Sonic Unleashed (360) - Dragon Road (Act 4) (Day) - 0:45:44

[PokemonKid100]

Wow, never thought of pausing to view those quick-event things. :P

Nice trick! :)

[trey1177]

cheater

[Groudon0199]

How so?

Is taking a shortcut using features built-in to the game cheating? If so, that would make all shortcuts, including ones intentionally put in the level, cheating. Hell, hugging the inside of a corner could be considered a shortcut, so is THAT cheating?

[trey1177]

yeah but sega really doesnt expect anyone to pause for real time . i mean come on i know you can do it witout pausing

[Groudon0199]

It would be possible, but I'd rather be absolutely sure I get it, so I pause to see what I have to press.

Besides, the fact that Sega didn't expect anyone to pause to see them is a bit speculative. For the Wii and PS2 versions, events like these appear one button at a time on-screen and disappear when the game is paused. Why would they have done something like this for a "stripped-down" version, but not for a "more advanced" version?

[autosaver]

Dimps made the Wii version...

[Groudon0199]

Wouldn't Sonic Team have had to review the levels before putting them in the final product?

[autosaver]

Not really....

[Groudon0199]

So if they wanted to, Dimps could have made the very first level have a huge gap you're supposed to cross but not have anything to get you across?

[autosaver]

wut

[Groudon0199]

You said that Sonic Team wouldn't actually have to review Dimps's levels before putting them in the game. This means that Dimps could make an impossible-to-complete level and have it pass right by Sonic Team.

[jblunamario]

is there a level with an act 5?

[Groudon0199]

Chun-Nan and Spagonia have a daytime act 5 when their respective DLC is downloaded.

[zxclobber]

HAHAHA, that was awesome, but stop cheating (pausing)

[Groudon0199]

If anything, it merely makes it easier to read the button presses and enter them in time. The Sonic Center allows the use of pausing on all games. Therefore, it's not considered cheating.

[Kjrin]

indeed!

y'know... I never thought of doing that... ( That would really help on Eggmanland)

[Shockwave677]

I downloaded this stage pack but it doesn't appear on the stage selection. I even re-downloaded it but nothing happened. Please help.(I have an online account with no data and an offline account with my data and achievements where I play my games in case that makes a difference)

[Groudon0199]

It sounds like, since you downloaded the pack with your online account (without any existing data), you can't use it with your offline account.

I'm doing a quick playthrough with another gamertag to see if that's the case.

[autosaver]

Did you gear this pack fixes the quiz lady glitch and the patch doesn't?

lol

[Groudon0199]

I've heard that and experienced it. It also fixes a glitch involving the game freezing when Chip's happiness exceeds a certain amount.

[draciball]

But if you do download DLC you cant do a Speed Run for Lap levels

[Groudon0199]

Where are you getting this from? Downloading the DLC only adds levels to the game. It doesn't block anything.

[draciball]

Dude it blocks the patches

[Groudon0199]

What do you mean it "blocks the patches"? Not long after second DLC pack, another patch was released, which I successfully downloaded.

[draciball]

You mean the Spagonia DLC patches Actually re-allow the trick again?

[Groudon0199]

If you mean the trick to skip a lap on Spagonia's day act 2, no. That is fixed when the game is patched, not from downloading DLC. Removing the patch allows the trick to work again, though you can't play DLC until you re-patch it.

[trey1177]

on the ps3 now the patch is free and you just buy the packs

[finalrush7]

Haven't tried speedrunning that one yet, but this seems like a really good run. Well done.

[cb2198]

Nice. What's your opinion on this DLC? I'm thinking about getting it (when it's released on PSN...).

Oh, and :43 was lame. :\

[Groudon0199]

Day acts 1-2 and 2-2 are very difficult, day acts 4 and 5 aren't too difficult after the first play, and the night acts 1-2 and 3 are pretty easy. Overall, it's worth a buy if you enjoy the game.

I did that thing at 0:43 because I think it saves time (then again, looking back at it, it seems it might be slightly slower).

[cb2198]

Yeah, but boosting into the wall took about half a second away... XD.

[Groudon0199]

That was actually the first time I made the shortcut, so I didn't have an idea as to when to boost exactly.

[frankoredstrato]

looks really hard, very well done with great shortcuts

[ShadowJacky]

you're insane
