Message: [QUOTE="trickybus, post: 249406, member: 239542"] I've posted this already in the NiGHTS thread but I'll post it again because it bears repeating: Sonic Team writing is terrible. I don't know why they insist on doing it over and over again. It doesn't improve. Unlike the games, the plots were always a shitshow. This IP has become unrecognizable. I jumped off the speeding train at [I]Brotherhood[B], [/B][/I]but I still remember how much I liked the first entry and how much of an improvement the sequel was. The development team knew what they were doing; they were going in the right direction for almost everything. What the hell happened? And video games are an art form. It doesn't matter what the media format is: greed destroys art. Waving it off as "it's just business" is exactly the kind of defeatist mentality corpos want from their customer base. Don't think; just buy. I'll readily admit that I'm selfish and I want to retain the version of MH that attracted me in the first place. I don't [I]want[/I] to share my toys if that means I have to watch them deteriorate because the new kids couldn't care less about a niche IP that lacks mass appeal. I don't care if the stuff I like isn't popular; in fact, I've gotten to the point where I prefer that they [B]aren't[/B] popular because popularity is what ultimately pushes corporations to bend a beautiful thing out-of-shape so that the lowest common denominator can have yet another thing to mindlessly consume. As if they don't already have enough. [/QUOTE]
