Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don't we have this anymore?
I played like five hours of Forces
Oh, so you beat the game!
Bit of an aside but "make your deviantart sonic oc real" is such a slam dunk great idea and I still can't believe sonic team fucked it up as badly as they did.
