Sonic The Hedgehog(2006) is a big example and i always wondered how the game has such a good soundtrack and yet is horrible(And it also explains why Mario is more preffered in the rivalry between them)

Some games aren't inherintely bad just lack something....DmC: Devil May Cry(Curses silently) Was not a bad game exactly, Gameplay was pretty good, Story was kinda good not perfect but good because it's actually something that is possible but like i said lacks something and plus it kinda pissed of alot of fans of the original devil may cry 1-Is that a serious question? What, you think Good Soundtrack and Good Story or Gameplay go hand in hand?

2-Mario isn't prefered, he's just more popular, his fanbase is a lot less broken than Sonic's and much more mature, and his franchise has had much less fuck ups throughout it's history, and the ones that he's had didn't even affect Mario. He's not the one most people prefer, he's just the one with the most followers.

3-DmC wasn't bad, on it's own. Compared to the other Devil May Cry games, it leans much more towards casual play (in a genre ruled by hardcore gamers), and has many changes in both style and some mechanics that anyone can see it's inferior, even if not bad by itself.

And there's also Dunte. Dante was loved by almost everyone and was easy to like, while Dunte looks like an emo, is very hard to like, and even if you do like him he does things that cross the line. Such as killing the Big Bad's son and then mocking him for it. The story itself is overall better than DMC1's, but hack and slash games are not buyed for their stories, but for their gameplay.

It pissed off many fans of the original DMCs, yes, but you got the reasons entirely wrong, and I feel they would be insulted by the reasons you give ("It lacks something"? Seriously?).

4-Regarding CoD, the only one worthy of respect is Black Ops 2. In a franchise that has always been the same shit over and over for about a decade, BO2 actually brought changes. And good ones. A story whose ending can be affected by your choices, multiple ways to finish some missions, alternating between past and present in the story, plus a more futuristic feel that makes things feel refreshing, although YMMV on some things.
