Small little detail in city escape but there are posters of ray and mighty saying"MISSING SINCE 1993,can you find us?"and also a wanted poster of fang.
1. The drop dash was an idea SEGA and Sonic Team had since S3&K, but no game had implemented it until Mania, five and a half years after Generations. 2. The enemies in Sky Sanctuary are called "Egg Robo". The Hard-Boiled Heavies are specifically the Egg Robos in Mania that were present for the excavation of the Phamtom Ruby, which were then altered by it. 3. The day stages in Unleashed are spectacular, and the night stages are okay. Give it a try if you want.
Anyone coming back here after Sonic X Shadow Generations was announced?

I actually got Sonic Unleashed (Xbox version) for Christmas. Some notes: 1. Rooftop Run is in Italy. The game's plot is indeed a globe trotting adventure. 2. Each continent requires you to find 2 halves of a "Boss key." One is hidden a day and night zone. 3. Scattered throughout the game are Sun and Moon medals. They're not really that hard to find, but you a certain amout of both to unlock all the levels. 4. You can earn exp and level up. Pump it all into Werehog. 5. Speaking of Werehog, I liked it. Felt like classic God of War. The platform wasn't hard, only kinda slow. It's fun unlocking and using new moves though. 6. Eggmanland is only hard first time through. You'll get better again and again. 7. Not every enemy encounter is mandatory. Use that to save time. 8. The Boost and Homing attack are the same button. I've lost so many lives to that. 9. Chip is best bro. 10. Endless Possibilities slaps. It's made by the same band that made the Phineas and Ferb theme. Overall, it took a bit of time, but I absolutely enjoyed Sonic Unleashed. Can't wait to finally see you get to play it, Choc!

Generations was my first Sonic game, so seeing choc play it is really cool. I think I got it as a birthday gift back when the Xbox 360 was still relatively new. It unfortunately made me not play any other Sonic games, because while I found it fun, it felt like it was punishing you for going fast. Mind you I was little and not very good so I definitely need to revisit it.

The reason you're having so much trouble with the boost controls is because unlike frontiers, the boost gameplay in this game is specifically designed to have you boosting at all times, with the challenge being maintaining that boost without hitting obstacles. Watch a glitchless speedrun to see what I mean. Unleashed has this same kind of gameplay except its levels are much more linear so the weird turning isn't really much of an issue most of the time, it mainly just comes down to quick reactions.

The more I forced myself to replay this overrated piece of trash, the less I understand the appeal it has. "Improve" what ? It's pathetically easy and short, and the ridiculous ranking system or the lazily placed Red Star Rings definetely don't incetivize the player in any way. Most of the "alternate paths" are completely useless and redundant, since they ALWAYS bottleneck to the same exact point, at the same time. When they do branch out, you get long, tedious, drawn out, awful sections you are never gonna replay again like the turtle path in Seaside Hill. Modern Rooftop Run is a pathetic joke compared to the original, despite its cheaply placed hazards.

I got Generations for free with my Xbox Gold membership and I figured I might as well give it a try. It was free I haven’t played any Sonic games since I was a child. I had a great time, and the SA2 levels, especially the Shadow mini-boss, had nostalgia hit me like a truck. It ended up getting me back into Sonic, and I’m planning to binge Sonic SatAm and X hopefully soon.
6:40 Honestly I think I liked it because I had the NDS port one, which I think had lot of differences from the Wii one. Also I really like Reach For the Stars. ALSO also, there was a bonus section with the blueprints of the Eggman's robots, which I loved to try to redraw identically.

Colors didn't do nothing but throw a bucket of manure on the franchise by slowly turning it into this awful mix of kid-pandering, nostalgia pandering and trying too hard to be Mario. Generations brainwashed people into thinking a lazy compilation of Hedgehog Engine assets is the best thing since sliced bread. You people deserve Boom and Forces 💀

@@dubhog Mania is an overrated rom hack. Generations is a worthless boost to win nostalgia rehash. And Frontiers is the Halo Infinite of Sonic.
Here’s to hoping the remake has a Black Knight section where Sonic gets to use a sword. It’d be even better if they merged it with the Werehog.
Question for choctopus where did you get the thumbnail art from could you let me know
The first mainline sonic game I owned was the alternative version of unleashed which was on Wii and PS2, I enjoyed it a lot but then I saw the hd version and its differences which inspired me to check out the whole series. Aside from unwiished, I played advance 3 which was fine. But something I want them to make a collection for is the rush series.
I really enjoyed watching this playthrough, this is my favorite game thanks in part to the massive mod support for it! If you are looking for good mods to play I'd highly recommend the Unleashed Project and 06 Project, it reworks the whole game to be all the best levels from both games!
30:03 Love that both Tails' and Classic Sonic protect themselves, but Modern Sonic protects Classic Tails
this video made my day!! you're unbelievably funny choctopus
As someone who has been replaying sonic generations for fun and sonic unleashed for actually trying to beat it since I was stuck as a kid Generations is always fun to revisit and to try cool tricks and Unleashed is just a bit more challenging but remember to strengthen your wearhog and collect all the medals you can to progress story Here's to me beating Sonic unleashed soon

I love 14:40 on this where you just namedrop and defend MEGA Bloks/Construx/MEGA.
Been wanting to watch this video but was playing this for the first time myself and didn’t want spoilers but now I’m here to watch your video
I’m loving this new editing style for the beginning intro
funny as it is, this was actually my first sonic game and I really really loved it, and over the years it's been so cool to play all the sonic games and be like "oh that's where this and that came from"
I felt a bit old when you called the sonic adventure stages the "Gamecube Era" hahaha. The adventure games (1 and 2) were originally released on the dreamcast, Sega's last console.
31:15 Sonic generations was my first ever sonic game, and it was the game that got me into the sonic franchise, and i gotta say, its a really great first impression of sonic games as a whole.
I feel the same about Mario Sunshine. It was so fun as a kid. I remember always asking to go to Walmart to play the display, and then play at friends' houses. Playing it recently on the All-Stars collection was... rough. I would play Odyssey or Galaxy after quiting just to feel good controls again lol. I hope Heroes isn't that way.
It feels so good watching someone enjoy Generations. Love this game. The modding community and the replayability are so good. Please download level mods cuz they are so well designed

Hate it. Always did since it was released, it made me quit Sonic. It's a pathetic, lazy compilation of Hedgehog Engine assets on an Unleashed beta with worse graphics and controls. And Classic Sonic is pitiful, a complete chore to play. Without mods, it's absolutely worthless.

The modding community is pretty much dead. The base game is UNREPLAYABLE because it's barebone. It's just a watered down Unleashed.
Loved this video. Reminds me of playing this when I was younger. I'm gonna miss those days.😊
1 year later and sonic generations is finally getting a remaster and new content...And its actually gonna be on switch 😁 (I have been waiting for it to be on switch since the release)

Honestly, I'd love to see you tackle something a bit more out there than Lost World or Boom. The Storybook Series (Sonic & The Black Knight, Sonic & The Secret Rings) was a favorite of mine as a kid, since the Wii was the first console my parents got me, and they were Wii exclusive. (My Mom said she couldn't NOT get a Wii, it was the only thing on my list for Christmas that year. To this day, she still says it was the hardest thing she's ever gotten her hands on, even with working at an Electronic Store at the time & all the connections that brings). I don't really know how the fandom at large feels about them, but I liked that they did something a little different with Sonic. Taking him into different Classic Literature settings ('King Arthur,' 'The Arabian Nights') was a cool concept I wish got expanded on more, especially given since most of it was Public Domain, there's a LOT of cool things to pull from.

@@Orange_Swirl I wish. people like choch still regard the era as the dark age of sonic despite the story book/unleashed/06 having better story and characterization than 80% of sonic games, (looking at you STH, forces, colors and boom.) The main issue that made people react negatively to them is that their gameplay is rough, but even while 06 is unplayable sometimes, SATBK isn't that bad gameplay wise, though secret rings doesnt quite reach the same height in that regard imo. All of the games from that era have legendary soundtracks though.

26:11 this hits so diferent after the SxSG trailer
Unleashed has some really fun day stages but they're definitely a lot tougher than generations or colors as far as i can tell though there's a lot less 2D segments than both games (still got a bunch but, yknow, in moderation) The werehog of course is gonna be very dependent on the person and mindset going in, my best advice is to experiment with combos and to not go in expecting uh. fast paced gameplay If you do play unleashed your best bet is to play it on xbox series x/s, but if you cant do that just dont get the ps3 version cause the framerate is absolutely abysmal, and the wii and ps2 versions are entirely different games

When choc was drowning as classic sonic in a stage. A meme song played that I haven’t heard in months
As a kid in like 2010 my first Sonic game was adventure 2 on the wii (since the wii could run gamecube discs) and I remember being so insanely disappointed when colours came out. I got like 3 stages in and was like "even though this is boring, surely the chao garden is going to show up soon, right...?"
"Unleashed was a memory that no one will forget"
This was my first real sonic game. Sure, I had Sonic 3 & knuckles on the Wii, but I never made it past the second zone, and I still play generations to this day
Generations was my first sonic game and I had such a blast
