Rev Up Those Sonic Cycles

[Rökkan]

Hahahaha, the irony here is that Mega64 hasn't made a good video since 2006

Seriously, people who like Mega64 should raise their standards a bit. Every time they make something new, it always ends up unfunny. They should have ended their little sideshows long ago. The quality of their videos plummeted to shit-tier levels, and they still haven't recovered since

Yes I know it's satire, but I didn't enjoy it. And now looking back, I don't know why I laughed at the old mega64 vids when I was 16-17. I guess I had low standards.

Not trying to offend anyone who likes Mega64, was just in the mood to be Sonic's White Knight. TBH I'm sick of all the pretentious anti-sonic media that floats around the internet nowadays

Uhhh, first, I also hate any sort of anti-sonic media shit that goes on about "oh sonic is retarded nowadays" but don't pinpoint at all why. Like it's just cool to hate Sonic and Sonic fans. Point in case: Everyone was making fun of Sonic fans when Sonic Unleashed came out, saying that how could a game that features something as ridiculous as a "werewolf Sonic" sell so much, saying that Sonic fans would buy anything SEGA releases without any further question. Then, when SONIC 4 came out, everyone still made fun of Sonic fans for saying that they're complaining too much! Oh gee, I wonder why is that? Is the fandom bipolar or are the ones criticizing generalizing pieces of shit?

However, I love that Mega64 video, because it is true. Just Classic Sonic appearing there, although it is very impressive, doesn't say anything about whether the game is going to be good or not, and any judgement should be held off to when it releases, specially because hype is a really terrible thing - you won't enjoy the game more if you hype it, and if the game ends up disappointing you in some way, the hype will make the disappointment be a lot bigger and meaningful. And yes, the message about nostalgia is true - we shouldn't be too stuck on what we liked as a kid, we should grow up and re-analyze what we like, and learn to let go of certain things if it's only nostalgia that brings you there.

Also, don't take that video so personal, it's not like this video represents an in-depth opinion of all of them on what Sonic is nowadays - Rocco himself said that Colors definitely looked better than the rest of Sonic's recent games, even though apparently he didn't play it yet.

Also, are you and Grooveman serious? Since 2006 Mega64 has evolved and turned way better than what it was. I regret buying Version 1 and 2 of Mega64 because I can't stand the humor they had before, but now, they're the funniest people on the internet nowadays, no joke. Not only their videos are much more entertaining, but their podcast is one of the best internet podcasts out there, they're really entertaining and awesome. Plus, along with a weekly podcast, they bring up new videos every week. And if you're a really, really big fan of them, you can also follow their personal channels that gets video uploads every day.
