These two games, while not good...

These two games, while not good, really nailed everything when it comes to tone and characterization for Sonic and a Sonic story. Why did it have to change immediately after this?

>Sonic
>Story
Pick one and only one.

Nah, fuck you. I can enjoy a story with a game. Shovel Knight and Sonic 3 & Knuckles being good examples.

Because SEGA realized how stupid they were for catering to autists such as yourself.

Probably because most of the west kept laughing at Sega's attempts at storytelling, so they decided to hire western writers in hope of it helping Sonic's reputation in terms of writing.

Looks like they kinda succeeded, since most of the writing in Sonic games is still pretty bad, but nobody really complains or makes fun of it to the same extent as they did before.

I don't think the story has anything to do with a game's qualities.

Sonic Colors is good even if the writing is trash. Sonic Black Knight and Unleashed are trash despite the writing being decent to good, at least in terms of Sonic.

Adventure-06 was trash at both

These games both had cringey trash writing and only a deviantart OC posting autist would ever think the stories were of any merit.

Stop samefagging your own shitty thread and fuck off back to furaffinity.

Not a fun guy, are you?

>Sonic Black Knight and Unleashed are trash despite the writing being decent to good, at least in terms of Sonic.
I hope you realize that the writing being good "in terms of Sonic" doesn't mean very much.

I know, but people are into the writing in stuff like Shantae or Kirby, and these games aren't too far off from that.

>Unleashed
>bad

The only outright awful part of the game was medal grinding.

Only an autist would actually like this cringefest.

I think the main difference for those franchises is that the writing still has a twinge of self-awareness to it, so where certain situation and lines of dialogue still come off as lame, it's a fun kind of lame where you're essentially laughing with the creators about the absurdity of something like Kirby, a pink puffball, fighting off an eldritch abomination in some anime-esque grand finale.

Sonic, before Colors at least, never featured this kind of self-awareness. Most of the situations and dialogue found in Sonic games were expected to be taken completely seriously, no matter how ridiculous or badly written they were. As a result, Sonic doesn't really have any moments where you can laugh with the creators in regard to how campy or over the top a moment may be, it just has moments where people laugh AT the creators because they thought for some reason Sonic turning into a Dragon Ball Z ripoff for the umpteenth time is legitimately supposed to be cool for some reason, and that's not fun, it's just sad.

Present an actual argument instead of acting buttblasted, user.

Those game are good because they have stories that are shown not told unlike the autism showfest that are OP's pic

Sonic Unleashed had an awful story because Chip is an annoying faggot

>Unleashed's entire OST
>fucking Arid Sands - Night

I felt really depressed whenever i tried to play unleashed on the ps2. The only good Sonic games were on the Genesis, 1 being the best.

>PS2

well there's your problem

>Unleashed
>not good

>somic unleashed
>not good

Fuck you guys, aside the controls I liked Black Knight. Final boss theme is still GOTY.

The fuck are you talking about? Unleashed is still one of the best modern Sonic games. Even the werehog was fun once you maxed him out.

lizuka decided that sonic wasn't funny or appealing to the west enough so they hired shitty new western writers.

Well half truth, they did get the people who made happy tree friends to write colors but I don;t know if they kept them after that.

Sonic Unleashed is one of the best games ever made you faggot. 8 years later and I still come back to it every week playing a mixture of day, night, and boss levels as well as messing around in the hubs. Its a timeless classic and only shitters who are mad they have to play games to progress rather than pay like on their phone games shit talk it.

Pontac and Graff wrote for Colors, Gens, Lost World, and Boom: Fire and Ice. We don't know if they're on 2017 yet hopefully not.

>nailed everything when it comes to tone and characterization

Sega realized they didn't have to bother (and most people don't really care about plot in their platformers)
