Au moins je me dis que ça reste une dispute plus intéressante que celle "Qu'est-ce qui est meilleurs entre le Sonamy et le Sonally ?" :p

C'est un sentiment très personnel, mais j'ai l'impression que ça s'améliore! Je prends pour exemples, d'un côté Takashi Iizuka qui et présent sur Facebook et qui semble porter attention à ce qu'on lui envoie (vu qu'on a déjà eu des confirmations/démentis via des personnes qui lui avaient posé une question), et de l'autre côté on a Aaron Webber, qui a expliqué dans le podcast de SEGAbits (dont on a parlé sur le topic des jeux pour 2016) qu'il avait une liberté totale sur la relation qu'il a avec les fans sur les réseaux sociaux.
Pour moi c'est une preuve que SEGA ne cherche pas/plus à prendre une image corporate de base, mais à vraiment s'impliquer dans l'interaction avec ses fans. Ce qui pourrait être très bon pour nous: lors du podcast SEGAbits, Aaron a noté plusieurs idées à faire passer aux autres teams chez SEGA, comme la réalisation d'un artbook officiel.

SONALLY FOR THE WIN ! AND NOTHING ELSE ! @_@

Pas de combat de boss où notre bud' sert de bouclier ou un niveau qui suit un enlèvement où on a la tension de devoir le retrouver alors que c'était tellement facile. Bon, c'est un peu sombre le coup du bouclier pour la nouvelle façon de narrer mais c'est dommage, on pouvait complexifier et relancer des enjeux dans le scénario si facilement !

Van Robichaux was fun and remained pro (when he was still alive). Being fun and doing his job properly aren't in contradiction. Webber is extremely childish and unprofessional. He uses a fictional character account to spread his own opinions and social causes which is unacceptable. Attacking teenagers for doing a lame video isn't something an official account should do. Webber must understand he's no longer part of the fandom when he's wearing Sonic's shoes; it feels that the Sonic account is representing the ''community'', not the brand. We don't need a friend; we need someone who understand the concerns of the consummers. Webber has no interest for people's concerns; he just answers with stupid memes most of the time (which can be insulting for people who asked serious questions) and that's when he feels like answering because he often ignores legit questions too. Webber shouldn't act like everything is happy and positive when most of the fans are pissed and bitter. The boy lacks of empathy big time.

Et là, SA3 rédige un article pour dire : "Oh mon dieu, il ne faut pas faire ça ! C'est contraire à l'éthique d'un RP." et casse du sucre sur Sonic Boom. Vu qu'il aime le Sonic rebelle de SA2, ça la fout mal. Mais surtout non seulement ils tapent sur type qui tente de défendre la série face à la folie des journaleux qui prend un malin plaisir à casser du sucre sur dos du hérisson (voire des types qui propage le meme "la fanbase Sonic est autiste") mais réagit exactement comme Gametrailers/Gamekult en tapant sur Sonic Boom qui n'en a guère besoin.

Pardon me, let me quote GameTrailers :

"We dont need to hear how sonic colors and sonic generations are pretty good games. those are delusions, the sonic brand has inexplicably persisted for over 2 decades after its last great game"

Where is it said that Generations sucks ? When they said "those are delusions", he meant delusions of having saved the franchise on the long term.

It was not a direct attack on Colors and Generations.

You claim that you are unable to respond to questions, yet you go all the way here where people didn't even talk directly to you and you make numerous replies in an attempt to clean your own credo.
And you claim that you don't take it personally, despite you are trying to make it as if SA fans are trying to make it personal.

How can you dare to come here in attempts to make it look like we are monsters while ignoring everything that was said in this note? You are trying to convince people that SA fans are the ones who don't get it and that you are just here to make people laugh, smile, feel joy... we are just the party poopers who want to be in constant turmoil and want to spoil fun to all others.

The problem is: FUN IS NOT A FEATURE. Fun is something that is relative. Every person finds fun in different things. And you are trying to build a cult of people who all have fun only from one thing: Modern Comedy Sonic. People who don't like this new take on Sonic are seriously mistreated by your followers and by you.

You claim that all opinions are valued and that it's bad to call people delusional for liking something. OK then, let me ask you a question:
If I came on twitter and told you that I love Sonic 06 and I hate Generations, how would you react? How would your followers react? I am sure that you would ignore it and all your followers would turn on me and call me delusional. Would you even try to silence them and tell them to not insult my opinion? I really doubt it. Why do I doubt it? Last time somebody said something like this you told him:
"Shut up, play Generations, thank me later!"

Thank you for what exactly? That you recommended me a hollow shell of a game that is only good because of the modders? Or should I thank you for being turned to your side by suddenly loving Generations despite I don't have anything for it other than massive disappointment?
I should I thank you for disrespecting my opinion?!

If your job is to make people happy and smiling, you failed at your job gloriously. You came to the last page for Adventure fans - people who will most likely completely die out after 2016. And I can tell you that Adventure fans feel ANYTHING BUT happiness and joy.
We feel sadness, frustration, exhaustion, desperation... And why? Because all the people you so much value - the Sonic fans you believe to be the positive people - are shunning us, calling us hateful idiots, laughing at us, making sure that we know that we lost... And what do you do? Congratulating them and inspiring them to be more like that.

Adventure fans and the current remaining active fans in the fanbase want completely different things. You can never have them under the same banner. Never. It's like having toddlers and senior war veterans in the same group of people participating in the same events. You can't pretend that there is some way to shush all nay-sayers and make Sonic great again by censure. You will see for yourself that it will never work.
Comedy fans will like anything modern Sonic now offers. They can stomach humor that deconstructs Sonic and makes fun of him and his entire universe. They love to make jokes about people they find stupid and when they feel it's justified, they love to be mean to others and will never realize it, just like Beans Kail,

Adventure fans do not only represent the fans of Sonic from his glory days, they are actually people who are not "Sonic fans" by today's standards. They are general gaming audience with an outside perspective on the things. That's why nobody understood the text of this note. Only the hardcore "regular" Sonic fans read it. And being a Sonic fan clouds your mind, including your own, Webber. You can no longer see Sonic from the eyes of outsiders who watch how this series is going down the toilet.

People think that Adventure fans are "splinter group" of the fanbase who have extremists view on how Sonic should be and who are (in the best case) perverted idiots who will scare the average person by their fetishes. Nothing could be further away from the truth.
In fact, this is exactly how the outside gaming world sees the current modern/comedy Sonic fans - like elitistic niche weirdos. And you are their king if you want to behave the way you behave. No wonder that the outside world made a laughing stock out of Sonic, when even the officials behind his portrayal act as fanatic fanboys. By your actions, you are making it obvious to the entire world that only Sonic fans can enjoy Sonic. And in order to become a Sonic fan, one must enter this community of strict ethics and positivity dominance. But who would ever entertain this idea?
Sonic is no longer about the games. Sonic is only about the community of Sonic fans. Who doesn't want to be in the community doesn't "deserve" to be called "Sonic fan" and so the games are not for him.

Do you not believe? If you don't, then I must ask you if you are blind. You just made a response to Beans Kail hinting that we were the overly passionate fans who took out our frustrations. While it was Beans Kail who exploded in rage, insulted us AND even called Sonic "a shitty blue rat"!
Yeah, that's right! Imagine if somebody called Sonic "a shitty blue rat" on your twitter account. How would you and others react? Probably not positively. But here, you like it because you know that this person is on your side.
It's not about Sonic. Sonic is just a @#$!ing videogame character - nobody cares about him. It's just a shitty rat. The main thing is to never criticize the PR person who is trying to shut up the fans who don't like this treatment of the iconic gaming icon.

It's ironic, because Boom was claimed to be for everyone BUT Sonic fans, yet a subgroup of the Sonic fans are the only people who defend it today.

You are not helping your cause if you keep behaving like this. You are scaring off even the alleged target audience of the Boom series. And talking about the main series, you should read the beginning of this note again. It's written there that the Adventure fans have no ally inside of the official Sonic Team or on any position of power in the decision-making chain. And that is true. When was the last time anybody in SEGA ever said anything about continuing the Adventure series? Who at the SEGA ever said about the next game having ANY quality Adventure fans want:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/sonic-adventure-3/the-sonic-adventure-3-pillars-final-revised-edition/609248899124487

All we hear from all directions is just mockery and claims that Adventure games are outdated at best and terrible at worst.

And nobody at the SEGA side ever even prove that they understand completely what fans want AND that they are trying to make Sonic Team to please them.
We were all but ignored until lately.
And what changed?
Frost called us a "splinter group" and now you told us that you know we exist. And that's it. We exist and we should suck it up. Our feedback is welcome. Bye!

If you don't intent to REALLY understand what Adventure fans and the general gaming public feels, please do not even try to respond to this.
Just like Mike Pollock once condescendingly told me:
"I can explain it to you, but I can't comprehend it FOR you."
Because honestly, it was way better when you (meaning SEGA) were just ignoring us. Because while we were being ignored, we could at least hope that maybe... somehow... somewhere... deep beneath all this corporate and cold statements about things unrelated to the Real Sonic Spirit,... you actually knew and you were trying to do something for us all along.
But now, we do actually know that you know about us,... yet you still do nothing. You do nothing in terms of making a good game for us, and you also do nothing in terms of making us feel welcome. You are making everybody but us welcome.

The way SEGA makes business now makes all their customers feel completely rejected and betrayed. And despite we recently heard that SEGA realizes that we feel this way, it is likely that they don't really know why we feel this way. They are not really going to attempt to improve Sonic franchise to make up for it, are they?

Une énorme partie des recherches que Sega ou la ST ne semblent pas avoir fait est ici, écrite aux yeux de tous.

Je hais la "kiddy era", je ne sais même pas comment elle peut continuer depuis si longtemps. Si nous, fans d'Adventure, sommes un publique de niches, que sont les fans de la kiddy era ? Franchement ? Et Webber en fait partie !

Y a tellement à faire pour briser tout ça que personne ne souhaite tenter ce travail, tant la tache est incommensurable et les choses quasiment immuables mais il faudra y passer et d’abord dire ce qu'est vraiment Sonic (parce que personne, ni même les fans ne le sait vraiment).

C'est une blague ?! SA3 n'est juste de la propagande pour une idéologie ultra dominante dans le jeu vidéo actuel : "l'américanisme" ou tout est cinématisé, où le joueur est pris par la main, où on fait des truc super dark pour emo parce que ça va attirer la cible qu'est 12-25 ans en mal de se convaincre qu'ils sont adultes (alors que non). Je combats cette idéologie néfaste et je n'ai pas franchement envie de me la farcir dans ma série préféré.
