@@TenshiCat They also took out the word hell which was uses by shadow in the opening scene, he went "What the hell is wrong with me?" And "What the hell was that all about?"
@@tfisanegg6712 They did keep one usage of "hell", though. Before one of the Egg Dealer fights, Shadow says to Eggman, "You're going straight to hell!"
So having never played this game myself, I've only seen how silly it is through videos, and obviously a major point brought up are the various instances of the word "Damn" throughout the game. BUT I DIDNT KNOW SONIC AND KNUCKLES SAID IT TOO. MY WHOLE WORLDVIEW HAS BEEN SHATTERED
@@12hoursTheReal I'm talking about the game Shadow the Hedgehog for GameCube, the game featured in this video. I was referring to Sonic and Knuckles' actions in this game, though I can see in hindsight how that'd be an easy mixup lol
I like how despite a voice, we can still see our main character’s personality through their actions. How their mouse is moved, them hovering between second-to-last and last spot, all adds character
I really like the "edginess" in this game, hearing sonic cuss blew my mind whenever I was younger. I love the alternate sides to characters, it makes it addictive to see how they end up. I really wish sega would create another game related to shadow the hedgehog, nothing more fun than fucking up alien monsters and demolishing the good guys.
Oh for sure it was badass when i was six and badass now, seriously seeing shadow rip into city on a chopper do a flip with two aks in his hands and merk a bunch of demons will never not be cool
Coming soon in 2022: Ow the Edge 2 and Knuckles, with a story similar to the original game but now the villain is a hell dragon monster, there's more DANMs, more guns , a new level in Stalingrad during World War 3, Shadow now wears spikey boots and a leather jacket, and now you can SWEAR. NOW THATS EDGY.
I just realized why Shadow is always exasperated when looking for the 4th Emerald. It’s quite simple: finding the Emerald in the stage is often the neutral path for each stage that has one. He’s annoyed at both the Hero and Dark reps and really, *really* just wants to get on the neutral route already
0:02 "Damn it!" 0:07 "Damn, it's not here!" 0:14 "Damn, they got away!" 0:22 "Damn! A dead end!" 0:34 "Damn, only five minutes left..." 0:43 "Damn it! We've only got one more minute before all the bombs go off!" 0:51 "Damn! We've been detected!" 0:57 "Where's that damn FOURTH Chaos Emerald!" 1:04 "Damn you!" 1:10 "Shadow! Damn you!" 1:24 "Damn it! What does it all mean?!" 1:37 "I'm going to destroy this damn planet!" 1:44 "Damn you! NO, it's not true!"
I love how you can remove the word "damn" from just about all of these without changing the tone or meaning at all. They used damn as a pointless filler word every time.
@@dekufiremage7808 As I said, in most of these examples, "damn" doesn't really change the tone. There's a reason we make fun of this game for its 'damn' diologue, and it's not just because it's petty swearing coming from the mouths of sonic characters. It's because it's unimpactful petty swearing that has no significant difference in the tone or expression of the characters. They just threw it around to try to make the game more edgy, but tbh it was the guns, the music, and the themes that really made it edgy. Not the damn swearing.
So “damn” was said 13 times in this game! Besides this, there are several instances of swear words in this sonic Franchise such as “Crap”, “s***” and “ass” (that word was said multiple times in the fleetway Sonic the comic, one or two of the times was said by Tails).
First two "damn"'s should be moved down a tier. Maybe they stick more because they're heard during gameplay, but they're definitely not as powerful as the Commander's "damn"'s to be in the same tier. Even though "Damn, not here...!" is a standout quote & one of my favorites, it's the second half that wraps it up & really elevates it, more so than the "Damn" itself. Espio's strong "Damn" & Shadow's sinister "I'm going to destroy this damn planet!" definitely need to be bumped up a tier. They're certainly as good, if not better (Shadow's line here in particular), than the "damn"'s Shadow says during regular gameplay. Sonic's "Damn" should automatically be in the "Damn Straight" tier, because if he's saying it, you know shit's fucked.
Sega recently made a video ranking the 10 best moments of Shadow. Not only they didn't put "where's that damn fourth chaos emerald" on the list, when they presented the #4 place they said "where's that DARN fourth Shadow moment". I feel robbed.
Giving a hedgehog a gun isn't enough, make him swear! Only let him use damn instead of other profane words to keep the E10+ rating! -Sega during the time of development with Ow The Edge
I get it now. I was confused before, but I get it now. Shadow's thing is blocking out help from the people around him. He's been 'damming up' the bespoke river of his relationships. Every mention of the word here is a commentary on that. What a relief. So much of this time I thought this was just a way to appeal to kids who thought cursing was cool.
