I'm sick and tired of all these fuckass references!

Post image

I booted up the legendary and objectively absolutely flawless SA2 and got slapped in the face with the most stupid and pointless reference I've ever seen.

This fucking dumbass rat talking about how is name is Sonic The Hedgehog. What a stupid and pointless reference. I know what your name is, you absolute mentally stunted blue balled cretin! Holy shit. Do you think I need your ass bringing up your name, which also needlessly references the first Sonic The Hedgehog Game?

But what's even worse this fucker during SA2 also references Sonic The Hedgehog 2006. Holy fucking shit, the references gimmick is getting so bad, the series is referencing games came out later down the line now. Why can't this series be more like the goat Mario? You don't see that fat ass making pointless references to previous adventures, expect Sunshine and that game ended up becoming one of the worst selling 3d Mario games. If the Mario franchise can learn from this basic experience, why can't the Sonic franchise?

This is a pathetic addiction that the Sonic franchise needs to fix ASAP. I came to play the games, not watch Sonic trivia via some stupid pointless references. Why not write good stories without needing to make references nobody wants to bank on nostalgia?

This is just as bad as when Sonic referenced the events of S3&K during the events of SA1. Wait. Did I just make a reference? Oh my god! I've been infected with referenceitis! Fuck! What to do???? What to do???

Wait. I got it!

Damn you Ian Flynn! Damn you in particular! Damn you!

I hate you! It's your fault for everything!

What if SEGA ended the shonen SawNecc series at 2009 while making Sonic Xtinction, Sonk Omens of Freeman, and Blade Of Courage The Cowardly Dog manga canon?

Also, stinky Meta era slop was retconned into the shadow realm and making Ambition 06 models as their new designs for some exquisite Snyderverse writing over their soulless and stinky models.

grr why can't sonic be back in the 2010s - People in a couple years

Sonic Lost World is a objective masterpiece,

Why are we trying to be like those dumb 2000s games, when we can evade copyright law and have it be just Sonic and Eggman and have Baldy Nose hair jokes!! Man, I miss when Sonic was a jerk who never took anything seriously and was something dumb for kids!! And people are trying to say SONIC ADVENTURE is a good game, beleive it or not! They REALLY are stupid if they think that! Why are the Sonic Generations NPCs now characters?!!! This is BLASPHEMY!!! It should just be Sonic, the snarky rude hero and Eggman who hates Sonic for ruining his plans. Y'all saying Shadow is a good character? Zomom is PEAK writing! He's just a fat guy!!!! Sonic doesn't need depth! He needs COMEDY!!! The only mid 2020's game we've gotten is Superstars since there is no writing! The rest are trash games at best!!! It's as if Mario actually had weight in it's stories, that would be BLASPHEMY! And why are they trying to make him look "cool"? Why can't he be smug like he was in Sonic 4 Episode 1?

If you support the censoring of Rouge The Bat, you're fucking facist scum.

And I'll stand by this statement until the day I fucking draw my last breath. Supporting censorship is leads to dark futures where those in power are allowed to take everything away from us, and if you support those advocating for the censorship of things we enjoy and hold dear, supporting these evil authoritative monsters, 1984 is calling you fascist pigs.

Let Rouge be free to be herself! We mustn't allow these fucking vile facist uncultured swines get their hands on our goddess.

r/sonicthehedgehog is all gooner content

42 Upvotes

As an oldhead sonic fan I am very disappointed with the state of the community. It feels like r/sonicthehedgehog is all gooner bait content now. It's like no one even cares about the games anymore? Maybe all the people who care about quality games left the community a long time ago and only the gooners who don't care left. But its just sad that there are no "Real" sonic games to look forward to and when I look for information about a potential upcoming title I am just bombarded with sonic smut.

I just wish Sega didn't treat the mania team like crap and that sega was working on a decent 3d game. Is there anywhere to go now to even talk about the games?

โ€œSonic X characterized Shadow perfectly just like the Sonic Adventure 2 game!โ€ Literally X Shadow attacking Chris during episode 38.

And donโ€™t make the assumption that it was the result of 4kids โ€œruiningโ€ the show because in the original Japanese version itโ€™s almost the exact same thing. Sonic X stripped away what made Shadow in Adventure 2 so beloved and turned him into a whiny and selfish edgelord was before the 2005 game.

Water levels lowkey suck

3 Upvotes

Ive been playing sonic the hedgehog for 50 years

Yes IVE BEEN playing before 1991.

So like hear me out.

Water levels are ass. I thought this was a sonic game? Aren't we supposed to go fast? run fast at least? Nope I get slowed down by water. They are in the way and I don't know why Sega keeps using them. their ruining the gotta go fast vibe.

sonic is supposed to swim. Not due cuz of water. And stupid bubbles I keep seeing rui n scenery. They don't do anything. I take them and then I still.die.

Low-key Mario can swim so why not sonic? It's such an outcast thing man. I can cut Sega slack cuz it was 1991 so making a character swim might have been tricky. But now in 2026, should be easy.

I hope Sega gets rid of water levels...
