That’s great! 

I’m so excited to see it in about 4 or 5 months because like Two Heroes, in the UK the closest cinema to me showing it is three hours off and it isn’t even listed for home release yet, and Two Heroes is still nearly four months off from home release here.

*deep and long sigh of frustration*

Enjoy!

Is this about Forces or IDW or...?

IDW from I read.

It’s about Shadow.

I think IDW, heated discussion about.... Shadow.

I swear to god, these characters are not all that complicated.

I'll just copy and paste what I said from Sonic Fan's status, it includes parts that's specific to our conversation but it gets the general point across:

Quote

Idk man, I wasn't trying to be "heated" or even aggressive to anyone when I said my piece. I disagree, that's it. I don't see how he's been underused any more so than the other cast members because it was an arc where everyone got one issue of screentime, followed up by a Knuckles themed arc. Shadow (and Blaze for that matter) technically got the better treatment because while everyone else was busy trying to deal with the island defences, Shadow actually got to join the two against the big bad himself, despite having no real reason or connection to Metal Sonic than anyone else does. IMO, it could have easily have been Tails or Amy joining them. 

I don't see how anyone atm can be really underwhelming because everyone has more or less had the same amount of screentime, Shadow even more so. We're only 12 issues in and imo, there's tons more issues with the narrative and the way the first year was carried out other than *insert character here* wasn't used enough or was underwhelming in their use. The first year itself in terms of establishing the universe and cast was kind of sloppy because Ian didn't really seem to know if he wants to focus on the game universe or original stuff he wants, or whatever, and everyone was impacted by that.

If you took my thoughts as some kind of personal heated slight against you, I'm sorry, but that wasn't my intention, but I also don't see how this argument is really heated. I'd say it's just more down to serious frustration, because if you look at it from others' viewpoints, this exact same argument is cropped up each and every time an issue is released, and instead of actually legitimately discussing what the issue has done, and it's merits, it turns into yet another argument about why Shadow, or Amy, or whoever else is being shafted, and not properly used. 

It's one thing to have this argument every few issues, but at this point, it's every week or so, and that completely causes discussion of the comic itself to be shut down because it's gonna be buried in shouting matches about the same argument over and over again. I've been reading the series since Issue 1, and have been getting them monthly, yet I barely go into the topic any more because I'm so sick and tired of seeing some dumb argument about Shadow or someone else crop up every two or so weeks.

TL;DR - The argument with Shadow has cropped up yet again with the same counter-arguments, and a few people have taken it as personal and/or being aggressive to them in particular. 

At this point the best thing to do is just change the subject. We've got twelve issues to talk about and there is plenty there to talk about including if you take solicits into account. Also, apologies for my own contribution to the mess not making things better.

the shadow fans have a reputation for being a tad unreasonable re: the new book but today people jumped the gun and accused them of arguments they werent actually making

the vague status updates make things look bigger than they really are. 

I'll admit, hearing about this again has lowered my tolerance for it, so I'll own up for being accusatory.

I'm just really fucking sick of hearing about why Shadow needs to be written in this specific way to satisfy his fans.

And I say that as someone who likes him myself.

That's fair since I basically stopped reading the thread regularly over it but I just didn't really see anything bad in this instance aside from people being pretty long winded about what they wanted from Shadow. Something that's definitely been talked about over and over again but they're not being overly negative or toxic toward the book anymore and even praised it in their posts so I wasn't bothered. 

Two years? It's barely been a year and 2 months lol

Yeah I know, it’s not til November but I felt like pointing it out now.

Just like Nintendo has an image they like to keep, Sony has theirs.

Im guessing its  because a latge number of their core audience and casual gamers that only have a PS4  dont really  care about that genre/artstyle compared to their other properties

Yeah, I figured as much.

We’re expecting Sony to be too much like Nintendo by keeping up with their “mascot” franchises..

Maybe because of sales...or people not getting the MASTAH PEACE, that is Knack 2!

I second a new Ape Escape

Guess Knack didn't do as well as they wanted. Closest thing to those games is Astro Bot but because it is on the PSVR, not as many people would have played it.

As for Sony, they are finding success in mature single player cinematic games and a case of stick to what they are good at. To them that it is what's getting the sales and the GOTY awards, not the platformers. Japan Studio is more of their experimental studio these days so no more Ape Escape and no more Gravity Rush either, most of their games haven't done that well but wouldn't say that they flopped either. We also know that Naughty Dog don't want to deal with Jak anymore considering their plans.

Still out of that list I can see Ratchet having another game, maybe Sly on a good day. The rest nope.

....Fuck, that’s depressing.

Guess all they can do now is sell them to other companies or something if they don’t care about them anymore.

Welcome back home! How was your trip?

Tell that to Knuckles back in 2014. Look where it got him.

Can he? Sure. Now should he is a different story...Especially if you are a character in the Sonic franchise.
