Sonic Generations - Time Eater (Hard Mode - No Damage + Boss Achievement)

[CyberXIII]

As lame as this fight ultimately was, I have to admit seeing Sonic plow through THE GODDAMN SUN and smash Eggman for good was rather satisfying.

[lokik21]

So I did buy Sonic Generations due to your recommendation ACE and yeah I completely agree with it being damn good where it's good. Just haven't beat it yet is the thing... the Sonic 06 stage seems to hate me a lot...

[legefy]

I have only 1 problem with this boss, NO CRUSH40 ROCK SONG!

[CyberXIII]

@legefy You and me both!

[Magitek1112]

Maybe my memory's failing me, but didn't your "friends" talk in the final battle of SA2, as well?

[TehComs]

@Magitek1112 They didn't seem nearly as chatty if my memory serves. Just things like Sonic and Shadow giving battle cries and the occasional "HURRY UP DUDE, TIME'S RUNNING OUT." Also, Robotnik has absorbed Flame Hyenard.

[Magitek1112]

@TehComs True, though 3D Robotnik/Eggman's -always- been annoying. "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" "YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, THE MORE THE MERRIER!" ect.

[TheAirShooter]

I'm honestly not bothered by your friends sending you messages. I guess years of Starfox 64 has given me the patience to tolarate even Slippy's voice.

[superskeetospro]

I. Hate. This. Boss.

[JosephCollins]

Erm, shouldn't Classic Super Sonic's eyes be green? Or did Sega suddenly decide to be afraid Bird Studio would sue them for making Classic Super Sonic look too much like a Super Saiyan?

[LoZDestroyer]

@JosephCollins Super Saiyans always have blue eyes, though, so there shouldn't be an issue there. But yeah, Classic Super Sonic should have green eyes.

[JosephCollins]

@LoZDestroyer

I'm like... 2000% sure that the Super Saiyan eyes are green. I'm not sure where you got blue from. Maybe you should adjust your TV. :P

[LoZDestroyer]

@JosephCollins Eh, I could be wrong.  I haven't watched Dragonball of any kind in ages.

[Gigaspine7]

It's surreal to hear Robotnik doing twin-like banter with himself.

[Tr0tim]

I don't get it, the game makes fun of its own badly-written characters all the time, allows you to turn off help and then pulls this annoying stuff?

[MDKGunner]

I can't stand how they ruined Shadow's voice he doesn't even sound badass any more

[Pinedx360a]

How do you know if you've been hit? I can never tell! Can't stand this fight, takes ages and I just never seem to be able to get close and run out of time (yes I am holding down boost)

[ACESpark]

@Pinedx360a There's a specific noise that sounds when you get hit. The active Sonic is usually knocked about when it happens too.

Getting hit by debris, the sides of the arena, and apparently the Laser doesn't count as taking damage. Getting hit by these also makes the same sound, so if you want to know what the sound is just go up to the sides.

So basically, getting hit by the Missiles, his Hand, or getting Crushed counts as damage.

The pinch attack kills you outright I think.

[TARDISES]

@ACESpark

maybe they had the Time Eater grab a lot of Drill wisps when they took Planet Wisp for the second time? (the first time obviously being in Colours itself)

[DarksideEXE]

It's more than a homing shot, It's also supporting characters who are trying to beat Omochao at being annoying by not shutting up!

[shalpp]

THAT LOOKS LIKE A HOMING SHOT

[ACESpark]

@shalpp HEY SONIC, IT'S A HOMING SHOT. YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, ALTOUGH YOU'RE COMPLETELY INVUNERABLE. YOU STILL BETTER WATCH OUT.

[shalpp]

wutchout, sunekkkkk.

[ArcticSnail]

I think the boss itself is one of the most badass looking things SEGA has churned out in recent history. I also like the fact that the fight is a bit reminiscent of the Doomsday Zone (and it has epic music to boot).

However, I agree with the sentiment that the voices that didn't belong to the Eggmen ruined the epicness of the fight. It wouldn't be so bad if they only took note of the first time an attack was used, but every single attack? Argh.

[OmegaCoolsterDX]

aside from Sonic "friends" bringing annoyance to a whole new level i mean gosh i could understand some advices once but after that it's "NO SHIT SHERLOCK" and "HAPPY SHUT THE FUCK UP" that's going in your head in this battle. Other than that i enjoyed this battle and the music was awesome (if only his friends could shut up for once, oh well gotta find the OST for this game)

[SolidThugKnuckles]

With astute friends like these, who needs enemies?

[ShadeKetchum]

I have to disagree on most Super Sonic fights being bad. The only ones I found bad are the ones from 06 and the 360 version of Unleashed. This one is good, it's just annoying sometimes. Also, I don't mind Sonic's friends talking to him. Logically, if they're there, why wouldn't they be trying to help him with some info. Since the voice acting is good aswell, that makes it even better. Besides,let's face it, it was either them or Omachao. I think SEGA made the better choice. Great video!

[Firered328]

at 2:50 Za Waurdo?

[UltimaShadow7]

Oh my god, Sonic's friends need to learn when to be quiet. It seriously ruins the mood created by this battle. However, it doesn't look as bad of a final boss as previous 3D Sonic games.

[ACESpark]

@UltimaShadow7 Too right. I could barely hear the music over the constant chatter.

Had the voices only been on with Tutorials turned on (like everything else in the game), it would've been fine. But instead... this one part of the game... Tutorial mode! Ergh. Yeah.

In fact, it would've been better had the voices been turned OFF in Hard Mode. That by itself would've been alright, as it would've served to increase the difficulty in a fair fashion also.

[Mysticpez]

Am I the only one that finds Classic Super Sonic cute?

[AeonCommander]

The two problems I had with the fight are the ring placement and the controls. They drove me nuts. That and the fact that your friends/furries/genetic accidents keep telling you that it's a homing attack even though you heard them the first ten times.

Still, damn good game. Favourite area had to be Rooftop Run, both acts.

[ACESpark]

@AeonCommander I know Rooftop Run had my favourite music in the game, hands down.

My favourite acts are probably City Escape. They went overboard with the G.U.N Truck, and it was so much fun. Rooftop Run and Sky Sanctuary were also very good.

[lokik21]

Did I just see it firing drills as the homing attack?.... the creators liked Gurren Lagann a bit me thinks... also ACE what would you rate this game? This is probably the second Sonic game I've been excited for in a while (aside from that one Sonic Team and Bioware made together for DS a while back)

[ACESpark]

@lokik21 Definately the best Sonic game in years. Based off first thoughts, i'd probably put it up there with some of the retro games. It's not as good as any of those, but when it's good, this game is damn good.

[lokik21]

@ACESpark Well I know where this next paycheck is going now! At least the Steam version is cheaper >> thanks ACE =D

[Kth77]

Hey Ace, did you know that in this boss fight, the boss attacks you? I think the game really wanted you to know that.

[Sawtje2]

I actually think this is one of the better Super Sonic fights.

Not better than Dark Gaia though

[ACESpark]

@Sawtje2 It is. It's not bad at all. Confusing, yes, but not bad.

I do wish your friends would shut up though. Urgh.

[Sawtje2]

@ACESpark

The only thing I find annoying is the placement of the Rings.

I can barely see them!

[ACESpark]

@Sawtje2 That generally seems to be a problem with most of the 3d Super Sonic's i've played.

The background doesn't help in this one though.

[BlackHook13]

Go Team obvious!

[ACESpark]

@BlackHook13 "HEY SONIC, IT'S USING THAT HOMING ATTACK IT'S USED TEN TIMES ALREADY, DO YOU KNOW IT'S HOMING?"

"OH NO IT'S ATTACKING!"

"HEY SONIC, YOUR DRY CLEANING BILL JUST ARRIVED, YOU SHOULD PAY IT!"

"HEY SONIC, I'M GOING DOWN TO SUBWAY, DO YOU WANT A SANDWICH?"

"OH NO IT'S ATTACKING WITH THE HOMING ATTACK, I KNOW IT CAN'T HURT YOU BUT I THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW THIS!"

"HEY SONIC IT'S A BOSS FIGHT!"

[BlackHook13]

@ACESpark Such an headache of an fight. I have seen worse though and its kinda cool to see Eggman finnaly controling the eldrich abomination he found.

[NewZen41]

@ACESpark

It's like StarFox ..only, more talking, more wingmates, and even MORE annoyance, but no enemies chasing your allies..XD
