Why is his franchise completely immune to any kind of failure?
>>744617589>made on a shoestring budget>designs easily get autists and children obsessed>merch does the heavy liftingIt's a brainworm like Pokemon, SEGA sorta attained the dream of getting away with selling trash.
>SegaSonic the Hedgehog>Sega Saturn>Sonic OVA>Sonic Boom>Team Sonic Racing>Sonic Free Riders>Sonic 4>Sonic Runners>Sonic Olympic Games
>>744617589Merchandise.
>>744617589I have no idea
>>744617589Because your definition of failure is different than theirs.
>>744617865The 2010s era scared all the autists away.
>>744617589Half of it is:>>744617865But the other half is that people exaggerate a lot. At some point it became a meme to shit on Sonic as if it was all garbage, yet most mainline games are at worst decent. People nowadays would have you convinced games like Sonic Heroes, Lost World or Unleashed are complete garbage when they're just ok games, nothing special but not bad either. If it was all truly bad it would have died like Bubsy, recent revival aside.>>744618986Autists haven't gone anywhere. Go to any Sonic discussion and it's hard to get people to talk about gameplay instead of comics and plot autism.
>hasn't had a good game in decades>"immune to failure"
>>744619058The autists obsessed with plot and characters left when the 2010s removed everyone except Sonic, Tails, and Eggman and flanderized them.
>>744617589Sega has a very dedicated community of fans/schizos that are very persistent, some of whcih are extremely talented (fangames, art, etc). I don't understand why Sega out of all people but eh
>>744619238Sonic is like Pokemon in that the games don't matter. Merchandise, cartoons, comics, and movies carry the franchise.Even the president of Sega admitted that the movies are the only reason Sonic is doing good right now.
>>744619471Go to any Sonic discussion in this very website. Try /vg/ for example. Go to r/sonicthehedgehog
Sonic is way past cool
>>744617589>
It's not "immune," it just rebounds too fast to feel the impacts of it.
>>744620953what sucks about this is that a Sonic RPG could totally work
>>744617589Autism + hot girls.
>>744622057the girls are half the appeal for me too
>>744619632>Merchandiselol. Tell that to Lego cancelling future Sonic sets. Must not be doing that good if Legofags and children aren't buying them.
>>744621503I was kind of pissed that game isn't on the steam store. I'm not going to chase down an old handheld to play a Sonic RPG, but I would like to play a Sonic RPG. I enjoyed Sonic battle where you were taking moves from other characters.They (The IP owner) can do it. If you can make us play a slow ass werewolf you can let us play a slow ass fully realized RPG
>>744617589Because Sonic fans actually like the series and know how to support it
>>744619238…and yet the franchise is more profitable and popular than ever.
Its fanbase is used to failing in life.
>>744618986It did nothing of the sort. They just proceeded to complain while consuming. Nothing new for the Sonic fanbase, really.
>>744617589You can't fail when you are the avatar of fucking up.
Sonic is kept alive by furries and black teenagers at this point.
I've noticed lately that there aren't mamy sonic threads being made anymore by sonicfags. What happened?
>>744623808jannies hate them
>>744623808I saw like six of them yesterday, maybe you just catch them at bad hours
>>744617589Computer, generate him pregnant with Donkey Kong hugging him from behind
Honestly, Sonic is a rapeable little slut that provokes lust
>>744617589idk man the games seem pretty cheap
>>744627554jap girls unironically say this btw
>>744618379;)
>>744627592Well, yeah. Sonic has been barely disguised fetish content ever since he appeared visibly pregnant on the cover of Sonic 3: The Hedgehog.
