i vote yes
-
I vote Link
-
what about Crash in his undead second life at Vivendi
-
Kevin Gifford loved Vexx. So, for that matter, did Dan Hsu.
Was the whole game the creation of 8 people? Or the character alone?
-
Sonic is extra shitty, though. he's worse than vexx, because furries and forum losers don't jerk off to vexx.
-
gasp.
-
There's a major cell development gene that is named Sonic the Hedgehog. How dumb is that?
-
Is it the gene that causes anthropomorphic eroticism in fat teenagers?
No, but that would probably be a more appropriate gene to be named after Sonic. If I ever find the gene that you're talking about, I'll name it Drinky Crow.
-
I dunno, I think Crash Bandicoot is the worst.
-
No sonic is awesome, he's fast and has attitude and in sonic underground him and his lovable friends had awesome instruments that shot lasers and shit. Thats cool.
-
I'll openly admit that I liked Sonic Adventure :-[
But yeah, he's pretty sucky.
-

No, he's not. Sonic is okay, he just has distinguished mentally-challenged fans.
-
It's really the weirdo furry fans that dragged Sonic into the dirt. He was a nice fun character originally.
Anyways, I vote Solid Snake.
-
Well okay, yeah, the fans pretty much make him awful. I'm not really thrilled on how Sega markets him nowadays though.
It'd be easy to say Mario in some cases, but for the most part Mario games are quite good still. So, Sonic for me still.
-
PS: There's a new MAF mascot in homotown!

does solid snake count as a mascot though?
also pacman as a mascot is ass. I mean he's fin as a character in his own game but he doesn't need platforming and kart racing games either.
-

Nope, but Samus does
UAHUAHUAHUHA
-
I hate Sonic and Crash's "badittude".
-
Mario outside of the main games is pretty shitty and the fan wank is ten times as bad.
As Sonic's fan wank? No way. Sonic's fanbase is just creepy. At least Mario tends to be popular outside of the smelly highschool freshmen who pop their pimples in class.
-
I bet you could write an essay on the use of balanced doppelgangers in games. Mario/luigi and Ryu/Ken the most obvious. They always make Mario and Luigi the balanced little bit of everything character in every spinoff title.
-
I vote Link
I thought we were friends, demi. :'(
If we're going by fanbases, yeah Sonic's definitely up there. But the character himself? He's gradually gotten more XTREEME over the years, and not in a good way, so yeah, I suppose.
I would probably give the nod to Mario too, since his departure into 3D, Nintendo's made him too cutesy and saccharine.
-
Soooo...if Sonic is the worst gaming mascot, which one is the best?
-
I vote Link

I only gave you money for a future handjob
-

Eh...Gordon Freeman maybe? I like Link, but that not be a popular opinion. I guess Master Chief is pretty cool too.
Oh wait, I have the shittiest one now. The Chocobo.
-
Chocobo is way shittier than Sonic, for sure.
I don't think Gordon Freeman is quite iconic enough to qualify as a gaming mascot.
Master Chief just might be the coolest, right now, even though he just looks like a futuristic BMX biker.
-
Moogles are worse than Chocobos. Wouldn't that be embarrassing, dressing up as one! Who would do that!
-
Wouldn't it be even more embarassing if said person went out in public dressed that way? Say, on a train, maybe?
-
Rayman is a stupid mascot too, and I've always hated Crash (and his games), but i think the worst has to be Jak.
-
tiesto :'(
crash was a pretty awesome mascot i'd say and the games, --the naughty dog ones-- including crash team racing, were great.

Crash was great but the shitty crash games on PS2 ruined any good image he had left from PSX.
-
sonic is a good mascot, it's just that he's appeared in a bunch of shitty games since 99. Sonic Adventure sucked.
Jak sucks. Crash sucks. Rayman, while starring in awesome games, sucks. Mario is a damn plumber, he sucks. Yoshi > Mario
Chocobos do in fact suck. They don't do anything important ever. It's all about Moogles.
The best mascot is Jack Frost.
-
The best mascot is Jack Frost.
Yep.
I'm partial to Climax's fairy Friday from Landstalker, even though the company sucks nowadays. :-\

Of the myriad of furry mascots, Bubsy is probably the worst, and therefor intrinsically the worst mascot.
The BEST is Arthur!

:bow :bow :bow
-
Oh yeah, Bubsy was the ultimate in overhyped, overdone, design-committee drafted "animals with ATTITUDE!" mascots... and his games were absolutely AWFUL, to boot.
-
All the ads always said "The blue dude with the 'tude" or whatever, but WHAT ATTITUDE? Sonic didn't fucking talk or do anything particular special. The games didn't have a story, so what the fuck?
I dunno, I think Crash Bandicoot is the worst.
Absolutely. Never saw the appeal of this character or the games. But those old Playstation commercials with the guy in the Crash suit in front of Nintendo were great.
The first Bubsy game was kind of fun. It went downhill after that.
-
SONICCCCCCCC HE CAN REALLY MOOOOVE
SONICCCCCCCC HE'S GOT AN ATTITUDDDDE
SONICCCCCCCC HE'S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!!! HE'S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!!!!!
-
If we are counting all the Nintendo mascot characters. .. Waluigi is the worst.
-
waluigi isn't even trying!
-
How about Rare's version of Donkey Kong? I hate the rendered look, and I especially HATE all the other kongs they created. Diddy, Dixie... :-X :maf Banjo was nauseating too. But Conker rocked.
waluigi isn't even trying!
He's a Camelot creation, right? Such an awful, awful idea and name.
-
Yeah, Waluigi is so dumb I don't even count him as a bad mascot. He, uh, what's the opposite of "transcends"? mascotdom.
