    If you really look into it, this story is really dark, the biolizard is just left to rot, needing a life support system and having no back legs, a poor sick child dies, and a poor old man wanting to better humanity is arrested and executed for seemingly no reason, and the government and G.U.N just gets away with it all in the end with no repercussion, holy crap.

    "What the hell kind of shoes are those?" - Product placement shoes. A company called Soap made shoes for rail grinding and paid Sega to have Sonic wear them. (There are also some in-game billboards with the company's logo.) They've since gone out of business, so Soap Shoes are now only associated with the Sonic franchise.
    So Sonic apparently buys shoes at the soap store...
    Another company has more recently started selling a new version inspired by the failed originals & are calling them "Epic Grindshoes". I'm not sure that the market for them is _more_ today than it was back then though...

      There's an Omochao there you're supposed to walk into which will tell you to get the booster upgrade. The section is misleading and the camera doesn't help as it just completely points away from the path with the upgrade but there is a logic here. If the platform falls and you know you can't make the jump, your only option is to talk to the Chao or to turn around and look for another way

      im mixed on how I feel about that. it depends on if we are considering death unintuitive as a teaching tool.
      you might get caught off guard and fall trying to walk across the bridge, then you might die again trying to do a running jump, but I cant imagine a person would die much more than that. Therm did figure it out, i think it's just more frustrating because death and lives were involved. if it just spawned you back a bit i don't think it would be any different than a ledge you cant reach until you turn around.
      I think that's the least garbage thing in the level.the robots that fall way too close to you to be fair and the missiles that hit locations you cant prepare for sucked. In General Ive noticed Tail's levels had the most things that felt unfair. Weird how eggman's feel pretty alright.

Originally the plan was for only Sonic, Knuckles, and Eggman to be playable in the story, and playing as Rouge, Tails, and Shadow came later (Hence some older trailers showing Sonic in Sky Rail because the level was originally meant for him).
      So eggman got the best mech stages because they were planned from the start.

    rail grinding was broken in the steam version originally you made slight ajastments with the joystick to slightly turn and stay upright on the rails and if you are upright and hold B you gain speed however the steam version for some reason has its rail controls broken so its basically impossible to do the precise tilts nessasary for some levels

    • @RammerHammer
      @RammerHammer Před 5 měsíci +10

      It has to do with the audio sync. Usually when a game is redubbed in a different language they change how long the characters move their mouths in the cutscenes so that it at least somewhat looks like the characters are speaking when the dialogue is being played. But they didn't do this with SA1 or 2 and because some words are shorter or longer in different languages the audio doesn't sync up with the video and thus the characters end up speaking over each other or cutting each other off because they need to get everything said before the cutscene ends regardless of if it makes sense or not

    If you didn't grow up with this game, you will almost inevitably hate a large portion of the gameplay due to all the jank and lack of explanation for everything. I grew up with it and figured everything out, so I like it a lot. My friend did not grow up with it, he couldn't even make it to Crazy Gadget.
    Edit 1: I'm now seeing his experience with Final Rush. Rails are indeed very jank. I never had any issue, I just hold down "B" and maybe forward but otherwise not any other direction. Chat may've been leading him astray or something.
    Edit 2: Now at Dry Lagoon. He got one of the most evil, most awful random emerald placements--especially for his first time on the stage--and he missed actually getting it so many times, I am dying.

    1. Sonic’s weird shoes are part of a product deal with the Soap shoe company. They had a plastic half circle in the sole for grinding on rails and I believe you could actually get the pair that Sonic wore.
    2. One of the lyrics to the song in that first knuckles stage is literally…
    “Wild Canyon fun, I gotta chase a bat, huh
    Yeah, Rouge, she's sexy and smooth
    A double cross spy thief that's out for my jewels, uh!
    I'm feelin' her in mysterious ways
    That's why I stay on point like, every single day”
    3. The emerald treasure hunt levels are incredibly annoying because they essentially do gaslight you. The radar is based on your X proximity from the piece. So if it’s in one room and you’re in the next room over on a higher floor, it will say you’re next to it, but like… ya know.

    My first and only encounter playing through this game (didn't make it to completion, I just had the biolizard level left to go) was with one of my besties who grew up playing this on her gamecube, was very aware of the fact that it's NOT a super self-explanatory game at many crucial points, and gave me hints/straight-up told me what I needed to know whenever I got to the confusing points. I also had the benefit of playing it on her gamecube instead of a PC port, which I would imagine makes the controls SO much easier.
    It can be a fun, well-loved game and still be a total enigma to the newcomer at times; I think we can make room in our hearts to accept that level of nuance. You did great, Therm!

    For a while I thought he was actually gonna 100% the whole game but it was just a story “100%” lol
    Also might as well say what the 100% reward for getting all A ranks and 180 emblems in case your wondering and it’s a 3D recreation of the first games Green Hill Zone.
    Also Sonic Heroes and Shadow the hedgehog have their own 100% reward and in both of them you unlock super hard mode for Heroes and expert mode for Shadow. It would be funny to watch you attempt the hard modes but the grind for it probably won’t be worth it for you. If anything I would say to just download a 100% save file after beating the story if that’s even possible to do and that’s only if you feel like doing it.

    It’s so interesting seeing someone play this game with zero prior knowledge on how it works and how the stage is. Before I finally got a chance to play the game, I watched people play it who already played it before and when I got a chance to play the game years later it just became natural to understand and play really quickly and same could be said with the train wreck known as Sonic 06, oh boy good luck with that one. I really wonder how I would’ve gone without prior knowledge on my side lol.
    But next up with Heroes I had no prior knowledge since it was one of my first Sonic games alongside the Shadow game way before I had easy access to CZcams so it’ll be fun remembering how I struggled at first the parts you’ll probably struggle with as well. Good luck with the Egg emperor boss, that one I remember struggling with the most as a kid for a while as well with the end of stage 4 with Team Sonic and dark with the lava rising.
    Btw word of advise for Sonic Heroes, Team Rose is basically the easiest team with shorter stages then the rest so start with them first and sorry for such a long comment lol.

    Yeaaah, this game shows it's age but, if you are careful and play around the glitches there is something really fun here! Also, I'm going to be a bit honest in that a part of your bad experience here is just due to you being a bit too impatient.
    Consistently falling off the map is not just due to the buggy level set ups/collisions (although some of it DEFINTELY is) but, because you were just trying to speed through everything. Which *yeah* while I get it's a sonic game and you are meant to be speedy, even the classic 2D games had obstacles to prevent you from just blindly holding the control stick in the direction of forward movement. They still want you to think about how you are moving and choosing how you do so wisely.
    Also... I've got bad news about that title, this is not a 100% playthrough of this game. Each stage has 5 missions which you can find in the stage select! In order to 100% this game you'd need to collect all the Emblems (The little sonic ring icons that appeared at the end of every stage completed during the main stages and would tick up a counter after you beat the levels), you'd have to beat each mission with an A rank, you have some emblems that can only be acquired by making progress on the chao garden both with the Chao Races and Chao Karate and general chao growth, you have to play through all of the games boss rush modes, AND you have to beat all 3 races in first place in the Cart Races game mode.
    In a weird way, while what I just described for playing through this game 100% might sound like hell to you, I think you'd appreciate the game a lot more if you did. If you took the patience to sit through all the levels, finding all the alternative routes you can take to complete the levels and just seeing how expansive each stage in this game truly is, you'd see just how much effort was put into this game. (Not to mention figuring out the nuances to the games various control types)
    This game is really special to me for a lot of reasons. Some I only really discovered when I starting attempting *to* 100% it. To this day I'm still finding out more information about this game that I have been playing on and off for the past 20ish years of my life and that's beautiful. Something most games can't get a person to do nowadays.
    If you ever do go back to this game there is one thing I would recommend even if you decide that you don't want to 100% the game (which, is understandable) it'd be going back to the chao garden, relaxing and taking your time to learn everything about the chao system. Now that you aren't in a "I have to beat the story" set up, going to the stage select screen and playing the chao garden is the best way to play the chao garden. You can actually name your chao at the fortune teller (although I will admit the way you get to the option for naming the chao yourself is really dumb), buy new chao eggs and food at the store with the rings you collect from stages, teach your chao how to draw and play instruments at the kindergarten, and see their stat grades and general health at the chao doctor office cause you don't get auto zapped to the next story beat. Plus, if you need to get more rings, sticks (chaos drives), or animals for your chao you now have the choice of only replaying stages you actually enjoyed instead of the Rouges, Knuckles, Tails, and Eggman stages you hated so much.

      @@lazilylapis676 If he went for a 100% playthrough? Yeah, I could see it going a bit of both ways. In some ways it'd make him hate it more cause there is a lot of dumb/tedious missions but, in other ways I think it would make him appreciate it more too. Also it's not like Therm hasn't played games that require patience before. He's played Stardew Valley.
      If I were suggest him to go back to this game at all I'd probably just recommend the chao garden stuff I mentioned at the end though because even I haven't 100% the game fully yet and I actually enjoy this game.

    You have to alter the game's app settings from your PC's graphics card control panel (Nvidia for me) and hard lock the game to 60 FPS.
    Nvidia Control Panel (or whichever you use) < Manage 3D Settings < Program Settings < Sonic Adventure 2 Launcher < Adjust Max Frame Rate.
    That should fix it.
    After that, you need to apply fan patches for anything else.
    I want to mention this is for a common problem that usually occurs in modern PCs where the game runs too fast. So I don't know if it would fix your particular slow down problem.

    This game very much has its flaws, especially the camera and just generally in the mech and treasure hunting sections. But I just don't understand why you were having so much trouble with the rail grinding. You literally just hold the B button to crouch while on rails and you will always have enough speed to get past all of them. You can also spin dash onto the rails to start off with a lot of speed. You don't even need to balance with the left stick, just holding the B button is enough. Switching rails is janky, sometimes the game will just throw you off to your death but other than that, rail grinding is perfectly functional in this game. You don't really ever have to switch rails like in other Sonic games. It's mostly just used to get goodies or to take alternate routes

    This is the second time in a week or 2 that I've seen someone play through this game, lose all their lives, and get confused that they were on the title screen. Which is the wackiest thing to me because it's the most obvious thing. You lost all your lives and you're at the title screen to start over. But with save files.
    I guess it's because in the old games, you lose all your lives without earning "Continues", you go back to the title screen and start from the beginning again. But by Sonic 3, they added save files so at least you don't start the game over from the very beginning but simple from the beginning of the last stage you were on.
    This has been the standard for Sonic games and MANY games.
    But recently they got rid of the life system which I thought was weird and made it too easy if you can just die over and over and never have to worry about losing your lives.
    It's still such a new thing to me that it didn't occur to me that a lot of modern games are already like that because of the kind of games there are, and therefore a lot of modern gamers would be perplexed by the most basic thing if they're just not used to it. It's not that they don't have common sense. They've just been trained to think differently already.

    There's like so many copy/paste hate comments on this, like omg. Guys. Man play game. Man no grow up with game. Man not have hyperfixation on game. Man not have as much fun with game (which I love, don't get me wrong) as last game. Man scream and have hand hernia. Getting angry that man does not have the same opinion as you is silly, actually. If someone having a different opinion on something you grew up with hurts-- like, if it does psychic damage or whatever-- and compels you to insult and gripe about it in the comments, stop watching. He might not agree with you on funny blue rat game, but that doesn't make him morally bad. Liking different things is a great thing, and people are probably still gonna spam this guy with hate.

    SA2B on GameCube was how I played and I never had this much of a problem with the controls. It's a shame how bad the ports are. It's not like everything was perfect, the game has always been a little janky. But watching how much your struggle with the controls made the game less enjoyable is sad. I played the levels over and over to get stuff for the Chao and got a lot better with time. It's fun to go back and play when you know how everything works. I don't think this is the BEST Sonic game but it has always been my favorite. I have nostalgia bias but I do remember raging at certain levels (freaking MISSION STREET) and not being able to beat stuff for a long time. But then I'd raise Chao to cool off. I always thought I was kinda bad at the game, I've never been good at video games. Was it user error or just the controls this whole time? idk, man.
