Sonic Adventure Is an Ambitious MESS 

Holy shit

@Speedy V. I know, but I still think it's funny regardless.

I've watched that movie. it's really famous. doesn't it have those colored rock things?

You are not supposed to be here yet, but it was my own fault for not censoring the link in the Community tab image, lmao. Enjoy your early access. :')

Retropolis Zone Yeah I figured, and out of respect for you I have not and will not share the link...until March 25th at 7 AM. :)

Welcome back indeed. (April 2020)

About that...

What maturity?

@@skeetermania3202 Being able to differentiate one's personal feelings on something (his nostalgic fondness for SA1) from one's ability to rationally evaluate it (him not being a big fan of it based on how the game is, despite his personal fondness).

same here I love the mega man x6 review. So much anger I love it

Thanks! And I must've been brainfarted that I didn't notice the Jet Anklet mistake, haha.

@@RetropolisZone These things happen :)

Here’s a little list of mine: -I’d ditch the upgrade system as many of the abilities that it gives could either work as standard moves or hardly add much to the game. There’s already enough incentive to explore with the Emblems, hidden Chao eggs and general horseplay. -I’d give Sonic a proper roll instead of the “Spam Dash” and remap the Spin Dash to Jump+Action so Tails can have room to use it, too. (Knuckles would still dig, though, as his SA1 gameplay is about careful searching, plus the two-button controls would be preserved.) -Sonic would get a real wall jump instead of that “Jump on panel #1…” bullshit. Obviously, levels would have to be redesigned around it, but that’s OK as some, like Windy Valley part 1, could really use it. -The dash rings would be removed from Tails’s stages to give them some semblance of challenge. -Amy would obviously be sped up a decent bit and J+A would be the hammer jump. Fitting, really. -Big’s fishing controls would be shown whenever he has the line out and a prompt for setting the hook would show during a bite. Also, moving the lure sideways would be smooth instead of in sweeping all-or-nothing stuttersteps. Anything to make Big less of a pain to play without jettisoning him. :

Ayyy cj whens that Shadow the Hedgehog review coming you're like 4 years late

@@entertainer_ev2747 Not sure, I may have to do other Sonic games before I get around to it as there are some other things going on with it.

imma be honest jump pads are 100x better then shimmying across a ledge like games nowadays lol quick and to the point & shows his agility

Consistently spaced out

Hes bacc

I honestly have no idea why people always say stuff like this in regards to youtubers whose videos are over 30 minutes long on average. Like writing and editing takes week, plus they probably want to take a break. Maybe I missed something and he said he was quitting but my point is never assume a youtuber who makes long videos is dead unless they haven’t posted in 2 years.

Thank you for the kind words, man!

Thank you! Glad I could deliver. :)

Same for launching Sonic, but that's needed seeing as you could be unfairly punched off a cliff

honestly i don't even know why the ring system still exists in the 3d games,there is plenty of room to dodge and see obstacles,and cheap design isn't nearly as much of a issue.

@@luisjogos821 Rings still exist as currency in most 3D games, letting you purchase unlock angles when you reach a certain amount.

He got lazy and doesn't want to put effort into content anymore.

Glad you noticed it! I have been making an effort to improve the pacing of and streamline my scripts.

It’s regurgitation

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the review so much. I think the relatively low number of subscribers and views has to do with my lack of consistent uploads. I simply don't put out enough videos.

That doesn't really make sense, though? Gamma has no reason to be at Red Mountain after Emerald Coast. Why would he be there? You also don't see Froggy in Gamma's hands in Knuckles' campaign, neither do you see Big following Gamma.

Actually, fair enough. I misremembered the layout of the field.

@@RetropolisZone To be fair, both the Red Mountain entrance and Gamma's flashback after Emerald Coast are near the Emerald Altar. It's possible Gamma was teleported there by Tikal, since that happens to Knuckles after his Lost World stage...not sure where Big is during all this, though (would've been hilarious to see Big chasing after Gamma in Knuckles' story).

If I recall correctly, after Gamma's flashback he spawns on the Egg Carrier. So there was never any time for him to be near Red Mountain.

Would you kindly provide an example of one of the reviewers you're referring to?

@@danielbetancourt1483 by "reviewers" I'm also referring to other RU-vidrs, and plenty have bashed the game for the wrong reasons. Projared, Spawnwave, losers on whatculture gaming, all sorts of commenters from everywhere, do I really need to explain this to you? It's popular to hate on this series.

@@retrosoul8770 Yes you really have to.

@@retrosoul8770 what do you think of the runaway guys letsplay on it?

Knuckles and tails are done well

It is not, but we were both kinda shocked that was the case. It is a pure coincidence. You are the first one to catch that, though, so good eye!

I will probably do Sonic 3 someday, but that game is intimidating to me. There's a lot to cover there.

@@RetropolisZone well regardless we all love you and will support all your life decisions you make public, also your probably my favorite youtuber just thought you should know that :)

Hawk Boy so is Mario 64 as a first attempt at 3D like sonic adventure. I hope the remake is great

@@sagecentral1809 When did I say anything about SM64 again? I think that SA1 is better than SM64, but both have their positives and negatives.

@@hawk6901 hopefully with he remake the dont make it terrible

Me too!

Man, there is way too much extra effort here capitalizing the start of every word lmao

Bet

Thanks!

Someday, for sure.

Retropolis Zone Rivaling godfather trilogy for the most in depth story

Taha Mohammad Uhh, how?

Beta 511ee I was making a joke about how long the jak 2 review would be considering how long his review of the first game was

True.

Glad you can disagree without being hostile about it. Much appreciated. :)

You nailed it bro

I love Sonic Adventure very much but you're comment really bummed me out thinking about the state of the Sonic franchise that this is one of the best ones.

@@TimAllen624 To be fair when it comes to story theming and level design (primarily Sonic’s) Adventure is one of the best. Still a very flawed game that you can’t call amazing because come on, but even then it has a lot of aspects to it that are on average more well executed or had more thought put into them than a lot of the newer games. Passion doesn’t make a glitchy game good of course but it’s still an important factor (and also it hurts more if it looks like the devs didn’t even try).

I guess DreamCast disks > PS1 discs. Maybe Square should've made FF7, 8, and 9 on the DreamCast instead.

both of you are wonderful

Sonic Adventure would be a hard game to remake: change too much and you'll piss off the fans of the original, but fail to change enough and I think it is guaranteed to get panned. I'd personally prefer them to reimagine it Resident Evil 2 style, because the game is too problematic and flawed to just give a few quality life of improvements and fixes and make it work again. Like, you can't just scrap characters, since that'd be losing a core aspect of what made Sonic Adventure. At the same time, could they really make all six characters feel much more substantial and worthwhile? If they do announce an SA1 remake, I honestly wouldn't be excited. I don't have the faith in current Sonic Team to pull it off in a satisfying way. Hopefully they can prove me wrong, though, if it is happening. I'd love a triple A remake of SA1 on the upcoming generation of hardware, that completely blows the original out of the water.

@@RetropolisZone Part of me is imagining a Metroid: Zero Mission-styled remake where the structure is largely kept but gaps in the game design are filled; for example, you could make Tails' and Gamma's levels be longer and play with their abilities more (it'd be pretty cool to see Tails' Windy Valley have some sort of wind gimmick). Whether or not the current Sonic Team could pull it off...I agree that I don't want to see the Sonic Team whose most recent game doesn't even give Sonic an idle animation remake a game where every character has a unique idle quote depending on their situation. On the other hand, I have heard that Sonic Team was restructured sometime in 2018, but I'm not certain.

@@RetropolisZone "change too much and you'll piss off the fans of the original" Not if the only changes are improvements of issues in the earlier versions with new levels to add.

@@CarloNassarYeah, but this fanbase probably wouldn’t agree on what constitutes “improvements” or not

@@technicallyinept2120 Well, maybe it's best not to worry about the fanbase in this case.

I am probably doing an X7 minimalist run soonish, but don't count it happening this weekend.

@Retropolis Zone cool I’ve been watching your minimalist runs live since you did X5, and the rest on RU-vid, can’t wait.

Honestly i feel this game is much more polished than mario 64, but thats more because of the time of release.

Flash The Monkey It really is criminal that Adventure 1 and Heroes are the only 3D Sonic games TO THIS DAY to decently replicate Tails’s 2D gameplay because although flying in Adventure 1 is fun on its own, there’s not a Hell of a lot to do with it, and exploring/dicking around in the levels is inconvenient because of the racing gimmick, and you know what kind of game Heroes is. Tails is seriously the most gypped Sonic character ever.
