A time where there was no such thing as "casuals" vs. "hardcore players"? A time where people wouldn't shit on each other for liking different games and where a conversation between two gamers pretty much went like: "OMG you play games too? Niiiicceeeee! Wanna come over to my house and have a round of Smash Bros/Street Fighter/Mario Party/ (other popular 90s titles)?" ......... The 90s ladies and gentlemen.......... what have we done?

People really need to learn to LISTEN. So many people who enjoy modern sonic games are getting up in arms over absolutely nothing. He never said modern sonic sucked, he never said modern sonic was terrible. What he basically said is that the modern sonics are not very stable, sometimes they are pretty damn good sometimes they are just meh and then other times its more like "WTF IS THIS?!" He also said something to the extent of "Some of them came close to being as good as the older games" which means he admits that some of the modern sonic games were pretty good. Yeah he still said they aren't as good but he absolutely did not say all modern sonic games were trash. People are allowed to have opinions, stop acting like someones opinions are somehow victimizing your own, they aren't especially in cases like this....he didn't even attack modern sonic you are just making it SOUND like he did...do you NEED to feel like your opinions are being attacked? because they arent.

@fpberserk4690

You fail at justifying hypocrisy. If being "unstable" is a great issue then that logic easily applies to the classic games,borderline bad level design and several game breaking bugs is far from being different or better than what the modern games have. Again,putting the classics in such a high place is hardly being fair or giving a real review instead of a biased opinion ,games like Generations and Unleashed are easily on par with most of the classics. Having an opinion isn't an excuse for that,the opinion excuse cab easily be used against him.Without mentioning that it still won't justify the Classic Games dickriding.

5:14 It used to be most had horses and the rich had cars, now most have cars and the rich have horses.

I swear, every self-proclaimed "Sonic fan" with a decent KZread following all of a sudden wants to hate on Colors and Generations. Flawed and not perfect sure, but don't undermine those games. Colors being so good led to Generations, which has eventually lead to that small boost Sonic needed to even arrive here at Mania and Forces.

Gotta love all the butt hurt fans in the comments mincing Jirard's words to make it seem like he hates every Sonic game since the first few. "Good" does not equal "amazing" or "truly incredible". Good does not mean trash. Matt even says "...there's been a handful of stand out Sonic titles since the good old days and a few have them have even come really close to recapturing the magic of those first few classic game, but none of them have been quite able to match the style or quality of the games...". As he called the first few "amazing" it's hard to argue that any future Sonic game reached those heights. There's no doubt that some of them were good or even great, but maybe not on the same level as the classics. And this folks is what we call an OPINION. You don't have to agree with it. You can think the classic games are terrible and that's fine. But that doesn't give any prick the right to disrespect others views, no matter how unpopular it may be. I don't like the classic games. I don't like the Adventure games. Does that mean I'm not a "true" Sonic fan? Fuck no. I'm very interested in the series, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I know this is a lot to ask for on the internet, especially with Sonic. But I'm insane, and sick and tired of seeing all the same shit on every Sonic Mania/Forces video.

Everyone probably roasted it so much, that the creators just said nobody likes it, let’s pull it off of TV. When in fact I’m sure there are many people who liked it, and enjoyed watching it, more than there were people hating it and saying it was bad. And by roasting in saying it’s bad, I’m talking about the people who are crapping on the 3-D games. Yes there were some bad ones, but there were some good ones too. And the fact that people are forgetting about other games that exist in the sonic universe. TLDR, the naysayers are the fact that the show isn’t on TV anymore.

It's actually good to see a classic franchise go back to its roots. This, along with Crash (no need to get competitive) finally received the treatment it needed, although I personally wish that the Crash remasters had some new levels.

The dream: when that game you loved as a child, instead of reinventing itself, simply grows up with you. Maybe others grew up with Sonic Adventure, Sonic Racing, etc., and that's cool. For those of us who grew up with Sonic 1, 2, and 3, and Sonic & Knuckles, all we really ever wanted was for that same series to pick up where it left off. Give us our pinball machine 2-D gameplay, give us our throw-caution-to-the-wind roller coaster loops and obstacles, give us our funky maybe-or-maybe-not-Michael Jackson instrumentals, give us cameos from those obscure characters you promised us (I saw that Hornet truck!), and give it to us all... over... again. But better. That's the formula. We will always light up like kids on Christmas when they stick to that formula.

You know, i always read hydrocity as hydrocity, kinda similar to the phenomenon of reading lead as lead, or read as read. Weird, isn’t it?

I love the big the cat joke. Also the sonic music joke!

This is some premium platforming/arcading/pinballing stuff with a great sense of flow, rythm, and speed. Nice OST, too. Really nice design overall. Go get it!

Some part of me feels like the large majority of the sonic fandom ignores the fact that sonic handheld games exist

Cant wait for your Sonic Forces Completionist Episode, I know most people hated It, bought I loved It, and I want to see what you say about It, specially when we both love to complete games 100 %, those 40 bucks where worth my while.

17:54 I've never seen gameplay footage that hurts before!

The Sonic Mania review drinking game! -take a shot every time someone says they waited a really long time for this. -take a shot every time they hate on modern sonic (double if its the obvious 06, boom, or forces joke). -take a shot every time someone brings up nostalgia pandering as a selling point. -take a shot everytime they say this is the best sonic game in years If anyone is crazy enough to try this, they WILL DIE. Regradless, any extra ideas?

New stages are AWESOME... The whole game is AWESOME! ^^

seeing flying battery, hydrocity and lava reef return brought back so many childhood memories of sonic 3 & knuckles, it being the first sonic game I ever played

I can honestly say this is on the top 5 (maybe even top 3) for my favorite games for this year

God I can imagine when forces gets released the classic sonic fans start Bitching about the game

Sonic mania is every sonic lovers dream come true I was so happy when I first played it!

People, we're here for Sonic Mania, not starting arguments about Sonic's previous games! Both sides need to chill out and try respecting each other. Just let people share their opinions and have a rational discussion about it like you would irl instead of getting triggered and writing rude comments. Unless you aren't capable of doing that, in which case you shouldn't have access to the internet in the first place.

*Mania Plus drops in two weeks.* *Watches Completionist episode* Jirard: Mighty and Ray are still dead. Me: Not so fast.

TOVG's facial expressions when Ted says Crush 40 just slaughtered me hahahaha.

Tanner Price I know a lot about these things. Forces has a high chance of ending being great. The problem is that Mania is a whole different thing, it is a new kind of thing. Mania is like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but Forces, Generations and Colors are like a Marvel movie: good but not revolutionary.

underrated opionion

Man, this video reminds me of the original sonic rush for the DS. :) I loved that game. The bosses were so cool.

I never played a Sonic game, so this is 100% new to me! Yay

Lesson we learned: Dont test remakes with noobs

17:03 But then the DLC revived them!

Honestly my first intro to sonic was adventure 2 but then I played the remastered classics and fell in love so while I'm not a true sonic fan mania is still amazing

Ian Jones Quartey actually helped with the animated intro and made the underrated masterpiece Ok K.O let’s be heroes.

I wish "3d fans" would stop getting angry every time someone says, quite honestly, that they are not great games. I'm the same age as sonic and I have watched the trend and understand everything about recent sonic frustrations. The short and sweet version: 2d sonic is the only stable version of sonic. Sonic mania is brilliant, but more importantly it's a testament to sonics original consistency and direction. Everyone pretty much agrees on what they want and would like to see in 2d sonic, but you can't say the same about 3d sonic.

The problem is not that 3D fans are way too devoted to it that they use weird statements to defend 3D Sonic, but that 2D fans are way too aggressive against 3D Sonic and its fans, most of them will try to shit on anything 3D Sonic in every possible situation no matter what, and you can't really deny that

What he meant by "stable" is that there's a defined way of how to do a 2D Sonic game. When it comes to 3D Sonic games, there's no definitive way. There are a lot of 3D Sonic gameplay styles, and nobody can agree on what is the best.

Modern 3D Sonic Games Ranked (IMO) *Fantastic* -Generations, Colors *Good* - Unleashed, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 *Average* - Lost World, Heroes, The Black Knight *Bad* - Boom, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic '06, Secret Rings, _I Don't understand the bashing of his 3D games._

Awesome game! Nostalgia aside, this is the best platformer I've played in forever! Been playing the classic four games (1,2,3, S&K) regularly since I got my Mega Drive in '94. I absolutely love this game, I hope I don't have to wait over two decades for the next great Sonic game. I wish Streets of Rage would get a similar treatment...

@Jirard, the lack of platinum trophy wasn't Sega's fault. Sony is the one that decides the trophies.

Let me get this out of the way. *DISSAPOINTMENT ≠ HATRED* Why do you people think he's shitting on these games? Saying you're disappointed and underwhelmed with something isn't the same thing as shitting on it. How sensitive are you people
