So this topic is about articles people have posted about Sonic. You can post any article, whether it be a good one, a hilariously bad one, on in between. You can also post article-like videos (You know, ones that seem like an article, but read out on a video). I will start with this AMAZING article I found on ScrewAttack.
http://www.screwatta...games-were-good

Such a breath of fresh air from all the mindless Sonic-Bashing that goes on in the internet, and I agree with almost everything he says. I posted a slightly more detailed comment on the article itself, and I will copy-paste it here.

Spoiler


And Indigo's comment. I am adding it because I think...well..it's a good comment!

Thoughts? Discuss!

EDIT: When people post links, they will all go HERE for organization:

Nice idea for a topic. Seeing as you're the one who started it, think you could perhaps keep tabs on topics in the first post, CW?

It's nice to see a positive article about Sonic for once. It feels good indeed.

Certainly brought a smirk to my face, its been too long since i bothered to read an online game article because of all the Biased writers hating for the sake of hating to score low blows on falling franchises (unless its Mario of course)

so satisfying seeing Sonic kick them in the face the last couple of years, they just refuse to admit they're wrong and deny everything only nit picking on minor thing

"COME ON WRITERS! STEP IT UP!"

I went ahead and left a comment with my thoughts on that site. I'll keep an eye out for more articles, whether they are positive or negative in nature.

That was certainly refreshing though, I tell ya h'what!

You mind if I copy-paste your comment into the OP? I agree with all of it and I think it would be nice to have in the OP.

Its so nice and refreshing to finally see someone acknowledge the franchises growth instead of just hating on it because apparently its the cool thing to do. I cannot tell you how mind numbingly annoying it is to see comments like "Oh, Sonic was only good in 2D" "People still like Sonic?" or some other bullshit, and completely ignoring the fact that not EVERYTHING WAS SHIT AFTER 1999. I mean the way people talk about him, you'd think Sonic never had a decent game in 3D, which is complete bullshit not even considering either Colors or Generations.

I don't know when it became cool to hate on Sonic, but I hope this makes people ease up a bit.

I forget where I ran across this (might've been here, actually, I dunno), but it's something I've kept on hand since. I don't agree with everything he says, and maybe not even with most of it, but it's...interesting. Worth reading. IMO, anyway.

e: Although his Zelda article that I'm reading through now seems to be a well-worded turd, considering it seems to boil down to "Zelda should be hard and confusing, like when I was a kid!"

Wow, that's a good read, even if I don't agree with him most of the time. So basically what you said.

I guess that counts, if it's a article-like video. So yes.

All right, thank you.

http://www.1up.com/d...re?&cId=3157060 We've had a good article, now let's have a BAD one.

Now, I actually agree with delay the time between games a bit, but I don't agree with anything else. Another reviewer who hates Sonic's friends and any sort of story in a Sonic game. When will people learn.....

Meh. I've seen that 1up article, and well, I don't like it.

Here's an article that I've come across many times, but I'm not really sure what to think of it.

I hate to use personal history that links to Sonic, but: https://sites.google...cziese/about-me The first paragraph is relevent.

Classic Sonic reaches 7th in UGO 'Best Silent Protagonists In Video Games'.

http://www.ugo.com/g...s-classic-sonic

I'm getting a little annoyed of this misconception. Sonic has always been a talker, regardless of whether we're talking about the original Sonic or the western interpretations. He talked in the manuals. He talked in-game when it was technically possible. He talked in the western shows. He talked in the Japanese movie.

Articles like that is the reason why Sega decide to keep Classic Sonic silent in Generations because of people's dumb misconception that Sonic should never talk cause he don't talk in the older games. He talks everywhere else in almost every form of media.

"Back in 1991, the blue blur didn't need attitude." Ok, they don't know what they are talking about.
