WTF, how much more can they ruin Sonic?

[OB1]

Ask yourself this: If Nintendo were to make a "mature" Mario game where was made up all gangster-like, would you care?

I think you would. Very much so. Yes Sonic has always been edgier than Mario, but not like this.

Do you have any little nephews or nieces that like to play video games? I have a little nephew that's obsessed with Sonic, and he especially loves the Shadow character. But I'll be damned if I let him play this new game. I'm not blaming games for making people do stupid things, that's where the parent's responsibility lies. It's just a shame that I won't be able to show him this new Sonic game. None of us really care about these characters, but little kids do, just like we used to love this stuff when we were little. And when you take something like Shadow that appeals as a character, MAINLY to kids, and put a realistic gun into his hands... that's just wrong. Wronger than even that dumb-looking new "Loonatics" thing. At least they look nothing like the old characters.

I think this is even worse than what they did to PoP. I despise this trend in gaming. I really do.
