The answer to this video is yes, it is a damn problem that this market is lacking innovation and of course there will be clones so long as someone finds out that someone else's product is actually successful like Call of Duty. The difference today is that people can now go online to view public perception of whether or not a game is worth your time based on what it features.

I am reminded again of "90% of everything is crap" Case in point, 90% of the games may not be your taste either.

We must take responsibility for ourselves - the industry reflects what we buy. The money is in safe bets like proven franchises. We need to encourage the companies to make more innovations by actually paying for games that are diversifying. Love the ending. a good argument can close with a quote and you picked a great one.

I can't stress how much I love your show on the whole, but I have one very important question: Have you played Sonic Colors and/or Sonic Generations? I can understand your opinion regarding Shadow the Hedgehog (though I disagree) and Sonic '06 (which I agree with in every conceivable way), but it seems that the biggest haters of the series from the last generation and first part of the current generation have their heads buried in the sands, conveniently failing to recognize the series now that it's actually good again (after, I reiterate, only one genuine misstep and a bunch of games that were good though lacking in direction and overall polish).

If I'm right--and I may not be; you may have completely legitimate reasons for not liking either of the last two games--then this really is true nostalgia blindness in the worst possible way. Somewhat ironic, considering the spot on points made regarding that topic in the rest of this video...

I'm pretty sure the planet of the apes reference started on the lines "What will he find there?" "His destiny..." and not the obvious "YOU BLEW IT ALL UP!!!!!!1one" line.

Uhh...plothole? Retrothinker said he wants to see "what happened to his boy, Sonic" which doesn't make sense, as he cryogenically froze himself in 1990, one year prior to Sonic's debut.

Huh! At first, I wasn't diggin this new flavor of narrative, but it's grown on me.

Pretty sure the GameGear (and for that matter, the master system) did not exist then either, because 8-bit sonic would also have to been out.
