Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric | The Completionist 

but he's already completed sonic 06.

Classix Burrrrrn

Classix "I'm The Completionist, and I complete games so YOU don't have to."

That's an insult to Toads everywhere.

god he's right though x.x i fucking *hate* Sonic Boom Knuckles

He used to have a rating like that it was "Burn It" I'm pretty sure

Yeah. But that changed after the Sonic 06 episode

@@blobfishmusic6020 There was a Sonic 06 episode?

@@PeruvianPotato yea, he said it in this video too. but its removed because of what happend with you know who.

@@larsliljeberg3970 Nope, I'm relatively new to this channel

He said donate it and like I would do it no u rite burn it straight to hell

Bruh Sacrifice it to who? I don't think Any kind of God will appreciate this piece of trash You might even bring their anger upon you for insulting them with this trash

@@Agent-ur7tf give to Satan as a torture device

Nuke it!

He finally made that rating for his Sneak King video 2 years later

I mean... Is that even a gripe at this point?

I remember a part where Dan tried to suggest to Arin that the pink rails might be for Amy, but he ignored it.

***** I mean... if you have friends over and you want to show off something to them in a game, you're gonna be commentating to them, right? Sort of the same principle. But you don't willfully skip tutorials, do you?

I think the game grumps have the mental capacity of figuring that out. But really does the game deserve that much attention? I think the grumps spent more effort improving. its snowing on mt. fuji.

It's fine if you missed the triple jump and never knew about it until needed, but Arin had already used the triple jump plenty of times before the part where he completely forgot about it.

me too and that's the only thing I don't like about this new format. Other than that I liked it but I have to give it one more game like a game that's actually completeable and not a gliched filled one like this to see if the format works best

My favorites were when he tried to explain the plots in the Metal Gear games. You can hear it in his voice that it's driving him nuts.

agreed. i preferred the spoiler section. droping it was a major mistake

The new stuff looks cool though

Pretty sure he doesn't want to skip content or lower his retention time by having spoilers

TheCrazedPotato Man what song from Banjo Kazooie is that from that 😂

Deondre Wood The Pause Screen Theme

I dunno buh, he be spittin' fax doe

Hehehehe

Oh... now I feel bad for them... Screw Sega man.

It's Nintendo's fault too. What happened to the Nintendo Seal of Quality?

who cares it's a sonic game they aren't known for being too phenominal

Then they should fire that executive who told them to take it to the Wii U. For this terrible assault to the eyes

Thank you for this insightful information 👍

Your punctuation and grammar is an insult to the entirety of the human race.

Saying "knuckles' iq is that of a autistic potato" would be an insult to autistic potatoes

If Toad watched this he would be like " YOU SON OF A-"

The Automatic Creeper, but they're an alpaca

well damn you're right

Omnicidal Clown agree

I would at least like the final rating laid out like before with the old sound sting and sliding bar.

yea no point looking those reviews without spoiler section!

awww he stopped doing that? that was like the best part

That was the best...

I was also that one kid in p.e.

Me too

Me too, can confirm

Same here, lad!

Me too

AYYYY Best use of a pun I’ve ever seen!!! SA2 forever!!!

It's Sonic 06 All over again !

I see that u tryed man I know it was hard 😯 after that u need 2 clenz ur soul

Play some Kirby Air Ride. It'll make ya' feel better. :)

JIRARD, NO!!! PLZ! DONT DO THIS TO YOURSELF!! PLZ! REMEMBER 06!!

I did Sonic Boom for the season 2 premiere of my review show - I shan't spoil what glitch ended my playthrough, but I will let slip that I buried it in a spoopy place

SomecallmeJohnny Hey, it's Johnny!

SomecallmeJohnny 👍🏻

Get back to work!!!!

he should just give it to clement tbh (fire and ice review when?)

oh wow, it's the actual Johnny.

Sonic Generations 3ds objects to that statement

Sonic in Flicky Island would like to tag on.

@@kirsinaukkarinen7024 g o l d s t a r

Yep. Actually learning about the game is one of the major parts about Completionist. You know, to learn about the stuff we don't know because we didn't complete it.

i totally agree

True.

forasquem I think that since high watch time is good for RU-vidrs, Jirard probably wanted to remove the spoilers section so more people can watch the whole video instead of just 3/4s of it.

Yes the spoiler section was always my favorite :( I always like to see the final boss of the game.

Yeah. I know the RU-vid Algorithm favors channels that have videos which people watch the majority of. It's about retention time. I'm sad it's gone too, but a lot of people probably skipped that section and it meant loss in potential subscribers due to a lack of promotion because of that. So that's probably why the section was removed.

since i don't really play too many different games, the spoiler section was really nice because i got to learn about the stories of games i may never play

forasquem same gutted it's gone now

Yeah, aside from Hotel Mario, none of the games has been called as one of the worst video games of all time. Kind of sad Sonic is suffering hard while Mario(aside from a few titles)hasn't haved that.

@prickly pear Yeah, they are pure garbage, but not games that are some of the most panned ones of all time

Just look at the good games from the past decade on the Mario and Sonic franchises. Mario got: -Super Mario Galaxy 2,which is also the best Mario game -Super Mario 3D Land -New Super Mario Bros U(Yes I actually like it) -Super Mario 3D World -Mario Kart 8 -Both Super Mario Makers And Super Mario Odyssey And Sonic only got *2* good games,those being: -Sonic Generations And Sonic Mania which wasn’t even developed by Sonic Team. The hedgehog has had it really rough.

@@Cton9573 there's sonic colours also

@@wolfenden9805 and sonic racing games are good

Hey Shady Doorags I love your channel.

And Sonic 06 had a f***ing amazing soundtrack while this game has generic songs that were probably taken from a royalty free music website

Redaknight Gamer True!!! o6 can actually be fun with some glitches but rise of lyric is just bad!

No no, 06 so bad it make me want to smash it, even Sonic denied that game exited (canon) rice of lyric on the other hand, I buy it 2 months ago and it’s actually enjoyable, sure it had some nonsense scene but there’s surprisingly smooth and definitely not as bad as people tell me, though I was pretty disappoint about the music :(

@@lisa101561 cut them some slack, the game was created on cry engine until sega suddenly tell them it's a wiiu exclusive. Meaning they technically frankensteined a next gen engine onto wiiu. Big red buttons later games are well reviewed and received. While sonic force is.... Eh.

The cutscenes are okay in 06

The game was suppose to come at PC But sega told red big button that it's coming to wii u not PC and that's were things got fucked up

A game that makes old school Sonic fans cry works on the "CryEngine". That is fitting.

Scott, i mean i realize it's really bad bait, but atleast make it make sense? XD

that bait is delicious Scott

The CryEngine is meant for whatever platform the developer optimizes it for. The problem with Sonic Boom was never the engine, it was Sega and BRB.

I would think it should be donated to the Trash Can.

I think you should mass donate it to a landfill. That worked for ET. But instead of leaving it there, donate the entire landfill to the sun.

Donate it to a recycling plant? I'd imagine the plastic, paper and whatever the discs are made out of can be used for something that's, well, not shitty.

donate it to trump

Bad idea. Trump might want to get rid of Sonic for good.

Aaand the whole fanbase with it...

@@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886 Rinse and repeat until Sonic Mania.

Sonic 06 had good music, Rise of Lyric not really

Derek Shook Speaking of music there is no reason for the snake's name to be Lyric, not as far as I could tell.

capthavic I legit thought when I heard the name "rise of lyric" I thought it was a music game.

Trainer Your procrastinating aren't you yeah right? Why else would you have that for the name and as the sub title for the game? Was it going to be a musical game at some point but got dropped but they said "fuck it" and kept the name anyway?

capthavic lol ikr, all it makes me think of is the noticeable absence of Crush 40 and Julien-K

oh yeaaaah

petition to bring back burn it just for this game

this is not as bad as sonic 06 if anything it is quite entertaining as long as your not going into it for the story and just for the crazy things that can occur

Noah Ferguson Sonic 06 is much more fun than this piece of shit

Well maybe I've only really watched the two so except I played the demo for rise of lyric which was actually alright and then they messed that part up

It may be fake but this games only help can be some blast processing

@@kepercrabs6577 it isn't fake. Idiot.

@@drippyog3935 bruh it was a joke lmao

If I were the Completionist, I would have on of my Completionist Rating of "recycle/donate it".

you're not THE completionist but you can be A completionist!

In my opinion, this game is not that bad as a generic adventure game, but, as a a Sonic game, it's terrible. It has little to do with Sonic and what made him great.

Didn't he used to have a "burn it" rating in place of "donate it"?

He did, but he changed it after his 100th episode (Sonic 06).

Waverace100 This ain't my sannic.

Nerd

And now he's a shell of his former self. Hell, he doesn't even talk about Sonic. He's just a man clinging onto financial support, pretending to be transgender so he'll get more attention.

Zach Jira, Wow, your clearly blind, his arms are blue idiot!

Calder Worthington they weren't blue before sonic boom existed

they changed it after 06

There needs to be another change then. Quite frank, I believe he was being too kind by saying 06 was just as bad as Boom when really Boom is the worst. In 06, there were a few instances that shows effort was put into the game, then it actually has some damn good tracks. To make it worse, Rise of Lyric is 8 years newer and here it is being compared to an older terrible game, even by visuals.

CM Pork Or put it in the recycling bin!

or flush it. its a piece of shit anyways

CM Pork Well personally, I think recycling it is the best method because the game would be completely destroyed and that material could be reused for better games!!!!! I personally never played it but I saw footage and even from the commercial, it looked terrible!

Same here

I'm never going to play this game so I might as well know the ending.

Don't watch the video and unsub to the channel.

Zain Dhanani www.gamefaqs.com/boards/193374-sonic-forces/75807790 I wrote this.

Sam Snyder Alright, if that's how you feel

Let me guess...he thought it was for Knux

Arin sucks at video games

Well, Arin isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the tool shed.

It is so hard to watch the game grumps play anything requiring the slightest amount of skill.

MrCraftingchannel I was thinking the exact same thing. God Arin cannot focus when he is talking.

I love the animation of the TV show

Fun fact (that probably no one knows) first episode, they bandaged the wrong ear *facepalm

It's actually CryEngine 4 for Sonic Boom, not CryEngine 3. The Wii U can handle CryEngine 3, PS3 & 360 had quite some games using CryEngine 3.

Yeah, I heard that the development team had a terrible time with Sonic Boom since Sega didn't mention that they were changing game engines in middle of development and on top of that, they put a time limit at the end of the year so they had to rush development so that the game was complete which resulted in this disaster.

Stefannofornari ™ They we're actually screwed by the marketing team framerates and things would have been fixed if the game was on the Xbox1 and PS4 like it was supposed to Sega just forgot about the deal they had with Nintendo for 3 exclusive titles and the game was ported to Wii U very late in development which destroyed the game itself. The get still would have been forgettable at best but it wouldn't have been awful. Much like it's predecessor Sonic 06 it had the potential to be at least okay but was screwed over by poor marketing decisions

The Real Rokuro how?

+Tim Wielgot Child abuse, torture, assault and battery. There is quite a few laws this could fall under.

Pyrithe actually rape now that you mention it. Thanks for the reminder that this game is a sin.

Ikr

No, but you would have to live with the excruciating guilt at subjecting an innocent soul to such torment.

but I didn't remember when TTG lagged.

Definitely the worst reboot of an animated series

I think they replaced the Teen Titans characters with the cast of Sonic Boom.

Just please bring back the old segments and format please.

If you don't want it to be spoiled for you, why are you watching a review on it in the first place?

I liked knowing the end of a game I couldn't be bothered with finishing. But I get why it's gone, it kind of broke the flow of the rest of the content, being the only section that is exclusively about story, while the rest focused on gameplay.

+Fox Mc Loud ... to see whether or not the person recommends it or not? You don't look up a review to see the ending, if you played it before, you look it up for the person's input. If you have not played it before, you're looking if you want to play the game or not. Not to un-play it because of a spoiler. Yes, Jirard puts spoilers in his reviews before, but they are warned ahead of time and given a time stamp so that the viewer who has not played the game can actually play the game.

BassSinger313 / Aaron Vo instead of looking up or watching an in depth overall review of a game, why not just look up a rating on google, and looking at the other user reviews there?

EAPvideoz yeah people are very stubborn

Well one of the main problems is that this game was supposed to be multiplatform. So it was designed with the Xbox One development Kits. However due to the Sega/Nintendo deal they needed a third exclusive for the Wii U. Thanks to the tight release schedule (seriously you'd think companies would learn that shoving a game out is an awful idea) they had to basically jury rig a way to make an Xbox One developed game run only on the Wii U. It was a mess. I feel bad for Big Red Button, they got royally screwed by their higher ups.

Thank God someone said it

I mean C'MON! It's not even trying to be a Sonic game. So why say the whole series is shit because of one bad game that wasn't Sonic in tone or spirit

And there's another thing. BigRedButton started having development troubles and a loss in employees, which future cemented its execution. Big shame really.

Don’t forget the HELL that was hyrule warriors definitive edition

leandrasin your pic is fitting for this command XD

lol

remember when he did skyrim god knows what would hapen if he tried daggerfall XD

i felt knuckles' was great

Sonic and Tails are fine i guess but i really hate the new designs of Knuckles and Amy.

I actually love the new character designs... also, while most of the writing was terrible, three lines made me laugh in one of the earlier cutscenes. "You know what's better than an ambush?" "An ambush with ice cream?" "That sounds delicious, but no."

My favorite cutscenes was where Knuckles hit Sonic on the back and loses a ring or two. The character design is different, and most people don't accept changes.

I like the designs except for Knuckles. That just looks ridiculous, he has no neck and just looks like some beefed up steroid head with no brain cells. Also it's just weird that they all have similar body types except for him.

ArmosAviator Holy fuck, he must have knowledge about the Synergy phase of the project! Ask him! Is the NDA over yet?

ArmosAviator riggggght

totally true you fucking compulsive liar

Fullllllll of shiiiiiiiiit

ArmosAviator so your uncle..Works at Sega? Well, there we a go, a new horror game after "my uncle works at Nintendo"

MetalSmasherGaming I think he meant 3D, but that's not possible

lark - show Forces was good

Rob D. Idk man, I found it kinda dissapointing and frustrating.

I am the only one on Earth that thinks that but I actually like Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric. I love how funny the game is and the fact that the character talk with each other in the level. I also really love how glitchy the game is because it adds an extra power/objective to the game. When I played the game for the first time, I skipped two levels of the game including the one that features time travel by spamming spindash attacks with Sonic on a locked door and I somehow glitched through it and got the level behind it. It made my second time going through the game incredibly fun as I actually discovered what I had missed my first time playing Sonic Boom. I actually really like the new designs for the character especially chunky Knuckles because he is just so funny looking but also much better proportionated. The multiplayer was just so good as I had a blast going through the game with my little brother and the four character thing reminded me of Super Mario 3D World. The new whip attack was so fun and intuitive to use and the speed segments were a lot of fun too. The hub area was funny to mess around in and I just really enjoyed the game overall which is really surprising to me as I am not that much of Sonic fan normally.

So, Big Red Button was making a game and was showing it around to various studios. And Sega said, "we like it, put Sonic in it." But then later Sega said, "By the way, we know you were designing this for PC with the CryEngine, but this is a Wii U exclusive now." Since CryEngine isn't optimized for Wii U, and they were previously told they'd have a lot more power to work with, Sega basically fucked them over by forcing this game into their 3 game deal with Nintendo. So, that's the main reason behind the technical issues.

hi kohdok

Well Smash is a fighter. they don't explode in environments

Maybe someone shoulda told Sega the CREATORS OF THE CRYTEK ENGINE couldn't get it to work in the Wii U.....hell they'e probably try anyway.

masterofdoom5000 Sega clearly didn't give a fuck. Clearly all they wanted was a licensed game for the Sonic Boom show to come out near when the show started and to also finish up their 3 game deal with Nintendo at the same time.

At least the monster learned his lesson because it's a pretty good movie. Heck, it's the best game to movie adaptation ever made, seriously.

THEREDCAP gross...

This might be one week late, but if that ever happens, just refresh the video and it might play a new and skippable ad

ok. thanks for the tip!

Syafik Suhaimi yeah but then theres a really high chance youll get the same ad and youll probably end up wasting about 40 seconds trying to get rid of it and waiting through the whole thing anyway. It suuuuucks

7 tales Thanks. But I'd like to support the content creators of the stuff I consume, so no thanks

Metro Senpai and don't forget sonic 2017

Who Plays we haven't gotten any gameplay footage of it yet, so I don't wanna hype it up just yet. Since the team behind project 2017 made generations, I'm assuming it'll be wonderful though. :)

***** yeah because while they announced they sounded more... CONFIDENT wich I've hadn't see that since the video game war in the 90s

Lucky

I can imagine that would be better than this game

Sonic Generations is good too.

Even Sonic Lost World was enjoyable (to me, at least.)

+Arcadian Legend yeah don't get me wrong sonic generations is pretty good, I still like sonic colors more though, in fact sonic colors is probably one of favorite games of all time

+Patrick R yeah lost world isn't that good if you compare it some other sonic games but it's definitely more than enjoyable by itself

If we're talking about Sonic games that are decent to great, There's obviously the original 3 games plus S&K as well as Sonic CD and MAYBE Knuckles Chaotix. Maybe.. As for Game Gear games there's Triple Trouble and Tail's Adventure (not Skypatrol) though there are some who don't like that one. Pretty much all 3 Sonic Advance titles are great though SA2 is probably the worst of the 3 I find. There's also Sonic Rush. Speaking of, what's the general opinion of Sonic Rush Adventure? I hear the actual levels are good but everything else is bleh. Lastly there's Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 plus Heroes, which can be terrible or good depending on how much you are willing to embrace the jank. I don't think I'm missing anything else?

There was little familiar with Sonic.

I think he meant the style of the show...

I hope you're talking about the show, because this game needs more than a familiar vibe to be worth anything.

Yes I meant the show.

Luke Thoennes Even THEN it's not new because the happy tree friend writters kept screwing with the franchise's writing since Colors. And now they are working on boom.

Yes im really fond of tails and occasionally Amy's new design but everything else is just no

IXl_Sorrow_lXI Your last line has two syllables too many.

it's a reference to Game Grumps

It's a Game Grumps reference. Look up their play through for Sonic Boom, it should be episode 38. x:

Roserade Royale During their playthrough of Sonic Boom Dan made a Haiku that ended with "It's snowing on Mount Fuji." after a few jokes, Dan commanded that all Haikus must now all end with that line.

Cousin Timbo Tousen I'm never going to figure out what song plays at 20:00

This song comes from Sonic Generations on the 3DS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y_2g8zjh8os.html which is a remix of the saturn theme for 3D Blast ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jTEOidLMi9g.html

The one at the end sequence was sonic boom, as in the song from the opening cutscenes of sonic cd.

sonic cd's sonic boom is the best ever.

I have strong feelings against this, but whateves.

Anybody know the song at 20:00?

***** i dont think i've ever met a single sonic fan from the start the didnt like the song sonic boom.

Kevin Gould It might have something to do with my general dislike of vocals of women in music. Nothing against that, but I find that it generally is less appealing to me.
