On Hypocrisy and Slime.

As a semi continuation of my previous post, I present you with the following statement; The Sonic fan base is a bunch of self serving hypocrites that need to be dropped into a river of bio slime.

One river of slime. Enjoy.

Perhaps I should actually make some effort to explain. Now, the Sonic Fanbase are a very hard to please lot, it's widely known. The only thing they tend to agree on is that Sonic '06 sucked hard. So why are they hypocrites? Simple. A vast majority of them are known to be very critical of the use of bottomless pits in more recent Sonic Games. For example, I would say things started to get out of hand after Sonic Adventure 2, while others would say anything past Sonic & Knuckles should never have been made. Nonetheless, they are a problem in the more recent games as they are used as a very cheap way of adding challenge to the game. Now, why does this make Sonic Fans hypocrites? Well, you're familiar with the phrase "think you can do better," correct? Well, let's put that into application, shall we? I'm talking hacks. The sublime Megamix hacks aside, most all of the level edits available for Sonic 1 & 2 are designed with frustrating amounts of bottomless pits. Granted, they are meant to be harder than the original game, but blind jumping onto a moving platform that's as wide as Sonic is? Give me a break...

The S Factor. It's got it.

Although, there are games besides Megamix which do it right. S Factor being a good example - That game is damned hard, but not because there's a massive bottomless pit in Act 2 of the first zone. It's the boss I can't kill and for me, that's the way it should be. Also, speed shoes music is made of awesome and win. End of story.

And that, ladies and gents, is why Sonic Fans need to be dropped in a river of hate - inducing slime. It'll do them some good.
