One of the things I believe any long time fan of a series should start doing once in awhile (depending on the franchise) is look back and study it; where it has been, where it's at now, and what exactly your thoughts are of it considering the people behind it. Are you pleased with the direction, or do you want them to stop and think back to what actually made it interesting and unique? Do you go with the flow, buying up everything you can in hopes to support it and see it continue onwards or are you constantly unsure with where your loyalties lie because it has become increasingly questionable about who's holding the reigns of your beloved stories of adventure, action, lust/romance, etc? For me I believe it's time I took a step back and thought to myself once again about Sonic The Hedgehog. The last time I wrote about him, it was when I had a realization about what kind of fan I -truly- am in the end, and thus why I buy his games. I have now reached a point where not only does the topic of Sonic The Hedgehog fill me with confusion the likes of which aren't unfamiliar with cheating on your lover whom you claimed not long ago was your 'true love', but it fills me with constant frustration and rage at his parent company: SEGA.
This, my friends is going to be me taking raw pock shots at SEGA and giving out a list: Top 5 Things SEGA Needs To Stop Doing With Sonic the Hedgehog.
