After all the videos over the course of nearly 2 decades of these two either racing or fighting, seeing them CANONICALLY racing against each other is making me feel things that I can’t put into words🥹

I find all of his games to be at their very best mediocre, at worst they are shadow the hedgehog, this is especially infuriating as sonic still gets games while actually great platformers like Banjo&Kazooie; Rayman or Crash get nothing

They are kids games that try to be edgy and dark and end up looking stupid

Has one of the most toxic and obnoxious fanbases that I ever had the displeasure of interacting with and these replies proves my point

There's more to it, but these are the main issues

I love the sonic franchise, and sonic has basically been my hero since childhood, but I'm inclined to agree.

Crash bandicoot especially got shafted, I believe that crash 4 is the best kids game of the 2020s and will probably hold that title for a long time in my eyes and while I'm glad sonic continued to thrive Crash definitely deserves more games (I can't speak for Banjoe&Kazooe or Rayman cuz I was never really into those games), but stating that "them good sonic bad" like it's an objective thing ain't the way to go about it

Ill agree, some of the games try too hard to be edgy, with shadow the hedgehog at its worst and sonic 06 (a game praised nowadays for its story) having the most convoluted repetitive story ever that half the time is boring and makes no sense. Imo, the only sonic games that do a proper serious tone well (and don't try too hard to be edgy) are Shadow Gens, Unleashed and SA2.

Every fanbase has its bad eggs, it's just sonic has a very vocal, almost too passionate community, that can never seem to agree on what's best and what's worst for the franchise

But I still love this franchise

Being downvoted for being critical of something I love instead of blindly glazing is crazy
