Pseudoregalia | The Best Platformer You've NEVER Heard Of

Today's video is smaller but it's just something I really wanted to talk about. Pseudoregalia has been on my radar for a minute and I decided it was about time I sat down and played it.

Jet Set Radio | Aesthetic Brilliance above Gameplay?
zhlédnutí 154Před 3 měsíci
This is a video I wanted to make a few years ago but I'm just now getting to. I've been a vocal fan of the Jet Set Radio series for a few years but in the case of the first game, I've always had some serious criticisms. Also looking back at the game I wondered what really attracted people to the game. Is it the game itself or something else? Let's find out. 00:00 - Preface 01:44 - What makes Je...
I SLEPT On Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
zhlédnutí 65Před 4 měsíci
With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming out I wanted to get a video out on it. Sadly I was sick, but I've been blazing through the game so that I could at least discuss it with you guys. In all honesty I felt like I really slept on this game before release. I was expecting an amazing package but I got even more and I discuss it in this video. Once I complete the game, I'll have another discussion...

Sonic Frontiers Is BETTER Than You Think...
What did you expect? A Splatoon rip-off would ever be worse than the OG.
This Review/Rant Got A Lot Of Laughs Outta Me. Because All Your Points Were So Valid & Other People ("Sonic Fans") Are Blind.
This dude is the king of horrible takes
Womp womp?
Forces is not better than 06. More polished? Sure. Idk what kinda zaza u took to say forces has better level design then 06. Really??? Just sound like a hater
obviously dude but people like sonic 06 more
Spark 3.
Honestly, as someone who grew up with generations and colors, I’m really looking forward to the open zone stuff, my biggest issue with it is just how Frontiers handled it. They really could’ve done better with incorporating more traditional sonic elements in an open world experience. Don’t get me wrong, frontiers is good and a breath of fresh air, it just feels like a tech demo or an early alpha for something way better. Also they need to fix the sense of speed in the cyberspace levels those felt so sluggish at times especially the sky sanctuary one where you’re running up the crumbling tower that felt so slow and anticlimactic
in my opinion i would say if u compare the games without modding then sonic unleashed is better but if its with modding then generations is better
I agree but sonic 06 level design w
Gens levels are more about finding woth paths are the fastest and unleashed levels are more about going faster withen the same path
finally someone in this community that is smart
Unleashed is Way Better, Generations is way too easy, i beat it in an hour in a half, and you just suck at sonic unleashed
4:45 I disagree. At least the descent speed isn’t great. But it’s not the worst on a balancing sort of way. We are going to have worse Flying and Gliding than in other games to balance them selves with Sonic/Amy.
1:27 I wouldn’t say it’s a mobile game at heart. Since it doesn’t fall into the same traps as many mobile games and free live service games do. Be grindy, long, repetitive, money hungry, fomo inducing, and many times, be not much of a game at all. I may love Cookie Run Kingdom in many ways, but it still features many problems that plagues mobile games. Dream Team is more like a quick handheld game.
1:11 I disagree quite a lot. Aside from a controller being better. But the touch controls were still not that bad and really fun to play with. They aren’t perfect, but it’s better than you usually have. Which is good, because I literally don’t have any controllers I play mobile games with. Especially after messing up my PS4 controller when trying to reset it so it can actually connect to the console. (There’s left over toothpicks in the reset hole.)
For chill fans: Sonic's in a great spot For Adventure fans: Sonic's in a great spot For Forces haters: Sonic's in a debatable spot For 06 haters: Just can't let go of 06 and thinks every title with Sonic in the name is a lost cause For 2D fans: Won't even give 3D Sonic a chance
That's it in a Nutshell
Out of all the current games I only liked Mania and Origins. Wanted to like Superstars but Sega messed that up.
Sonic Frontiers started a new era we have to wait and see what happens next
let me tell you, if they are probably gonna remake sonic heroes, i’m pretty hype for the future of this series.
Twitter talking about the trailer: OH MY GOD ANOTHER 20 FPS GAME Twitter when the game drops: …
I am excited for what's to come in terms of gameplay, but I have grown to really dislike the way the characters are currently written. I do not like how Ian handles the franchise. Sonic stories used to be memorable because they were inspired, had themes, character arcs. Their characters used to represent things about us that we could connect with. Now they're all presented as a "cast" of mascots that say things because "that's what they would say". There is no intention to tell meaningful stories anymore. It's all just aimless interactions that insist upon the idea that you "recognize" these "mascots" and their "personalities". That's why sonic talks like any witty superhero nowadays, why knuckles says he likes to punch things, why tails makes long observations with smart words, why amy is not allowed to obsess over sonic anymore and is instead a generic "voice of reason". I am 90% sure that shadow's arc of abandoning his past (and maria's promise with it) will be completely retconned in favor of the overly recognizable shadow in SA2, because they want all of their characters to reach this static overly marketable limbo so they can shove them into anything they want to. Jebzone makes a pretty decent breakdown of these issues in his "Sonic Frontiers is the corruption of storytelling" video.
He’s definitely in a better space but he’s on thin ice.
The first time I saw, sonic it was probably when sonic unleashed yeah and I never played a song game in my life, but that game was fire. I was starting to grow up with sonic since that era of sonic I’m happy for what they’re doing for sonic sonic is going to be peak in his new game and other games as well. I hope they keep this sonic into the New Year’s.
My only problem with how Sonic is right now lies with Sega and Sony themselves. Sonic Team clearly wants to bring back that 2000s edge we all loved and they're doing a good job at it. But it seems like Sega and Sony lately have been drifting into gold mining with all these packages, deluxe editions, missing pieces of content, questionable decisions and such. I feel like most of that influence comes from Sony seeing the state of Wukong and how they vouched for DB Sparking Zero to NOT have couch co-op. So as happy as I am with Sonic right now, I REALLY REALLY hope they don't fall into the EA pit.
Thanks to the Frontiers and the Movies, Sonic’s future and the franchise is growing brighter and in a better place and I’m happy
Took us a while but Frontiers finally set that blue rat back on the right path ‼️
Man, it's actually insane. I watched a non-sonictuber talk about that shitnthe other day and it was all positive. We're so back.
Wrong. Sonic superstars was mid. Sonic frontiers was an unfinished mess.
Personally, I have extensively enjoyed every recent Sonic release. However, I do not think any of the recent releases were good. Decent to alright maybe. I feel like many Sonic fans are desperate to see a Sonic game so good that everyone likes it. Unfortunately, we have yet to see that. Doesn't mean you can't like Sonic, just means recent games have not been up to standard compared to other *similar* AAA IPs, including Sega's.
I heavily disagree with this. I think Sonic games, as of recent, have been good. I think to dismiss Frontiers and Superstars as games that are not good is really disingenuous.
It's a weird feeling seeing so much good will around sonic. I love it.
I would have to say that compared to the dark ages that were the 2010s, Sonic is back on top: I could even go as far as to say this current age may even surpass the 2000s🤩
Sonic adventure isn't just one of my favorite games of all time, it has been an inspiration for me: in 2020, this game inspired me to start writing a mini science fiction anthology series (that I am still working on). Ask for my favorite story in the game, it is a tie between Tails and Sonic: the former because I have a soft spot for coming-of-age stories, and the latter because who doesn't love sticking it to mad scientists 😎
Fun Fact: Jet Set Radio was the first video game to be cel shaded.
This is kinda insane. Didn't believe this but you're right.
Pretty positive video and yeah, Sonic is in a way better state then before
Another racist sonic channel
How in the hell is this channel racist?
😂😂😂😂
@@Shadicstick It's joever, you're racist now
@@ubercomrade Not that good
He's definitely in a good place. I mean looking back at the time that Lost World, Boom, and Forces came out yes the state of the series itself and the backlash it got wasnt good at all. However I will always be in the camp that Lost World is a good game, so for me the only real bad Sonic games are Forces and 06 just because it's very unfinished. I like the Boom series, I liked the show and I hope they bring characters like Lyric over to the mainline series like they're doing with Sticks, but I won't deny the games had multiple issues with gameplay, writing, various things. In regards to Shadow Gen's gameplay, I don't think the VGC footage was bad or made the game look boring. They had said that the footage provided wasn't just for the gameplay but mostly to show the environments and how the game looked. Should they have only released that gameplay by itself? Probably not, honestly they should've released it and some other footage of morr engagaing gameplay. That and I've never really been a fan of gameplay without the hud, just doesn't look right and makes the game kinda look like it's in a beta or something. While I don't blame people for being skeptical after Forces, I very much do blame them for the whole seeing a straight line and immediately going "Forces level design" like many have unfortunately done lol. That is just flat out ridiculous, thankfully there have been many others who've proven and discussed otherwise. I'm extremely excited to play the game when it comes out. The way the Chaos Control mechanic is so interwoven in the level design, and Izuka stating that it is with every level with both that and Shadow's new Doom powers just has me itching to see more. They definitely put a lot of thought into the level design. The series and fanbase will always have their issues (especially the fanbase), but overall yeah Sonic is in a very very good spot that I'm so glad he's in.
Sonic definitely is. But i believe that Sonic can go much higher. Good vid bro
Sonic is starting to peak now
I feel like for Sonic as a whole franchise... Where the game crowd thought "This is the start of Sonic's new age", for me, HERE is where the real start is. Sonic X Shadow Generations is the true litmus test, not just for seeing what Sega can do with another form of Open Zone Gameplay, but also testing if people do want spin-off games focusing on the characters again. If Shadow, the second most popular character in the canon, can stand tall compared to his initial falter in 2005, Sega may trust making games with a focus on other characters, maybe testing some of the genres they could be in. If Shadow can succeed, maybe a Knuckles solo game can succeed. If Shadow can succeed, maybe Amy can have a solo outing (It would be cool considering Zelda and Peach are starring in their own games nowadays) If Shadow can succeed... Maybe we can see Blaze again, and Sega can trust in her spearheading her own solo game We're at a crossroads now, and while this is hopeful thinking, I like to imagine that if Shadow does it and showcases the world would wholeheartedly accept solo outings from the extended cast, then we can really see the series fly higher at the beginning of the series' One Way Dream.
And I for one, would love to finally see Silver get one more shot after his own falter in ‘06.
@@DeterminedTorres Oh absolutely, I'd love a Silver game in this day and age, it's been too long. Heck, he could play like he does in SRB2, which is already like a speedier version of his gameplay in 06
I think he’s doing a decent job rn. Although the only things I’ve been liking so far are superstars and the knuckles tv show. Everything else just sort of disappointed me, same for shadow generations. My favorite game ever is getting a remaster and it is barely changed and overshadowed by the newer campaign. Ik sonic would do good moving on but I’m starting to not care for him as much anymore.
The title video should be "Why Sonic 06 is better than Sonic forces"
I genuinely hope someone at sega/sonic team saw those tweets of someone changing the cyberspace camera to match unleashed & gens' camera and seeing how it completely changes the feel of the game
I think it was cool on paper but the reason the camera is pulled out so far is for visibility. I think it should change based on level segment rather than be like that all the time (kinda like gens)
I've never seen anyone complain about the camera in Cyberspace
@@Shadicstick It's more SA2 inspired which is okay for a game like Frontiers, but doesn't feel as "boosty" as it does in Sonic Unleashed/Colors/Generations
He's for sure in a better place
I'd definitely say that Sonic is in a better place now compared to when Forces came out. I'm really looking forward to playing Shadow Generations, especially with all the improvements to the animations, open-zone (more cohesive looking world), and level design. Sonic Team being experimental again is nice too, the quality just needs to remain high. I'm so glad we're at a point that our critiques are being heard and we can see those improvements being made. It genuinely feels like we're getting somewhere. There are still issues with the series, but hopefully with more people trying to push genuine and nuanced discussion Sonic can reach even greater heights.
This here 🙏🏿
When One Way Dream was in Frontiers’ Credits in Hard Mode, it goes to show they’re not letting that spark die out yet.
Sad part is there are people that just WON'T let go of Sonic 06 and are convinced that every game with Sonic is bad
@@YuriChan640 That's the sad truth. Can move on from the past they just stick in it..
@@user-vt6dd4kz5t But Sonic 06 is 18 years old just let it go, Focus on the current titles like Frontiers
Sonic is definitely in a good place for me
On another note, you're alive bro?
Sonic's been in a good place for me since 2017. Forces and Mania were the start of Sonic getting out of his Boom funk and getting back to making good MAINLINE games again.
I'll die on this hill but I think Sonic Adventure translated Sonic's gameplay to 3D quite well and its unpolish has a certain charm to it that the series hasn't replicated since. It's an ironic game where I don't think I can honestly say it aged either good or bad...because it definitely shows of its time and yet still a game I rank pretty high in the series overall.
The worst thing about the DX version is the controls it’s not true anolog, diagonals are nurfed and its slows you down, this is not an issue on Dreamcast
finally someone that prefers the sadx textures over the original ones
