I watched a lot of reviews too, i feel you
this game fucks, to put it simply
Holy cow. I love watching reviews and retrospectives for this game, but yours just matches that excitement and fondness I've always had for this game. This is the game that pulled me into the series, one I have actual hundreds of hours in, and l've never once grown tired of it. You even share my perspective on most of the mech and treasure hunting stages! Everyone glosses over them, but that doesn't mean they aren't great!
I actually played sa1 before sa2. Sa1 in august 2020 to 9-25-2020. Sa2 was 12-23-2021 to 4-17-2022 i believe. Also, my first playthrough of mad space took like 20 to 24 minutes. Cant rly remember tho
Yooo Sonic Adventure 2 is one of the best sonic games!! Soo I totally agree with your opinions about this game 💯💯💯
I'll always watch a review for this game. It's never NOT worth it. There is always something new that I figure out about these 20 year old gems

I always found this to be extremely flawed, imo, however, i respect those who do love it, and i did had fun
Would you consider doing a video on The Murder Of Sonic?

I actually hope you do a Chao Video, there some of my favourite Sonic content to be introduced and raising them never got old for me. I LOVED playing as Eggman it was such a cool surprise, I also like your rational and simple take on the Sonic and Shadow mix up. So many people bitch about this from a players perspective but something that isn't really acknowledged is that in the early 2d Games Sonic and Robotnik clashed away from society, so no one knew who Sonic was until Sonic Adventure so it would be easy for the average citizen to get him mixed up with Shadow. I never got the complaints about searching for the Master Emerald Shards, I just felt it was a fun gimmick for Knuckles/Rouge.
Fun fact: originally the Shadow being mistaken to be Sonic thing wasn't going to be too confusing to players because in his concept designs Shadow was going to look more like Sonic and also have a different name, that name and design are being shown as one of the digital deluxe pre-order bonuses for the upcoming SXSG game (Terios the hedgehog) but when Sega created the design that everyone has seen him in ever since he debuted, they figured that it looked like a better design and went with that one, possibly also knowing that they would have to re-write too many parts of SA2's story plot for it to make sense to the players and they didn't have enough time to do that.
I will glaze SA2 until death
I think it was more if a case of Amy bein the person whos qualities that were needed to remind shadow of wut Maria actually wanted cus they're similar in his eyes. He saved humanity for the sake of the promise thrusted on to him since as depicted in his talks wit Maria he had nothin to exist for. He was there simply to watch over Maria & help find a cure & nothin else. In the end he finally remembers & fulfills this promise for Maria not for himself. This is part of Y his game works so well cus it "fixes" this 1 aspect that never got dealt wit. Shadow existin for himself & doin wut he wants. Almost everyone includin Maria ran around dictatin wut he's "supposed" to be like sonic & friends*tm, eggman, Gerald etc. In 06 he reaffirms his prior arc showcasin he fights for himself & his ideal alone. In SA2 he saved humanity for someone else's wish, in shadow he turns into a diff person moves on & finds his own goal, in 06 he's found that goal & now fights to protect but it's not humanity he protects but the planet itself. Protectin Humanity was Maria's wish but 1. Shadow has amnesia after SA2 so he doesn't know her anymore, 2. He fights for himself & noone else, 3. He doesn't like humanity but he does like the planet & wants to preserve wut it is.
Excuse me, sorry for going off topic but this is weird to me:
I did see the Shadow and Heroes videos, and now the Adventure 1 video as well. I think in all it's a pretty good unbiased (aside from SA2 a bit perhaps but that's completely understood!) tier list. The things I don't enjoy as much in SA2 are the non speed stages, but they aren't bad, just something I'd consider a more acquired taste (and Unleashed really didn't do much different with the Werehog! yet still got far more bashed by the Critics than SA2 on the Dreamcast did. It's interesting SA2 soured a full 15 points with Citics when it came to the Gamecube...only outscoring Heroes of a few years later by a single point).
Awesome video. I agree this game is amazing.
lol at first I read your username as “Nintendeez”
Knuckles gameplay in SA2 is my favorite sonic gameplay style of all time. This would absolutely trounce S3&K as my favorite sonic game if I spend more time A-ranking it and frankly, I should. (Funny how both have knuckles. Well he’s in my top three alongside Shadow and Big).
I love sonic adventure 2 aswell man. Great game. Great memories.
