User blog:Knowall/Shadow the Hedgehog... The game.

I wrote this a rant on my DA account, but I thought it would be good to let out some steam in here, too. Mostly because there's more interaction 'round here, especially in blogs, so I can have some talk with the people in here and see what are their opinions on the subject. This isn't mean to be offensive to anyone or anything, this is just expressing my opinion, so if you disagree with me, comment.

The following rant was taken from my "For the Sake of Argument" series deviation "One Thing I HATE About Sonic". Some lines were "bleeped" due to the wiki's rules, but the rest was kept fresh, I swear. Oh, and if you don't like rants, then don't read this blog, because there's lots of steaming in here. I was so angry at the day, I capitalized a ton of words just to get my point straight. And yeah, I used to have this game myself, otherwise I wouldn't have written this.

"First of all, why the heck is there SO MANY ENDINGS?? This "evil/good" thing is no stranger to my tastes, but they only gave me a total of at least 3 ENDINGS!!! How many endings are there in this game?? Oh yeah! ELEVEN!!!! ELEVEN FREAKING ENDINGS!!!! TEN OF WHICH ARE NON-CANON!!! Okay, maybe it was to increase the chances and see what kind of player you are, but WHY THE HECK WE NEED A NEUTRAL-HALF GOOD ENDING??? And yeah, we unlock every one of them, only to discover the game has only ONE TRUE ENDING!! WHAT'S THE POINT OF TEN MORE, THEN??

Second, REAL GUNS??? LIKE BULLET GUNS???? WHY??? It's a freaking hedgehog!!!!! The lasers are fine, really! BUT REAL GUNS??? THIS ISN'T DEVIL MAY CRY!!!!!

Third, and the most important of all... the swearing. Swearing... Swearing!! IN A SONIC GAME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Okay, let me calm down for a moment. Don't take me wrong, I DO swear. Everybody does. It's much like breathing, it's a part of everyday life. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD MAKE THESE CHARACTERS SWEAR!!!! I mean, THERE'S NO PURPOSE!!! NO PURPOSE!!!! AT ALL!!!! Was this just a trick to make the game sound a little more mature, or to reach older audiences?? BECAUSE IT FAILS!!!! If there's one thing I know about swearing is that it DOESN'T make the game or movie more mature, it only makes it more immature!! Every time I heard Shadow say "damn" whenever he got hit, I died a little inside. He's already a badass guy as he already is (see, I can do it too!), he doesn't need anymore help!! And what about that G.U.N. commander?? Everything he said in that game was "hell"!!!! Nothing else!!! It doesn't apply to the story, it's never mentioned!! It's a waste of time!!! Besides, in my opinion, at least, it is a WASTE of Jason Griffith's talents! First game where he voices Sonic and Shadow, and some idiot comes and tell him "Hey, say these words here so the game can get a little 'edgy'". WHY!?!?!? I feared that Shadow would shout "f***" between a conversation or something!! Swearing has to make sense!! It must be applied to ADULT games!!! The Sonic series is for all ages!! And you want them little toddlers to learn the words "da**" and "h***"?? Yeah!! It will make SUCH an impression in their school!!"

Well, now it's up to you to decide: did I overheat for no reason?? Did I get it right somewhere?? Whatever it is you wanna comment, be my guest and prove me wrong! Or right... Your call.
