Yeah yeah….

Kaze no Klonoa / MeltingComet

Why would Sonic Runners ever work as a Wii U/3DS game? The game’s mechanics, business model and overall quality fits something in the mobile market.

People like things related to Boom. The show is not only successful, people generally agree that it’s pretty good. The comics are given a thumbsup by many as well. Pretty sure Sega didn’t actually program the Boom games either. Boom likely won’t get a major game again after the first set bombed, so unless Sega decides to bring in all incarnations of Sonic together for another big anniversary title, I doubt it’ll be anything more than a cartoon and comic from now on.



Hogfather

Johnny just admit you’ve not played, read, watching anything related to Boom…



Johnny2071

I. NEVER. WILL.



Johnny2071

Actually, I read the first issue and saw the commercial. There.

And no, I didn’t buy it.

And if I think Sonic Boom sucks, then I have every right to say Sonic Boom sucks. But regardless, it wouldn’t change the fact that modern Sonic needs to return. Boom can’t have ALL the glory.



Hogfather

Oh goody… I love it when people wave the freedom of speech flag without fully thinking it through.

Yes you do have the right to say if you like something or do not. However considering you get a lot of stuff about the series wrong and most of your exaggerations about it such as your script here are so contradictory to even a genuine exaggeration.

It makes your argument look totally foolish and silly since you just come across as the guy who wants to dislike something just because you either have nothing else to say, or because your under the mindset that you think it’s cool to be the guy who dislikes something.

If you had some actual genuine points as to why you disliked it and actually had some genuine reasons with backed up evidence as to why, maybe your arguments wouldn’t be so see through, only it’s so painfully obvious whenever someone reads your stuff that you have absolutely no insight into the show, or the cartoon or the game that you just come across as… well… for lack of a better phrase, a bit daft and silly.

In fact as I write this, I’m now wondering why we should let you continue to do this since it’s starting to verge onto deliberately trolling considering how you constantly go on about why ‘Boom sucks’ yet have just openly admitted that you have only read 1 issue of the comic. Yet I see you constantly commenting on the show, the game and the comic book which is now well after issue 1.



Johnny2071

Is Amy not the leader/team mom?



TheBlackHoodedGamer

Why is this always about Amy?



Proto

*sigh*

If you’ve only read one issue of the Sonic Boom comic, then your opinion, as much as you have every right to have it, doesn’t stand much ground on its own. You’re trying to convince people that you’re right about Boom, how it’s incredibly shitty and that no one should waste their time on anything involving it, but when your experience with Boom is literally one issue of the comic, and nothing more, you’re not going to change anyone’s mind. At this point, you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing. You don’t like Boom. Good. Fine. Your opinion. You don’t have to watch the show or read more of the comic. You can choose not to be involved with the Boom series whatsoever.

But don’t try to insult people that do like Boom. Whether they like the comic, cartoon, or hell, even the video games, that’s their opinion. An opinion they have every right to have, just as you have every right to your opinion on the series. But when you insult others for their opinions, you’re just being an asshole, and honestly, don’t deserve respect from others.

Johnny, I see you responding to a heap of messages on anything related to Sonic Boom, and pretty much every single one has you being so damn butthurt about Boom, that we can see your ass bleeding from across the internet. Know when to fold ’em, man. Comments are a place for discussion, and when you have such little experience with anything Sonic Boom, you don’t have anything to discuss. If you’re not going to give the show, or more of the comic a try, then just don’t comment on Boom stuff. You’ll get another main-series Sonic game. I feel at least one more coming out in the next year.



Johnny2071

That quite hypocritical. You don’t think that saying “I don’t deserve respect” isn’t disrespectful?

And when have I insulted anyone on this page. I may get angry at people, but I don’t insult them. I save all of that for Boom.



Proto

Let me see…

“Sonic-fresh-new-series-that-people-think-they-like”

Yeah, pretty sure that’s an insult. It’s saying that people that actually like Boom clearly have no idea what’s actually enjoyable, and are just lying to themselves by saying they like it. That’s insulting. Someone also told you to respect that people like the series, even though you don’t. And you said “Don’t tell me what to do with my life.” You’re pretty much saying that you want to respond to everyone that likes Boom, telling them “Oh, no, you’re wrong, it sucks, you have no taste. Go play an actual Sonic game.” You really have no good reason to be angry with people. If you get angry because someone likes Sonic Boom, you got anger issues, pal. You might need to see a professional about that.

How is it hypocritical that I said you don’t deserve respect. That pretty much means that I’m being disrespectful toward you. Why should I be respectful of someone that doesn’t deserve my respect? Anyway, I noticed how that those two were the only parts of my response that you picked out. You do that with any detailed response calling you out on your shit. You have so much shit to say about Boom and the people that like it, but the moment someone calls you out on your shit, you only pay attention to one thing you might think you could use to “break down someone’s argument,” or some other stupid thing along those lines. So unless you plan on making a response that’ll actually be worth discussing, you’re nothing more than a waste of everyone’s time. You’re like a broken record, repeating how you hate Boom over and over again in each of your comments. And like anything broken, if it doesn’t get fixed, it deserves to be tossed out.



Johnny2071

Are you quite done now. Are you satisfied?



Proto

As I expected, you have no points to make a proper discussion. In that case, I am indeed finished. Thank you for proving me right.



kamifox1

You mean the fresh-new-series-people-genuinely-like-and-will-throw-money-at-just-like-fans-of-the-main-series?



Zero the Assassin

Have you nothing better to say? You’re always doing this, just hating blindly on Boom.
Can someone please get him to understand that Boom is just a series that’ll help to expand the franchise?



kamifox1

I already reasoned with him at the bottom, there’s no reason to keep responding to him on this article now.



kamifox1

Further down, in fact, not at the bottom. Thought it was further down than it is.



Zero the Assassin

Thank you for trying to reason with him, although you’re not a mod.
It might not completely stop him, but at least he will stop for now.

Johnny2071

Or they can f** k Boom and give us a modern Sonic console game.

Sonic Boom has received enough attention, and we haven’t received any new Sonic console games since Lost World (2013).

Focus more on modern Sonic games, and less on Boom.

But if Boom MUST get another game, let it be a series of mobile phone games, NOT the other way around. People like Boom so much, they’ll practically throw their money at a mobile game of it. SEGA will get rich. Angry Birds rich. And SEGA will have more of a budget for a decent modern Sonic console game. And should any crap happen, SEGA will have Mobile Boom to fall back on (since they’ve paved all of America with the series). Rinse and repeat. These are their “stable profits” after all. Sonic Boom is shallow, mobile games are shallow. They both exists solely to rake in money. They go perfectly together.

Meanwhile, SEGA will be more open-minded to accept ideas from their actual fans, since they gave Big Red Button the time of day (and look how that turned out).



TheHumbleFellow

“Or they can f**k Boom and give us a modern Sonic console game.”

It hasn’t even been a year yet.I highly, HIGHLY doubt that Sega would can it after such a short time.Plus they’d be p***ing off the fans who enjoy it.

I’m starting to think your mindset for Boom is “Because this spin off series does not appeal to my personal tastes, I think no one should be allowed to enjoy it.



Johnny2071

I love how you only reply to parts of a comment that you feel like reading. It’s like you see only thing that strikes your attention and rush over to they reply box.

I guess you don’t care that Boom would make (and not cost) SEGA money if they stuck to mobile games instead of console games, while SEGA can use that money for a modern Sonic console game (I feel like a broken record). Boom shines in the mobile game scene, while the modern franchise won’t be ignored anymore and can go back to normal like 2012 (instead of all the stress since 2013-Current).

Tell me that you don’t care about my second paragraph. By the way, this is exhausting.



TheHumbleFellow

You ARE a broken record at this point.

It’s not about what you think is right.It’s the fact that your lecturing people when your experience with Boom is minimal at most.

Quite frankly, it’s hard to take you seriously when your only experience with Boom is one issue of the comic.(An issue which I believe to not be that good anyway.)It’s really not enough to make a convincing argument.

Maybe you should actually watch some episodes of the show before you get back on your soap box?I can make some recommendations…

Episode 2: Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?
Episode 3: Translate This
Episode 10: Dude, where’s my Eggman?
Episode 11: Cowbot
Episode 13: Unlucky Knuckles
Episode 17: Don’t judge me
Episode 20: Hedgehog Day
Episode 23: Let’s Play Musical Friends
Episode 25: Into the Wilderness



kamifox1

Or, OR, third option here, you can accept people enjoy a part of the franchise you don’t despite the fact you clearly haven’t played/watched/read any of it and move on with your life instead of doing a Chris-chan and ticking everyone off. Just a suggestion.



Johnny2071

I just want the next Sonic game. Don’t tell me what to do with my life.

And don’t care if my concerns are ticking you off. If anything, I’m being ticked off by you, HumbleFellow, a “mod”, Boom Amy, BigRedButton, Ken Penders, Iizuka, etc.

So why should I care, especially when people pretty much do and say whatever the hell they want.

Boom sticks to mobile games, and we get an awesome Sonic console game. Whether it’s Sonic Adventure 3 or not, we will get something of good quality that isn’t Boom. The end.



kamifox1

So you can do what you want even though it clearly ticks everyone here off yet myself, Hogfather and all these game devs etc. who own the rights to said franchise can’t because it ticks you off? Nice double-standard you have here, learn to take what you dish.

I’m going to stop before I get yet another scolding from Hogfather but you REALLY do need to stop posting your unfounded hate based on one issue of a comic, an advert and the internets negative opinions and reviews on every article here before you get banned. I know I shouldn’t backseat moderate but I’m trying to prevent further grief since if you keep up what you’re doing, you’ll only continue to get ticked off yourself as a result.



Johnny2071

It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you and everyone else do it anyway. So why would anyone give a shit about what I say now. I’m just doing the norm. You guys made it this way. All I said was Sonic Boom sucks and Sonic Adventure 3 is a plausible idea, but then your or HumbleFellow start calling people who want SA3 weaboos.

When did it become not-okay to say anything bad about Sonic Boom? Or do you prefer this:

Sonic Boom is the best! Sonic Boom is awesome rad tubular outstanding amazing transcendant godly incredible gnarly mondo way-past-cool! I don’t care if modern Sonic ever returns on a console.

And you know, I was never against Sonic Boom being on a mobile phone, but you took that way. And apparently, it’s now a crime to want a modern Sonic game.

I thought the fanbase could be even-steven for once. The best of both worlds. But now, the only validated opinion on this site is “Boom or nothing!”.

Final response:

Sonic Boom – Mobile phones
Modern Sonic – Console games (and more in the future).

Simple enough.



kamifox1

Neither of us called anyone a weeaboo, not sure where you got that from and it’s not the fact you dislike Sonic Boom, want a SA3 and feel the need to express these opinions that we’re complaining about. It’s the fact you feel the need to express them over and over again on every new article regarding Boom and Sonic and insult everyone who happens to enjoy it in the process. Express your opinion and make your point once then move on. It’s just painfully irritating at this point, to the point people are feeling the need to respond to you negatively just to get you to shut the hell up.
It’s also the fact you’re seemingly getting ticked off at everyone who’s getting ticked off at you, here’s a hint, stop telling us the same things over and over and insulting people then that problem will magically disappear.
We get it, you hate Boom. We get it, you want a new SA3 or something similar. Telling us over and over WILL NOT change our views or make the game happen. Neither will insulting everyone who has opposing opinions or dares to respond to you with the opposite opinion.



Johnny2071

So how does SEGA know what people want anymore, or what a good idea is?

When people complained about 3D Sonic games and want the series to go back to its roots, SEGA went and gave fans Sonic 4: Episode 1, as well as 2D sections in main console games (Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Lost World). Of course, all this happened after Sonic 2006.

One would think SEGA picks random internet sites and read comment pages, or else, how would they know. Why make articles and comment at all?

It’s obvious that I’m wasting my breath and it’s just pissing people off. So where do I go, where SEGA will listen? Reddit, YouTube, SEGA’s forum?



kamifox1

Yes. Their forums would be a great start. There’s also their Twitter, their Facebook, their own personal e-mail you can find on their site.
You don’t seem to get, however, that one person asking for the same thing over and over won’t make them sit up and listen though. They need to see that they’ll make a profit out of the idea, therefore you need more than one person asking for the things you want.

TheHumbleFellow

TV series isn’t shitty.

Jus’ sayin’.



f-sonic

well that’s your opinion, some people think it is.



kamifox1

Some doesn’t overrule most. Just because some people think something’s bad, doesn’t make that something genuinely bad. SOME people happen to think Mario’s bad yet look at how many fans outweigh those people.



f-sonic

even if there is a majority of people liking it, doesn’t make that opinion anymore valid than the other xD opinions are all different and varied depending on peoples tastes.

also there is no way to tell if more people prefer the cartoon or sonic boom in general than the people who don’t without a widescale poll, since there isn’t there is no way to tell if there is a majority that pefers it, or if there isn’t, if your just basing it on what you have seen people say, then thats little to go by, as a lot of anti sonic boom people tend to stay quiet because they don’t want to ruin it for the people who do like it.



kamifox1

The other guy said SOME though, which implies not that many. That’s all I was using in my response.



Johnny2071

Would you rather have a shitty Sonic Boom console game, instead of:

-A series of Sonic Boom mobile games, designed to rake in money.
-An actually good modern Sonic console games, supported by the money raked in by those “shitty” Boom mobile games.

Think about it. You could get a real Sonic title on a console, while Boom just rakes in money and doesn’t get in the way of modern Sonic game releases, or cost SEGA 300 people when a Boom console game sucks.

kamifox1

You don’t think the comics should keep running? 😮 The comics are honestly the best thing to come out of Boom with the show at a close second. Just saiyan~
