  • Well everyone, it's been a long time coming for me to start posting legitimate videos on this channel and to me there's no better way to start than by talking about the entire reason I'm even here in the first place. By talking about Sonic! I'm really happy with how the video turned out so I hope you guys enjoy it too. More videos coming soon!

    Yooo i didn’t expect this video to get the traction it did but either way thank you everyone for watching! I’ve been seeing a few comments on the free DLC updates for this game and I’m very much aware about them (especially since this video was kinda outdated in a few ways because of update 2). So whenever update 3 comes out I’ll make a follow up video on all the changes made to the game because that in itself warrants a revisit to the game. Either way I’m glad everyone’s been enjoying it. New video should be out this week.

      I think youtube is messing around with their algorithm because I've seen this sentiment from several youtubers recently. Random video game review videos have been appearing in everyone's recommended despite the amount of number of subs on a channel. It's pretty neat.

    The reason the Parry doesn't have timing is because of the play testers. Kishimoto revealed the playtesters were so bad at the game he was forced to remove the timing restriction. He's acknowledged our feedback 😁 n the issue though so hopefully Update 3 will address it in some fashion.

    You don't need a drift in cyberspace. A cool feature in this game is that if you stop boosting and immediately boost again, you can change Sonic's direction immediately. You don't need Sonic to turn where you want him to when he can immediately change direction.

    (as i’m sure you know) they added jump momentum in a recent update and it’s a game changer. it was fun before to traverse but now it’s even better. I have a lot of complaints about frontiers, but if they refine what they have here we can have a genuinely great game on our hands. not JUST by Sonic standards, an actual great game. i’m hyped 🙏

    I think the challenges being easy is okay, for me helps to dont kill the gane flow, you just explore fast, do here a little thing fast and dont get into it to much time and then just keep moving..
    Still yeah, most of time requirements should be more demanding, not only the challenges but for the cyberscape too, that just would be the best thing to make something hard in a sonic game but still dont kill the flow.. (imagine if you have to stop all your movement to start thinking and trying things to complete something, would be like cmon, this is sonic let me go fast and keep moving, this aint zelda.

    Honestly? Gotta agree with everything said. It's got its flaws, but what the slapped on? They slapped HARD.
    I haven't enjoyed a sonic game this much since generations, and i still play it to this day occasionally.
    It's my personal favorite sonic as it takes what I disliked but cpuld see merit for in Unleashed, fixes it, then takes some ideas I think should've been a thing forever and adds them in well. It's a 9.5/10 game for me.. i want to give it a 10 so bad, but Supreme just isnt poleihed enough to warrant it. Otherwise.. I have 30 hours in one playthrough, all achievements, and still just like to goof around. It may be a gltichy mess at points.. but its MY gltichy mess. I like it.
    The boss fights are what carried this game so highly for me.. i havent had so much with a boss fight in forever.
    ALSO DONT FORGET EACH UPDATE CHUNK, they added more content and fixed other problems i had such as the spindash or momentum.. gotta increase the rating for that if you ask me.
