Sonic Never Sucked

Ойындар

A lot of people are negative about a lot of things these days but it seems like Sonic’s gotten hate for a long time even from fans. If we do better, the franchise will be better for it, probably.

    I have always thought of Sonic games like “rhythm” games. They work extremely well when you learn the level design and execute the best moves at the perfect time to blast through the levels faster and faster. Going fast and reacting fast gets you the best and fastest path through a level with all the extra power ups and red rings. That’s what makes them replayable for me.

    I just hate it when people berate, mock or judge others for either criticizing or just generally taking issue with a game that they love, or doing so when others genuinely enjoy games that they hate. Provided if the game in question is not legitimately problematic, people should just think for themselves. No matter the Sonic game or era it's from, I also just enjoy what I enjoy and take no shame in it. And honestly, I wish that's what more people did while respecting each other's views on games.

    I hate how a lot of people tend to hate on adventure 1 ( and other games) for not having accurate momentum physics. Well man, let me ask you something, do you remember how the game was made in 1998? Do you remember how it had SEGA's time restriction of only 9 months of dev time? How they had to make 6 different story lines because SEGA wanted to show off what the Dreamcast could do? Almost all the games had something like that to hold them back, it's not like they WANTED to make a bad game or something, i really have a lot of respect for Sonic Team trying everything they can to listen to the fans and make a better game out of that.

    @@Warning-34079 Dude chill. I love Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, but even then, I find Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and other characters from the same franchise more entertaining because of the experimentation they've gone through. Donald has a family, has traveled to psychedelic and unique adventures to South America, fought in wars, and done other such things. This is why many people (including myself) like Sonic. They are characters that some people might find annoying, but they honestly have experimented with several things that make them entertaining and likable. For instance, comparing Sonic to Mario or Crash Bandicoot (other respected gaming icons), Sonic has delved into comics, a wide range of mobile games, has a lot of unique friends and rivals, has been part of distinct adventures as a knight, pirate, werehog, and other things. Mario, Mickey Mouse, and even Bugs Bunny (to some extent as the Looney Tunes have generally done a lot of things) have played it safe compared to Sonic which is why I prefer him (in addition to Donald and Daffy Duck). It's just my opinion, and of course, it will be hard for Sonic to dominate an industry at Sega's pace of game releases. Yet, I always look forward to what the franchise has to offer, and through the support of people, he might continue living amongst the big video game franchises

    Yeah, as a long-time Sonic fan it get's me kind-of annoyed that certain people have been crapping on Sonic games and immediately act like Mario is Mr.Perfect in gaming when Sonic is great too, even though an amount of annoying mistakes were made with that franchise. I know that the reason behind this unfair message of "Sonic had a rough transition into 3D" is that those KZreadrs choose to review the buchered DX port of SA1 instead of the less glitchy and better designed Dreamcast original version of that game, and that the reason why the quality of that port is butchered is because there are an amount of technical things about SA1 that only the DC console could handle correctly and the GameCube console that it got ported to couldn't because of the differences between those 2 videogame consoles.

    Many of the things criticized in certain Sonic games such as simplicity, repetition, hazard placement, puzzles, and lack of visual cohesion consistently appear in other platformers with a vengeance. For example, the dinosaurs at Nintendo refuse to let Mario evolve yet they have such a hold on the industry that critics keep meatriding them like, "It's a simple formula, but it works!" Yet whenever Sonic tries anything new like adding a few different moves to use on different types of enemies like in Frontiers, critics are "polarized." Sonic's combat typically consists of jumping on or rolling into enemies, but doing anything more than that garnered unfavourable comparisons to Devil May Cry. It's almost like Sonic, compared to other platformers, has an unfair expectation to constantly be a trailblazer because of how revolutionary the classics were. Yet with something painfully unoriginal like Sonic 4 where level design and combat rely heavily on spamming the Homing Attack, critics call it a "return to form," as if any games they made in between have nothing of merit. Game journalists also can't stop getting off on mentioning '06, as if Sonic still needs redemption 18 years after that. It's perfectly fair to compare Sonic to other games, but game journalism in general is a joke.

    Mario is the Mickey Mouse of the video game industry . He’s widely loved and beloved by gamers and non-gamers alike . He’s the standards, the platform of gamers when they look at a video game character . He’s him and every time a Mario game is released, it’s good and fans agree. Mario is just an icon that revived a dead industry which was plagued with shovelware from the Atari 2600. Thus, mario can never be able to evolve or grow as a character.

I feel like in discussions involving the "entirety" of the Sonic series, we forget that if we include the handheld titles, there were tons of good Sonic games. Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure were gems as well. Thanks for watching, by the way! - LB

    You are so so right on this! I've been getting into the franchise proper since February and I spent a good first couple of months enjoying my time with this series. Everything about Sonic is fun and fast, and the two games I got to play by sheer luck of having available were Sonic Mania and Dream Team. Both titles are an absolute BLAST, and even though I had yet to check classic games like Adventure 1 and 2, I still felt the drive and the HYPE to play just about anything this IP had to offer. Heck, I immediately started considering investing on a good desktop pc so I can eventually check out everything in that crazy fangames catalogue that Sonic has. Any platforming game that follows the simple "zooming through a stage" formula that Sonic pioneered sounds hella appealing, and even if I suck at playing at the beginning, every time I try again I do better! until I master the gameplay or a handful of stages and the feeling is thoroughly rewarding and exciting. I honestly regret the moment I inevitably started stumbling upon and then diving into the fanbase opinions and drama out of curiosity. I knew it was bad, all the Internet does, but as much as I was sure it wouldn't phase me, it eventually started to take a toll on my enjoyment of this franchise as a newcomer. Holy hell, why can't people just let themselves have fun without feeling the need to be overly critical of something? the best I've felt when it comes to any sort of Sonic media (be it games, series, etc) is when I enjoy it in a state of pseudo-isolation and blissful ignorance. Just letting it flow through me, no wild expectations, just eagerness for what's to come, and I am mad that the Internet discourse on this or that minimal thing blown out of proportion gets to me one way or another, and makes me forget why I'm here in the first place. Luckily, videos like yours are like a grounding wire and help me shake all that negativity out of my system. Gone are all the guilty pleasures I was taking on elements of this franchise that a lot of people are so vocal about sucking ass, and instead I can take a step back, look at the whole picture, shrug, and say "you know what? I don't care. *I like this just fine* . I like this *a lot* actually". Thanks for that 💛 now I'm going to keep on playing Sonic Adventure for the first time and hopefully I'll get a better grip on the controls as I go further because oh boy am I running into everything like a dumbass lmao, I'll never get tired of this experience with Sonic games. PS: question! is there a specific version of Sonic Adventure that you would recommend playing? I got it running on a Dreamcast emulator with the original aspect ratio, but I saw footage of a widescreen version on this video and it caught my interest 👀 cheers!

    Yeah, fun fact: The reason the other characters in Sonic Adventure have different gameplay styles is because Sonic Team felt it was a "waste" that they had put so much effort and work into the environments only to have Sonic just blast through them so quickly. Lol I prefer Sonic's stages, of course, (like I think most do) but if you ever wondered why the stages were being reused so much between characters for different gameplay, there you have it! For the 2D Sonic games, having crazy detail in the background works better since we mostly see just loop of 2D parallax layers. 3D is tricky. - LB

    A major culprit of the "Sonic had a rough transition into 3D" sentiment is the modern versions of the Adventure games are ports of the already inferior GameCube ports - especially in the case of SA1. 99% of people aren't going to know SADX is one of the worst ports ever made and that the HD version is even worse. I remember as a teenager thinking SA1 was garbage because I played the DX version when it came out and never owned a Dreamcast. Having played the HD version with mods that restore it to its original Dreamcast state, I can see just how much better it actually was (even if still not quite perfect).

    I think the thing that Sonic-like indie games are missing is the challenge that Sonic gives you. No matter how you slice it, Sonic is hard. We just don’t realize it because we’ve been playing the games for almost our whole lives. It isn’t alt paths, cinematic spectacles or large open areas with collectibles everywhere that make Sonic good. (even though those things compliment the game greatly) Sonic is good because it takes polished skills to go fast, it gives you a sense of accomplishment, which was Yuji Naka’s vision. Spark 3, which is regarded as the greatest Sonic-like and is something most people consider to be better than Sonic in every way possible lacks that core factor that holds everything together, the challenge. Instead, the developer seems to cater more to what the community *thinks* Sonic needs. You soar over large chunks of platforming in these absurdly open areas with wild, out of this world momentum physics. All this is cool and all but it undermines Yuji Naka’s vision and ultimately misses the point, just as you stated at 6:40

    Yeah, and I enjoy Spark along with other Sonic-like indies (like Freedom Planet) but your comment is exactly the point I was getting at. Those games try to do the things that fans think they want from a Sonic game. That's also why they lack the replayability that Sonic games have. The sense of accomplishment is intended to be earned through speedy, skillful traversal but all of the other factors that are added in are like the cherries on top to the cake which is the fast get-from-point-a-to-point-b gameplay. I mean, that's the whole reason the timer is there in the game. It's to track how well you're doing in this regard. Thanks for watching! - LB

Characters like Shadow, Silver, Tails, Knukles, Rouge, Amy have various personalities and capabilities between them to open the doors for their own games. Sonic 06, SA and heroes gave us a glimps of what could be if each character or characters had their own games with their own adventures.

    So far I’m only about less than halfway through the video, but DUDE. You’re hitting the nail so hard on the head that it broke the entire piece of wood. This is what I’ve been saying all these years, and I’m glad I’m not the only one. Sonic is very overhated, to the point where even Sonic fans hate on the franchise. As soon as Sonic shows up all of a sudden everyone acts like they’re a 3000 IQ genius with a degree, pointing out the smallest things like Sonic’s quills (THAT’S NOT EVEN AN EXAGGERATION, look at what happened during the Sonic Frontiers reveal) and I get that people are skeptical and stuff but this is just too darn much. You don’t see Mario fans analyzing every single strand of hair in his flippin mustache. It’s so hard for people to enjoy things because they hinder THEMSELVES from enjoying it, and then wonder why “games aren’t fun anymore.” Games are meant to be fun, not a grade for a school test. And back when Frontiers was in its marketing stage, I was baffled how people were rating the game and marking it off as “another bad Sonic game”… *when the game didn’t even come out yet.* It’s just so strange. (They’re doing it for Sonadow Generations too) It’s like everyone has a bias an against Sonic no matter what, even the fans. People are barely supportive of the poor guy, how do they expect him to grow if we keep writing all the new games off as bad? Sorry for the rant, I’m gonna stop this here because I don’t want it to be too long. I’ve always felt that people were unfair to Sonic games, and I’ve been a Sonic fan all my life.

As long as Sonic Team continues to execute on that, I will keep loving Sonic. Sonic is about speed, and not necessarily how fast you are moving but how fast you are winning. Learning how to use his skillset and physics to do that is what makes the game fun..not exploration or padding...

    The reason ppl get skeptical about new sonic games compared to Mario is cuz of how inconsistent the series is While frontiers was well liked by the masses and was seen as a step in the right direction, it was a pretty bunny road to get there, everything after gens was either mid (lost world, forces), just outright bad (boom games) or a downgrade from what came before (team sonic racing compared to all stars transformed, forces compared to previous 3d boost games), mania was the exception If they want a sonic game to be revealed without ppl hyper analysing the game then imo shadow gens and the next open zone game need to be bangers to build trust and solidify to the fans that yes they have improved While the critiques can get out of hand and become irrational reactions like ppl already saying shadow gens has forces tier level design despite that not being true at all (fadel’s gameplay saved that games rep lol), some actually turned out to be beneficial to sonic team like the spin dash and momentum in frontiers and lesser focus on automation in update 3 Also idk why prem is here lol, I’d say he’s been pretty fair toward the newer sonic games

    I definitely love sonic frontiers. For sure one of my faves. I beat all the platforming stuff eventually but from my experience the difficulty can’t from playing the whole game with the lackluster parry system to now needing perfect parries. It wasn’t a skill that developed through the whole game and so nobody was prepared to use it

    I hear you on this. That perfect parry thing wasn't the BEST move to introduce 30 hours into the game but, like I said, fans and Sonic Team are both to blame with that. We asked for more difficulty and got it but Sonic Team should know better with their experience not to take feedback and say "OKAY" and slap us with exactly what we asked for because we may not know if that's truly the way to go. I think modesty is the word needed on both sides of the coin here. But, this is just my viewpoint. I think, like you just said your comment here, we should just stick with "I definitely love *insert Sonic game* here and make that love for the franchise stand out more before offering the very needed feedback.

    While I don't think any recent games have been amazing or anything, it's also tiring how much more heat Sonic games get for being average, or even good but not "good enough". I'm a longtime fan who does give new games a chance before voicing my opinion, and unfortunately no game since Generations has really hit that spot for me personally, even if the gameplay is decent, but I can also recognize that many people in fact do still love what the series is putting out and that my issues may very well just boil down to the games not being for me.

Unlike another recently post video you didn't waste time being mean spirited and complaining and got to the point, and you made great ones. It socks how Sonic is treated in the gaming world. It's hard to keep up with the news on the franchise because I have to avoid the Fandom and the gaming outlets because of how they all act and I don't want to taint the joy it brings me. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices the change in people's mood when Sonic comes up like with Geoff there. I thought maybe I was being to sensitive or something. Anyway, fantastic video.

Then the second movie kicked up the bad characterization, kicked up the pop culture references, the human sideplots, the generally bad writing what have you, and I've seen no complaints in regards to that from damn near anyone else. Then the Knuckles show came out, was.. honestly, about on par with the movies on everything I just talked about, and only now did people start complaining about all this stuff I'd been seeing for years lmao, and I'm just waiting to see people ignored all these aspects when the next movie rolls around because epic big chungus Keanu Reeves is voicing Shadow.

    I don't care what anyone else says, I had a fun time playing 06. I have fun with every game in the series. Sometimes they aren't the greatest games, but that's okay. Not every game needs to be a 10/10 for you to be able to enjoy them. I genuinely consider Mario to be baby games. They're fun, sure, I enjoy Galaxy the most, but they're *truly* repetitive. Hell, I found Mania repetitive because if I wanted to, I could play the classic four games. Mario is baby's first platformer until you develop the skills for something harder. Sonic is the evolution from baby to teen, at the very least. Sonic requires skill, sometimes it's skill that even I don't have. I've been trying to speed through Speed Highway on Generations for a week now, it's really made me see just how much skill it takes to play these games. That's what makes me keep coming back for the newest games, to see what they bring to the table. I'm breaking the number one video game rule today and that's pre-ordering SXSG! And not a damn soul will prevent me from enjoying it!!!

    If "Speed" is the sole defining aspect of what makes Sonic what he is then it's no wonder this franchise and it's fans are so divided. That alone is not an identity, that is an attribute and not one that carries the franchise on it's own, so in turn what Sonic's identity is is in constant flux, and that's where the true problem lies. With no solid long term identity beyond adherence to being fast and some nebulous "attitude" the franchise became something that has instilled drastically different ideas in the many MANY fans who have picked the series up over the years as to what is right and wrong with it, and which specific aspects of Sonic are more important than others. Is he your typical shounen hero, or a showoff jock who just happens to have a good heart? Should he boost through linear levels dodging obstacles and doing precision platforming, or be an open free form adventure that lets the player choose how to play? Should or shouldn't there be a large focus on the characters and lore of the series, and if so should it be western or Japanese writers who should get the say what is or isn't canon? Is Sonic better as a video game, comic, cartoon, anime, or movie, and depending on your answer to that then which one? Frankly I very much understand why it's so easy even as a Sonic fan to turn on the blue prick, because what I like and what he means to me are just completely lost in the mix of constant attempts to change what Sonic is, what he was, what he should be, and where he's going. Yes, Sonic is about speed... but if that's all it's about then what is the point?

    There are a lot of positive things that the series has brought like the characters and the stories but there's no reason "to turn" on the series unless it's something you don't like. The point is--do you like Sonic or not? If Sonic means more to you than speed (which he does to me) then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Personally, I prefer the Archie comics when it comes to lore (which I think I read somewhere are not canon) but it doesn't bother me none. Speed is what Sonic does best and I think trying to turn him into a carbon copy of some other slower platformer is maybe not the best idea. Thanks for watching! - LB

    You probably started noticing a bit the real problem in your attempts to make a Sonic fan game if your mentioning the distance problem in the video is any indication. The distance problem is a symptom of the "3D Sonic games are bad" problem, but the real cause is the fundamental misunderstanding of not only what Sonic's gameplay mechanics are supposed to _feel_ like but also what they're supposed to actually _be,_ and which is why Sonic Mania (a 2D Sonic) is the last "modern" Sonic to have gotten it right after Sonic Rush or Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations, depending on who you ask. _Momentum and level design, not speed. Flow._ People keep citing that Yuji Naka interview about him trying to speedrun Super Mario Bros and taking it as gospel that he also meant Sonic was always 100% about speed, and there was an interview where Naka said that in the first game at least Sonic being able to outrun the game camera was an accidental bug but he left it in the programming anyways to keep the illusion of high speed, but then why were so many levels in the original Sega Genesis trilogy _not at all_ conducive to going fast, being extremely focused on tight platforming instead? Going from the first to the second to the third/third & Knuckles, more cartridge space and better programming compression techniques allowed for larger, more expansive levels with each successive game, sure, but Sonic doesn't speed through every level all the time no matter what speedruns may lead you to believe. Speed is just a means to obtain the momentum needed to chain jumps along suspiciously aligned platforms. The level controls the flow and speed of the player - wide open levels like Green Hill, Emerald Hill, Angel Island, etc are fast and loose, tight enclosed levels like Marble Zone, Labyrinth Zone, Mystic Cave, Sandopolis, etc are slow and methodical - and it's on a spectrum of size. Attempting to intentionally design a good level for platforming is pointless when you give the player mindless busy work like digging through Casinopolis or Pumpkin Hill with Knuckles for random emerald shards, or screwing up the physics for a giant ball with HP that needs to be escorted to a specific hole in a desert temple full of holes, no matter how large a distance you're trying to convey. Sonic Mania was made by peeps who literally reverse engineered the original Genesis Sonic games to figure out how they work, what makes them tick, and also made the official mobile and PC ports of the Genesis games and Sonic CD before Sonic Origins was released. I wouldn't be surprised if during the process of studying the physics and fundamental construction of classic Sonic they also cracked the code of its level design as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if that played a significant part in garnering the success that Sonic 4 couldn't achieve despite being developed by Dimps and Sonic Team. Modern Sonic games get kudos for trying something new each game, but sometimes they need to just take their fingers out of their ears and listen to the fans clamoring for classic Sonic gameplay.

    6:50 I think you missed the point here, it's not "just speed" but alternative routes are an aid to speed, Probably people who play Sonic poorly play the same route without realizing that there is another one that takes them to the goal in less time. Collectibles (like in colors or generations) are not required, but rather add another layer of replayability and show the player more routes they can access. Not recognizing these factors as an evolution of the base idea is making it clear that you like the Sonic Games, But you have not been able to adapt to the new mechanics. Regarding the Odyssey trailer with the Frontiers trailer, I think there is a big difference between gameplay with an incredible visual style, vibrant colors and constant physics over the years And a game that has an animated teaser, and the gameplay that the press shows to unskilled people with a game with strange aesthetics and a very early build. I sincerely admire the people who still had faith after such a video, because it was one of the worst presentations of a Sonic game I have ever seen. Fortunately it came out to a mixed reception by the public, but it put Sonic on a pedestal again.

    I think some fans just never got over Sonic 06. Those who did, saw the potential it had and made a PC port with the issues resolved. Or played that PC port. Those who didn’t, became bitter and disgruntled losers who adopted this attitude that “Sonic sucks nowadays”. And I get it, the 2010s were really bad, with safe and boring gameplay, Sonic Boom, self deprecating “self aware” humour that was for kindergarteners (which came from a lot of fans that said that Sonic shouldn’t take himself seriously or have extra playable characters - like you said, fans giving “solutions” that nobody wanted). But we’re past that and fans are still moaning. Add nostalgia to the ever changing formula of a long running franchise and most fans are just annoying complainers that hate the new games because they’re not Sonic Mania 2 or Sonic Adventure 3. It also doesn’t help that most Sonic fans are young and entitled kids, full of idiotic opinions. I mean just look on twitter and see how many of them are unrepentant extreme leftists with an aversion to opposing views on their idiotic takes. That entitled, self centred attitude bleeds over into the “Sonic discourse”. When you add all these factors together, you get one of the most toxic and annoying fan bases on the planet. As for the other people, who don’t play Sonic games, I think it just comes from ignorance. Ever since 2006, “Sonic is bad” has been low hanging fruit for people who never gave the games a fair chance. There have been much worse games released since and before that point, but for some reason, Sonic is always invoked as the icon of bad games. Can’t really blame them though. Why should we expect anything different, since even the “fans” have this same attitude?

    My problem with sonic games is : 1.

And the game design part , well , this one is pretty spicy, I think mario , dkc , kirby , banjo Kazooie, etc ,spoiled me , they have alot more bigger levels with more interesting mechanics and movesets (especially for mario) and they're full of collectables that are fun to collect that leaves the level full and without empty useless spots , they are even more fun to collect with each passing playthrough because of your skill increasing, but for sonic, that isn't really the Case , sure his levels are fine imo , but comparing them to other platformers , they are just so flat and empty and linear , with not much to do other to just run your way through them , not to mention that sonic really doesn't have a interesting moveset to be used unlike mario , so those were my complaints , let me know what you think

    Maybe if Sega didn’t release Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, and Unleashed back to back and later released Sonic 4 along those shitty storybook games Secret Rings and Black Knight and then two pretty good 3D games Colors and Generations but then release Lost World, Sonic Boom, and Forces when things seemed to be getting good, people wouldn’t shit on Sonic so much lmao. Mania was good and helped fixed Sonic’s reputation but Forces ruined it. When you release multiple critical panned games, people lose respect for your franchise. Crazy I know! It’s not like the same thing happened to Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed or anything. Sure the Advanced series, and Rush series were good but those aren’t big, mainline, Sonic games so most people aren’t going to care. Yeah Sonic is unique because it does speed. Duh. But like, so? That doesn’t mean everything Sonic does is good. I also don’t appreciate how you just shit on Mario when Mario unlike Sonic, DID NOT COMPLETELY RUIN ITS REPUTATION. That’s why people were immediately excited for Odyssey when it first got revealed. Everyone knew it was going to be good because it’s Mario. Not to say that Mario doesn’t have bad or mediocre games but compared to most game series and especially Sonic, a Mario game was most likely going to be a quality experience. When Sonic Frontiers was first revealed, of course people were going to be skeptical when Forces was yet another embarrassment in the Sonic franchise, was the last Sonic game released at that time. This video is literally nothing. There is no argument, no discussion. It just sounds like a Sonic fanboy seething and deflecting any fair criticism along with making excuses for the poor game developers. Guess what? People are allowed to NOT like things just like you’re allowed to like things. People are allowed to criticize things as well. If I don’t like a game, I’m allowed to say why I don’t like it. I’m allowed to not support a game, if it doesn’t look appealing. It’s the right of every consumer. I’m sick of tired of people like you calling everyone you give an ounce of feedback as haters. If I was a hater, why the fuck would a care about Sonic? Why would I even be commenting on your video? Maybe if Sega and the Sonic Team leadership knew how to handle on of the biggest game franchises ever, this wouldn’t be a discussion. Was Sonic always bad? Hell no. That’s not fair to Sonic’s overall legacy and games. Was Sonic always good? Hell no. That’s not fair to Sonic’s overall legacy and games as well. Sonic is just a mediocre franchise. Can you really blame people for completely trashing Sonic when the majority of mainline Sonic games have been mediocre or bad? I like Sonic. I just wish the games were consistently good.

    Who the HECK complained about the updates, dude? Any serious fan didn't complain, from what I know, it'd be stupid to do that; they gave us what we wanted and we got to enjoy it. From what I've seen, the videos I watched were critical of the updates, but accepted them with open arms. Come on, all the dlcs were FREE. FREE. It'd be complaining about a freaking GIFT.

    Dude, this is what I WAS saying. Funny story, I was on a trip to the Philippines the week that last update dropped. I spent a day (on 3rd world wifi) downloading it and REALLY ENJOYED when I finally got to play it. I came back a few weeks later to find my gaming news feed FLOODED with articles like that one that I shared in the video and the only guy I saw defending the Frontiers update was Sonic Hub. He was like "People need to git gud." Lol It was FREE! The gaming community has been complaining about how many unfinished games we've gotten and here we are dissing Sonic Team after they basically gave us live content updates for an entire year without forcing a live service model on us or making us pay for what was basically an expansion. After that update was downloaded, I disconnected from the internet and played it on. my. STEAM. DECK. OFFLINE. Lol What more can we ask for? - LB

    Honestly, I never got a chance to try that one. I heard it was crazy glitchy. But, Boom: Shattered Crystal was dope. It was like a Sonic metroidvania. Also, Boom: Fire and Ice was CRAZY UNDERRATED. It seriously disappoints me that not more folks talked about that one specifically because it was fast, had multiple characters with different abilities, secret paths, hidden stages, mini games (one of which was straight out of Sonic Triple Trouble), tons of collectables and really great music. - LB

    ngl, the Frontiers DLC was, actually, too hard. Specifically for the fact that, they revolved it around the Parry mechanic, and the timing window for that parry were *smaller than fighting game inputs.* You remember Evo Moment 37? The part where Daigo parried every hit of Chun Li super and won the round? Yeah, Frontiers was stricter than that. They patched the values later to not be so ridiculously insane, but the damage was already done at that point (and so was my sanity.)

    I'm sorry, but Imo this video completely misses the point of why this is to begin with 2:06 . fact of the matter is, Sega has nobody to blame but themselves for not matching the quality expected of them. the franchise is so diverse that u would be hard pressed to find fans who can agree on what sonic games are good or not, contrary to other franchises such as Mario. at 2:37 u mention how fans are rating games before they come out as a negative, when I don't see the problem with that, as 1, games rarely change to a major degree after seeing gameplay, and 2 the whole point of seeing prerelease footage is to gauge whether or not this game is something for u. rating a game before it comes out is never a bad thing, especially if its something you have to invest in due it costing money. I'm going to be addressing all of these points in this vid 1 by 1. 3:34, u fail to realize how this comparison falls flat, because Mario games are known to have a certain level of quality put into them (which is recognized by almost all people), that sonic games lack. even if you're not a Mario fan like just like how I'm not a Mario fan, u can't deny at the minimum that Mario games are at least quality products. compared to sonic, Mario games can get away with this tactic, because of Nintendo's track record. Sonic games simply haven't reached the bar of quality expected by triple aaa games and fans have been burnt out by the series so many times, that they have every right to be skeptical of what they are seeing. 3:43 what u said here comes off as, "it's not that serious just enjoy the game" or at the very least gives off that energy. Fact of the matter is, it is that COMPLICATED because game design is a complicated process, and in turn video games are as well, so little things like the one in the choctopus example u gave, add up. 4:08. this point here falls flat for two reasons. one, If someone is going into release with cynicism its usually for a good reason or because its something they arent looking foward to. i dont know where this whole critique something before release is a bad thing came from, but its not. second, saying I'm going to critique something and that it comes from love of the franchise is not a copout. wanting a franchise to improve with criticism isnt a bad thing, and at 4:24, the franchise wouldn't have reached that point to begin with if the were able to maintain a consistent quality in the first place, im sorry that it was there last chance and peoples jobs were at stake but at the end of the day its still a consumer, provider relationship. if a store isnt able to compete with its competitors or just doesn't offer good enough quality then they have nobody to blame but themselves. games are supposed to get better over time and the fact the boost gameplay still hasnt improved, gotten better, or has evolved since unleashed, colors and gens, and has instead progressively gotten worse over time is just INSULTING. it has been 13 years since gens, it should've been surpassed by now. look at any other triple aaa or quality franchise like zelda, mario, gow, arkham, or spiderman. each game improves on the last in some way shape or form and evolves the series, so even if you prefer how things were in a certain game like how i prefer spiderman 1 over its sequel i could at least admit the sequel evolved in some areas. i cant say that for sonic games. 6:45 this point right here irritates me the most im sorry. The alternate paths and exploration is how you master these stages in the first place. Boiling down the sonic formula to just going fast completely misses the point. green hill is an open stage, has three path ways that each vary in difficulty and speed, sky Sancturary is mostly spectacle and is loved for its story moment in s3k, emerald coast is a stage i would argue is pretty open, city escape is memorable for its skateboarding section, spectacle, and introducing rail grinding. and windmill isle is memorable for its unique level design for the series up to that point as well as its solid amount of difficulty. each of these stages have something to offer to help negate the linearity or make good use of it besides going fast. Thats literally were the skill comes from. sonic games arent about going fast, any game could and has replicated that arguably better than sonic, its about finding ways to maintain said speed, whether through boost and avoiding obstacles with reaction-based timing, or momentum and gauging it to make skips. 9:51 ok so the point u made earlier is fine, and i agree. as a game dev myself, currently learning unity, dreams, and ue i understand your point. but besides with frontiers and its updates, i seriously dont remember a single time sega has listened to feedback, and least directly. maybe i was missing something but if there is a time tell me. 10:26 the fans responder appropriately. The "physics based platforming" focused on "momentum" wasnt actually there because, one this game does not have have proper momentum-based physics, or pinball physics, or anything of that sort, it all feels artificial, although in my opinion the platforming sections were some of the best in series for their creativity. and two, there is a fine line between good and natural difficulties, and bad artificial difficulties. The game forces difficulty by providing handy caps the game clearly want built around, and they never give the players the necessary tools to adjust as Amy, tails, and knuckles were too weak and had barely any combat options at launch to have a balanced difficulty experience. and the trails were too unbalanced due to the whiplash u get from doing an easy one, to doing one that introduced mechanics or didnt teach u mechanics necessary as well as not being designed right. couple that with a boss rush that strips and puts handicaps on the player, and adds mechanics the game clearly wasn't built around with the perfect parry and its not a good attempt at harder difficulty. in no sonic should a parry be 1/5 of a frame, thats harsh for even games that want that level of difficulty. couple that with it being delayed, inconsistent parry windows for each damn boss, (watch charrii5s sonic frontiers video for a breakdown for further detail about the parry windows) and no real indicator or animation(the line thing doesn't count thats not and indicator that just tells u the general direction of the attack) and its bad difficulty. spiderman 2 is a perfect example of how to do a simple parry, it has a before indicator, and has a timed indicator with the red spider sense, as well as having bosses having attacks with their own indicators with colors and a block so even if u fail the parry u dont feel overly punished. The problem isnt that sonic fans are overly hypercritical, its that sonic team knows how-to do-good difficulty. sonic unleashed is literally one of the most beloved sonic games in the community and is arguably the most difficult sonic game yet its so loved. thats because it had proper difficulty progression and every stage felt naturally harder than the last which culminated with eggman land, that didnt handicap the player, or put some weird restrictions or build mechanics the game wasnt designed for, no. it simply tested the players skills and everything they learned throughout the game to the test. The fact of the matter is that, sonic team was able to get difficulty right 16 years ago, but arent able to put natural, progressive difficulty in a sigle player game in 2023 is sad imo.(coming from someone who loves sonic frontiers). 12:47 this isnt true. I have seen many ytbers talk about this aspect of the series, such as premydaremy in his streams or j reviews, which is why many, including myself feel like the boost faulters because it isnt able to sutain a entire game on its own, which is why it needs some gimmick to stick. such as the werehog, wisps and 2d filler stages, classic sonic, whatever. which is why many have suggested to retire the boost and go back to the adventure gameplay as he doesnt cover as much ground

    Sonic started Sucking at SA2. The boost lacks potential. The boost was only great in unleahsed before Frontiers. The boost truly began in SA2. SA2 has the seeds of the boost gameplay. Running in a straight line for a lot of the levels and boost pads everywhere. It took until Frontiers to go a step up from Adventure. The harsh truth hurts. Yes. I know that. A lot of fanboys will hate me for saying this but, it’s true. I’m not saying all Sonic games after SA2 are bad but, they would have been better if they didnt screw up with SA2. Repetitive shooting stages? Turns the Dreamcast off.

    “the boost was only great in unleashed” no, just no…… Rush, rush adventure, generations and colours ds are literally right there….. Unleashed wasn’t even the boost at its peak, that would go to generations, gens actually managed to combine the reaction based gameplay of unleashed with a bigger focus on platforming with more open ended level design and alternate pathways that felt different sections of the level which gave a bigger emphasis on replay-ability and mastery of the levels
