 Can't at least some Sonic fans try to be patient and optimistic?!?


Like the title suggests, can't at least some Sonic fans try to be patient and optimistic?  I have a video that people who at least some Sonic fans should watch on YouTube, but be warned because it has some coarse language:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6UwhoqksA.  OK, sure, I love at least some Sonic the Hedgehog games; I never really made that clear in previous posts, but I really do.  I'm pretty sure that most of the games I play involve Sonic in at least one way!

But I'm not going to throw a temper tantrum like a 2-year-old if I don't get a Sonic game this year.  That's just stupid!  There are other games of other franchises that other people can play, and in case some people didn't see the first post, I'll list a few games or game franchises that you can play from that aren't Sonic:
1.  The Mega Man franchise,
2.  Mario games,
3.  "Freedom Planet," 
4.  "Shovel Knight,"
5.  "Fur Fighters," and
6.  "Earthworm Jim!"

There you go; that's 5 franchises and 1 game listed ("Freedom Planet" and "Shovel Knight" will get a sequel and while there are no more Earthworm Jim games, it is a franchise)!  And there's probably plenty more that I have not even listed!  And there's more to life than just playing video games!  Why not read a book, write a blog, or do something else like sudoku puzzles?!?

You can't just depend on video games to survive.  Now, I'm not saying that it's bad to play video games, but they won't feed you or make you your meals!  Either you or someone else has to make your food; the video games can't make your food for you.  You also need to sleep.

If at least some Sonic fans were only complaining about possibly not getting a Sonic game this year, then I wouldn't be so upset.  But apparently, Sonic fans are still up in arms against each other about what games they prefer!  What is the Sonic fan-base:  a bunch of 5-year-olds?!?  Sonic fans, shake hands and get along!

Sure, I love "Sonic Adventure 2," but I don't hate people who hate it; that's their choice.  You need to give people respect when they don't like the things you do.  Acknowledge that people won’t have the same tastes as you.  And even acknowledge that the things you love aren’t perfect and are flawed.

For example, I love “Mega Man X” as a game, but I know that it has problems!  Some bosses are too hard to beat without the dash upgrade that you would find in Chill Penguin’s stage in that game and at least some items you can collect require you to use the dash upgrade!  I still think that “Mega Man X” is perfectly fine as a game, but it still had some problems.  The question for a video game we need to answer is:  does this game do more good things than bad things?

For “Mega Man X,” I can say yes and have a great time with it😀.  And I can acknowledge that people might not like it, which is fine.  Every video game will have it’s stumbling blocks that some people will be willing to push through while others might rage-quit.  Anyway, let’s try to be optimistic in terms of Sonic games.  I think the bad writing of stories should be gone and I think that games should at least be decent in Sonic again.
