ok so i know ive complained abt shadow and infinite’s backstory in sonic forces but can i also just say how uncomfortable it is that shadow allegedly murdered a ton of people in a facility... kinda like what happened in the ARK

like i already think him joining GUN was kinda a bad writing choice but cmon

also the fact that infinite going sicko mode was not bc his squad died but bc shadow called him weak is the perfect example to point to for how WEIRD forces’s writing is. say what you want about how batshit the adventure games and 06 got with their plotlines but at least all the death and violence in those games were taken seriously and had narrative weight. here its just like “SEE we put VIOLENCE in the game guys!! we TOTALLY nailed what made our earlier stories so good!!”

#its that and also ''sonic was tortured for several months but came out ok and its never mentioned again''#that was just there to make the game sound fucked up and catch interest. but i also hate it bc the fandom was weird abt it #the jackal squad's deaths have potential ig but its more of a fun fact than anything #also i cant really feel bad for infinite bc its kinda his own fault his quad died and he doesnt even consider that at all #which would make him interesting but no #like bro you literally forced your squad to join eggman for the hell of it. then put em out on the field to die when they all objected #can you like... get angry abt that outside of one line #ntm none of the squad are seen in the game anyways and theyre not really taken intoaccount for his backstory #so its literally pointless its just there to make the game darrrrrk without putting in the effort to make any sense of vulnerability #bc yes sa2 was a really dark game. it was also earnest and vulnerable abt the pain shadow and gerald felt #i do really like dark stuff in video games but it just feels cheap in forces #echoed voice
