Why people love sonic?
| So people from 20-40 joins your "edgy teens" category?
| The thing is that there is a Sonic fanbase, and then every game has its own fanbase and its haters.
For people who never played action videogames are hard games, it takes time to dominate the game even to the more hardcore players in other games of the same franchise (Sonic 4), but it's always fun and makes you satisfact when you complete there where for hours. You could say its like a rythm game, cause if you fail one step you have to start over or live with the consequence
| But as newer video games become easier, so happens to Sonic games, making these games no point to have life systems, and that was something important for Sonic Heroes for example.
The art of Sonic games is awesome, level design, concept and settin is unique presented with unique mecanics that won't repeat in the same level neither in others. This combined with the usual music makes these levels more enjoyable
| Because Gotta go Fast M0#TH3R F#$k3r
| Kids who owned a Nintendo = loving family, Sega Genesis = wife-beating family. Kids played Sonic during the trauma then developed a fetish. But seriously all of the old designs were really cool.
| It's just a solid platformer series. The 2D ones that is. Of the 3D ones I'd say only Sonic Adventure 2 really worked.
But it's just because it's a good, fun platformer. When it comes to the "edgy" stuff, that only appeared in the 3D games. That's when they introduced Shadow the Hedgehog aka Emo Jesus. That's also when they gave all the characters their personalities, which aren't the greatest.
For the people who have like Sonic fetishes and shit, it's just an extension of furry.
| The people who love it are the people who started with the original Mega Drive titles, the people who still call the main villain Dr. Robotnik.
| Same reason why people like Mario.
| Amy Rose and Big the Cat ruined Sonic Adventure. It only got worse from there.

+ The bad writing in general, and kind of slow levels, even though Sonic should be about speed. They have Chao Garden though, so I'll forgive them.
| 2D Sonics are fun and have a nice, satisfying flow to them. The type of platforming that 2D Sonic offers is rare, since most platformers take after Mario, Megaman, or Castlvania.
If you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about without playing Sonic, then try Freedom Planet or Spark the Electric Jester.
| Well i don't so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
| I love this threads answers.
Thanks!

If I remember correctly I never finished the game. I played like half of one campaign and the I just played Chao Garden.
| Cuz they furry scum
| Because they refuse to let good things die. And enjoy parading a corpse around pretending it's the good old days.

Sonic Mania is arguably the best Sonic game ever, and we probably have all the Sonic fetishisers to thank for that. So it might have been a good thing that they didn't let it die.

Nah, the folks over at Sonic Retro are more than a bit different than the turbo autists that frequent deviantart whom people associate with the Sonic Fanbase.
| Modern Sonic games should be Open World games, they really lose a lot of potential in level-design (Sonic Forces is beatiful, but like the song says, when you are Super Sonic Racing, there's no time to look around). Open World or Sandbox Sonic game would let us play a lot more, and explore, while keeping the speed if you need to.
Also it is demostrated that anyone that is not Sonic Team knows how to do a good Sonic game. Give it to Nintendo (except we would get exclusivity)
| O wait Big Red Button doesn't count, not anyone can do it even if you have Naughty Dogs developers in your game.
| It's just as addictive as the drug 'speed' because...... GOTTA GO FAST!

| isn't it just mid-tier platformer for kids and edgy teens? Or there's interesting story and gameplay is much more complex than it seems?
