What was the reaction to Shadow in 2001? Was he really intended to never return after Sonic Adventure 2?
>>750296492He caused billions of autists
>>750296492They made the game even shittier than it already was because people demanded he be playable.
>>750296492I did my best to avoid playing the bad-guy levels in front of my younger brothers. I thought I'd be setting a bad example if they saw.
Fly in the freedom
>>750296492The GREATEST character Sega ever created, and a fucking hero.
>>750296824Somewhat related but my mom saw me playing Sonic Heroes once, and she got upset over Vector spitting fire. I think her mindset was that the game was teaching kids like me that playing with fire is fun.
>>750297216My mom didn't want me buying Mario with my allowance money. She thought Mario was squishing people to death for a solid year.Looking back on it, she was ahead of the curve on the Newgrounds-type 'lmao Mario's doing drugs!' kind of humor.
>>750296492it was intriguing because you didn't know that much about him
>>750296492My dad was in his unit in the Gulf War and he said he was such a cunt.
The world was never the same after SA2
>>750296492>What was the reaction to Shadow in 2001?So popular they brought him back to life and gave him his own game. The last character to get his own spin off.>Was he really intended to never return after Sonic Adventure 2?Surely you don't think they intentionally spent 10 minutes in the credits giving his character a pseudo funeral, just to purposely undo it in the next entry.
>>750298290I forget SA2 was also Rouge's first appearance. Like it wasn't enough to have a hedgehog OC, they needed a bat with huge tits as well
>>750296492SA2 shadow was coolAfter that they went full edge with him and he became cringe.
>>750296492He was one of the coolest videogame characters at that time
>never even ATTEMPTED to stop the moon bustingShe was never really on our side, was she?
>>750298813Idk. He's just as cool in 06.But in Shadow the Hedgehog it's corny, and in later games it feels too self-conscious, but they're not written by Shiro Maekawa so that explains everything.
>>750298941She kind of just gives up when it starts to happen. I'm pretty sure she was going to double cross the president for the emeralds too. She has one thing on her mind.
>>750296597Fakest shit ever, this is a lie, him, Tails and Rouge were always intended to be playable, their levels and bosses were just worked on later, you don't shit out almost half of a game and their related story cutscenes at the last minute.
Clearly Sonic Team drastically overestimated their writing capabilities. Every time their characters open their mouths to say stuff, beginning with the Dreamcast, something retarded and cringe comes out.
every character in Sonic that has ever opened its mouth has been ruinedthey just can't write for shit it's honestly amazing they can't land just 1 good character
>>750301539I mean the game is for 8 year olds
>>750299828I don't give a flying fuck what anyone says, this moment right here was absolute kino.
>>750301595That's just an excuse people use for everything in those games' dialogue being retarded
What did the writer of Sonic Adventure 2 and creator of Shadow the Hedgehog and Maria Robotnik, Shiro Maekawa, mean by this?
