Sonic Generations is way too Obsessed with Nostalgia
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Sonic Generations is a good game, sometimes it's even a great one. But is that enough for a rabid Sonic fan such as myself? Just kidding, but in all seriousness, yes Sonic Generations has a fixation with the past that it just can't seem to shake itself of. Does this hurt or hamper the experience?
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is Immaculate

Ah yes, Yooka-Laylee, y'all remember when these two tried to revive 3D collectathons back in 2017 and failed epicly? Well now they're back to try their hand at 2.5D platforming and...wow they actually pulled it off this time. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is an excellent addition to your platformer library. You won't be disappointed, trust me, but you will notice a few...imperfections. A...
I Was Wrong About Sonic Mania

In the aftermath of Sonic Superstars' release in October 2023, the landscape of classic 2D Sonic has changed. In what could have been the next legendary 2D Sonic game, Superstars has left a legacy that can only be described as...underwhelming. While not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, Superstars failed to truly stand out as anything beyond the territory of mediocrity. My experienc...
Donkey Kong Country 3 Deserves Better...or Does it?

The Donkey Kong Country series is perfect...well, almost perfect that is. After the cascading heights that were set by Donkey Kong Country 2, what was left for this series to accomplish? Should a 3rd a game be developed to try and beat out DKC 2, or should it be phoned in and made as an obligation to its fans? Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble is an interesting game to say the least...
Rayman 1 Is a Frustrating Masterpiece
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
There's no doubt that Rayman is one of the pioneers of platforming in games. He represents a satisfying era where games were all about pushing the limits of primitive hardwares of the 90's, and the title that kicked off the original series did just that, and much more. But in hindsight, did Rayman take things a bit too far with its overwhelming difficulty? And is this something that modern gami...

We can MAKE IT, if we all STICK TOGETHER Sonic Heroes teaches about friendship, going fast with friends, and conquering the enemy...with friends. A team-based mechanic encompasses this edition of 3D Sonic, stringing it along for quite the wild ride. Unfortunately, this ride just ran outta gas.

Pac-Man World is not Complex (And Why That's OK)

Pac-Man World is not Complex (And Why That's OK)
Ikr, people just refuse to get good
It's crazy because I never thought it was that hard and I've emulated it a million times. I was mad at you until you gave me a mod with new levels
One of my earliest memories was playing this game and it's easily one of my favorites of all time
Alright, it's good of you to say at least what you like about the game, respectable, but since I'm a Rayman Revolution stan, I'm gonna critique the hell outta this take, point by point (also, I'm just gonna preface this with saying, that it's nothing personal and your opinions are valid, I also have played the other versions, so I'm not talking outta my ass here, lastly, this is all for fun and isn't in any way meant to insult/hate on anyone, I just want an excuse to yap about Rayman): 4:18 No? Looks just like any ol' swamp monster to me! Give this game to a newbie and I bet they'd never tell! Also, why not add a big swamp monster to the background for effect? This doesn't detract from the game in the slightest. Just a nitpick really. 4:47 It WAS incredibly easy, since what most of the other versions did, is treat every enemy like its own separate encounter and making you focus on one enemy at a time, even when there's multiple. This made a lot of the early fights repetitive and drawn out! Revolution tweaked the enemy AI, so the fights would have a little bit more action, so each encounter wouldn't make you focus one at a time! Also, every group that has a couple of weaker enemies and some strong ones never intermingle them, letting you knock out a group of weaker ones, and then test you with one or two strong ones! Yes, there's more enemies, but they're never overwhelming, and they're always laid out in smaller or bigger "arenas" in sections of the levels! 5:25 Yes, Rayman 2's combat was bare-bones, but Revolution, well revolutionized the entire combat of the game and its progression system! See it's not just the old system, just more enemies, the combat is more streamlined to avoid slowing down the pacing of the game. Adding challenge to a game doesn't immediately make it worse, just harder, and with how painstakingly easy the og was, that's an improvement in my book. Plus, the new powerup system lets you unlock some of Rayman's upgrades much earlier, so it adds more freedom to what you can bring to a fight, and can make fights easier and go by faster! 6:26 Not at first>period! New enemies make the game way more interesting and add so much more thought into how you treat each enemy encounter! As for detracting from the platforming, that is just straight up not true! The original games had a problem with big empty spaces with nothing happening in them. Adding a few more pirates to them keeps the flow going. (and again big contained arenas, that don't overstay their welcome) The original games' platforming was already top-notch, and honestly didn't need much more tweaking! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 7:26 While I admit, they could've absolutely fixed those things, it isn't a deal-breaker on this game! 7:50 Ok, now that's a take I have an issue with! The new bosses are fun and creative! The Bidditank tests your spatial awareness, in being able to dodge his attacks, while also hitting all the switches to activate the cannon, Chenchille tests your ability to keep away a threat that keeps relentlessly chasing you down, while also being swarmed by tiny ankle-biters! And Grolem 13 tests your dodging ability and patience! (so in fact, please do get started on the game's new bosses, do tell what's so bad about them) 8:17 Ah but that was the original, not this game! The two combat systems are not the same (like I mentioned already) 8:55 On a more positive note, YES! I agree with you completely, I've heard from some Rayman 2 fans and/or purists, that this somehow makes this game worse than the original. To which I'm like <WHAT> Apparently adding a streamlined hub-world, that makes this whole world feel more interconnected, believeable and lived-in, somehow detracts from the game's experience? Nah man, this shit goooooood! What's the alternative to that? The isle/hall of doors, a linear, rudimentary level separator, that looks like a hobbled-together mess of little pieces of each level/long ass room with a river lined with portals with little to no background art? The hub world is in my opinion one of the biggest improvements this game could've made! 11:03 Again more of a nitpick that doesn't detract from the overall experience, and it's not as back-tracky as what some of the originals made you do! It's always contained to the current area of your progression! Plus it gives you more of the hub world to see and more details to appreciate! Each of these moments are tiny detours compared to Ray 2! 11:57 You know what? Fair point actually! Yeah, more platforming challenges would've absolutely added to the experience! Most of the entrances are just powerup checks to see if you have enough upgrades to go through! Sprucing it up a little would've absolutely been better than basic checks! Gold star for you! ⭐:) 12:29 And those do make up for some good bonus content, while also removing one of the most frustrating experiences from the original game! (I hate Top of the World, and I think turning it into an optional level was a great decision) 12:55 And again, just minor nitpicks. The hub world works fantastically and is very easy to get around, while also freeing up the progression system a little more! The combat? Much less repetitive and more action-packed, given the new Lum-based upgrade system and adding more golden fist powerups, which speed up the encounters considerably, and provided you are good at not getting hit, can be kept for practically the entire level! 14: 25 Really just feels like you're saying the same few things over and over again, yeah, the camera is bad, so was the one in Rayman 2! The hub world wasn't bogged down by anything! Powerup checks are powerup checks! Those are needed if you want a more free-form exploration system, rather than a linear one! The hub world is still a great way to connect every level, while still mostly sticking to the progression of the original, and it provides so many more details, helping to make the world more believable, and it's also just so good to look at! Seems, like you're making mountains out of molehills here, pardner! Some miscellaneous things I forgot to mention: 1. The voice acting in this game is phenomenal and really personified all the characters quite well! 2. Rayman Revolution adds "Raymanian" to the language selection, so you can still hear all the characters yap in the original game's gibberish! 3. Revolution adds a lum radar and the 1000th lum back in the game, so you can finally truly complete it, and the radar makes all the backtracking WAY more managable and less of a hassle! In conclusion, I think Rayman Revolution is better than the other versions and all the improved mechanics do a lot more than you give them credit for! It may not be for everyone, but it sure as hell isn't bad! Maybe next time you decide to critique something, give a bit more of a thought into it and explain your reasoning too? Thanks for listening to my yap, if you did! Later, nerds!
Revolutions is rayman 2 at it's best and most complete, personally, rayman 2 didn't feel complete due to hardware at the time.
I don't think so. The Rayman Creator said he prefers the Dreamcast Version
@hurricane7727 That's his opinion.
@jasperfox6821 I dunno myself. Dreamcast Version was nice looking too even comparable to Revolution graphic wise
First time I played this game was in Italy
As much as I love Wind Waker, I have to admit that if the Great Sea were replaced with a big grass field, and you had a horse that could run as fast as the King of Red Lions could sail, people would endlessly shit on it for having a big empty open world.
I'm gonna just say CAP and leave.
The lead developer of sonic 3-D blast John Burton made a directors cut of the genesis version with things like an added level editor, a password system, supersonic, and other quality of life improvements, and you can play through a mod on the steam workshop and it was released by John Burton as well
hater!
I don't know if this is a troll video, or just a lot of overthinking.
underrated channel
11:10 I’m pretty sure the King of Red Lions tells Jabun that this Link is *not* a descendant of the Hero of Time
Sonic 3 and knuckles has a save feature. I can't see why u would play them separately. Especially as u need the lock on to play as knuckles.
This was my childhooood. I never beat the last slide level lmao
As a child, I played a lot of platformers, including Rayman 1, and that's why I became very good at these types of games. It might be particularly difficult for some, but for me, it's a fun challenge
Bruh do you not know how to drift it’s like the main mechanic of the game 😭 every time you go off the track and get hit in the footage you played could’ve been avoided if you just drifted
I agree! He deserves to share the spotlight with Sonic
Nice man, but play the sequel Tides of Time too, is easier and more athmospheric.
It does not hold up, its an outdated and ugly piece of shit.
I think you're missunderstanding a bit what this games tries to do. Shadow Generations, even though not a flawless Sonic game, works to introduce the new (modern) generation of people to Sonic. That's why there's this "on-your-face" design, or why it overrelies on nostalgia / stuff from past games. This is a spin-off title the same way Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) is. Of course, you can call this game mainline since it's made by Sonic Team (same as Shadow 05), but it must be acknowledged that this game's scope is way inferior to a default lenghty mainline title like Frontiers.
Also, comparing Shadow Gens to a movie because of how "lenghty" the mid-level cutscenes are is wild. I guess you are not going to enjoy games like Metal Gear. Which is a miss in my books, since I really value a lot the cinematic value and narrative design of a game.
Shadow Generations is going to release a video about " "Shadow Generations is a Moder Video Game" Is a modern video essay"
Shadow gen is harder than sonic gen bro, sonic gen is a baby game to s-rank, this one actually forces you to learn some levels for it.
I 100% agree with pretty much everything you said in this video, im a hardcore sonic fan but even i can see how mediocre this game is. Shadows my favorite character but nowadays hes flanderized and now with this game hes regressed yet again! Shadow let go of the past in the true ending of his own game he moves on and he should KEEP moving on
W take
That was the entire theme of the game
There’s nothing wrong with his character in the game and it’s far from mediocre.
@@AshSarkar-jx2pp could you elaborate on why?
@AdventureBoy06-s5o It’s a game about time travel and shadow interacting with characters he’s met and having nice banters with all the characters something that og generations lacked.
people say this game is too obsessed with bringing back nostalgia, but it's literally the f**kin point
You should try Undertale Last Breath it's a challenging Undertale fangame
since when were sonic games about challange? and bro generations is not hard lmao.
sonic frontiers: ahem
@XR-Creator_YT that's only the dlc you could've just said unleashed
@@Meatloaf456 ik But unleashed would've been too obvious Also that pinball section in chaos island and former true final boss:
this is a very modern video 😬
Now what do we mean by that? We mean that this video was a video that was released in 2024
rayman revolution is the best version by a country mile
yeah, remake of 2011 game that re-represent you levels and character from 2001. Sounds VERY modern
personally don’t agree with this but i can respect you putting in work for your review ❤️ keep pushing
"the game is way too obsessed with nostalgia" No shit Sherlock! The game celebrates Shadow's history! Are you gonna say Sonic Generations relies too much on nostalgia as well? It's the whole point of the generations games. If you're gonna make a video essay about a game, at least make compelling points instead of complaining about stupid shit that makes 0 sense.
"WTF WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FOOTBALL IN THIS MADDEN GAME?!"
It’s so painfully boring. The game wastes so much time. I don’t care enough to get through it. It’s just a snooze fest.
Idk bout this one chief. Game's fun as fuck and half of the unlockable art is brand new stuff we've never seen like the weird old plucked-chicken lookin design for the Biolizard
I agree with your criticisms, but I still prefer this version than the PS1 version.
Ps1 version isn't that bad. Ds and 3ds versions are way worse than Ps1 Version
This is a veeeeeeery inconsistent review, the combat is annoying to we need more to make the world more coherent, also the overworld is cool and wonderful to its tacted on and not needed..... 🤔
Yeah, like, what? Pick a lane, dude! Amiright
I liked this charming little game. I thought it was a cute and decent start to the series. My first game in the series was Kirbys Adventure. I didn't play this one till the wii collection. As a kid, i turned my nose up at the Gameboy. But the few I've tried are pretty fun. Except Castlevania Adventure. And Ages sometimes makes me mad.
The open ocean is easy. Just charge at the bottom and surface twice. Thank goodness for the short cut in city of forever.
Its a cute little buncha mini games.
You don't have to sugar coat this game as much as you did. IMO the bosses and especially the land of the living dead are some of the most memorable experiences I had in gaming, ever since I got this game as a kid.
i luv wind waker
This is the opposite of content.
They juggle with so many elements together. For instance, that gawd-damn caterpillar with yellow eyes appears much early (Fairy Glade) whereas in the original (Cave Of Bad Dreams). In a nut-shell, it has it's flaws.
HOW is it better
I just bought the original version on gog, bt one say i hope to play this version as well
❤ 🐬
4:20 This is like the minish cap introduction. The cap has no backstory, it's just a cap that somehow lets one shrink. Navi and Tatl are better partners
1:06 Still expecting for this game
Did you know this game has cheat codes . Just Google it , but don't just go by just one website because they made several different codes . I also hear you can use an Action Replay device as well with its own codes.
Fin to the feather. The second one Was better but so damn hard.
you are full of shit
