Anyone feel that Shard is overrated by the Sonic comic community?

>>169148531
The mere concept of "good Metal Sonic" is enough to make the character considered memorable even if it's in idea instead of the actual portrayal of the character.

>>169148531
I like him, but he is kinda overrated.
Then again I think Sonic Unleashed is grossly overrated by the fanbase.

>>169149309
Unleashed is a case of something being shit on so much that things snapped back to overrating it. It still has a shit-ton of problems, but didn't deserve nearly the amount of hate it got.

>>169149678
It's a weird case, because it's exactly that. Outside the fanbase, or on the fringes at least, it's underrated. But the deeper you get into the fandom, the more adulation it gets. It's getting its dick sucked nearly as much as the Genesis games and Adventure games nowadays desu

I like the game, but it's got major fucking issues

>>169150381
>It's getting its dick sucked nearly as much as the Genesis games and Adventure games nowadays desu

I wouldn't go that far. I've seen people claim Unleashed is a good game. But I've never seen anyone claim it's the best game ever, the end all be all to Sonic, and all Sonic should be. Shit I've seen done with the Genesis games and Adventure games for years now, I still see it done to this day. Even in these very threads.

>>169150381
I'm actually convinced that most of the love for Unleashed is coming from people who played Unleashed Project on Generations without realizing how much better the boost gameplay was in Generations compared to Unleashed.

Why the FUCK would you map homing attack to the boost button when it was on the jump button for 10 fucking years?

OH DARK

>>169148531
He barely existed.

>>169150951
As someone who likes Unleashed more than most, the Unleashed Project was only impressive because it hasn't really been done before in regards to Sonic modding. The boost gameplay is faster and more rewarding in Unleashed than in Generations but I'm not sure it's better per-se.

Not best girl, but not bad at all.

She seems a lot less happy and sassy in the reboot. I believe they were trying to establish that while you didn't see her actually grow to want a body and be accepted among her friends like before, she still has a lot more to learn about being a person and having emotion and the like. One of my favorite scenes in the reboot is where Sally shows her the crystal cave that they were going to let Eggman search. She comes across as a bit more "lost" and confused now, for lack of a better word.

>>169160804
>>169161978
Newfag here, who is this cute lady? In what game does she makes an appereance? Why is she so cute?

>>169163846
She's not from any of the games. Her name's Nicole, she's from SaTAM, but this design is from the comics. She's an AI that gained sentience and aids the Freedom Fighters (Basically a bunch of guys including Sonic that fight Eggman)

>>169163926
Awww shit, and here I was hoping that I could play as her. I assume that there isn't a mod for generations that lets me play as that cute lady, right?

>>169164236
Nope. Her and the rest of the Freedom Fighters aren't in any of the games outside of a very small cameo in Spinball

>>169154826

IT's pretty forced, like in a Sonic Heroes "WE'RE SONIC HEROES". It's bad, but like, got a weird charm to it

Yup, I had to basically delete the .exe and replace it with a modded one, then I had to download an injector and patch that .exe. Okay game tho, it starts out great but the change from horror to straight up shooting was something that I didn't like.

Which is like the exact opposite of deadly premonition, i loved it, but game glitched at random points, and killed my 10h progression twice with a save file bug. It was at that point where I truly saw the downside of PC gaming.

>>169166327

>>169166327
The game was just a conundrum when it came to shooting, it tried to be realistic with the whole lack of HUD and how the health system is but you cant even pick up an enemy's gun and they infinitely respond so those on their first playthrough get killed quickly. I hated that refinery level, going back and forth with an enemy using a shotgun or tommy gun in every corner you turn.

>>169176046
>Why does Sega hate Sonic and his fanbase so much?
What exactly do you mean?

>Why are they so obsessed with internet streamers?
Because they're popular and often have younger fanbases.

Pretty much this. As much as it's disliked, it's smart from a business perspective. That's all it comes down to at the end of the day, sadly.

>>169176097
>>169176171
And it can get those streamers to shut up when it comes to bad mouthing Sonic. Because now going off on some angry rant after being treated so nicely just makes them seem like even more of an idiot than before.

>>169176097
They've spent 10 years trying to eliminate everything in the franchise that isn't Sonic, Tails, or Eggman, killed every form of tie-ins that aren't Boom, stopped selling merchandise that isn't "retro", pick fights with fans on social media, and hold up Egoraptor (a man who has more hate for Sonic than he has chins) as the greatest thing in the world.

Even the big Sonic event last year was about shilling Hello Kitty toys and nothing else.

No if they were YouTuber-pandering games then they'd be Mario Ripoff #3187 like Lost World or they'd give Sonic a backpack and make him vulnerable. One of the biggest pipe dreams for fans, and I mean actual fans, was a new classic-style 2D game made by the team that remastered 1, 2 and CD and Sega gave us that. And after Lost World and Boom, most fans, and again these are actual fans, just wanted to go back to Generations, so they did.

the way I see it is that the stories of SA1 and SA2 where separate from each other. sure there are a few throwbacks but there are mostly their own thing.
so I would make the story of SA3 separate as well.
i don't even know what kind of story it would be

>>169154626
Every week or so I'll load up a Sonic game.
When I was in High School all the way to Uni if I got a bit depressed I'd load up Sonic 2.
Now I play Sonic 2 when I want to think about things because that game has become something I can do mindlessly because of how often I've played it.
But work and commitments and wanting to do shit with my life made me not play them as much.

>>169199916
Half of those are either explained in the game or irrelevant.

Big lives in the mystic ruins just because he feels like it. There's no special importance, he's meant to be some everyday dude who got caught up in stuff he's otherwise not connected to.
Gerald did research on Chaos and the Mystic Ruins, therefore the Ark has a copy of the shrine in order to harness the Chaos Emeralds.
Big on the Ark is just a running gag and probably means nothing.
Rouge's secret employer in SA2 was the President. She was a double-agent.
Biolizard was the prototype of the ultimate lifeform. It says so in the boss fight. Therefore Shadow, the true ultimate lifeform, beat it up to prove he was superior.
Your last two questions are the only questions, and even those are hypothetical conjecture and not really anything relevant to the lore.

>>169199916
Here's as simple answer to all your questions, that I think will work fine: It's a fucking video game for children, it doesn't matter

>>169154626
Not a single person if the OP images are anything to go by. Sonic needs good gameplay and a competent dev cycle, not fleshed out characters and some bullshit compelling story. I hope when Mania releases, we get more discussion on the games than the fucking comics. On that note, I hope the comic gets canned and this general can talk about the games more.

>>169203172
>Crying about people discussing Sonic related things in the Sonic general

Boo hoo, bitch nigga. We're still talking about the games, but it's not the only thing we'll talk about.

>>169203172
This. The most story and "characterization" Sonic should have is something like Sonic 2, maybe Sonic 3&K if they really want to push it. But no more than that, because it's not needed. What's needed is good gameplay, and only that. Sonic doesn't have fleshed out characters anyways, so I don't get why people get annoyed when they're written "OOC" when they don't have a character to begin with outside of maybe a single trait

>>169203172
We haven't had a new game worth talking about since fucking Boom.
Mania talk has happened and apart from speculation there ain't much more to talk about other than gameplay and story, and look where we are now.

The comics at least kept us going from going into autistic rants like Sparky's.

Eyes, try doing them in one fluid motion instead of two bent lines. They look a bit pointy at the bottom which makes them look like cat irises imo. Also, give eyes a white dot for dat reflection.

Some of you here would take a good story and bad gameplay over no story and good gameplay. Most of the faggots on /vg/ and /v/'s first game was Sonic Colors or Generations. Yes, it's been THAT long.

That's no better. Deny it as much as you want, but Sonic needs a serious rehaul and rebooting that comic already proved to be futile with the recent fiasco. Let's get some good games out the door, get a competent team and director for Sonic and then you can have your silly freedom fighter comic.

But what does the first have to do with the second? The existence of the comic isn't stopping SEGA from putting competent people on Sonic.

>>169205376
A reboot could be nice. Erase every game thus far and start at square one: 2D with Sonic and Eggman and minimal story. Have that for a few years and then maybe add Tails. Few more years of that and then maybe add a story with short cutscenes, a very, VERY basic one. Maybe a year after that, try dialogue. Then voice acting. Then like the next game add Knuckles or Amy.

Basically just take it slow for a while and make sure you have everything down before adding anything new. 3D should be something only attempted again after maybe 10-15 years

I don;t think Sonic Team themselves are interested in doing a "proper" 2D Sonic game, The last one they did was either Sonic 3&K or Chaotix depending on how you'd define how much they worked on the latter, every other 2D game has been outsourced.

not cool, that's four times effective

While I AM enjoying the reboot so far, I think the worst part is that they can't exactly "redo" what has already happened unless they massively tweak some events. This is somewhat good because they aren't bogged down by the billions of plot threads from the old continuity, but bad because some of the few character threads in the old continuity were actually really good and they can't really repeat them exactly.

I feel like they've done a reasonably good job with characters like Nicole and Mighty (where their characterization is changed to be different enough to be fresh, but is still the same at its core), but at the same time I do miss little things like Omega's old origin story (and attraction to Blaze), Mighty's relationship with his sister, and the fact that as a Silverfag, Silver had a number of important standalone roles where here the relevant things he did so far just ended up being tied into the awfulness that was Worlds Unite.

The new characters are quite nice though, and I think the more uniform art style and character designs help a lot, too. Gold, Relic, Razor, and Thunderbolt all feel like they fit very well into the Sonic Universe, I could easily imagine those characters in the games, whereas I don't think I could have said the same for a number of the characters established before.


not like it matters how people like me anyway, if this comic is truly getting canceled

>>169221672

Omega's attraction to Blaze was probably gotten rid of due to mandate, not due to legalities preventing them from having it again (especially since both Omega and Blaze have only been used since after Ian came on board as a writer). It's still joked about on the Valentines variant covers.

I don't think Omega and Blaze have been in the same story yet post-reboot so we can't say for sure it's gone.

>>169223212

Since SEGA clamped down on it after the last story Omega and Blaze were in together, it will be.

So why the hell did Sega start clamping their jaws around the comic after the reset? Was it just them realizing after the messier arcs pre-reboot that there needed to be more control?

What exactly ARE the limitations? Only thing I know is that apparently, any official video game characters can't have biological relatives, which is why Uncle Chuck isn't an uncle anymore.

>>169224814
Limitations to the comic
>No relatives to any game member who hasn't been forgotten by Sega
>Sonic is not allowed to bawl his eyes out
He can be upset, he can show emotions, he can feel sad, but crying outright out of sadness isn't one of them
>No using Sonic X, Underground or OVA in any way, shape or form. AoStH is used sparingly and Boom was in the crossover.
>There can only be one Metal Sonic
Captain Metal hangs on through grit and determination and loopholes
>NO ROMANCES FOR GAME CHARACTERS
Flirt, sure, hint, kinda, outright passionate hedgehog hand-holding? Get outta here you sicko.
>Penders characters are not to be touched with a ten foot pole holy fucking christ

That's about the gist of it.

In short: game characters are basically off limits in terms of character development, backstory, relatives, etc. unless Sega doesn't give a shit about said character i.e. Wendy.

>>169225551
I'm about fine with all of these, with the exception of "no relatives for game characters" and "no romances"

I'm just afraid this'll make the Archie exclusives a lot more fleshed out (hell they already are so) and shrink characters like Sonic and Tails down to two dimensions.

Ew.

>>169224814
>So why the hell did Sega start clamping their jaws around the comic after the reset?
Two things:
1) They actually started clamping their jaws sometime around when Ian was first hired. There are examples going back as far as #166 of things being changed because Sega said no (in that case, how much Sonic was allowed to cry) as well as the comic world gradually becoming more and more like the game world (Great Harmony, non-game Supers no longer showing up, Charmy becoming a mental kid, Angel Island getting the Adventure 1 emerald shrine, etc.) as well as romances and family connections being downplayed for non-game characters, with the exception of Sonic/Sally being eventually grandfathered in (and notice how all of the relationship work was done by comic characters, Sally and Monkey Khan, with Sonic doing pretty much nothing).

2) Reboot gave them an excuse to put their foot down and give a hard "no grandfather clauses allowed" mandate. As for the mandates themselves, here's a list of them, although some have been relaxed since the reboot started, such as not being allowed to use "classic-era" to show that characters are younger, and not being allowed to use material from Battle.

Ok, taking the mick out of the weirder denizens of /sthg/ isn't all it's cracked up to be, I'll help you out man.

It's hard to make yourself stand out using a template off of a dating website. Girls have the same problem with it.
So what you do, get your best picture, state things about you that you like doing actively for instance. Say some clubs you joined, say how you like animals if you do, something that makes you out not to be a basement dweller. Say you like reading books of some sort if you do, mention games briefly among your other interests but don't dwell on it.

And because you're a man in a woman's world online, make the first move. Say how you like their specific interest or some shit, don't be afraid of rejection, because it will happen, just hang in there man, you only need to get lucky once.

On top of this, don't put yourself down. For the love of god. They ain't perfect, you ain't perfect, don't pretend you are, but highlight more good than bad.

"I find it hard in loud social places" might be true and you might feel you need to point that out but you can say it better with "I much prefer smaller company as I can relax and talk easier" or some shit. Learn how to say bad stuff as a good reflection on you.

And I guess you just have to accept that even with all that you might still come off as boring, but most of us are. Still make it you, and if you really want to, add Sonic into the dating resume. Just don't tell her you sperg out on a Taiwanese Spiritual Guidance Chat-show about a 25 year old game series, just tell them you like gaming and that you played the games as a kid, you'd be surprised at how many people think that as a "Aww, I remember playing that game as a kid" outside of 4chan and youtube.

Anyway, you don't have to listen to this, not much coming from a guy who's too scared to practice what he preaches, who's against dating websites as a whole. Just don't give up man, the fact you're trying is a step in the right direction.

ANYWAY KNUCKLES IS MY FAVOURITE SONIC GUARDIAN OF THE FIRE FLOWER AMIRITE.

They're a meme but certain people can pull them off, though the only people I've seen wear them that aren't memelords are usually 50+ years old. If you don't want to meme, get a nice brown trilby.

>>169233476
They're bad when paired up with casual clothes, they just don't match the rest of the outfit, and standing out like that makes them look bad. It also doesn't help that a lot of the people that wear those kinds of hats with casual clothes call them the wrong name. Just makes them seem stupid and makes the hat seem stupid by association.

Say all of the main Freedom Fighters from Archie's comics (Antoine, Sally, Bunnie, Nicole, Rotor) appeared in the games.

Stopped reading. The franchise would be dead to me now that the main games would be infected with inane drama bullshit

Before you wear one, ask yourself the following questions.
>Am I over 80?
>Am I appearing in a film about the 1920's
>Was I born with David Coulthard's Chin?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then sure.

Fedora's aren't in themselves bad hats, but not only are they dated now, but are near synonymous with autism and IRL people will just consider you a bit odd.

If you have to wear a hat in this day and age, just make it a comfortable beanie or something. And by beanie I don't mean wear it like Link's hat because people who do that should be shot the hipster bastards.

I'm proposing a what-if. I'm simply asking what voices you would have for the characters if they had voiced roles.

>>169235112
then their cartoon voices, I guess. Even if SatAM was fairly dull

>>169234395
I'd rather them just have a spin-off taking place in the comic universe so there's no complication. A cameo would be nice, though.

>>169234395
I'd like Bunnie and Ant's voices to be a bit lower and smoother, maybe with actors with natual accents. Sally and Nicole would be nicer with slightly lighter voices. I always liked Rotor's voice the way it was.

fashion and dating advice

The comics characters like Sally have nothing to do with the games and should've never existed

>>169236254
I honestly don't want them in not just because we've already have a huge set of characters, but the games (Pontaff, mainly) will fucked their personalities in the reboot over.

>>169237985
At least you have boobs, Amy.

I want to bring back Kath Soucie as Vanilla

Cute

Jealous Amy is cute.

I can't tell if this guy draws well or not. Some of them look good but the rest start to droop into uncanny valley.

>>169239153
It's his fetish getting in the way of him making pretty good art.

I don't even have to watch this to know it's probably cringe

>>169241805
I've watched it several times because it's the awesomest thing I've ever seen.

>awesomest

watching a video on the Secret Rings multiplayer and it's like a whole other game. like another sonic shuffle. certainly not a bad thing.

>>169242737
I kind of wish Sonic would do more spin-off games like Mario, just only so I can get to play as my favorite characters without Sega having to worry about making the characters relevant like in the main games.

>>169240250
Why's she fat?

>>169243312
Outside of the Olympic games and mobile shit, I think Racing Transformed may have been the last spin-off we've.

>>169243398
Fetish.

>Liking Sally AND fat fucks
Some people have the worst taste.

To be fair, her pre-boot design was, uh...

>>169243674
I'm suprised Eric didn't put a Portal reference in that off-panel.

>>169243619
>implying Sally isn't best girl
Eat dicks, fag.

>>169242607
It's the mostest bestest wayest pastest coolest video I've ever seen

>>169243674
Disgusting.

>>169243847
That design doesn't look fat to me.

>>169244171

Pick one.

Read the filename you dingle

>>169242737
I had a lot of fun with Secret Rings' multiplayer stuff. It was surprisingly okay. It felt kind of tacked on though, which is understandable I guess. It felt more fun than Mario Party 8 and the rest of the Mario Party minigame party games the Wii was full of at the time.

>>169243312
Me too but I don't think Sega has the budget for Sonic spin-offs anymore, aside from the All Star Racing games. They probably don't want to take any risks. Mainline Sonic games and ASR are very safe for them.

I'd kill for a classic Paper Mario-esque Sonic RPG, or even a Sonic/Mario Party since the regular Mario Party games became garbage after 8 (and even 8 was mediocre). Maybe throwing more characters at the series will fix somehow fix it somehow.

>>169244480
Well, I guess I'm a dingle.

>>169244432
Yeah, that's the point, she was very fappable in the past.

This. They'd fuck Antoine and Nicole especially hard
>>169236254
Having adaptations create new characters isn't really a bad thing DESU.

>>169244596
How would Paper Sonic work? Genuinely curious here since I feel a M&L RPG would be better.

Also,
>Party boards and minigames based off of levels of any past Sonic games.
Want.

>>169244432
I'll pick both because it's true. Not my problem if you're gay/irish.

>>169217450
Okay, this is really cute as fuck.

Autistic Question of the Day:

Would Modern Knuckles see Boom Knuckles not as a parallel, but as a younger, more naive version of himself?

>>169245705
The huge size difference means that you're really autistic for thinking that would happen.

>>169245686
I really like the way they draw them.

>>169245705
BKnuckles and BAmy are completely different from their main canon counterparts. Sonic, Tails and Eggman are much closer.
