I don't normally do rant videos, but I've had enough.

Good rant man, all too often people find something they love and want more of it while rejecting any change and then complaining that they're essentially buying the same game. It's bizarre.

@scscanlan I whole-heartedly agree.

Sonic Adventure is my favorite Sonic game aswell, probably because it was the first game to introduce story and voices not to mention awesome CG cut-scenes!

To tell you the truth though, the reviewers have bashed Sonic ever since he went 3D. I still remember reading the first review over 10 years ago and Sonic Adventure got something like 7.5.

Sonic 3 and knuckles was awesome.

@TheScarrend Actually man, it's not the lack of content, it's that there's a lot of content that barely has something to do with sonic. Think about unleashed, people hated the warehog because it wasn't like sonic, but it was still fun. If anything, the adventure games had more content then most adventure games outside of the series I can think of, but people just right it off as being forced to play as this character for no reason. Just compare sonic colors to adventure 2.

I rant out of space, but to add, I've bought Spawn Armageddon and Ghost Rider and both of them are similar 3D beat'em ups like god of war and Warehog and both of them are good. It's hard to say or not that warehog haters hate 3D beat'em ups because all 4 games are the same way and are good, even Devil May cry, so what was the big deal with the warehog other then not being sonic. People said they'd rather see knuckles do it, but the argument is still there since he's not like sonic.

I pretty much agree with you on everything, even with 06 and I still like that game, and really, it's the only one that's actually worse off then most other titles, but I'll take it over colors. BTW, about the warehog being like god of war, I've never heard anyone but one guy say that they hated that game, and the guy who hates god of war likes the warehog.

How can you hate sonic 3 if you like sonic 1-2?!

[IdeaCochise]

i never really cared about sonic, but this explains a lot, good rant

[gamestats1go1]

@HelsinkirocksAGF The rough times are still a coming, I'm afraid. I've basically been forced out of my house and I've had to move in with one of my friends on the other end of the state. It's making things difficult :/

On a mildly related note, my friend and I are actually heading out to play n trade right now to pick up Sonic Adventure DX purely because this video made us want to play it.

@TatsuMakiSeppuKyaku (cont) Just like with Duke Nukem Forever, its not as bad as people say it is. They have so many ridiculous expectations, that when they arent met they instantly bash the game, sega, and fans.

Anyway, how have you been- last I heard from you- you were having some rough times.
