insta like+fav, i already subbed to you cause of the sonic 2 review, but right now i'm un-subbing... just to sub again (i know it sounds pointless but whatever i'm just having fun and you can't stop me)
Well, I know you don't want to talk about Sonic anymore...But, I heard that SEGA is trying something that is apparently completly different in the next game. (Not talking about anything to do about Sonic 4)
It is stupid that Gligar gets visually disoriented by all sorts of things in the background when everyone else (except for the people over at EDGE magazine) have no problem with it.
@Gligar13Vids ...But I CAN. Most people who play this game CAN. It really is downright strange that you appear to have a problem distinguishing what's there and what's not.
@pkstarstorm1up What's he gonna do? Flag the review for "hate speech"? All I did was disagree with something he said. He should have NO problem with that.
@NickonAquaMagna2 You don't know him then. He thinks that anyone with a different opinion then his is a fanboy and that all Sonic games besides the Genesis games suck. He made a commentary bashing @ShadSilvson11 for commentating on a horrible review of Shadow the Hedgehog by Xplay (they were making the game out to be racist because the monsters are called the Black Aliens and not the White aliens)
Just saying he might bash this review in a commentary so sorry.
@pkstarstorm1up Yeah, well, we'll see who people find more sensible and can agree with in that case. Yeah, I'm sure he'll pwn me SOOO hard and make look REALLY stupid (sarcasm).
I really wanted DLC for this game, such as levels (see my previous comment) or music, but I doubt SEGA/Sonic Team will do that beyond the one they did as a preorder bonus.
this video didnt show up in my subs box so im a bit late but all i have to say is, OMFG THAT WAS TOTALLY AWSOMLEY AMAZINGLY SO AWESOME /)^3^/) (did a bit of a mlp reference there.. do oyu stil lwatch MLP FiM?)
As regards to Modern City Escape, my main complaint with it is the main 3D area is too short. I personally feel that too much of the level is dominated by the street board and GUN truck segments (though the street board is easily the best boarding segment in Sonic history). One level that I've been liking more and more is Modern Speed Highway.
@GODEYE270115 It's hard to say. On one hand, he's one of the most popular characters in the entire series besides Sonic, yet at the same time, he gets a shitload of hate. Perhaps someday, if people really wanted to see more of him, maybe, but it seems people just can't make up their minds.
It was sure a long way for Sonic, and even in his brightest or darkest hours, Sonic still remains unstoppable (for better or for worse). Yep, it was long, but it was interesting to hear your reviews, and the prevoius ones of course. Let's just hope that Dimensions become a good start for the new Sonic games.
And if you really are going to review fan games, I sugest you look up "Eggman Hates Furries"... If it doesn't blow your mind.
@SantuXD6 "Let's just hope that Dimensions become a good start for the new Sonic games"
SEGA's been coming out with good Sonic games since 2009 starting with the release of Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing. Only one game received negative reviews, and that was Sonic Free Riders, so yeah, Sonic's been back for 3 years now.
@NickonAquaMagna2 You're one of those people that knows all about how to design a Sonic Level with multiple routes, a balance of Speed and Platforming, big, wide open spaces, several different obstacles, and you think SEGA wouldn't hire you?
I would have to disagree with your comment at 41:14, about if the gameplay is good, then the story line is insignificant. In my opinion, a story is never insignificant. Stories, in my opinion, are what make video games fun. And yes, to me, stories are more important than game play. And if the game designers don't have a story, how can they make the game play or graphics? Stories, to me, are the core of a video game.
@ModnartheJuba Well, yeah, there should be some rhyme and reason behind why you're in the game's world and who the villain is and how everything works, but to say that's more important than how the game actually plays makes it sound as if it doesn't have to be fun to play. As if it's okay for a game to be sloppy, bland, repetitive, even downright unplayable, as long as there's loads of cutscenes, which I think defeats the whole point of making these games and not just movies.
@NickonAquaMagna2 That is the only reason why i forced myself to beat Final Fantasy 3 for the DS. if it wasn't for the story i would have stopped playing the game very fast. i just HATE random encounters, and i will never play FF3 again. SO i got to say a Story can be more important then the gameplay sometimes as long as the game is so bugged that it is more annoying to play.
The funny thing is that I got Sonic 06 after Generations and Crisis City was probably the most worked-on level in Sonic 06, it's like it was the first stage they ever worked on, I really liked Crisis City and hated Kingdom Valley. In Sonic Generations, however, they made Crisis City so well it's like the stage is saying "Get over Sonic 06 and watch how much better I've become", so yeah, I didn't really like the fact that Silver turned people away from this game.
@pkstarstorm1up In kingdom valley (As Shadow) there's this short running section and if you do any form of steering you go flying in one direction to your doom and don't get me started on the Hovercraft and Rouge sections (As Sonic) Speed Section 'nuff said (As Silver) Whenever the floating box skims the water it kills me and I drown.
@TehComentar I have no idea what you mean by flying to your doom. The only gripes I have with Shadow's Kingdom Valley is that it gets way to combat oriented near the end. I love Rouge's section because it's really fun. The Wall glitch only happens on one wall and once you know which wall that is you can avoid it, her bombs are really powerful, and it actually makes a treasure hunting stage fun unlike in SA2.
@pkstarstorm1up The hover craft blows up randomly, Rouge can't jump off of ANY wall, Her bombs are shit, The treasure hunting stages in SA2 didn't have you cling to wall you could never jump off of, A floating box shouldn't explode by touching it, The keys are stupid easy to find and Sonic speed section, what does flame core have that makes it broken? a stupid wall that even if you fall off of you can still recover.
@TehComentar Flame Core's other problems are the fact that you can't see the Meteorites coming down from the sky and if they hit you when you are through a Bumper you will fall to your doom. Then there is the possibility of running into the fire even though you can't do anything to stop it during the second half.
What's wrong with Kingdom Valley's Mach Speed Zone? It's the best one and is very awesome.
@pkstarstorm1up I can see the Meteorites as clear as day, they never crash into you in sequences and what fire. Just about everything, In Wave Ocean's I was a empty field, Crisis City had short walls you could jump over and Kingdom Valley has high ledges and if you move to the right a little bit you could go crashing in to nothing and then die.
@pkstarstorm1up My only complaint in Flame Core is the Knuckles and Rouge section where the light orb shut off if it takes less then a minute to activate at least 4 of them.
I Was So Happy To Hear You Say " Sonic Adventure 2 Was When The Sonic Games Started Going Downhill " I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT? THANK GOD! SA2B Had Exactly Enough Reasons To Be The Start Of Sonic's Trip Down Hill. Sonic Adventure 1 However Was Phenomenal! Great Work NickonAquaMagna2 ! (I Hope You Reply!)
@Jonicvsmario Hey, no prob. Some misguided purists will say that the jump to 3D at all is what "killed" Sonic, but while SA2 was still a good game, it sewed the seeds that would slowly but steadily infect later games.
@NickonAquaMagna2 I have not got there, but i hope you mean that it caused the others downfall, because honestly, SA2B was my favorite sonic game. havn't played generations yet.
@NickonAquaMagna2 Hey Nick I'm having a problem deciding which game I like more SA2 or Unleashed. I mean I enjoy Sonic and Shadow's levels much more in Adventure 2 then the Boost to win formula in Unleashed but at the same time I enjoy the Werehog more then the other playable characters in SA2 because of the really good amount of 3D platforming in the Nighttime stages.
A long review, but a good one nonetheless. Well done.
Gotta say, love how everyone right in the head can enjoy this game and talk about all it did right and such.
FYI gameinformer's review isn't the worst, worst one I've seen is Zero Punctuation's. Simply put, "I hate this game because it takes levels from later Sonic games and I can't adjust to different gameplay styles. Also stupid side characters make appearances which apparently has an impact on the gameplay and worsens the game."
To be honest, there are very few games Yahtzee likes. You don't really watch his reviews to hear his opinions on the game because to be honest, they're always worthless. You watch them more for the wit and humour.
@SiLeNtDo0m Can I be honest with you, I never found Yahtzee funny. Ever. He's just a stingy nitpicker and I really just see no appeal in the guy whatsoever
@TheAstuteConman yeah but the thing about ZP is he's like an AVGN or something, he finds flaws in games for entertainment. His satire isn't comparable to GI's serious informative review on the game in any way.
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE I think you misunderstand. Hear me out: you can have your opinion on a game. As long as you back it up with VALID points that demonstrate what weakens the game in your eyes. Then I can actually understand and maybe sympathize with the aforementioned opinion.
For example, I despise Metroid Prime 2. But I can tell you flat-out WHY it sucks, and it's not "because this area looks stupid" or some nitpicky stuff.
@TheAstuteConman but you're talking about an actual review. Like something you'd see on IGN. and there's really not much he needs to back up. he said he didn't like the characters so yeah...can't argue with that. he didn't like'm
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE The hell does that have to do with anything? Yahtzee is a reviewer. A reviewer's job is to make a point about something while BACKING IT UP properly. In my eyes, he fails in that respect in several of his reviews and just seems like he's going out of his way to find why a game sucks.
@TheAstuteConman See at the end of the day his videos are jokes. And when someone starts overanalyzing this shit, it just gets silly. Thats what my point had to do with what you say. your statement'd be more valid if IGN said those things. the end~
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE Whatever. I see no appeal in Yahtzee's videos. I've seen satirical reviews plenty of times, but Yahtzee just fails in that respect in my opinion.
I would like to see what you think about Sonic The Dark Brotherhood. Bioware is my fave company, and i would like to know how their take on Sonic was.
I think i could have liked the minigames in this game if there were less of them. When i found out how many there were i just felt overwhelmed. I am the kind of guy that tried to get an S rank on all of them, so I just really didn't like most of them
One thing i found that made me groaned was that they had a level from Sonic 06 in this. Wasn't that game so bad that they really did get rid of that game from the official time line. just dis-canon it from the game series? kind of like what Nintendo did from the CDi Zelda games? So does this mean it is canon again?
@linkomega123 The game is still canon. Just because the events of the game never happened doesn't mean it's not canon as both Sonic and Elise both remember what happened.
Try typing "Sonic Dimensions" in a search engine. The only results that contain any actual content (as opposed to text involving the rumor) are videos of a fan game of the same name. I think it's one of those Blitz Sonic games.
38:00 Thank you!! Finally someone who appreciates Roger Craig Smith's work. I can't tell you how many idiots out there actually blamed him for being a bad actor. I mean have they ever heard his voice work before? It's the voice directors fault. They son't give the actors the freedom to express their potential at times. Kind of like the acting in the Twilight movies.
I love how the "professional" critics always bitched about crappy controls. Honestly sonic game controls haven't had issues since secret rings or sonic 06 had messed up controls if were only counting main story games. Seriously though you can't take any popular reviewing site seriously when it comes to sonic. They're always gonna be on there menstrual hate induced wagon despite the fact that the hedgehog is getting his rep back.
I'm assuming this game is next to adventure on your sonic games list.
And have you ever thought of signing up on the Sega forums? It's a good place to state your opinions.

@pkstarstorm1up In kingdom valley (As Shadow) there's this short running section and if you do any form of steering you go flying in one direction to your doom and don't get me started on the Hovercraft and Rouge sections (As Sonic) Speed Section 'nuff said (As Silver) Whenever the floating box skims the water it kills me and I drown.

@TehComentar I have no idea what you mean by flying to your doom. The only gripes I have with Shadow's Kingdom Valley is that it gets way to combat oriented near the end. I love Rouge's section because it's really fun. The Wall glitch only happens on one wall and once you know which wall that is you can avoid it, her bombs are really powerful, and it actually makes a treasure hunting stage fun unlike in SA2.
pkstarstorm1up 1 month ago
@pkstarstorm1up The hover craft blows up randomly, Rouge can't jump off of ANY wall, Her bombs are shit, The treasure hunting stages in SA2 didn't have you cling to wall you could never jump off of, A floating box shouldn't explode by touching it, The keys are stupid easy to find and Sonic speed section, what does flame core have that makes it broken? a stupid wall that even if you fall off of you can still recover.
TehComentar 1 month ago
@pkstarstorm1up While the only issue in Flame core is the wall, which you can easily recover from instead of instantly dying.

@TehComentar Flame Core's other problems are the fact that you can't see the Meteorites coming down from the sky and if they hit you when you are through a Bumper you will fall to your doom. Then there is the possibility of running into the fire even though you can't do anything to stop it during the second half.
What's wrong with Kingdom Valley's Mach Speed Zone? It's the best one and is very awesome.
pkstarstorm1up 1 month ago
@pkstarstorm1up I can see the Meteorites as clear as day, they never crash into you in sequences and what fire. Just about everything, In Wave Ocean's I was a empty field, Crisis City had short walls you could jump over and Kingdom Valley has high ledges and if you move to the right a little bit you could go crashing in to nothing and then die.

@pkstarstorm1up My only complaint in Flame Core is the Knuckles and Rouge section where the light orb shut off if it takes less then a minute to activate at least 4 of them.

I Was So Happy To Hear You Say " Sonic Adventure 2 Was When The Sonic Games Started Going Downhill " I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT? THANK GOD! SA2B Had Exactly Enough Reasons To Be The Start Of Sonic's Trip Down Hill. Sonic Adventure 1 However Was Phenomenal! Great Work NickonAquaMagna2 ! (I Hope You Reply!)

@Jonicvsmario Hey, no prob. Some misguided purists will say that the jump to 3D at all is what "killed" Sonic, but while SA2 was still a good game, it sewed the seeds that would slowly but steadily infect later games.

@NickonAquaMagna2 I have not got there, but i hope you mean that it caused the others downfall, because honestly, SA2B was my favorite sonic game. havn't played generations yet.

@NickonAquaMagna2 Hey Nick I'm having a problem deciding which game I like more SA2 or Unleashed. I mean I enjoy Sonic and Shadow's levels much more in Adventure 2 then the Boost to win formula in Unleashed but at the same time I enjoy the Werehog more then the other playable characters in SA2 because of the really good amount of 3D platforming in the Nighttime stages.

@NickonAquaMagna2 Exactly! And BTW, I Liked The Night time Stages In Sonic Unleashed As Well!

A long review, but a good one nonetheless. Well done.
Gotta say, love how everyone right in the head can enjoy this game and talk about all it did right and such.
FYI gameinformer's review isn't the worst, worst one I've seen is Zero Punctuation's. Simply put, "I hate this game because it takes levels from later Sonic games and I can't adjust to different gameplay styles. Also stupid side characters make appearances which apparently has an impact on the gameplay and worsens the game."

@TheAstuteConman
To be honest, there are very few games Yahtzee likes. You don't really watch his reviews to hear his opinions on the game because to be honest, they're always worthless. You watch them more for the wit and humour.

@SiLeNtDo0m Can I be honest with you, I never found Yahtzee funny. Ever. He's just a stingy nitpicker and I really just see no appeal in the guy whatsoever

@TheAstuteConman yeah but the thing about ZP is he's like an AVGN or something, he finds flaws in games for entertainment. His satire isn't comparable to GI's serious informative review on the game in any way.

@SHADOWtehULTIMATE Yeah, so it's hilarious to go "I hate [game that is actually good] because of minuscule reasons that are rarely good points."
Except not. I'll take a serious review stating someone's actual opinion backed up by valid points over that absolute TRITE any day of the damn week.

@TheAstuteConman if you're honestly that sensitive about people talking shit about your favourite games you shouldn't be on the internet
SHADOWtehULTIMATE 1 month ago
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE I think you misunderstand. Hear me out: you can have your opinion on a game. As long as you back it up with VALID points that demonstrate what weakens the game in your eyes. Then I can actually understand and maybe sympathize with the aforementioned opinion.
For example, I despise Metroid Prime 2. But I can tell you flat-out WHY it sucks, and it's not "because this area looks stupid" or some nitpicky stuff.

@TheAstuteConman I like Metroid Prime 2, but I agree with your sentiment whole heartedly. It's something I practice in my videos whenever I can.

@TheAstuteConman but you're talking about an actual review. Like something you'd see on IGN. and there's really not much he needs to back up. he said he didn't like the characters so yeah...can't argue with that. he didn't like'm

SHADOWtehULTIMATE 1 month ago
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE The hell does that have to do with anything? Yahtzee is a reviewer. A reviewer's job is to make a point about something while BACKING IT UP properly. In my eyes, he fails in that respect in several of his reviews and just seems like he's going out of his way to find why a game sucks.
TheAstuteConman 1 month ago
@TheAstuteConman See at the end of the day his videos are jokes. And when someone starts overanalyzing this shit, it just gets silly. Thats what my point had to do with what you say. your statement'd be more valid if IGN said those things. the end~
SHADOWtehULTIMATE 1 month ago
@SHADOWtehULTIMATE Whatever. I see no appeal in Yahtzee's videos. I've seen satirical reviews plenty of times, but Yahtzee just fails in that respect in my opinion.

I think i could have liked the minigames in this game if there were less of them. When i found out how many there were i just felt overwhelmed. I am the kind of guy that tried to get an S rank on all of them, so I just really didn't like most of them
linkomega123 1 month ago
One thing i found that made me groaned was that they had a level from Sonic 06 in this. Wasn't that game so bad that they really did get rid of that game from the official time line. just dis-canon it from the game series? kind of like what Nintendo did from the CDi Zelda games? So does this mean it is canon again?
linkomega123 1 month ago
@linkomega123 The game is still canon. Just because the events of the game never happened doesn't mean it's not canon as both Sonic and Elise both remember what happened.

Try typing "Sonic Dimensions" in a search engine. The only results that contain any actual content (as opposed to text involving the rumor) are videos of a fan game of the same name. I think it's one of those Blitz Sonic games.

38:00 Thank you!! Finally someone who appreciates Roger Craig Smith's work. I can't tell you how many idiots out there actually blamed him for being a bad actor. I mean have they ever heard his voice work before? It's the voice directors fault. They son't give the actors the freedom to express their potential at times. Kind of like the acting in the Twilight movies.

I love how the "professional" critics always bitched about crappy controls. Honestly sonic game controls haven't had issues since secret rings or sonic 06 had messed up controls if were only counting main story games. Seriously though you can't take any popular reviewing site seriously when it comes to sonic. They're always gonna be on there menstrual hate induced wagon despite the fact that the hedgehog is getting his rep back.
