  • Sonic Frontiers - the Sonic game of all time.
    It plays like a mod without the crime.
    Sonic Frontiers makes my brain split,
    It is a mess , and I love it.

    This video explains exactly how I feel about Sonic Frontiers, the experience, the expectations, and all of the ups and downs.
    One thing I’d like to mention since I feel many people don’t seem to realize this, Sonic’s controls in cyberspace automatically revert back to Sonic Forces, they do not carry over from the open zone area, that’s why some reviewers seem to be mixed on the controls then show clips of them struggling in cyberspace not knowing the controls are different.

    • @elfrangofrito
      @elfrangofrito Před rokem +2

      Cyberspace levels seem to have controls that are WORSE than Forces, somehow. (I'm saying this based on what I've seen I have never played either game)

      I got used to sonic's controls, and yeah he has defs had better controls, but I will say for some reason I like his slower speed in this game. Besides making me think of the Adventure games, I can be more precise with my jumps now. However I cannot defend Sonic's turning in cyberspace, I hope they eventually make sonic turn better, that's the main thing bothering me about his controls in cyberspace. Other than that though I had fun with it

      I’d argue Frontiers blends all of the best elements from Unleashed.
      You got hubs, but these hubs are ENTIRE islands that you can boost through. Literally the Unleashed hub stages, expanded.
      Then you have boost levels with great design, that let you have fun with every movement option.
      Add in combat moves & interesting boss fights.
      Unleashed, Gens, and Frontiers FTW.

    If I've taken anything away from Frontiers, it's that Ian Flynn should literally be the only person hired by SEGA to write these games

The other comic writers like Evan Stanley and Daniel Barnes are also great at what they do. Ian Flynn is great, but you don't have to bring everyone else down just to bring one writer up.

    One thing that I think would elevate your content above where it is now is to focus more on your sound levels. This video felt like it was constantly jumping between segments that were completely different volumes from each other (separate from the moments of comedic voice raising), which can make certain parts (i.e. the *_wrong_* parts) jarring, or worse, give the video an amateurish quality. Your style is already one that relies heavily on quick jokes and cuts, which favors paying close attention, so for that to become harder to do as a viewer due to distracting audio levels is unfortunate. The good news is that you're not far off, since even just splitting the edited segments of this video that seem to be at different volumes and balancing them in a separate timeline would do a lot to improve the final result, so whatever your editing process it's not an insurmountable task by any stretch. Good video, and cheers!
