my opinion is that i dont like the idea of sonic turning to werewolves, weilding swords and fighting dark entities (chaos is sort of okay). im just not used to the fact that sonic is doing this kind of stuff. i just like games that all sonic has is his speed and the bad guy should be eggman and nothing more and for the love of god, NO MORE NEW SONIC CHARACTERS. There is enough of them already. One last thing, it worries me that mario might try to stoop up to Sonic's level like fighting gods that bowser summons to kill mario. This is my opinion so dont flame me for stupid reasons and take it maturely. Hope im not the only one who thinks of this.

i agree with you fighting gods got so dull and boring...

One thing that annoys me about games, ever since they made the leap from cartridges to discs, is cutscenes. I like a good story but I hate when a game is so in love with it's storyline, that it barely lets you play. People fawn over the CG cutscenes in games like MSG4 and pretty much any Square Enix game and yet it seems like you spend more time watching, long, drawn out cutscenes than actually playing the game. I understand there's a good story in there, but if I wanted to watch a bunch of non-interactive scenes, I'll go watch a movie.

Also cutscenes are often used to cover up medicore gameplay. Remove the fancy CG from a recent FF game and you get a repetitive, turn based RPG (well #12 is an exception with a new gameplay setup).

This is what I like about the Mario series, it doesn't bog us down with a ton of cutscenes. Imagine, if at the beginning of Galaxy if we were force fed some drawn out scene with Mario and Rosalina talk for 10 minutes and Mario goes on about how much he loves Peach blah blah blah....

At times, a game with an uneeded amount of cutscenes and story often comes off being pretentious.

i miss the 5 seconds-2 minute cutscenes that games used to have.....
