I like how he just casually skipped over the new special stages that the encore mode offers which is more challenging compared to the main Mania mode and also ignores the checkpoint bonus game that's way more fun that the blue spheres.
dont let blue sphere guy hear you
I forgot 💀
whoopsie daisy, but god damn I'm a yap master 😭🙏
@@Toadiath I can be worse dw 💀
Speak for yourself
it's painful watching this guy try to convince people encore mode sucked
Read my comment and see how I find this video painful lmao, this guy needs to be called out
IKR
watching an xpool video is like going to chic fil a on a sunday
Real
Impossible
27:55 mate, it's not sega's fault you skipped the tutorial that's on you
this is Sonic Mania Plus *SLANDER* and I will NOT stand for it.
Encore Mode is much, much more than just stage recolors while adding Mighty and Ray - it has new, harder Special Stages; a new checkpoint mini-game that's a pinball machine; a game mode which has Continues which jells perfectly with the aforementioned pinball machine; some new pathways for Mighty to take; and even a BRAND NEW ACT for Mirage Salloon ACT 1 which is EXCLUSIVE to the Encore Mode - and that ACT? that ACT is probably the best Sonic stage that I've EVER played and probably WILL play.
could it have been better? yes, not even the best things are perfect: I would've preferred a brand new campaign with other returning levels and some new ones sprinkled in - I would've done it in reverse of how Sonic Mania did [4 levels from Sonic 1, 3 levels from Sonic 2, 2 levels from Sonic CD, 2 levels from Sonic 3 and 1 brand new level for Encore Mode] akin to how the Special Stages are reversed in this game mode.
...but I also REALLY like how Encore Mode is a GREAT way to play the entire game again with a new, unique spin on it. it's a palette cleanser for Mania Mode when you're tired of it, and it's actually one of the many reasons I have 1000+ hours in Sonic Mania.
Yeah, Mania plus is great, especially for less than $10. I honestly don’t really get the hate for that.
@@mehiloll I feel the reason for the hate isn't downright vitriol but moreso a need for MORE Sonic Mania, because they like it so much; instead of a downright extension of the game [New levels], we got EVEN MORE replayability: an enhancer!
thank you uray
Lmao I feel like this video was just rushed that’s all, he is being so picky like if he hasn’t even played the games
He doesn’t like Mania’s encore, GET THE PITCHFORKS!
XPool suffering with final horizon is the most xpool thing ever.
Funny, when I was playing the final horizon and fighting Knight for the trials, I somehow didn't die when all of my rings were drained. That's the ONLY way I beat that stupid trial.
22:34
I don’t understand what this line means. She only was a damsel in distress 2 or more times. CD and SA1 comes to mind, and Riders too.
And the only other times she was a “damsel in distress” was when Sonic’s world or timeline was in danger. Sonic Prime, Sonic Lost World, and Sonic Generations comes to mind. Which even then, I don’t count as everyone was in danger, not just her.
So this line doesn’t make sense as she already became more independent a long time ago.
Getting a LOT of Scott the Woz vibes from this vid in particular, I dig it.
The final horizon section of this video, with the exception of the king trial and the final boss, sounds like you didn't judge it for what it is, but for what it wasn't: you didn't trying to engafe with the game as the devs intended
7:43
It was just five dollars. At least we got what we paid for?
Yeah, like they never promised a whole new game, what would you expect from a $5 DLC? It surpassed my expectations atleast. $5 is worth it imo. Seems like an overreaction to be honest, but it’s his opinion.
YOUR HANDS AREN'T BLUE!
i hope you don't actually mind if chill positive people actually liked final horizon
No man on earth should have this much sonic origins plus all at once
EDIT: I think you should at the very least try the last frontiers patch. The final trial is actually balanced now and the changes made to knuckles make him really fun. You mentioned those changes, but I don't think you realized how much of a difference they can make
Agree that the patch makes it way better. But before that, yeah, Update 3 was like the worst game in the series as of recently
@@Hyp3rSonic for free that's still one hell of a deal
@@playbossthebest936technically true, I just wished that it was good originally
@@Hyp3rSonic it was good in parts
@@playbossthebest936let’s just hope that rumored SEGA super game is for Frontiers 2 or something. Cuz let me tell you, I have been waiting SO LONG for a high budget Sonic game again after Unleashed. Hopefully they don’t trash all the new ideas introduced in Frontiers and innovate on them more.
thought you were a huge channel until i finally looked slightly down - really engaging content ! like your outlook. you’ll definitely there one day, good luck in this youtube hellscape
All of this dude’s mannerisms are taken directly from Scott the Woz who else noticed this?
Am I the only one who loves sonic frontiers update 3?
No
No. I loved it, and while I get why some may not like it, it kinda feels like people are overreacting.
Nope, I love Update 3, I now have Frontiers as my second favourite Sonic Game because of it
No even though I didn’t play it I liked the final battle with I’m here revisitied playing in the background
Nope, he literally is just stupid and thinks that encore mode is only a palette swap of the normal game pretty much
Xswimmingpool is finally back with the milk
Sonic origins and sonic colors ultimate(and update 3 of frontiers post-patch) are the best ones listed here, imo.
Alternative title: Xpool complaining about sonic updates for half an hour straight
The final horizon update just proves that Sega needs to give Somic Team time. They rushed it, but thank God it didn't tank it's success.
As if they will ever learn. They'll forget this by the next game.
@@ChiefMedicPururu
Seems like they didn't given that Sonic Team now has new additions, including Sonic Pillar. There's also the fact that Sonic X Shadow Generations's development is over and it's now in the quality assurance process, maybe Sega did learn.
@@magical_pixie_horse7346 Wait for release before saying that, or you'll jinx it.
@@ChiefMedicPururu
Good point
Poggers speedrun. When do you think that you’ll make the sub 6 months release??
update 3 is good, and after replaying it most of it isn’t that hard. the only real criticisms i have are the master king koco trial (just turn on easy mode right before and turn it off right after) and some unclear mechanics in the final fight (but it’s so epic i don’t care, just look up how to do it)
I respectfully disagree about update 3. But it did definitely gotten better with the December patch
the last horizon update looks cool but i never really bothered to play it cuz i didnt even end up liking frontiers that much lol
Okay gonna have to disagree with that update 3 take.
I respectfully disagree. It got better with that patch tho
Can you elaborate
@@TokuWaffle I mean, I certainly could. But I am very bad at explaining things, so I'd probably mess it up.
agreed. i absolutely loved Frontiers. updates and all. i understand the faults with Knuckles, Amy, and Tails and how they play but i still enjoyed using them. Amy was just more fun in my opinion out of the three
@@TokuWafflethe final boss is bad(it barely explains anything) the 2nd trial is also bad, knuckles glide pre-patch is very wonky, Tails and Knuckles have a couple of attacks that wastes 1 to 3 seconds every time you start them, the cyclone can skipp everything, you dont rly have to explore any non-mani story stuff, knuckles has some weird issues climbing walls, you have to grind to be actually able to fight the miniboss in a reasonable amount of time, Tails doesn't have a homing attack, the towers are very flawed, the king master trial is one of the worst things ever in the sonic series(wyvern wastes so much more, in the fight and before) and you have to parry 1 to 2 seconds before it looks like they will hit you. Also, having to go back to the tower to change characters, 4-B kinda sucking near the end with the falling platforms, the pop-in being even more egregious here, and you still can't skip the cutscenes!!
Let’s Fo, Xpool is back
I've ran out of stuff to comment. He's back. You just made another good video. Awesome.
37:37 Xpool lives with Peter Griffin confirmed
Also SOLID video! I'm shocked you liked Origins Plus better than Mania Plus though, because Origins Plus still has physics issues and so it's not as polished.
I actually agree with you about mania Plus, I would have loved to have seen other levels that didn't make the cut instead of the same levels but with a different coat of paint
Honestly, bit of an overreaction on encore mode. Seeing how you get:
. 2 Great New Playable Characters
. New more challenging Special Stages
. The New Checkpoint Mini-game
. A new colour palette & slightly redesigned levels
For $5 that’s not bad! I’ve seen much worse cost much MUCH more!
Shoulda killed Sonic like Iron Man, what a fumble 😔
Hell nah 💀
No (I'm talking to the original commenter)
I might sound lowkey toxic but I think its funny, if ur complaining about final horizon post patch all I have to say is skill issue. In all seriousness I think Final Horizon was really fun.
I agree and I’ve noticed that more sonic content creators have been getting harsher, and being way too negative on the most random things, for example I saw a video complaining about sonic loopty loops or a video about sonic mentioning things from his past? I understand that people have different opinions but who asked for a video about someone complaining about sonic dlc
Some people need to give sonic a break he’s trying his best.
@@Crash_Bash89did the video about loopty loops so happened to be from a RUclipsr named "Splash Dash"? i didn't find it necessary negative. unless you're talking about a different channel entirely. btw yes, yes i agree, sometimes people need to give Sonic a break
@@Crash_Bash89 Agreed
@@Crash_Bash89How dumb can people be? The references are to show that the world's still connected(that each adventure happened, the only thing that *WASN'T* mentioned was 06)and is most likely a one-off thing
i think playable tails, knuckles and amy were very last minute decisions for the last dlc
No, cuz they were teased as playable characters on the Sonic Frontiers update roadmap, we just didn't know how they would've played(the cyclone is a welcome addition imo)
7:18
I was expecting him to say Sunset Hill Zone from Sonic Advance 3, but this still is funny.
Hey XPool, you wanna try to beat Final Horizon on Extreme? Love to see you beat Master King Trial with the one hit kill system
How a you gonna complain the you got ripped of for FIVE DOLLARS. You got a remixed Mania mode, 2 new characters, new special stages, revamped UI and a 4 (previously 2) player competition mode. All that plus bug fixes for 5 buckaroo and you say "too little" ?
Also, I don't blame you for the Final horizon opinion. I personally loved it, I think the new playable team sonic felt very nice to play, the new music is fire, the platforming challenges and cyberspace stages a red hella fun, and that final boss is pure hype. But I can see where you're coming from. But what I don't understand is the thoughts on the characters. Knuckles? EVERYONE is with you on that, he should've gotten more combat moves than Sonic. But Tails and Amy? Have you ever seen them throw hands? How are they supposed pull off combos like sonic with a hammer, tarot cards, a blaster, a pair of tails and a few wrenches? I don't see you posing any suggestions to back up your claims
(jk, nice video BTW)
scott the woz energy
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
0:53 Funny he used Spidey as an example (think abt it)
We have Scott The Woz humor at home
Dog, update 3 of sonic frontiers was made to challenge you, make you endure all you've learnt
Finally, some who offers ACTUAL criticism for the Final Horizon
0:31 why is the ghost and molly mcgee there 💀
I still don’t know the cutaway gag
XPool kinda feels like another scott the woz clone. A lot of the delivery kinda makes me cringe because I know it sounds so much like scott the woz.
6:20
I personally believe this takes place after Mania mode. A split timeline if you will. And Mania Adventures takes place after Forces which takes place after Mania mode.
Sonic Mania to Sonic Forces to Sonic Mania Adventures was probably for Classic Sonic’s timeline.
While Sonic Mania to Encore Mode was probably for Modern Sonic’s timeline.
23:20 I also don't like Rodger's voice acting Sonic literally sounds like an old man.
I’m still pissed that the sonic origins plus I got for Christmas was used and since segas stupid i didn’t actually get the plus expansion cuz it didn’t have the code thing
5:43
He can also reflect small projectiles.
The Scott The Woz humour is this one
SEGA has the most ultimate update strategy, have a good game? make it ass
The game was bad to begin with
@@vrokortac9457 which one there's fucking 3 in the video
nah the games got better
Not the ghost of molly McGee making a cameo in an xpool video😂
Where can I buy my own sarcasm alarm?
Encore mode is Great for 5$ Like I feel you were tryna make the Overpriced joke but
2 new playable characters Hotfoxes and A remix of the original campaign Spunds great for 5$
I thought Ray was useless until I figured how to control him.
I can only say my opinion for Mania Plus since I’ve played it fully. I like the Encore D.L.C. The addition of Mighty & Ray was the greatest thing the Encore D.L.C had to offer. Though I do think they could’ve added Amy as another additional playable character.
The Encore Mode is mediocre as it doesn’t alter too much. It could’ve done so much more. Angle Island Zone was disappointing, it’s just a much shorter version of Act 1, boring. The new aesthetic for things like Green Hill Zone and Chemical Zone, Hydrocity Zone, Mirage Saloon Zone, Oil Ocean Zone, Act 1 of Lava Reef Zone looks great, every other zone looks bad though, ugly color pallets. I think they should’ve made remixes to fit the new aesthetics. Imagine a more warm sounding Sunset Green Hill Zone and it should’ve been in the game?
I think it would’ve been better if the Mania Plus team changed some act’s aesthetic in Mania Mode: like make the sunset theme for Act 2 of Green Hill Zone, darker blue for Chemical Plant Act 2, gold color of Hydrocity Zone Act 2, night setting for Act 1 of Mirage Saloon Zone, and more lava effects for Act 1 Lava Reef Zone.
There should’ve been a new final boss in the Encore Mode, instead, there’s a little celebration ending after beating Eggman again…that’s it…boring.
I never bought Sonic Origins cause I already have 1,2 and C.D in my phones, and after hearing all the complaints, and the unreasonable price, I decided not to buy it, even with the new updates, there’s still new problems.
I got the Frontiers D.L.C and was forced with the updates installed. The game itself is kind of boring and at worst, annoying with the levels, stiff and janky physics. The additions were boring and I haven’t finished the Final Horizon, I don’t find it fun. Also I hate how the player has to complete new challenges that I forgot what they’re called in each island to unlock Spin Dash. Fun to played but not worth it after being frustrated with the jankiness of the controls and level designs.
That’s all i'll have to say.
fire
Scott the Woz and LS Mark energy radiating
28:24 just do the knuckles jump glitch. Oh yeah, I forgot Sega patched that in the fourth update f***
This channel gives off big Scott the Woz vibes. Good stuff.
1:29 why is there ghost of molly mcgee footage
My opinion on Final Horizon is almost the exact opposite of yours, I liked the journey leading up to the final boss (except for the last trial) while the final boss itself was one of the worst experiences I ever had with a Sonic boss fight
The Grey grid is a reference to Sonic's original American boxart. The Japanese cover was white with colourful patterns
XDeadpool finally returned not only with a new video, but also THE MILK
The grid thing on the origins plus thing was actually made to match older box arts like sonic 1 for the genesus
6:55 i think its a timeline split between mania encore and forces
(god i hate timeline splits, like why is the legend of zelda timeline so confusing? its like the developers has watched too much game theory)
I think this channel is gonn be a hit with people who dislike the sonic franchise.
If we were to duel, I would win
Nah I’d win

Sonic Origins Plus is better than Mega Collection. fight me.
Counterpoint: no Ristar
Ristar? It’s alright…
Bait used to be believable
Nah there's no MJ music in Sonic 3 and the new one sucks. Also there are no comic book covers and a readble comic like Mega Collection Plus had either. And no Vectorman either too.
I feel it was dishonest of you to claim people were being unreasonable about the audio and lag problems by only mentioning the very obvious ones or just trying hard to downplay the issue. Like the Sega intro being bitcrushed or game lagging when they were too many sprites on screen. Ignoring the real complaints people had like the mono audio or the audio some times while playing just getting flat out corrupted or just not playing at all. Then the input lag the emulators had and the random lag spikes that would happen that wouldn't happen on the original.
I forgot to mention the audio issues. I mention them in the patch section, but I genuinely did forget to mention the issues at first. However, there were genuinely people complaining about the quality of the emulation outside of the slight latency that were genuinely unreasonable. Unfortunately, the one understandable issue was the one I neglected to mention until later. I am sorry.
Thanks guys, I never tried encore mode, I thought it was orange green hill and stuff
origins actually got museum music? i looked it up and can only find a short video on youtube, with most of its comments saying it’s fake. i also don’t hear it on my version. i really wish i did.
I see you took inspiration from Scoot The Woz. Many scenes and talks gives me that vibes.
bro, you have to play the update again with the new patch
and if you think it was just a little bit... NO!
they fixed knuckles glide, made the combat easier and much more...
so, you know the patch😅
15:36
I’m shocked you didn’t mention the stereo problem with the Game Gear games.
I mentioned that they were patched, but I forgot to mention it beforehand 💀
6:40 Mania Adventure isn't Canon. Only Encore mode is fyi.
MA is better, tho. Encore Mode is just a repeat of the main game with a different ending.
@@ChiefMedicPururu true
Half true, half false, cuz it starts immediately after Classic Sonic returns to his --dimension-- timeline after Forces(hence why he's in the same waving pose he did to Tails before he left)
35:52 Or should I say, "Emeralds in the rough"
For me the worst thing about Sonic origin plus the face we still cant make save files for Sonic 1, 2, and CD EVEN THOUGH WE COULD ON MOBILE THE MOBILE PORT OF THE SAME FUCKING GAME LIKE SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?! Oh yeah and why in the hell did they lock Knuckles being playabe in Sonic CD behind a damn paywall.
27:54 and also one time when I was playing Sonic part of the updates, I could go through all of the knuckle sections by using spin dash
14:08 strange silence
2:38 "These long-forgotten characters." Us Archie fans have always had them.
Not just the Archie fans. Sonic Underground and SATAM fans too.
@@sonicmaiden2871 I mean Mighty and Ray. And also Nack, Bean, and Bark.
@@bowserbreaker2515 also Honey the cat too
@@sonicmaiden2871 Well, she only showed up once.
@@bowserbreaker2515 that's why I'd like to see her in at leasr one more game.
Ray's ability is pretty much just super mario world's cape mario, also not defending encore, it still kinda bucks, but it also has new & harder special stages, the special stage rings are harder to find
Man I wish Sonic Superstars had Mighty and Ray instead of Amy, Amy is such a soulless character.
Mighty and Ray are more souless than Amy because they barely had any screentime unlike Amy who is a staple character for the series. Ideally i would've liked all 3 though. Also isn't the point of Amy that she's the carrying one? How is that soulless?
3D Blast and Spinball didn't need to be in Origins Plus since they're already on Steam and Xbox. But Knuckles' Chaotix has never been ported.
And why is this diffrent than his sonic dlcs video
The best part of Encore Mode is that it retcons Forces
How so?
How?
@@CesarTorres61296 He literally shows it in the video
I don’t believe Encore mode is canon in the first place.
And yet Encore mode is still better than Forces
So I played Sonic Mania (Plus,) and I love it. Encore mode wasn’t terrible, since the level design in the base game was so good, but the lives system really detracted from the experience for me. I think for 5 dollars, the DLC is worth it. You get Mighty and Ray as playable characters, new special stages in Encore mode, and Mirage Saloon Act 1 (Encore Edition.) So if your planning to get Sonic Mania on PC, sacrifice the 5 extra dollars
The DLC is great, but Encore Mode was just bah. Mighty and Ray were the real stars of the DLC.
@@ChiefMedicPururu Fax
I definitely think Mania Plus is better than Origins Plus, especially given the price.
Mania Plus gives you two fun new characters and a decent extra mode, just for $5. You might not play or even like Encore mode much, but Mighty and Ray alone make paying $5 worth it IMO.
Origins Plus gives you only one new character, the ability to play as one of the base characters in one specific game when he was already playable in all the other games, and a bunch of Game Gear games, all for double the price of Mania's DLC. I view the Game Gear games in the same way as Encore mode; they're neat but not something you're gonna play too much, only they have less value than Encore mode since you can easily find alternative ways of playing these games. You're mainly buying Origins Plus for the new character, but you're only getting one as opposed Mania Plus's two, and Amy just isn't very unique compared to Mighty and Ray. Honestly, they should've included Mighty and Ray with Amy, that would've made the price more worth it. Oh yeah, and as for Knuckles in Sonic CD, I can accept that not being there at launch. It *should've* been there at launch, but I can accept it not being there at launch. It should've just been a free update, but the fact you *have to have the paid DLC* to play as Knuckles in Sonic CD is just so shitty. Knuckles is playable in ¾ of the games in the base collection, but you just have to pay a fee to play as him in one specific game for no good reason. It pisses me off. And again, this DLC is TEN DOLLARS! This would've been a downgrade from Mania's DLC even if it was the same price, but with it being double the price? I honestly can't understand how you could say this is a better deal.
Sonic has rough transitions into DLC. Never good.
14:30 Actually, there are 4 Sonic game gear games with a Master System Version. Sonic 1, 2, Chaos AND BLAST! Sonic Blast on the Master System came only in Brazil and maybe thats the reason why so many people dont know about that. (and yeah, I know I sound like a nerd but just wanna mention it. Sorry XD)
Was waiting for someone to point this out, actually.
The Sonic Blast Master System port was not published or developed by SEGA from my understanding. It was done by TecToy. The port is very half baked and I’m not even sure if they’re allowed to use it. That’s why I neglected to mention this.
@@XPool Oh, well... that´s a good explanation/reason. thanks btw
I really wish super sonic 2 had more differences. maybe a more orangeish yellow fur or the hairstyle from adventure super sonic
Aside from you sounding like modern Scott The Woz with transitions of yelling or being sarcastic every 5 minutes, the video was interesting to watch!... Except for you bitching about Update 3. Like yes, I agree it's hit and miss (and I also had mental breakdown in Master King Trial), but I feel like you were overreacting most of the time. Hopefully if I meet your video in my algorithm next time, you'll have less of yelling. Best of luck!
Edit: Forgot to mention some or more references were too obscure.
