#but here's more for the pile: i prefer sa1's story over sa2

[latin-dr-robotnik]

I love to hear your thoughts on the Shadow's story in SA2 and Ark itself since you mentioned you don't care for it too much. ^_^ Oh, I saw you also Followed me, thank you so much!

Oh, I'm still catching up big time with making new mutuals, it's one of the things I promised to change about this blog back at the start of the year and it's been quite quite a ride so far :P

I've talked several times in the past about SA2's achievements in terms of character development and stuff (with skull we talked about Amy's sense of justice just by looking at a hero side cutscene screenshot, lol) but the big irony here is that I have little to say about what I personally think of the story itself. It's a fine story, I won't sit and discuss plotholes for like an hour, but at the same I can't connect with it on such a level like many other Sonic fans can do.

Although one thing I can say is that I love Shadow's personality there. They nailed him straight from the get-go and watching every cutscene featuring him is an absolute delight. The only other instance I can say I enjoyed his character as much as SA2 is –funnily enough– Sonic Forces.

So, sorry to disappoint, but I don't have much to say about the drama that happens in the game. Even when I replay the story I end up focusing most of my actual time with the game on the Chao Garden (I get REALLY invested there lol), and besides the whole Knuckles-Rouge subplot the rest of the game makes me go "It's fine" *cue Scott the Woz reference here*
