Rant - Sonic 4 Episode 1 (Video By RandomDCE)

[Rexeljet]

My only real main complaint is that the game shouldn't be called Sonic 4. I don't mean that like "How dare such a bad game carry on from the numbering of the classic trilogy!" but rather the fact that it just doesn't seem like a sequel. It seems more like "Sonic 1.5" rather than 4. I mean there's literally no story, there's no characters aside from Sonic and Eggman, yet it's said to have started where S&K left off. You'd expect more explanation about the chaos emeralds and a grittier story.

@Rexeljet

never mind the fact it's in eps. drep

[Rexeljet]

@deviltetsuo555...

In Sonic 3, which takes place a few months or perhaps years after Sonic 2, not everything goes back to square 1 at the start, does it? Tails is still with Sonic, and the things introduced in Sonic 2 are still present in Sonic 3. In Sonic 4 episode 1, the elemental shields are missing, the act 1 bosses are missing, bonus stages are missing, Tails is missing, you get my drift.

Tell that to the Defence Research Establishment Pacific.

[Musharrafshah]

yeah but not released on disc game

[Musharrafshah]

cool game i like it

[Musharrafshah]

is it on ps3?

[velocityeleven]

@Musharrafshah yes

[drifter402]

i was pissed that people only wanted the same as the originals. they wanted nothing new. i mean sonic 4 was just like a tribute with old levels and ideas.

[Purpleisawesome93]

My only real complaint...It's too easy!

[SweaterSwagg]

The only reasonable complaint is the price....15 dollars/points times 3 episodes is 45 bucks! Other than that, I hope these episodes have a lock-on feauture like Sonic 3 and Knuckles to connect all the episodes!

[bardhi09]

@SweaterSwagg Umm yes....that is the only reasonable complaint uhum.The Broken Physics,The Awful Level Design,The Rehashed Levels,The Rehashed Bosses,The Rehashed Badniks,The Rehashed Final Boss are totally biased complaints *Sarcasm*!

[kaihedgie]

@bardhi09 Why are you still whining about this after five months

[bardhi09]

@kaihedgie Cuz i fukin want to!

[velocityeleven]

@kaihedgie what difference does the timing make?

[deviltetsuo555]

@bardhi09

there's nothing bad or rehashed about the levels tho. you wanted classic looking levels and that is what you got.

[bardhi09]

@deviltetsuo555 Yes there is they all are rehashed from Sonic 1 and 2.No I didnt you fucking moron stop putting words in my mouth.As a matter of fact nobody wanted rehashes.We wanted a Sequel with the Same Gameplay(which we didnt get at all) with New Original Levels so STFU!

[SonicandInuyasha]

I still love RandomDCE to this day.

[RayKidd227]

i hate faggots who think a game sucks because of 2 SECONDS of gameplay.And bitching over a character model?Are you shitting me?

[RobbanFoxer]

well... i know you arentRandomDCE... but i have to say this. The thumbstick complain isnt that stupid, i think it took it for a diffrent angle if you know what i mean... I think they mean that the momentum is non existing. That if your flying threw the air and then slip your thumb on the thumbsstick. Sonic shouldnt just go twise as fast down to the endless pit and die like that. And its not only in air its everywhere. I still like the game for what it is, but its a bit too expencive.

[bardhi09]

@DCE If you're reading this comment WTF are you talking about the level design is shit compared to the classics and the Physics(which equal gameplay) are not like in the classic which were the best things about the classic arent there in sonic 4 and that is a huge dissapontment

[bardhi09]

Ugly Prerendered Sprites

[koolsk8ter111]

I don't really like the werehog that much either, but I'm not going on the Internet bitching. I hated sonic unleashed mostly because you had to collect the sun and moon medals, an if you miss one, you have to start over again, I thought that was a cheap gimmick to make the game longer.

[bardhi09]

@koolsk8ter111 Actually i hated Sonic Unleeashed becuz of the Daytime Stages the Werehog stages could work for another separate video game but the Daytime Stages were just a claustrophobic mess running all the time with little to no platforming Check NickonAquaMagna's review on it you'll understand what im talking about(Though wait till he reuploads it cuz he accidentally deleted most of his vids :P)

[koolsk8ter111]

@bardhi09 Your right that was a problem too. I miss the sonic adventure/sonic heroes style platforming/speed gameplay, that was actually inovative. Now the daytime levels are just a cheap gimmick to make the game good without hard work on the game development.

[bardhi09]

@koolsk8ter111 actually thats the point it didnt make it good for people who know what's a good game when they see one

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 I know a good game when I see one, and I enjoyed Sonic Unleashed.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox OMG you really do not know a good game when you see one! I mean what was great about Sonic Unleashed it was go fast non-stop with little to no platforming it was like a racing game more then a Sonic Game.If you like Sonic Unleashed over Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 then you dont know what a good sonic game is NUFF SAID!

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 Ok so basically your saying that, in terms of the daytime levels, just because it contains very little platforming, and mostly speed, which by the way, the fans actually ASKED for, it's a bad game.

It does not need to contain a balanced amount of platforming and speed to be a good game.

Sonic 06 had a marginal balance between speed and platforming, and we all know how that game turned out.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox The fans didnt ask for speed you moron! Only the Modern Sonic Fanboys did not the Genesis/Adventure fans!

Sonic 06' was heading in the right direction its just the proggraming was very poor and the gameplay was really messed up! So shut UP!

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Sonic 06 was a terrible game.

And I apologise If i didn't elaborate on what fans we're talking about here.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox well the new sonic fans are prety much speed junkies and think sonic is only about speed!

And if the proggraming was great and the gameplay was great Sonic 06' would be a good game(the story would still be shit but that doesnt affect the gameplay)

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 I agree, it had alot of potential, that's why it's so notorious among the fans.

I don't think Sonic should be all about speed, i'm just saying that you can't judge a game based on what it doesn't offer, unless it's a necessity.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox So platforming in a sonic game is not a necessity.Are you saying you'd be satisified with a sonic game where sonic runs non-stop in a straight line till you reach the end? Cuz that is what unleashed is if you take out the 2D parts!

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 Well, no, it's not a necessity, it's a preference, some people prefer sonic to run non-stop, some don't.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox But sonic running non-stop without any sort of challenge would be like watching a movie(same could be said about Sonic Rush,Rush Adventure) not like playing a game!

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 again, some prefer it, some don't.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox Okay so to those faggots video gaming is about watching a movie thats great!(NOT!)!

[RileyBlackfox]

@bardhi09 indeed.

[bardhi09]

@RileyBlackfox I cant believe how ignorant some people can be!

[RileyBlackfox]

@koolsk8ter111 If the daytime levels had no work put in to them, it would turn out like the mach stages in sonic 06.

[TheWinstonVlog]

Thanks for giving me a link to his blip.tv account. I tried asking for it awhile ago from him but he didn't respond back.

[BaconStein]

I heard the acceleration thing is just an illusion due to them giving him an actual walking animation in the newer games instead of just going from standing to jogging like in the old games, so he seems slower but really isn't. I'm not sure how true that is because I haven't played the game myself yet,but the stopping on a dime thing does sound a little awkward to me. I agree that it's not even about having fun anymore. People have been tearing this game apart from the beginning.

[BaconStein]

It's a shame that such a well-made game will never get the recognition it deserves just because of the NAME. Not giving Unleashed credit just because of the Werehog (another pathetic criticism imo, but that's another story) was one thing, but this is getting ridiculous. If it was called Sonic Advance 4 or something, everyone would love it regardless of how "true" it is to the originals, which is entirely subjective anyway in that regard.

[AdvertisePlay]

I only upset that they copyright claimed me for making 8bit versions of their songs! The fuckers!!! >=(

[DemonicRemption]

Oh God... I had to pause when he said people are still bi&^%ing and moaning about Sonic 4. Why complain about a modern take on a classic?

[jerphunter]

This guy doesn't know what the hell hes talking about...Take notes? HA this guy needs to go do something else with his free time. Not fuck with a series he knows nothing about. >>;

[ThePrinceOfMoose]

I saw the commentary for this video first before I even saw this, you mean to tell me this video hasn't even been out for a day and there is already a commentary on it? Jesus Christ.

Call me a DCE fanboy if you want but I am tired of this. It's getting to the point now where it's "Just because it is DCE" there has to be some sort of rebuttal or commentary. There are so much better things to do.

[SolarisParadox]

Is there any particular reason why comment boxes aren't appearing on videos that don't have comments yet right now?

[velocityeleven]

@SolarisParadox blame youtube
