Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why does everybody complain about the Sonic having so many characters...

 It's an unfair, bias'd complaint. Most of the characters that SEGA adds last for a single game and are hardly ever seen again. The main and stabled cast of characters is Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Robotnik, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Silver, Blaze, Cream & Cheese, Marine, Big & Froggy, the Chaotix, the Babylon Rogues, and probably Mighty & Ray if they ever return. And many of the characters mentioned don't appear as much as each other. The rest of the characters added just last for a single game. And usually never to be seen again. The next characters to added in the main cast will most likely be for the 20th Anniversary.

 And look at Mario's characters. Last I check'd, there was over 46 and Sonic has over 26.

 This is all just unfair biasm.

I'm amazed that you actually know the names of those characters.. a cookie for you sir! I only know Sonic, Tails & Knuckels... the others are not worth remembering..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

  That's because I'm a Sonic Fan. And what about Robotnik?



It seems people associate the poor quality of Sonic games with the added characters. I think there are deeper problems with the series.



Red text is not nice.

And Sonics extra characters are mostly terrible.... a lot of Mario's are too (Waluigi) but not quite the same extent. (also how are we getting to 46/26... can you list them all please?)

There are too many characters when they don't do anything properly to make the characters non-annoying/more differentiated. And when they DO introduce them, they only support them for a game or two - people PREFER them to be used long-term, not introduced for a single game and forgotten after that.

Almost all of those Mario "characters" are just different baddies. Those don't count as "characters".

Off topic, but ugh, lose the red text.

People can't read that shit.



I'm amazed that you say that the core cast are like 15 people and don't think that's too many for a game series.

As for Mario, not even Toad is a noteworthy character. Sure, they fill out spots in party games with lots of characters, but the ones that actually matter in the series are Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser. That's it. You could argue that Yoshi and Wario do, too, which I think is fair, but try naming anyone else that is prominent in most games and not just some party-game filler-character (Daisy and Waluigi say hello).



Series should go back to just Sonic Tails and Knuckles... maybe Shadow, and maybe the Alligator dude... other than that, it's enough...
