It just sickens me that we are becoming Nazi Germany 2.0 while Germany itself is looking at us in horror. My grandfather is spinning in his grave as we speak. 😱

*puts yet another point down for unleashed*

The only time 2D's kinda confused me in a modern Sonic is LW, and even then it's because I don't quite understand why it was necessary rather than disliking it in itself.

I can completely understand needing to rely on it in a boost game given how much time it takes to make even one stage, and even aside from that I just...don't mind 2D sections, even if there's a lot of it. The problem I have with Colours and especially Forces is that the way they pace these sections and switching between 2D/3D is kinda bad sometimes (or...pretty much all the time in Forces' case); ironically what I'm talking about is exemplified best in Generations tho', with how Planet Wisp Act 2 ends on a 2D section unlike every other main Modern level in the game.

If there’s lots of 2D sections to the point of it being more the game, what’s the point of calling it a 3D Sonic game when that bit only covers a minimul piece of the game?

It also says something when Unleashed was more cinematic in Empire City alone than in most of the Forces stages combined with all their fancy QTEs, AND was still meatier than most Forces stages. Granted Unleashed does have more QTEs by comparison, at least theirs doesn't comprise nearly half of your major interactions within a stage, and they were usually short and mostly used for minor points gain.

As far as I recall they've always gone out of their way to describe them as having both 3D and 2D (and not really emphasizing one over the other). Which makes sense, it's one of the most unique things about these games. Even Forces marketing brought this up, at worst I think they described it a couple times as "a 3D game," but only in contrast with Mania. Which I think makes sense for a few reasons, even level design.

Unleashed was the last of a lot of things.

I guess it depends on how it affects the author in general. 

I guess some would see it more of an author places his anger thoughts onto a villian as a way to help deal with these actions. Then again people like rooting for evil characters for fun, at least. One should try and pay attention to what the author and villian might say if it gives away anything.

That's generally common in making a villain three dimensional anyway. Giving them a relatable source of frustration and hatred but venting it out in immoral ways. Yeah we WANT to do that, but we know we shouldn't.

I actually tend to find hero characters are a more divisive form of author tract. A villain is at least a slave to their own vices and regularly faces the consequences for them. A hero doing such is often glorifying those beliefs and personal traits and trying to make them in the right. Hell even if they're not, pitting them against a villain with said relatable traits and making them act generically righteous about it can still make them odious.

I was the meme

What do you mean, we "had" SSMB memes?

What happened to President Crow

What memes?

Character development

hahaha

we all pay taxes now and eat bran flakes

I wish I didn’t. 

Err.. we do have some memes or at least personal jokes. Zaysho wants to be banned. The banhammer. Ferno leaves and something big gets announced. 1970s trousers mode. Of course PRESIDENT CROW.

In a way, we are sort of glad that we aren't memed focused.

Between his behavior demonstrated above and her just letting people get ahold of those kind of photos, I'm not sure this is looking like a stable relationship. How long has she dealt with this?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?

Ok

What kind of horrific game would we be playing that would bring Jet the Hawk's family into the fold

No, just a flashback cutscene.

What kind of horrific game would we be playing thay would bring Jet the Hawk into the fold

Either the one that redeems the mess Free Riders left, or one that completely screws up on a level even Free Riders would look comparatively good next to.

I liked Gerald in SA2 and didn't like that later games retconned him to be more heroic and well-intentioned. Honestly when it comes to SA2 and Shadow's backstory I pretend only SA2 exists

I didn't have any issue with the idea of him being seen as a well-intentioned guy, but I definitely think there could have been more effort as to how he was portrayed. Like maybe he was well intended only in relation to people he cared for (Maria and Shadow), but came off as a callous, smug and arrogant (because come on, he made the ARK in the shape of his face while Eggman was still in diapers; tell me that doesn't scream GIANT EGO) to anyone he didn't particularly care for, and thus he kept on accidentally stepping on people's toes and making enemies when he shouldn't. I could imagine him getting into a cold feud with the GUN commander at the time, thus setting up for his own eventual downfall.

He has the same voice actor as Vector in Heroes, I can not take Gerald seriously nowadays.
