How many Sonic fans want more playable characters in the next Sonic?  A significant amount, according to the results of the latest TSSZ @Issue poll.

We asked if you were more likely to play Sonic Boom if it had more playable characters.  Already, we know at least the core four cast members–Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy–will be playable in-game. Out of 660 votes, a confident 79 percent voted Yes.  The remaining 21 percent voted No.

It appears quite likely there will be other characters as part of Boom‘s more open world environment, but whether they will be playable in-game is anyone’s guess at this point.

A new poll is now available to vote on.  You can discuss the above poll results below in the comments.

  1. Blaze the Cat
    Playable
    That is all I need.
    I’d still love most others to be playable but I just want Blaze finally playable in a game that isn’t just an iOS game.

    I know now most everyone else is gonna be all, “OMG, WE WANT SHADOW IN BOOM”, because most all everyone cares about is Shadow, ‘cept for the ones who aren’t the most fond of him.

    2. “I know now most everyone else is gonna be all, “OMG, WE WANT SHADOW IN BOOM””
      Like you’re much better.

      1. He never said he was better, nor did he suggest it. Don’t be a douche bucket.

      2. If I may I think that RobotHono64 said that because Shadow is arguably the most popular character outside of the 4 playable characters of Sonic Boom, though Blaze has a lot of devoted fans because she’s a very interesting and complex character, even when she hasn’t starred in a lot of games like Shadow.

  6. Just give me Shadow, Blaze, and Silver…maybe Cream, just to make up a full alternate team.

    1. Also, “YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY!!” XD (Oh come on! Somebody had to say it! And now nobody else has to. Everybody wins….right?…no?…not even me?……)

  7. Blaze the Cat or Chaotix is all I need for this game. Maybe the game could have some unlockables, as long as there’s no Get All The Red Rings In The Game bullshit.

    1. I’m fine with Red Rings, as long as they ACTUALLY UNLOCK SOMETHING OTHER THAN A STUPID ACHIEVEMENT!!! Seriously SEGA. NOT. FUNNY.

        1. Or maybe Iizuka will jam the Wisps into this universe and allow you to unlock UNLIMITED COLORS.

        2. Iizuka said that he want’s to make the Wisps the new item capsule, so I don’t doubt that he’ll try to jam them into this game.

  8. I agree with most of you, I would love to see Blaze as a playable character again!! Though I hope they don’t change her too much if she ever make a debut in Sonic Boom, specially two characteristic aspects of her:

    Personality: It’s the thing I like the most about Blaze, her personality from games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, but I would completely discard her ‘Mary Sue’ personality from Sonic 06, I would love to see her former personality intact in the Sonic Boom world.

    Abilities: Yeah, she uses fire but that’s not all, she uses an acrobatic ballet fighting style and complements it with her fire powers, I will love to see how that translates in the more combat focused gameplay of Boom.

    1. Exactly! Use her Fire and ballet movements in combat for a character that would just be amazing to play as, and having her personality derive from her games where she shines the most like Rush and Rush Adventure! Also, I’d say add in her Jeweled Scepter as a standard weapon for her as a nice little tribute to Rush Adventure, maybe acting a bit like Sly Cooper’s cane in his games, minus the steath.

      One thing I will say is that in 06, she wasn’t a “Mary Sue”, she was just majorly un-important to the story, just massively shoe-horned in with out any thought and giving her absolutely nothing to do while Silver hogged the spotlight the entire story and not even building on their supposed friendship that they said they had in the game, he spent more time with Sonic and Shadow than his supposed best friend Blaze.
      Which is one reason I’d rather them keep Blaze and Silver seperate in here should they add Silver later on, no need for more people confusing her backstory in here than it already is in the main games.

      1. Well, yeah, I think you’re right, it just that in Sonic 06 I missed some of Blaze flaws that make her so interesting like her bad temper, her lack of trust in others and even her prejudice, but yeah I agree with you.

        The Jeweled Scepter sounds like a cool idea but it could make Blaze too similar to Amy as she uses her hammer in a similar way in Boom.

  9. *Facepalm*
    It’s kinda crazy how much those kids just mindlessly want extra baggage and useless characters that have nothing to do with the actual game just for the sake of playing as their favorite furry player skin.
    But whatever, I don’t wanna ruin the hypetrain you have going. For me, Boom already sucks as it is, and if Sega is willing to give you your precious one dimensional cast that haunted the franchise for almost a decade, then so be it.

    1. You think Sonic Boom sucks already and yet you spend your free time reading and compalining about it and about others personal opinions, you must feel really important now.

      1. Don’t I have the right to state how baffled I feel about those statistics? What a mindless fucking drone.

        1. Of course you have the right but it will be better if you actually knew what you are talking about before the verbal diarrhea 🙂

        2. Yes, anybody who likes anything Sonic or SEGA related and actually gives clear and fair reasons as to why they like that stuff is totally a mindless drone. As we all know, a TRUE Sonic fan would hate the next game to be released BEFORE it’s even released! Honestly Jeff, it’s alright that you aren’t on board with this thing, but please don’t make those of us who ARE excited for this feel guilty for even being interested. It’s one thing to complain about something, but it’s another to put somebody down for liking it.

        3. @Raw Edge
          That doesn’t even make sense. So your argument is invalid, pal.

          @Hero
          Didn’t I state that in the end of my original post?

        4. Yes, you did. And THEN you totally did a 180 and insulted someone who pointed out a fair point: you’re saying a game sucks before it is even released, hell, before a decent amount of footage has been released. Don’t insult people just for pointing out any fallacies in your argument (such as saying “that doesn’t even make sense to me, so your argument is invalid.”), it doesn’t defend your point. Of course you have the right to say what you think, but you probably should’t go around calling things “statistics” when you haven’t even brought up any figures. But I’m getting ahead of myself, the main point is say what you think, and be cool with everyone else about it.

        5. @Hero

          Don’t sweat it with him, this guy comes here bashing the game and everyone on the article, calling all the characters one dimensional (wich is wrong by the mere definition of the term) or saying the other characters are out of the context of the game (WTF?) so you see this guy doesn’t even know what is he talking about and I’m sure he’s here only to rant for the sake of it.

        6. @Raw Edge

          I know. I feel like half the time he does have some kind of point or that there could possibly be something to what he says. However, it’s so hard to understand the logic that he has for all of these things that he complains about, sometimes it feels like I’m talking to an angry brick wall. But nonetheless, he is a fan in some sense, and there has to be some way of understanding just how he got to the point of bashing on certain things in the series. But joke’s on me for coming to this site and expecting to understand people. :/

      1. Not exactly. I really enjoyed Tails & Knuckles in 3&K. I wouldn’t have any problem with it if the other characters stayed true to the game’s core essence, stayed simple with the amount of playable characters (to be fair, 4 characters is a pretty good middle ground), made sense in the context of the game (and not just for the sake of random new friends of the day).

        1. I….don’t quite understand what you mean by the whole “made sense in the context of the game (and not just for the sake of random new friends of the day)” comment. Explain?

    4. Extra baggage would be nice if it extends playtime. Useless characters would be a non-issue if they just made them useful. The sake of playing as another character after so long should be understandable. And assuming it’s just “skins” that people want is unfair.

      Wanting more playable characters doesn’t mean any of what you’re saying here. I assure you.

    6. I agree with you entirely. SEGA put this reboo-*cough* *cough*-I mean, franchise extension into motion so they could not have to worry about all that previous 2000’s crap. You want more playable characters? Then ask SEGA to put them in the next mainstream Sonic title because Boom has no time or space for them. Those are just my thoughts as playable though, if characters are added, but they are NPC’s then I’m just fine. SONIC BOOM DOES NOT SUCK.

      1. When did ask for others playable, we got Lost World which shoved more Wisps down our throats, giving us the exact opposite of what everyone was asking for.

    7. I like how you said “I don’t wanna ruin the hypetrain” when you just tried to ruin the hypetrain.

      That doesn’t even make any sense…

      1. I stated that it’s my opinion so. The game is already flawed as it is, so there’s no better time or place to go wild with the random extra friends cast.

        1. Um, how about AFTER the game has been released and we actually experience the cast and game being as flawed as you claim it to be? Because at this point in development, the only way I can logically agree with you is if you came from the future (which I’m sure you’re going to rant back at me about also).

  10. Well it was kinda annoying playing ONLY sonic the past 20 games and the Olympic, car racing, riders, don’t count.

    1. But it isn’t just Sonic, it’s Amy, Tails, and Knuckles as well. There is no need for anybody else.

      1. For some people, maybe. But for a lot of us, we’d rather just PLAY as all of those characters rather than either just having them as cutscene characters OR even worse, not having them at all. I’m just thankful to be able to play as Knuckles, Tails, and Amy again, but if there are more playable characters for this game, or any game in the future, then THE MORE THE MERRIER (well, so much for avoiding that joke again)! It;s because we don’t get to play some of these characters enough that they are viewed as useless, so why wouldn’t we want them in anything else?

        1. I’m pretty sure the reason Big the Cat is considered useless isn’t because we don’t get to play as him enough

        2. I didn’t say “ALL of the characters”. Some are considered useless because in the grand scheme of things they didn’t do too much. Characters like Big and Marine didn’t really get much of a chance to do anything beyond their debut roles, and even their debuts made them a bit difficult to deal with. Other more mainstream characters like Cream or the Chaotix kind of walk a fine line between these two worlds. While nowadays they don’t seem to be doing as much as they did in their debuting titles, you can still argue that they’ve done some good, and their personalities aren’t as annoying half the time. Personality is another factor as well. People don’t really care for Big or Marine that much mostly due to their personalities, with Big being a doofus and Marine being…well, a brat, I guess. I’m ok with them I guess, but they do tend to be the characters that most fans could agree on hating. Though I still like them, I don’t necessarily miss them being around either. When I was talking about a lack of playability being the main reason for perceived uselessness of some characters, I was mostly talking about the characters everyone else was talking about (Silver, Shadow, Blaze, etc.). I’m sure that my theory doesn’t apply to all of the cast, but I’m certain that it does at least play some role in the grand scheme of things.

  11. This would be a good chance to re-introduce and re-invent some characters like Mighty and Fang who have been left behind.

    I’d also like to see the return of some of the lesser used but still modern characters like Cream, Silver and Rouge.

    Oh, and the Chaotix, specifically Vector! GIMME SUMMA ‘DAT BUFF ‘DILE LOVE!

    1. I would kill to have Fang brought back. The series desperately needs a character like him.

      1. Not that I don’t like Fang or anything, nor am I against bringing any classic characters back, but exactly why should they bring Fang/Knack back? I don’t quite recall him having that much of a personality, or at least he was thrown away before he could develop one, outside of the comics of course. I’m not criticizing you or anything, I’m just genuinely curious.

        1. Fang is unique among Sonic characters in that he’s one of the “Normal” ones. He’s not particularly fast or strong. He relies on guns to fight and his only real modes of mobility are is Marvelous Queen motorcycle and his spring-tail. Also, he’s one of the few truly neutral characters in the series. Unlike Team Dark, the Babylon Rouges or even Eggman himself Fang is only in it for his own personal gain, snatching treasure first and asking questions later.

          All the classic characters that time forgot(Bark, Bean, Heavy, etc…) have unique personalities and designs that aren’t really seen in modern characters and they’re all just as much a part of the Sonic series as the overrated Shadow and Blaze. Rather than dumping those characters into the fray with expected results, it’d be fun to see how they re-invent characters who went missing a long time ago.

        2. Still kind of sounds like the Babylon Rouges to me, but whatever.

          I’m sure it would be interesting, but I do see a few problems with that. For a character as different as that, a lot of the fan base who didn’t already know or care about Fang in the past would view someone like that as being a bit too gimicky (though to be fair, we have gone through A LOT of gimicks in the past decade or so). We technically already got ourselves a modern day character who uses guns and rides motorcycles, and we all know how the general public received that.

          Again, I would LOVE for these characters to have their chance to shine, but I’m not sure what the reaction would be, and even if it’s a safe choice to bring them in here. For one thing, again, because the characters are unique does not outright state what their personalities are. They only appeared in one-off titles (except Fang, he’s a bit more of a veteran) and there’s only so much to go on about their personalities based on their animations alone. To be fair, that is mostly how Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles got their beginning personalities, but they were able to develop those in the following era. Fang and everyone else however, weren’t so fortunate. Really, the only personality I can imagine these characters actually having would be the ones from the Archie comics, because they actually had the creativity to imagine what they would be like based on particular features about them and generating personalities off of that. Bean is crazy because in The Fighters he had a bunch of cartoony animations and used bombs, Bark is silent because he was a heavy hitter, etc. I’m not saying that the game versions can’t have, or rather GET, personalities, but I am having serious doubts that there was much there to begin with.

          My only other doubt is that people may think that they are too “different” to have involved in the modern franchise, and I can kind of see where they are coming from. But since Boom is such a big change in direction, who knows, it might actually work…provided they do it right.

  12. I dig the playable cast so far, though I can’t really think of any other characters I REALLY want to play.
    I guess Blaze would be pretty cool. (or should I say…. Pretty hot? Ohhhh…. Bad puns…)

    2. Don’t feel bad man. I already killed the “More the Merrier” meme. Your’s wasn’t nearly as bad.

  13. I’d love to see Shadow, silver, rouge and blaze playable.
    I think shadow would be great with an emphasis on his chaos powers, teleporting behind enemies, using spears, blast and a bunch of other stuff.
    I’d like too see Silvers powers from 06 refined and more fleshed out and making him faster wouldn’t hurt too.
    I think rouge would be cool as the more stealthy character she was meant to be, hiding in shadow and sneaking around would be really cool.
    Blaze should use her acrobatic ballet skills combined with her fire powers.
    I’d also like to see cream as a sort of codec character, maybe she’d be older and smarter in boom

    1. Now that sounds interesting. I wouldn’t mind seeing such refinements of the characters’ overall abilities like that. Plus, if Amy is getting such an upgrade, I would like to see characters like Cream get their much needed usefulness-upgrade. Don’t get me wrong, I love characters like Cream, but I can kind of see why people would argue that characters like her don’t really do that much, especially these days.

  14. Shadow and Silver is…Overrated. Silver is my most favorite Sonic character, but why? I feel that there won’t be any extra playable characters. Just be satisfied with what you have.

    1. I agree, both are kind of overrated by most people though I still like Shadow, specially because Sonic Adventure 2 and the comics.

      And I aslo agree that there won’t be anymore playable characters in Sonic Boom, but I think that’s a strong possibility in the sequel.

  15. I would have a total of 16 playable characters in the game. The ones who are already confirmed of course, plus the remainder of Team Rose, all the members of Teams Dark and Chaotix, Silver, Blaze, Metal Sonic and either a wild-card character (i.e. Fang, E-102 Gamma, Chaos 0) or a brand-new character.

  16. The most funny about this is all these years when the media were constantly mocking the side characters and their relevancy in the Sonic universe. Another proof that the critics are clueless about what pleases the fans.

  17. I wish the Chaotix would get as much hype as Blaze did. For some reason, I’m not to into her character and it makes me sad not being able to get on that bandwagon for some reason.

    I like Rouge and Omega far more then Shadow as well. My position isn’t a very fun one to be in all things considered.

    1. Play both Sonic Rush games if you haven’t, if you already played them then I guess that character is not your type.

      1. I’ve seen them both in their entirety. I know a lot about Blaze and her character. And she’s still not someone I find particularly interesting. There’s nothing I can do about that.

        I just want to see more of the characters I like eventually get more backing from people. It’s a little sad for me personally just seeing nothing but Blaze and Shadow support when I’m a fan of the other, less serious characters.

  18. As I studied the various games and characters in great detail for a thing I did, I think the characters only work if they’re different enough. It seems some people here get it too.

  21. I really hope they add extra playable characters. I really don’t like being stuck with the “classic” cast all day. Give us Shadow with super speed and Chaos Powers. Give us Silver with psychokinesis and other abilities. Give us Blaze with acrobatics and fire skills. Give us Omega with an absurd amount of weapons and rocket boosters. I would much prefer having more playable characters than being stuck with the same boring cast all day. Anything is better than being stuck with Sonic all day, but they need to change things up.

    1. Of course I want to play as Sonic a lot (the most probably), but I do feel like I’ve been wrongfully deprived of playing as other characters lately, especially my favorites like Shadow, Silver, Blaze, etc. I would love to see them get some well needed playability treatment and be able to play them in a newly imagined, yet familiar, way. I would love to have everything you just listed, though I would also like Silver to get a bit of a speed boost, just to establish what level his speed is once and for all.

      2. Coming from a guy who actually did and still does enjoy 06…

        1. In case this is why you’re bringing this up, 06 failures had nothing to do with it’s abundance of characters, rather of lack of effort from Sega.

        2. The first 3 3D games had a lot of characters in them as well, and the handheld games, and spinoffs.

        Dunno if you’re trying to be funny or actually making an argument, but if it’s the latter, it fails, hard.

    3. Well, if the core cast is boring, why are you still playing Sonic to begin with?

      1. People have different tastes. Some like the classic cast more than the newer cast, while others like the newer cast better than the classic cast. Doesn’t mean anyone is wrong for doing so, they just like different characters, so some games just aren’t for them.

  22. I’ll admit, I wouldn’t mind seeing a Boom-upgraded version of the Chaotix. Plus, with an extra fourth slot to fill, perhaps somebody rather “mighty” could fill the post as speedster? Huh SEGA? Huuuuuuuuuuh?…….no?…..really?…

  23. Shadow, Blaze and Silver would be nice. I’m not against any characters being playable though, and I’m perfectly fine with the characters we already have.

  24. One thing I think everyone is forgetting is what if the game has the possiblity of some DLC sometime later? Lost World at least got Yoshi’s Island and maybe a Zelda themed one, (or not since it’s been months since that was teased) Boom could have some DLC later on in the form of 2 or so extra characters or a few new stages maybe based off an episode of the show itself or something.

    1. They did say the Zelda DLC would be released in June. I think it might be themed after Zelda U if they’re waiting that long. But maybe not. I don’t really care either way.

      1. “Zelda U”? I thought the next game was Hyrule Warriors, or something like that? Is there another Zelda game that’s been announced or soemthing?

        1. I think he meant Hyrule Warriors, he just called the game by a nick-name I bet.
          A Lost World stage based on Hyrule Warriors would be a rather odd thing to see, but still kinda interesting, honestly, I see them doing something off A Link Between Worlds a bit more since they could take a dungeon from there and work it into Lost World’s gameplay.

  25. More playable characters means less resources to make the core game good. Given the problems Sonic games have had just making Sonic fun to play, I’d rather they keep their focus narrow rather than spread things out and over-extend themselves.

    1. This kind of reason is beyond most of the yes voters in this poll. They either donrt understand or don’t care for quality, so long as their favorite side character gets some spotlight

      1. There’s a whole lot more to it than that. Not every positive fan is an ignorant tool you know. Quality is an overall distributed thing. It doesn’t go all into one source from another, at least not all the time. If the quality put into characters is ONLY coming from the “relinquished” quality of the gameplay, then there must not be anything else in the game at all to draw from. It is possible to make the gameplay and characters about as fleshed out as they can be without having to dry one or the other up. It’s based mostly on money…and boy are they pouring a lot into it. Frankly, I don’t like making these assessments until AFTER the game is released, because until it is, practically nothing anybody is predicting here is true, and I see no point in judging based on what hasn’t happened yet.

      2. It really seems both you and Ryan are just making excuses as to why there shouldn’t be more characters. Even then, it’s a poor one because you can make different gameplay styles work in a game, even if you argue the gameplay quality of SA1, 2, and the Warehog, who’s to say they can’t be upgraded from that?

        On that note, quality is not only subjective, but ranges far more from just have the best gameplay. I find Colors, Generations, and Lost World to be low quality games because they like everything I liked about the Sonic series, aside from Sonic’s own speed. 06 isn’t a quality game itself, but it had a lot more potential, just lack of effort from Sega, but the ambition going into the game alone make it more enjoyable to me.

  26. If I’m not confused and these are some of the devs who worked on the Jak series then I would imagine there might be a number of mini-games peppered throughout the main story. I wouldn’t be surprised if they incorporated a number of the other characters there. Fully playable sounds unlikely though – the devs must surely be aware that Sonic has a reputation for unpolished games as of late, and so would probably want to concentrate on solid gameplay for a few characters rather than trying to squeeze in everyone like in Sonic ’06.

    1. People always seem to bring up 06 and having a lot of characters, as if that was the problem, instead of, you know, Sega just not putting in the needed effort to make that game better, which they could’ve done because the Team Amigo DLC actually fixed Tails speed, or just delayed the game in the first place. As I told another user, we’ve had all these years of game without all the other characters and they still weren’t all that great. Lost World should’ve been a wake up call, or better yet, Colors. You talk about needing concentrate on gameplay, and yet, the games have not benefited from it, only reviewers and people following their skewed, payed, opinions.

  27. I don’t really want any other playable characters. The four they already have are good with me. Not because I don’t want to run around as Blaze or Shadow but because I just want them to concentrate on making the four they have as good as they can possibly be. It’s going to be hard enough for them to emerge from the shadows of past Sonic games’ bad reputations like ’06, Lost World, etc. with these core cast members. It wouldn’t be a good move to add baggage now. Later, when the series is established I hope they do bring Blaze and Shadow into the mix. (And Rouge. Am I the only one that wants to play as Rouge?)

    2. “It’s going to be hard enough for them to emerge from the shadows of past Sonic games’ bad reputations like ’06, Lost World, etc. with these core cast members.”

      Lost world should be proof enough that constantly cutting the rest of the characters from the series is not having a positive effect. Also, I know a lot of you guys are still depressed over 06, but maybe if people stopped blaming it’s flaws on it’s content and constantly bringing it, maybe we can get on somewhere. You may call the characters baggage, but it’s baggage that attracts more people to Sonic.

      1. I think you misunderstood me a little. I’m not saying I don’t want other characters besides the core four cast involved. I’m saying I think that for now they have to focus on making these big four characters as good as they can be. Throwing extra characters in now will ultimately lead to the developers spreading themselves too thinly. They should perfect this core cat they’ve established first and then add new playable characters to the franchise. The wider cast of Sonic the Hedgehog is only baggage for now. In future games I would love to see them shine and blossom within this franchise. Now, however, when a vast majority of finicky fans are still debating about blue arms let alone whether the game will be good, is not the time. Convince people Sonic Boom is worth a shot first, then move on to the rest of the cast.

        1. I knew full well what you meant, I my reply was that cutting the characters doesn’t mean things are gonna get better, and if anything, things progressively got worse for the series, and not just in the gameplay department. Sonic Genesis, a GBA port of the original, ended up BEING WORSE then the original. Sonic 4? 0 substance and barely anything to make it seem like an actual sequel, hell, Sonic 4 EP 2 should’ve been EP 1. Sonic Colors? Boring, restrictive gameplay that isn’t even in full 3D, but on rails, bad music, porly written story, just overall bad content, not to mention much of the level design isn’t even that good. Generations was a step up from that but missed too many opportunities, with a lack of substance that make cheaper games on steam look better. Lost World just ain’t shit.
          My point is, simply removing all those characters is not an instance fix, the devs are still gonna put the level of effort into the game either way, so an abundance of characters isn’t even an issue at this point. Furthermore, if you feel so strongly about the devs putting in more work to make the game more “established”, you should be saying something about the fact that they keep having separate devs make hand held ports of the same title instead of helping with the one, or simply making another. Another thing to, Sega has made over 10 or so Sonic games in these past few years, most of them not using other characters who just being quick cash in’s. That should be a red flag for you after all this time.

  28. I’m not sure if it is a good idea to ask for more, to be honest. 4 playable carachters is awesome, and it wil probably be well-balanced and fun. But more carachters?! I want them to focus on the key-group, and make them work.

  31. This comment section more than any other has finally shown me just how much of a schism exists between classic and modern fans. I… don’t want to live on this planet anymore. With so many people like you around, it’s clear that classic Sonic is truly dead 🙁

    2. Dude, how about not seeing Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic as two separate entities anymore? How about just seeing Sonic as SONIC? “You” from 10 years ago is just as much “you” as you are now, the only difference being your levels of experience and maturity. It’s easier to distinct between the “two Sonics” for the sake of distinguishing between different eras of consoles and gameplay, but in terms of defining a character, it’s utterly pointless. To me, Sonic as he is now is the same person he was back then, only with a bunch of more skills and experiences attached to him. I’m sorry if you miss how things were, but there’s no point in pinning for something that is in the past now. Elements of it still exist, but in the end time can only move forward, and considering how attempts to return to the older ways haven’t translated too well as of late, then it’s probably best just to keep moving forward. Those things you like aren’t gone forever, but there’s no point in saying that a version of a character is dead if he is still alive and moving today. I’m sorry that you feel that way man, I really do, but I can’t wait for the day that you look back on this with a more positive view. Take care man.

      1. I think the only real reason Adventure fans are left out is because it’s a natural tendency for people to look at point A, the beginning, and point B, where it is now. It’s easier for people to argue and complain about how different something is if all they focus on how it was then and how it is now, rather than focusing on the slow transformations in between that make the transition more natural.

        2. I agree. I don’t think the internet has been kind to Sonic fans in general. It’s given voice to those who have grown too impatient to look for actual information and actually form a solid argument, and instead want to prove/state that their opinion is right and that anyone who doesn’t agree with it is an enemy who stands against their very character and way of life. If a simple statement of opinion can challenge one’s character, then what does that say about that person’s character to begin with?

  32. I wonder how many of the people who voted “Yes” are among the MANY people on this site who still won’t shut up about Sonic Adventure 3?
    …

    2. Me for example, but why do you bring that up? When did this article turned on a Sonic Adventure 3 thread or who even mentioned that game?
