Franchise fanboys

Seriously, the fans that are never pleased need to SHUT THE FUCK UP. I will get to my impressions on E3 later but this is some shit that is bothering me.

First of all: Sonic. We have been asking for a new 2D Sonic game for 16 years and now that its happening people are already BITCHING. What the fuck is wrong with you? Sure the new design of Sonic sucks and the homing attack may make it too easy but seriously?

Would you rather no Sonic 4 at all? Because its sounding like it. 2010 can be the triumphant return of the blue hedgehog that has seen terrible game after terrible game since 2001 (Gameboy iterations excluded). Sonic Unleashed's daytime levels were the best 3D Sonic gameplay we have had since Sonic Adventure 2, the game sucked because of the Warehog crap, Sonic Colors looks like it could finally be where the 3D iterations should have been years ago while Sonic 4 is building on what made Sonic great in the first place.

Zelda: now my issue with Zelda graphics in Wind Waker was Link's football head, and now we have a blend of the last few Zelda game art styles and people are bitching again. People bitched that WW was too cartoony and Twilight Princess was too dark, find a half-way point and people are again bitching. Look assholes: Cell shaded graphics, artsy stuff like this is done for a reason: it ages longer. Twilight Princess will look like ass in 5 years while Skyward Sword and Wind Waker hide the technical limitations of a console. You wanted a TP style that looks on par with what were used to? Your going to need a new console!

You alleged core Zelda fans also get my contempt because in Ocarina of Time 3DS they will fix the water temple. Funny how history revisionists love to go about this: it wasn't that it was tough it was broken, it was a limitation of a pause menu inventory system that made things incredibly annoying.

Remember nobody is forcing you to buy or play these games. I can just imagine that if Shenmue 3 gets announced people will bitch because its not on the Dreamcast. At the end of the day I will snicker and laugh because your chest pounding will be for naught as you will be buying and playing these games when they come out.
