“Am I gonna boycott the game?” *Pulls out special edition* “Absolutely not!” 😂😂
not knowing what she was actually offered
6:14 such a moment! haha
I just love watching his reviews. I need friends this enthusiastic about gaming just as much as me. LOL yes I'm 36 and absolutely love videogames, I have a career in Healthcare Supply Chain Management and still provide for my family first and foremost, BUT I just happen to be a respectful responsible adult with a passion for gaming outside of the workplace.... No harm being done to anyone while enjoying my hobby as long as my household is taken care of first 🎮😎
I’m 38 and still love games just as much as I did when I was younger. My wife plays games but my friends really aren’t into it as much as we are so it’s always nice to meet older people that are into video games lol.
@That One Geek Site that's awesome! My Wife plays as well but we have noticed that PS5 games running in 60 fps give her very bad motion sickness, so her selection of games are limited for sake of her getting nauseous.
I am so happy I found this channel. Positive and friendly and fun. All things the world needs more of.
This dude has the right attitude and it makes watching his channel 20x better
Yup, one of the best/most fun channels on RUclips.
For Sonic you NEED to change to "Performance mode". Dont know why they put the 30fps mode by default.

Probably to enhance the graphic more. With a fast action game, performance to speed up the fps is necessarily.
@@CaptAwesumNo1Zone my favourite Sonic game!! SO AWESOME 🔥
Sonic frontiers is amazing. Trashing a game for “muh graphics” is pretty lame and you need to play and get into it more than 5 min.
The better question, like John said: WHY isn't the game optimized for PS5? I would imagine PS5 being able to handle Sonic Frontier.
I am playing Ys VIII for the first time based on your recommendation and I'm loving it!
It's one of the greatest video games (not just RPGs) ever created.
Welcome to the Isle of Seiren. We're glad you discovered such an incredible game.
@@OtterloopB I like how beautiful the setting is. Reminds me of Chrono Cross. Hard to find games like those.
I loved the setting, music , and gameplay got close to 100% as well
I bought it about a week and a half ago. I was looking for a anime JRPG and this one caught my eyes just because I thought the cover art was cool. I mean who doesn't like blue-haired anime chicks, right? It was on sale for like $18 so I bought it and I have to say it's one the the most fun and interesting gaming experiences I've had in a long time. I'm getting close to the end I'm hoesntly bummed about it. I don't want it to end. Love love love it to bits and pieces.
I remember the first time I played Ys Book 1 & 2 way back in the 1990s on the TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM. It blew my mind. My God that soundtrack is STILL incredible.
Make sure to put Sonic Frontiers into the 1080p 60 FPS mode in settings and do continue playing. The game picks up steam, as well as the story. The boss fights are badass as well.
they should have started the game with a boss as tutorial to show the players what sonic frontiers is all about. i love the loop of defeating the mini bosses in the world to get the gears to jump in the cyber stages to get the keys to then get the emerald.
It's really 1880p according to Digital Foundry
@@ADistantImage oook =) all i know that is look really good. i see no pixels.

Also try turning off HDR, not every game is HDR on PS5 either. Tales Of Arise and Demon Slayer aren't either. I think Dying Light 2 isn't either. Also, try going in blind like the good ol days that's what I've been doing lately and its working wonders for me. No more reviews for me. I can think of a few critical darlings that I can't stand. And at the end of the day, Reviews are just that one person explaining why they like something. Self-discovery is king.
I put sonic on performance mode. Never experienced the frame rate drops like you did. Playing it on ps5. In my opinion, probably one of the best 3D sonic experiences.
I got into the Ys series back when Ys 6 came out in the mid 2000s, about 15 years or so ago. Then I came upon your channel and realized that I had missed out on all the others.
I’ve now played Ys I, II, Celceta, Felghana, Kefin, and am currently halfway done with VIII. Thanks for the recommendation! These games are so much fun.
If you have time and can emulate, I suggest you play the turbografx cd versions of Ys 1-4. All those titles can be played in english
Playing ys 8 for the first time 15 hours in and I'm loving it.
I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying Sonic Frontiers! I'm having a blast with it, personally.
I think I really started to fall in love with it after completing the first world. It was kind of a slow burn for me. took me a while to really understand what they were going for. It's like a weird mix of Sonic Adventure, BoTW and Mario Odyssey.
JOHNNY PLAY SONIC GENERATIONS ON 360
Yeah, I just got to the second island, and I'm loving it.
Don't worry in 30 days well get an update video...and he will say "my God I love this game!" 😄
Good way of putting it.
Good for you for getting Bayonetta 3. Not only is your money supporting people in the short term, but it’s helping to set up the company and staff for future productions as well.
Ys VIII is so darn awesome!! Got my limited edition ordered and waiting as well. Can't wait to go back to the Isle!
Me too. Playing the PS4 version currently. I guess the ps5 version will have a separate trophy list, slight graphical enhancements, more DLC, etc.
Plus i’m grabbing the limited edition which i missed before. Also preordered the Ys 9 limited too…
have been playing soul hackers 2, i can see why most people have problems with it, but im still enjoying it. i like the "not everyone in your party are necessarily good people" vibe it has
Right now I’m playing the first Bayonetta, Gravity Rush 2 and Return to Monkey Island, 3 absolute gems ❤
Nice video as usual 🎉
I also love sonic adventure, it's very close to my heart. I knew frontiers was going to be a departure from previous games and I went into it with an open mind, and I've really been enjoying it! Sonic for me is about innovation and new ideas, changing direction constantly will throw a lot of people off but it's something I cherish about the franchise. Just like it's mascot, sonic team is always on the move and I wouldnt change it for anything.
Thanks so much for all the continued content! Your videos really deliver a sense of joy to my day 👊🏼❤️🤘🏼
With Sonic Frontiers, I'd say turn 60 fps mode on in the settings and keep giving it a try! It really is the most fun 3d Sonic game in years and it kinda goes back to basics with the character count which is nice
I've been playing Tales of Xillia, been getting more into the Tales of series. I'm excited to play Y'S VIII for the first time at some point in the near future! I've played every other game in the series but never VIII haha. Thanks for another great video Johnny!
Sonic Frontiers is flawed but has been very fun for me which should ultimately be the most important factor. Better than being technically sound and boring. I'm 43 and skipped most of the 3d Sonic stuff after Adventure 2 just like you but this one hit the spot for me. My jaw has dropped a few times too!
It’s so weird seeing people old enough to be my parents here you are almost as old as my parents (they are 47)
What is weird about it? Johnny is older than your parents.
I’m 47 next month and playing more games than ever……. Are you supposed to sit and read a news paper with a pipe and slippers after a certain age instead pmsl
@@joshday3668 he is?
@@johnhall8564 I just wouldn’t think you guys have the capability to play anymore
Ys 8 is awesome. Really excited about the news earlier this year from that Ys 10 will be coming out in September 2023. Who eise is excited for Ys 10?
That’s coming out for Japan. We still have to wait after that for it to be localized
@@davidcook9875 Yeah, add 6 months to whatever the final japanese date will be and that's when we will probably play it.
Looking forward to it 100%
I'm halfway through dragon quest 11 and then I need to play Ys 9 first so I have no problem waiting haha.
I’m really enjoying Sonic Frontiers. I’ve played over 20 hours already, doing every little challenge and finding all of the collectibles along the way. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is still my favorite game in the series BUT this game is almost beating it out! The Ys games are awesome as well, played them back in the day on the PSVITA.
Be careful I got burn out that way now I wish I was in the last world and just clean up later
I like the way you hold Sonic in the thumbnail 😂
If you're having issues with the framerate in sonic frontiers on PS5 I recommend putting it in performance mode. Its been a rock solid framerate for me doing that and has made the game way more appealing.
Loving Sonic Frontiers. I'll wrap up the platinum trophy today. I'll definitely be putting Ys on my radar for afterwards.
Really wish I had played Sonic Frontiers on PS5 for the trophies. I was on the third island when I realized this game is actually not exclusive to Switch.
I upgraded to the PS+ premium and finished both YS8 and YS9. I cannot believe I didn’t know about this series and I LOVE it. I do think 8 is way better than 9
Right now, I'm playing Lost Judgement on PS5, Metroid Dread & WarioWare Get It Together on Switch. All three games are awesome games.
New to your channel, glad I found ya. You got a really cool energy about you, thanks for the vid!
Started playing ys 8 for the first time a couple days ago. Holy shit the soundtrack has no business being that rockin lol
Ye it's one of the best. And good news: it's going to get better some of the best tracks come late in the game.
I beat ys 8 last year on PS4 and just itching for a excuse to replay the story, I'll definitely be purchasing the PS5 version. Ys 8 was THAT GOOD 👍
JOHNNY PLAY SONIC GENERATIONS ON 360
I remember playing the game for the first time and when I heard deadly temptation I literally had to stop and just jam to the music lmao. It's been a few years since I first played it but I still listen to the soundtrack to this day.
Its so good. Especially sunshine coastline
You rock! Sonic Adventure blew my mind as an 8 year old and also as a 31 year old
I'm not playing anything new, but starting RE1 director's cut on PS1 and doing an entire series run. I've only finished RE4 and RE5, so it's gonna be a journey to say the least.
Thanks for mentioning the Ys VIII limited edition. Didn't know it was coming out and I was able to pre-order the other day.
The subtle middle finger to Sonic Frontiers in the thumbnail. I see you.
I'm playing Sonic Frontiers on ps5 in 60fps mode with VRR enabled and it's been pretty smooth. Def recommend immediately switching off of the default 4k graphics mode.
I'm really enjoying the game. It's refreshing to have Sega's sense of style with music and aesthetic in an open world design. Considering the collectathon past of platformers, the two formats gel well together. Reminds me of how fun Immortals Fenyx Rising is.
And this is exactly why they should have had the preformance mode as Default setting in Sonic.
Just found your channel really loving all the gaming chat👍
Special shout out for Tactics Ogre Reborn. Awesome remake/remaster. For some reason, the reviewers that seem like they would review it, aren't covering or mentioning it even though they got a free review copy from Square. Weird.
Awesome video and I honestly cannot wait to play the first Bayonetta - definitely missed out on that so hoping to get the first one soon and check it out next year!
Sonic Frontiers completely captured my heart and is a contender for my game of the year, something I never thought another Sonic game would be able to do. I think you're completely dead wrong about in every respect. First, set it to performance mode, then open your mind to the new gameplay style. I'm twenty hours in and cannot put it down, and will likely restart it right away upon completion.
Ys IX was incredible so definitely will be buying this soon as I can thank u so much for recommending Monstrum Nox for me
Just found this channel and really enjoying the content and energy. New subscriber. You rock, keep it up! Greetings from Egypt o/
There are some gems of Sonic games post Dreamcast
- The Advance trilogy
- Rush Duology
- Colours wii and DS version
- Generations love letter to the past 20th anniversary game
- Mania pure classic action
Frontiers has potential the controls if slightly faster and add the spindash got Sonic Adventure controls and add the momentum back and the new formula will be good.
*1* Bayonetta 3
*2* Tactics Ogre Reborn (Switch)
*3* Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope
*4* Persona 5 Royal (Switch)
*5* Rogue Legacy 2 (Switch)
*6* Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak
*7* Nier Automata (Switch)
Performance mode on PS5... runs smooth as butter and feels amazing in 60fps
River City Girls 1 and 2 collection is releasing on December 1st and I'm excited for that. Also, Akai Katana is coming to the Switch in December, that's a day 1 buy for me, I love a good bullet hell shooter.
Y’s VIII is on ps plus! Excited to check that game out. I got a ps5 a few months ago and have been loving it.
Recently I just beat “God of War” (2018) for the first time (I didn’t have a ps4 last generation, only Xbox one) to prepare for “god of war: ragnarok” which I have now. I also recently played Spider-Man Remastered, that game looks SO good on ps5. Lots in the backlog, and not enough time to game as I work a lot. But thankful for the machine! I also really dug Gran Turismo 7, which was kind of broken (so I hear) at launch, but which polyphony has fixed a lot of the issues with as far as progression. That game (to me) is very fun now. Enjoyed it! Thanks for the videos!
Love your content.
Thanks for being so honest about Sonic Frontiers. I am still on the fence and your opinion on this game makes me just think I’ll wait some more. Awesome video!
I loved Bayonetta 3 , Sonic frontiers and Danganronpa ultra despair girls
Just about finished Valkyrie Elysium. It has it's drawbacks BUT the einherjar memories are so well written and are a great way to enjoy some storytelling that may be lacking in the main quests.
I’m a couple hours into the game and the main story does feel kinda barren. Still a fun reprieve from turn based RPGs.
Playing on Valkyire difficulty since I love to get into the mechanics & utilizing the skill without getting too overpowered in most RPGs I play. The game isn't merciful and it took me 3hrs just to finally get my 1st Einherjar. Plus, the memory snippets are great on vocals and storytelling as you stated.
i had zero frame rate issues with sonic. i played in performance and it stayed locked 60fps. you notice it right away. i felt you got more out of 60fps mode than graphic mode for what each is suppose to give.
I heard Sonic gets better after the 1st open world/area/level. Keep playing & give us an update!
One of my favorite RUclipsrs ever, been watching u forever Johnny
I really like Sonic Frontiers! Best 3d sonic since generations and unleashed. Performance mode is best and yeah some pop in but its good. I also got the collectors edition of ys 8. My 4th time buying it haha. Got collectors edition of Bayonetta 3 too
Hi Johnny
You have to check this game: Huntdown !
Easily one the best games on the switch inspired from the 80’s games like contra
I saw Bayonetta 3, Ys VIII and Sonic Frontiers and clicked right away!
John liked Bayonetta so much he married her.
Been playing that sonic frontiers… I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying it. I bought it because I thought it would be “interesting,” but I’m having some legitimately great fun
how good were the old games ! i would love if someday i feel the same feelings playing games again like Demons Crest, a link to the past, super metroid and so many masterpieces !
I’m playing Shredder’s Revenge, Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles DE. They all are fun to play, but Shredder’s Revenge is so easy to pick up and play through that it’s getting the most love at the moment.
I'll echo what everyone else has said and say absolutely change sonic to performance mode. It's crazy that it's not on by default. I've also heard that it does pick up steam, I do not own the game yet but these are things I hear constantly
Just bought Prodeus and absolutely adore it. I cannot put it down.
I never expected Frontiers to be related to Adventure in any way, and I had a blast. Finished in about 20 hours, mostly fishing. I'll take my time on the 2nd playthrough.
I've Ys VIII on preorder for ps5. Will be my first Ys
Like the way you're holding Sonic Frontiers in the thumbnail 🤣
Someone else on RUclips said (about Sonic Frontiers) that at first he did not enjoy playing it but that, as he went on, the game suddenly became fun.
Finished Bayonetta 3 yesterday, this is a masterpiece, one of the Best games on switch, platinum games rocks
The big games I've been loving are Star Ocean The Divine Force... and Sonic Frontiers xD
I've been loving Frontiers, personally, and I think a few people have mentioned this, but go to the options and switch it to performance mode!
I've honestly been loving Frontiers, the story, atmosphere and just using Sonic's skills to explore open zones and find things. Plus, the bosses and mini-bosses are pure badass!
Yeah. Some games even manage to rotate the skyboxes, givin big atmosphere.
Babe wake up, new HCG upload.
Definitely go into the settings for Sonic Frontiers and change it to 60fps. Even on PS4, i haven't really had that many fps issues, if any. The game also gets way better once you get out of that initial Tutorial section of the 1st island, literally when it says "Sonic is free to explore" or something like that.
I just finished Valkyrie Elysium which I enjoyed a lot and am now starting up Luigi's Mansion 3 which I am playing based on your recommendation along with my girlfriend's recommendation also. First time playing through any of the Luigi games and am finding it cute and wonderful
Hey there, Johnny - long time running Sonic fan here.
First off, I just wanted to say, thank you so much for picking up Sonic Frontiers, and giving it a fair chance to begin with. A lot of people, including myself, have been waiting for a really fun, decently good 3D Sonic game for ages now. However, I completely understand where you're coming from, when it comes to expecting a world more like SA1s.
Two games that come to mind, that re do what Sonic Adventure did with it's in game hub worlds and atmosphere, are Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, and Sonic Unleashed, A.K.A Sonic World Adventure.
For a long time now, a lot of people consider Unleashed to be the best of the franchise. It's definitely a good one, but I'm not so sure if it takes that cake. Even so, between 06 and Unleashed, Unleashed is definitely the better one of the two. It does recapture the same magic as Sonic Adventure 1 does for sure. However, the Werehog idea may come off as off-putting at first, but the in game levels are still pretty great, and control well. I recom playing the game on Series X, as it's the absolute best way to experience it.
Sonic Frontiers is basically, an unofficial soft reboot for the series, in terms of gameplay. This game, is just the beginning of what Sonic Team wants to do for the next 10 years of Sonic. Not only that, Takashi Iizuka, the game's director, went on record saying that he wants to eventually make Sonic Adventure 3. There are even shelved remakes of Adventure 1 and 2, that the team may pick up again sometime soon. So yeah... You truly never know, when it comes to Sonic. Time will tell.
Watching Sonic run around in the "open zone" makes me want to buy it.
Bayonetta 3, fantastic loved it.
It is wild, amazing, and taps deep into the feels. Plus it is challenging, and lots of fun. Btw Kim is totally Bayonetta
Sonic Frontiers, I am close to 20 hours of playtime, absolutely love it. Progression takes some time, but worth the effort. Exploring the world, plus the Cyber Space stages, and the bosses.
The soundtrack is so good. Give it another chance
I've just started Ys VIII as it's on PS Plus Premium. Only around a few hours in but enjoying it.
I've preordered Ys 8 special edition on PS5 for release day in UK this coming Friday 18th - can't wait! Also preordered Ys 9 on PS5 for 6 months time
I’ve been playing an old school, awesome survival horror game. SIGNALIS. It’s on gamepass. The attention to detail, the atmosphere, the graphics, and music/sound are all perfectly done. So awesome.
Same for me. Got Signalis on Game Pass and it's fantastic. Easily the best horror game of the year so far and not only respects the classics, but nails everything from the level design, sound, graphics and puzzles. It's a surreal, immersive experience that I really enjoyed.
@@ShigKirby Absolutely.
2022 is pretty much over for me now, but dang 2023 is going to be stacked
Just finished Bayonetta 3, going back and playing more and trying more weapons.
Bought Ys 8 for the switch a little while ago, but havnt got around to it yet
I just picked up Atari 50. I'm about to check it out.
Alright, Sunday morning Johnny time! Damnit, what am I doing….lol. Love this guys channel. The best!!
“I really want to talk about these games that rock! …and sonic frontiers” 😂
I have gone all out with gaming,due to an unforeseen illness last week, it’s the most free time I’ve had in forever. Playing MW2 and enjoying it in spurts ( haven’t bought one in years), loving Sonic frontiers (60 fps mode or bust), Bayonetta 3 is great. I have been playing all the boomer shooters on my steam deck and absolutely loving them, highlights are Prodeus, nightmare reaper, and cultic. It has definitely kept my mind off of being ill, what a great time to be a gamer
I've been playing through Live A Live for the 2nd time. Doing the little secrets, and secret encounters. After completing it I plan on playing Tactics Ogre Reborn.
Great video Happy Gamer. I too enjoyed Ys VIII, but I never finished it because I have ADHD and I got into another game. But it's cool that it has been released on PS5. I'll definitely have to get it. I'm currently playing GoW Ragnatok, Gotham Knights, and the new Star Ocean game. I'm looking forward to playing the remake of Crisis Core. But ultimately I'm very excited to play FF7 Remake 2 and FFXVI.
Me and my 7 year old son recently completed sonic forces and thought it was great!! He wanted to try this one out but always good to get Johnny’s opinion on games as we watched a video and I thought frontiers looked crap 😂 thanks for the confirmation 👍
30h in Bayonetta 3 and still cant put it away ! The combat is so addictive , so graceful , so stylish.
The best newest Sonic game I’ve played is Sonic Generations for PS3. It not only feels like Sonic Adventure but also pays homage in fun ways.
Frontiers is destined to be classic up there with the Adventure games.
I missed out on Sonic growing up. I had Nintendo. Sonic Adventure was my first Sonic game I got at launch with my Dreamcast and it was awesome! This game reminds me of that first experience I got with Adventure. I picked up the PS5 version $35 for Black Friday.
Let me start off by saying I love this channel!
Games I'm currency playing:
Switch- Bayonetta 3, Persona 5 Royal, BloodRayne 2 Revamped
PS5- God of War Ragnarok, Sonic Frontiers after I finish GOW
Series X- A Plague Tale Requiem
My copy of YS 8 for PS5 will be delivered tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to Pokémon on Friday and Callisto Protocol in a few weeks.
Side note for Sonic Frontiers you need to go to the options and change mode to performance for a (mostly) smooth 60fps at a dynamic 1800p, the performance is even better if you have a TV that supports VRR. The default mode you are playing the game is at 30fps with frame pacing issues, that's why you are seeing a lot of stutter...
Digital Foundry has a video that shows all the different modes for each console, and the PS5 and Series X versions are the best by far. Because of the 60fps option.
Hopefully you stick with Sonic Frontiers, because I hear it's a great game! 👍
I personally have been loving sonic frontiers. That first major boss along with the music is just so damn good.
Great video. I been playing Gotham knights and mw2
I’m currently playing Tactics Ogre Reborn, Pokémon Violet, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. I’m super excited for Front Mission 1st: Remake.
Bayonetta 3, GOW Ragnarok, Persona 5 Royale rocks, I want The Quarry, COD MW2 and Asterigos for Christmas, and excited for Pokémon Violet. Gaming backlog in full effect.
OG sonic fan … on PS4 frontiers has really surprises me. Keep going back to it especially when we get max rings for max speed, spend hours literally just running around parkouring lol
I was getting flashes of a 3D remake of Stardust Speedway 3’s Bad Future. The second boss triggered it. The match with Metal Sonic just flooded into my thoughts.
Needless to say, if that happened to me, the game left an impression on me and I cant wait to see what they do next, or what happens when they strike a home run!
I got Ys VIII on the Switch maybe a year after it came out, and once I played it, I regretted not getting the special edition because of how much I enjoyed it. I'm glad it's re-released so I can finally get the special edition and also enjoy the game all over again (though I need to finish playing through Ys VI and VII before I do that!)
Johnny, I'm like you with the Sonic games, but I highly recommend Sonic Generations. Play it on Series X, it's full 4K and 60 fps. Awesome game!
Can't wait for Ys X!
On my Nintendo switch I loved Ys Viii Lacrimosa of Dana!
Sonic Frontiers is amazing. Imagine playing Breath of the Wild for less than an hour and then just shutting it off. There's so much to explore and collect. The boss fights are fun. You can actually level up and get some awesome combos. It defaults to graphics mode. So change it to performance mode. That will help with the framerate
