the thing about sonic 06 is that you think oh sonic kisses a human woman it must be on some crash bandicoot 90s shit. sonic the stud. but its so much crazier than that because its not horny even a little. its instead deeply sincere about what it means for sonic to be your summer boyfriend

you cant marry sonic. but you can take the memories of your whirlwind affair with sonic with you your whole life and let it make you a better person. this is genuinely the message of sonic 06

no one was on sonic team's level. from like 1998 to 2006 they did not know what shame was. and it was stupid. and it was beautiful. shadow the hedgehog died for the sins of man and then omega crucified him

Yeah I remember when Colors first came out and everyone was saying how great the writing was and I'm like, sure, if you're 3 years old lol Not that Sonic isn't a series for kids but it was never on that level before lol

going from the maekawa games to colours is like falling off your bike it’s fucked up

Idk I do actually kinda defend that aspect of Colours because I like that it brings back a lot of stuff that sort of got dropped from the series. I like that it centred back in on Sonic and Tails’ interactions and remembers the more environmentalist angle of the early games.

I can overlook a few bad jokes because the game has a genuine sense of whimsy to its atmosphere that I can’t help but find infectious. And the same applies to Generations. Unfortunately I think that kinda wears off by Lost World and it’s where the issues get too glaring to ignore.

i havent played Sonic & the Black Knight but the stuff ive seen of the story bits (his last credits writing a Sonic game) are fucking incredible. and i understand Sonic X gets really good as well. i <3 Ian Flynn and his ascendance but Maekawa deserves far, far more credit as a writer for the series
