It;s not hard to understand peoples disdain for modern Sonic. The original Sonic games were some of the best games in their genre. The new Sonic games are nothing but mediocre license whoring. I don't think anyone would complain about the series changing if it were changing for the better, but you'd have a hard time convincing anyone that crappy voice acting, sloppy controls, useless new characters, boring cutscenes, absurd loading times, and bland graphics are improvements over the original games.
