Description
Because some people have a hard time telling the difference between a light hearted or kiddy and a cool or balanced game look like, I'll haveΒ to school yall with this. B4 the damage control starts, I'm not calling Mario kiddy, but you would be lying if you said he isn't light hearted, and hypocritical if you think that because Sonic is a blue hedgehog, that makes him a kiddy game and he's not allowed to have edgy or cool content because that's "trying too hard". So, when you get right down to it, saying Sonc is kiddy or should be light hearted is saying he should be like the above images, and not anything cooler looking like the images below, and that's just ignorant. You have you light hearted games, now stop acting like your a Sonic fan and play those games instead.

Contra is decidedly more hardcorps and realistic by design, this was about more fictional games being balanced.

I guess. Just wondering have you played it. It is amazing. Only problem is that it is way to hard, took me about 24 hours of game time to get the good ending.

No I haven't played it, but lets not pretend this game doesn't deliver what many rom hacks already did for free, on top of having the same gameplay as them and the original games I've played a thousands times since childhood. I'm waiting for it to be on sale, that's not worth 20$.

I wouldn't say Kirby so much anymore. Kirby is not so Light/Kiddy now.
I mean did you see how awesome the new one, Kirby Planet Robobot is? He even pilots a friggin Mech-Suit in that one, and fights against robots that are like something you'd see out of Vectorman or Sonic!

I don't know people get this idea that 1 thing changes the overall tone of Kirby, especially when I just found out about that Clay adventure of his a while back.
Now, I'm looking at the video. The robot is still pink and the overall tone of the game is still Sugar bowl. Kirby has fight a giant bleeding eyeball before, and his game was still Sugar bowl. This robot changes nothing, it looks a little cooler, but Sonic only looked like that in Lost World, and Vectorman looked nothing like that.

I just got the game today as it was released. Personally, this Kirby game has taken a whole new level in awesomeness, almost like they looked to the actually good Sonic for inspiration. This Kirby game is a lot more cool and balanced and less light and kiddy.
The robots in this one that he fights against, most of them anyways, are more serious and sophisticated, not the quirky and silly ones like you see in stuff like The Jetsons or Jimmy Neutron or something like that, and this before the Last Level, and throughout a good deal of the game. Take the one boss, Holo-Defense API in it, which reminds me of something out of Halo or Destiny in ways.
Oh, and in it, he's also fighting an Eggman-style Evil Genius now too, who is trying to strip his home planet of resources for construction of his own things. A more serious and harsh plot.
And to top it all off, one of the bosses now is Mecha-Knight, who is like Metal Sonic crossed with Meta Knight. What do you have to say about that?
Yes, Kirby here isn't so light and kiddy, and has changed to balanced and awesome.

This might be a one off thing, but it's cool.

The point was that people say that Sonic was always light hearted when he was more cool and balanced. The comparison is just to show the difference that many people here don't want to accept.

What's wrong with liking Sonic Colors? Most of the fans of that game can't be as immature and wrong in their opinions as you say they are.
π: 0 β©: 1
I never said there was something wrong with liking Colors, I never even mentioned it.
Even then, a lot of the people who spit the most negative stuff about Sonic and his fans, advocating the vitriol they pretend to be against, and obvious Nintendo fanboys, happen to like Colors. Not all, not most, but a lot of the ones I described, and have mainly been the ones I've dealt with since I've been in the fanbase, and have proven to be immature and/or wrong with their opinions(before you even realize that opinions by definition may not even be true), and multiple times on a constant basis. No need to defend these people because of the ones who don't act like them, because they aren't the ones I'm talking about. I even know a couple people who like Colors and still agree with what I've said.

What is your least favorite aspect of Sonic Colors.

The story and tone of the game aren't good, and aside from a few tracks, the sounds track sucks.

I can see where your getting at, but I disagree.
π: 0 β©: 1
You may disagree, but it's still a shortcoming for the average consumer. Kiddy or light hearted games aren't what most gamers want, as you notice that the most popular games are usually mature or action packed. Sonic himself was popular for NOT being another Mario, but having attitude and balance. Colors is just as bad in the light side as people claimed Shadow was in the dark side, but Shadow still had content that satisfies the average consumer, plus, that was Shadow's own game anyway.

Yeah, but Sonic Colors sold around 2 million, it can't be that bad.

That's when you count the handheld version, and it's not even the same game.

Looking at each of the light hearted games you represent and wonder why Sonic can not. Each of them had dark fringe horror moments. Sonic Colors tried showing destruction wisp home world but it still hand waved it. Β Sonic Lost World any dark moments were back to status que except other Eggman reply Deadly Six.

"Looking at each of the light hearted games you represent and wonder why Sonic can not."
It's a matter of why should he when being cool is what made him popular.
"Each of them had dark fringe horror moments."
And that doesn't nearly equate to how light hearted each of those series are. The Kirby games are a prime example because it's the final boss at the end of a candy coated game, and that depends on the game itself. Mario doesn't even have that in the main titles and is mainly in the paper games, and as far as I know, Yoshi only had it one the end of the first game. Meanwhile, I don't need to get into what Sonic has fought against without having to go into fringe horror.
"Sonic Colors tried showing destruction wisp home world but it still hand waved it."
And aside from that, the majority of the games was a light hearted kids comedy that was badly written.
" Sonic Lost World any dark moments were back to status que except other Eggman reply Deadly Six."
And most of those dark moments were cheesy, and most of the game looked like a Mario copy.
Again, this is the fact that this isn't what Sonic needs to be. I don't know why you guys feel such a need to try and argue for it when you can go for a better and more appealing route, rather then "Lets make the game look extremely kiddy and hide dark moments in them around the end of the game".
Further, you completely side-stepped the other games I put on the bottom, that were cool and appealing games that didn't have to hide "fringe horror" in them just so you could use them as an argument, and I'm guessing that's why you skipped them.

You want separation and feel that they canβt and should go with the path of least resistance. Β Cream, Big, and a few others are argument of the exception. Isolating and obsession to one thing only is not healthy. Β Β Yes so is copying. Seriously I still wonder of being more Hello Kitty other than marketing.

I'm a bit lost here, cause I can't tell what any of this is any real response to.
I just need to know how is making Sonic as cool as the two other games on the bottom a bad thing.

Uh... have you seen the final bosses in Kirby games? Most of them are eldritch abominations, and some of them bleed. And not green blood. Actual red stuff. In fact, Zero tears out its own bloody iris and uses it as a weapon.
π: 1 β©: 1
The final boss doesn't make up for game.
π: 1 β©: 2
You should play the newest one, Kirby Planet Robobot. I mean in that one, like the majority of the game has you fighting against actually awesome robots that look like something you'd see in Sonic or Vectorman!

One comment was enough, you don't have to go across 2 of my memes to tell me the same thing. Also, please, don't compare this to Vectorman, it's nothing like it in tone, as I said last time.

The point is that the games aren't all sushine and rainbows.
Let's not forget that Kirby himself happily kills hundreds of creatures because somebody stole his cake.

"The point is that the games aren't all sunshine and rainbows."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but not only was that just the final boss, it came at the end of the 3rd game, and only after you collected all theΒ McGuffins in that game. It doesn't change the fact that Kirby is Sunshine and Rainbows for most of his games, like, 98% in all of them.

Personally, I say it's entirely possible for a game to be both.

It is, it's been done in movie. The only difference is that for the better media out there, people don't get into simply because it's light hearted.

There is plenty of games that look light hearted, yet very hard. An example is Mr. Gimmick.
