When will people accept the fact that something like Sonic inherently CANNOT work as a serious story? Hard to take a story about anthropomorphic animals with one-note characterisation and goofy designs tackling world ending cataclysms seriously, unless you have the mental age of an eight year old. It lacks ANY kind of self awareness that could potentially make it endearing. I just think that if you're going to have them be the centre of these huge global conflicts you can't play it entirely straight and expect anyone to not think it's fucking retarded. It doesn't do drama well, it doesn't do self parody well, it doesn't have any charm to it. Any way you try and spin the intent of the story the writing misses the mark.

It went from minimal story to extreme melodrama told with a straight face, and it's unintentionally hilarious. There's a reason we have memes like "Coldsteel the Hedgehog", it's because it's so easy to make fun of because of how bad it is. I don't know how people forget that.

Didn't read lol I still like SA2's story

SA2 works a singular serious exception in an otherwise lighthearted platforms series. I don't want more games like SA2 (other than the Chao Garden), but it was fun to see them try and make something serious just one time.
>>
>>736120269
It doesn't work actually. The voice acting is godawful and the presentation is awful. There's nothing redeeming about it.
>>
>>736119841
I guess that's why Shadow is the second most popular character and is right on the coattails of Sonic.
>>
>>736120961
Because Sonic fans are known for their amazing taste.

>There's a reason we have memes like "Coldsteel the Hedgehog",

Those memes were created because of Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow the Hedgehog was arguably more edgy than any of Sa2b with it even having cursing in it.
>>
>>736121067
No, it was created because of the litany of shitty Sonic fan OCs. It wasn't because of Shadow, you retard.
>>
>>736120838
I think the presentation was unique.

>>736120112
What's wrong with it?

>AI Overview
Sayonara (さようなら) is a formal
Japanese word for "goodbye" or "farewell," often implying a long-term separation or a final parting. While popular in Western culture, it is rarely used in daily Japanese conversation, as it can sound overly dramatic or heavy, similar to saying "farewell forever".

Too bad the voice acting and art direction is awful, which makes the scene laughable.

It's awful.

But SA2's story worked

>>736122271
It really doesn't. It's not thought out, it's full of plot holes, and none of it makes any sense. It's retarded.
>>
>>736119841
Just pretend that the cute animals are actually stand ins for aliens or some shit, you fucking retard. Just turn your brain off, it's a story made for a video game.

Okay so you made a thread talking about Sonic not working as a story because you wanted to ragebait sonic fans into clicking your thread and talking about sonic because you in fact really like sonic and wanna talk about it.

Why is 4chan like this now, why can't you niggers just make threads about things you enjoy instead of this pseudo hate to draw people in thing?
>>
>>736122309
Watching SA2's story is like eating ultra processed fast food, it's a mish mash of lots of good things to give you a rush of dopamine, but you shouldn't dwell on it. In this regard, SA2 is a masterpiece.
>>
>>736122521
It’ll hurt their feelings if they admit to liking something that someone else might make fun of them for enjoying.

This site is astroturfed, irony-poisoned, botted to hell, jeeted to hell, reactionary and only exists to be a playground for people to farm outrage so they can post screencaps or talk about it on social media or discord.

It can though, it worked in SA2.

>>736122521
/v/ is a dying board so any last gasps like this won't last forever. The amount its slowed down in the past year is insane.
>>
>>736119902
fibby pibby
OP in shambles
>>
>>736123584
It didn't really. The story is hilariously melodramatic and is full of plot holes. Why the fuck was Gun not in the other Sonic games before this if they all took place on earth?
>>
>>736119841
>lacks ANY kind of self awareness
Translation: I'm too much of an irony-poisoned insecure loser to enjoy anything that isn't a parody of itself.
>>
>>736123635
I mean on an objective level, the site is in its twilight years. PPH is down. Morale is lower than people working in some ghetto nigger shithole for pennies. There is maybe a handful of good threads every 3-6 months. You really have to ask yourself sometimes if you come here out of genuine interest and elation or destructive, habitual patterns.
>>
>>736125603
I've enjoyed other boards far more than /v/ for the last few years so yes I do have to say I come here out of a self-destructive habit, and /v/ won't recover for the reasons you mentioned.

Try making one and see how well that turns out for you. You’d be lucky if it got more than 10 posts and/or someone didn’t immediately call your taste shit or yelled at you to buy an ad
I hate it as much as you, but you can’t just throw your line in the lake and expect fish to bite. If you want your thread to be active, you gotta use bait

This is because /v/ culture has encouraged this kind of posting. If more people spurned the insincere garbage or dependance on pornspam then it wouldn't be an issue. In an ideal world threads that start with shit like "OH NO NO NO" or "what did she mean by this" and its some futa 3D image of Rosalina would get autosaged to death and the OP humiliated in the sameday. But remember you people ask for these kinds of threads...

>>736119902
If I was OP I'd shoot myself after this TRVTH NVKE
