Arguing about Modern Sonic is half the fun to me. Classic Sonic: win. Modern Sonic: crap.

But hear me out. Modern Sonic himself is awesome. His games and lots of his new friends, on the other hand... He's had a few good moments since his '06 game, though. Sonic Unleashed wasn't bad but wasn't great either, but if they had tried a little harder with the story development and stuff, the game would've had a better reputation. And Sonic Generations was great. The moment I touched that game I felt good about Sonic again. There were a few stupid things in SG, but overall, it was an amazing turn for him. The Sonic CD rerelease has made many people happy and I'm starting to wonder if Sonic is starting to actually get his feet back on the correct path again. Sonic 4 Ep 2 honestly doesn't look bad at all right now, and it seems they're really listening to their fans and making sure this one is crap like the last one was. Of course, I thought Sonic 4 Ep 1 didn't look bad at all either... and of course, I was wrong. It was horrible, and I was once again disappointed. I honestly think I was about to give up on even thinking that Sonic was ever going to get better, but then there was Sonic Generations, and I'm starting to regain some hope again.

I actually became a fan of Sonic back in '08 when I owned SA2. At that time, though, I had never played any of his new stuff and only knew his old stuff. And because I played the older stuff first, that probably is a lot of the reason that I'm a Classic Sonic fan rather than Modern Sonic fan. But then I think about what I would've thought of Sonic if I started off playing the Modern Sonic games rather than the Classic and Dreamcast Sonic games.
