It is one simple belief that dawned upon me about a month ago: Sonic 06 sucked so bad, people try to block out future depression by autolabeling future games as shit.

The equation "Sonic+Gimmick=Automatic fail" seems to be branded into the brains of those who despised Sonic 06, which then carries on to games like Secret Rings, Unleashed and the UNRELEASED(AKA:Highly unjudgable on final levels as of now) Black Knight. Only reason Bioware's Sonic RPG escaped the wrath of this fan applied curse is probably because Sonic Team is pinned with the damage done, and this game had a complete lack of them.

In Laconic terms, It's likely people now hate Sonic's games on a reflexive level.

The reason I think people are starting to hate it is because it's drifting too far away from what it should be.

SA2 appeared to be the last one everyone loved, because it still had its interesting bosses, awesome stages that, while in a somewhat realistic setting, were still wacky enough to let us love them.

Shadow took things a little too dark in his game, considering Sonic games are usually colorful and all.

Then Sonic 06 tried to take Sonic, put him in a super realistic setting and make a human fall in love with him, which is all just wrong. Plus, they introduced Silver, who takes the "Sonic" part of the game out of the game when you play as him. People want to go fast, not throw boxes. It was almost like ST wanted to say "Hey look! We put physics in the game! And we made a character that revolves around it!"

SatSR is the only one I can't really say anything about, because I never played past the tutorial. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you couldn't go backwards at all...stupid foot shuffle.

Black Knight? Probably getting some negative looks because it's basically SatSR2.

Sonic Unleashed. They finally got the Sonic part right, with the whole 'run insanely fast across the world and look good doing it' bit, but they went and introduced Clunky Mario meets Dynasty Warriors for 50% of the game, which was just annoying as hell. Especially so because the finishing moves basically kill you if you make a mistake.

When they start realizing that Sonic is a bright blue talking animal that cannot be taken seriously in an even slightly dark plot, I might start liking Sonic again. ФֻФ

Most people actually started to think Sonic will go downhill after Shadow the Hedgehog. They were right. It didn't start from 06. At least 06 didn't have guns.
