Dear Whomever this may concern,

By CrazyVideoGameDude on February 27, 2010, 1:22 am

After viewing 3 minutes of leaked footage and snapshots on various websites, I have to say that I'm very disappointed on what Sonic 4 is turning out to be; a very ****ty game. For 1, who ordered 2.5D graphics? Anyone? Was Sonic 1, 2 , and 3 in 2.5D? Of course not! They were straight out 2D. If this isn't enough to say the game will suck, how about this.

Sonic has an awkward run. Throughout the 90s, his hair pulled back and his head poked fully out as his wheel like legs carried him through each stage. Now, for some reason, the blue rodent runs like he has a stiff in his back. Is this suppose to be like some sort of sick joke?  

Even though I haven't played a single moment, those two reasons right up there, are good enough to say this game will suck, 100% guaranteed. Anyone who downloads this will make a complete fool of themselves. Doing so will get Sega what they want, a way to disappoint their fans. There obviously doing it on purpose.

I bet the development team are home right now, soaking in a bath of 100 dollar bills, which were acquired from suckers like us, who bought so many ****ty Sonic games over the years. Perhaps, this is their plan on making money. Maybe, just maybe, they want Sonic fans to keep buying Sonic games in hopes of getting what they want. They know, Sonic fans are so forgiving, they'll be willing to go through so many titles before saying enough is enough.

But, when is enough, enough? When our pockets are empty and mouths dry from the lack of what we so desired? We can't allow this evil company to keep screwing us over! We must do something that will show them the true meaning of a Sonic fan! You guys ready?

We must all come together as one, Sonic Fans alike, to form the biggest boycott in history. That's right, we're not downloading Sonic 4 and we will not support it! In fact, I have something with much more impact, planned. Not only are we not going to download Sonic 4, but instead, were going to download Sonic's 1, 2, and 3! Only then will this greedy corporation realize we mean business.

Your Pal,
Robotnik

P.S.
Badniks Rule. That is all.

End Note.

I couldn't quite picture a Sonic fan feeling anger  toward something they never played. If they never played "Sonic 4." How would they know it would suck? Now, I'm not living in the minds of all Sonic fans, but, just as general gamers, we know not to judge something just by the way it looks. So what if it's 2.5D and his run isn't quite the same as the 90s, this possibly might be a pretty good game.

I figured any reasonable person would figure this out on their own, so obviously, someone else was behind this planned boycott. Just to be sure, I sent a letter to the very person I thought was the cause, Dr. Robotnik.

...

Dear Dr. Robotnik,

Ive been a huge fan of yours since the birth of Sonic the Hedgehog. That little rodent always got on my nerves. He was too fast for his own mind. You on the other hand, had very wide knowledge. You were someone I could look up to. Even though your inventions always failed, you always showed determination and potential. You never gave up. I'm sending a T-shirt, please sign it! Thanks!

Your # 1 fan,
CrazyVideoGameDude

End Note

We exchanged letters back and forth, and yes, I did get that cool autographed T-shirt. Eventually, he gained my trust then let me in on a little secrete, which was the boycott. His plans were to go under a different name then start a petition for a boycott. After doing some explaining, he sent me an example letter, which was the first I showed in this blog.

Obviously, Robotnik is a sore loser and can't stand the fact of losing against our famous friend anymore. The boycott was in hopes of not getting humiliated again.

In conclusion, stay away from these petitions. There only means are to take down our beloved hedgehog and not give him the proper chance he deserves. Like I said, just give it a try and don't let the evil Dr.s get to ya. Just hope Robotnik doesn't see this, I be in some **** then.

XD In a way, I was poking fun at those involved in these petitions...Nothing in that first letter is my opinions. I do however, believe we should give it a chance and not judge just by looking at the footage.

That's why I added some stuff after the letter, just so people knew it was a joke. I felt it foolish for people to judge a game before trying it, so, I just wanted to express my opinion, but, with an awkward twist. That's where the first letter comes in and it's purposely suppose to sound ridiculous  :D  Thanks for reading!

A great example of how nobody reads blogs fully any more.

I got a little quiet joke out of this. Interesting read, simple and to the point. 8.

Thanks:D I started the letter at the beginning to catch people off guard. Be funny how many people actually think that's really my opinions on the game before they find out who's really behind it! Dun Dun Dunnn....

Wow, I thought for a moment you are against Sonic 4. Thank goodness I read it till the end.:D

When Sonic 4 comes out on the PS3, I just might buy it if I got the cash to spare. Looks really good. Shame there are some ******* out there that made some stupid petition on boycotting the game. These guys are even worse than the ones back during Left 4 Dead 2

Nice read once again.

I'm not sure which was worst. I am glad I didn't make fun of the Left For Dead petition. Who would be behind that? A witch? How about a boomber!? Yea, a letter coming from something like that, just wouldn't work too well.

Ha ha nice job. I honestly can't believe people these days. Everyone has to  complain about something (though i guess this counts as i'm complaining about complainers) whether it's graphics, animations, frame rates. For me the game has Sonic in it which is more than enough reason to purchase it. Now if you excuse me i'm off to play some more Sonic Allstar racing....

Those petitions and said boycotts are absolutely ridiculous sometimes. It's often times why I don't read the comments on various trailers on GT. They'll often write-off a game from watching a single trailer. Ah well, I guess a lot of people will be missing out.

By "Write-off" you mean, Planning not to buy?

I seen the situation with "Blaster Master," Over Drive. If I didn't play the game before watching the review, I probably would have backed off. I'm glad I didn't and I'm glad I played it before watching that video. Despite what the reviewer said, it was a pretty awesome game. Not as good as the original, but, still fun and challenging.

Yup 'not buy'. Gameplay videos, trailers, and video reviews of games are just tools for us to preview the game, but ultimately I'll try anything once; whether it's through renting or playing at a friend's house, or by recommendation from those who have played it.

How could anyone take what you wrote at the beginning seriously and not realize it was a joke?!  Oh, right, cuz we've all read it pretty much verbatim (though not on ScrewAttack, thankfully) from someone who was completely serious. 

This kind of reminds me of Poe's Law: “Without a winking smiley or other blatant
display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism
that someone won't mistake for the real thing.”  This could be tweaked for fanboys: “Without a winking smiley or other blatant
display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fanboys
that someone won't mistake for the real thing.”

Anyway, I liked this.

I rarely force my brain through complication, but, I get it now:D Also, glad you liked it.
