"You can find people genuinely into just about anything on the internet." - Jeff Truer words have never been spoken. Also he will always be Dr Robotnic in my heart.
23:59 is my favourite line in this whole thing because it sounds like Jeff is going insane and the sheer hope of going fast is all that's keeping him going.
Maybe I'm over-simplifying here, but maybe Sega should make a game where Sonic runs super fast in profile and rolls into a ball and wrecks stuff. It could have exciting music and visuals and no talking.
That's pretty much all I want (it would be a perfect downloadable title imo). But only if it has good music... and we can go back to calling him Doctor Robotnik... Also, everybody except Sonic and Tails has to fuck off... Ok, ok... I'll compromise and let Knuckles stay. Just to be a nice girl.
Sonic Generations was such a near perfect modern Sonic game. Ever since SEGA made that exclusive deal the quality has fallen back to Sonic '06 levels. Why can't they just stick with a successful formula?
I'm not saying its directly Nintendo's fault just that their exclusive deal seemed to conk SEGA on the head after they finally perfected formula with Generations back to making mediocre titles
Amy's mouth is fucking terrifying to watch. She looks like she's been ripped from Five Nights at Freddy's, for god's sake. This is Snoic Buum: Rise of Armsnake. As you truly imagined it.
Humpty Dumpty is a riddle, the original point of the rhyme is that the listener had to guess what he is. Now everyone knows he's an egg so it's just a weird rhyme.
Fuck Sega. Phantasy Star Online 2. Been waiting literally 3 years for that. "No new news to announce." Nine million sonic games later, here we are. Do something new.
Not to mention the one game I've wanted from them for the last 12 years (Shenmue 3) they refuse to make, and are wasting away poor Yu Suzuki-san's talents. I mean, even when they had a hit on their hands like with Bayonetta they refused to fund a sequel, Nintendo had to step in to get a sequel made, like what the fuck is going on at that company? No wonder so many of their most respected game developers (like Sonic designer Yuji Naka) have left the company, bunch of poorly managed assholes.
F* Phantasy Star Online- I've been waiting since The End of a millennium for a proper Phantasy Star game. As far as I'm concerned PSO and Sonic are equally shyte. I'm sorry but it had to be said.
I actually always played as Toad, because in addition to lifting things fast, he also dug faster than any other character. It cuts the time you spend digging through those seemingly endless vertical sand pits to almost half when compared to the princess.
At 14:13, Amy drops her Piko-Piko hammer when Metal Sonic hits the ground - just like how Sonic Team dropped the ball on this game - and somehow has it back by the time she falls down, just like how Sonic Team thinks it's somehow good to keep releasing games early. This is the perfect analogy.
At 40:17 Tails says Lyric's name, even though they didn't even met Cliff who tells them all about Lyric This game may be as bad as the infamous Sonic 2006.
I wonder if Jeff knows you can fly with a Knuckles glitch and skip just about any section of the game. Simply pause the game mid jump and you can jump again and go wherever
Actually, I was reading that the guy who voices Sonic is Roger Craig Smith, the same guy who voiced Ezio in the Assassin's Creed series, Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5 onwards, and Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins, as well as several anime roles, he's a prety good voice actor, and if I have ONE nice thing to say about this game, it's that despite the annoyance of having the characters comment on EVERYTHING during gameplay, the voice acting isn't bad, I actually like the voice actor for Knuckle's unlike Jeff, but that's about the only positive thing to be said about this game.
I never thought I'd see the day when Amy "Rosey the Rascal" Rose was my favorite character in a Sonic game, but here it is. This looks like garbage. Also, I really would love a Robotnik game that was basically just the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Or Mean Bean Machine 2.
Despite the rushed feel, despite the massive framerate drop, despite the crappy dialog, this is the worst part about the game. It's just boring. It's slow, it's not creative, it doesn't let you feel rewarded for doing anything. Nothing about the game is fun. It's amazing that they were able to make a game this bad in every way.
I really love the Game Informer staff, they're way more open minded and their tastes are a little more diverse than the Giant Bomb staff, though I do think the Giant Bomb staff are more entertaining in their commentary and are better at critiquing things overall.
Jeff & Dan are coming at this from the wrong angle. This game is obviously for a much younger audience that has seen the new TV show that just started airing.
Kids. Deserve. Better. Like Sonic Generations, or Sonic Colors, or hell, any of the classic games. Lost World is more deserving of that demographic than this. In fact, I feel sorry for kids you are suggesting are younger than any other sonic demographic because they would never be able to figure out the poor level design of this game. I doubt any of them would get past the second hub world let alone the first.
Looks like this game was rushed with zero polish to match the release of the tv show. But that's exactly what you deserve when you PLAY GAMES FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS.
"What is going on with the framerate in this mother fucking video game!?" is my new favourite Jeff quote.
I came back to this video in 2022 just to hear that line again
"You can find people genuinely into just about anything on the internet." - Jeff
Truer words have never been spoken. Also he will always be Dr Robotnic in my heart.
WHAAAAAAT IS GOING ON WITH THE FRAMERATE IN THIS MOTHERFUCKIN VIDEO GAME- a gerstmann classic
FUCK, MAN, THIS IS ON CRY ENGINE!
I live for Jeff's natural segue from conversation to reaction at 5:03
23:59 is my favourite line in this whole thing because it sounds like Jeff is going insane and the sheer hope of going fast is all that's keeping him going.
I honestly wish I could have seen Jeff's face when Knuckles limply proclaimed rings to be cool.
29:38 - "Ring Are Cool." - Knuckles The Echidna's Gravestone.
Maybe I'm over-simplifying here, but maybe Sega should make a game where Sonic runs super fast in profile and rolls into a ball and wrecks stuff. It could have exciting music and visuals and no talking.
Nah, no one would buy that.
We need more new friends for Sonic. That'll fix the problem.
That's pretty much all I want (it would be a perfect downloadable title imo). But only if it has good music... and we can go back to calling him Doctor Robotnik...
Also, everybody except Sonic and Tails has to fuck off... Ok, ok... I'll compromise and let Knuckles stay. Just to be a nice girl.
Easy there, George. The Sonic franchise is doing really well, and we don't need to go shaking things up with anything NEW and RADICAL right now.
***** You should play Sonic Generations, that games actually pretty awesome!
And no singing.
It's real nice that once they reach a cliff type area, they name the character you need to find "Cliff" just to confuse you even more.
I wonder how many unique recordings of "BOUNCE PAD" they did for this game.
This is the first piece of Giant Bomb content I ever saw and now here I am years later to repeat the deed
Sonic Generations was such a near perfect modern Sonic game. Ever since SEGA made that exclusive deal the quality has fallen back to Sonic '06 levels. Why can't they just stick with a successful formula?
Yeah, because it's totally Nintendo's fault that Sega is churning out this shitty games, it's not like Sonic ever had bad games before the Wii U!
I'm not saying its directly Nintendo's fault just that their exclusive deal seemed to conk SEGA on the head after they finally perfected formula with Generations back to making mediocre titles
Sonic Team and Dimps can make some awesome Sonic games
Sjono
Dimps made two good Sonic games: Advance 1 and Pocket Adventure. Everything else was trash.
Chuck Donovan
Sonic Team had fuckall to do with this game. It was made by a western studio, Big Red Button, made up mostly of Insomniac cast-offs.
...Miles Prower. Oh god. I had to have DAN RYCKERT POINT THAT OUT.
MyRochambeau articUNO zapDOS molTRES
“What is going on with the framerate in this MOTHERFUCKING VIDEO GAME?!” right on Jeff.
I miss the Jeff and Dan quick looks.
Amy's mouth is fucking terrifying to watch. She looks like she's been ripped from Five Nights at Freddy's, for god's sake.
This is Snoic Buum: Rise of Armsnake.
As you truly imagined it.
FUCK, MAN, THIS IS ON THE CRY ENGINE!
Blue arms. Shit framerate. Sonic's BACK!
The level of gentle snarkyness in this QL was just perfect. :)
BOUNCE PAD
33:09
RINGS ARE KEWL
this might as well be a retsuprae
I'd say this was on par with beef and betus' finest work.
Chris Weed Did The Ancients kill Rita?
Humpty Dumpty is a riddle, the original point of the rhyme is that the listener had to guess what he is. Now everyone knows he's an egg so it's just a weird rhyme.
I'm pretty sure Humpty Dumpty referred to some kind of (medieval?) war machine.
Humpty Dumpty was a cannon. It fell off the castle wall and broke, which is why the King's men wanted to put him back together again.
***** The cannon thing is a myth. The rhyme is centuries old but there's no references to it being about a cannon before the 1950s.
that choice of font for the "Yesterday" text...
Fuck Sega. Phantasy Star Online 2. Been waiting literally 3 years for that. "No new news to announce." Nine million sonic games later, here we are.
Do something new.
Not to mention the one game I've wanted from them for the last 12 years (Shenmue 3) they refuse to make, and are wasting away poor Yu Suzuki-san's talents.

F* Phantasy Star Online- I've been waiting since The End of a millennium for a proper Phantasy Star game. As far as I'm concerned PSO and Sonic are equally shyte. I'm sorry but it had to be said.
This has to be the funniest Quick look this year
"Tee-ball stand for furry fanfiction."
Annnd I died. HAhahaaha!
14:14 when Amy gets pushed back her hammer flies away in midair but then in the next shot its in her hand. DING
No, Dan, Jeff. We say "Lass- OH" in Texas as well. I think you're thinking of Australians.
Admittedly, we are only slightly different.
Honestly, before this QL, I never heard it pronounced "Lassoo."
Oh WOW! the same glitch happens to Knuckles (@19:47), in the Game grumps video too. this game...
that "yesterday" screen in the first cutscene looks REALLY bad and unfitting
Also, this quick look is amazing. I laughed out loud a whole bunch.
Really SEGA, this is how you want to revitalize a franchise? Oh well then.
This feels strangely like what a PS3 Jak & Daxter game would be.
With a name like Sonic Boom, you'd think Sonic would be fast.
This is like phone game quality.
"Not Cool Sonic" WOW! He actually knew this Sonic's full name!
I always have a hollow feeling when a QL of a garbage game ends. I never want it to stop.
I actually always played as Toad, because in addition to lifting things fast, he also dug faster than any other character. It cuts the time you spend digging through those seemingly endless vertical sand pits to almost half when compared to the princess.
Nothing will ever make me not appreciate Dan's pronunciation of Akira. "Acura." Never change, Dan.
rings are cool
"A teeball stand for furry fanfiction" might be the greatest description of Sonic the franchise.
At 14:13, Amy drops her Piko-Piko hammer when Metal Sonic hits the ground - just like how Sonic Team dropped the ball on this game - and somehow has it back by the time she falls down, just like how Sonic Team thinks it's somehow good to keep releasing games early. This is the perfect analogy.
Is Sonic voiced by the guy who did the voice for Chris Redifield??
One of the most hilarious Quick Looks I've ever watched! RINGS ARE COOL!
At 40:17 Tails says Lyric's name, even though they didn't even met Cliff who tells them all about Lyric
This game may be as bad as the infamous Sonic 2006.
RINGS ARE COOL
I loved Sonic Adventure 2. I hear alot of people who played Sonic before 3D say they hate the 3D controls, but I never had a problem.
the chili dog thing was lampshaded in the intro to sonic gen
If there's one thing I learned from this video, it's that Dan doesn't know the meaning of ironic.
I wonder if Jeff knows you can fly with a Knuckles glitch and skip just about any section of the game. Simply pause the game mid jump and you can jump again and go wherever
Sonic x Kirk x Spock?
Sonikock OTP
good lord I didn't get the Miles Prower thing until just now. son of a bitch.
Blunder of the Year or Century?
Amy's face is a thing of true horror.
Oh my god I can't believe I'm just now getting tails' name. Mind. Blown. I'm a fuckin idiot
BOUNCE PAD!!!
This video is amazing
YES! RINGS!
So many DBZ dub voice actors...Knuckles=Yamcha, and I can never unhear it.
I just realized why Amy sounds so familiar, She is Labrys from Persona 4 Arena
How did I never notice the joke in Tails' name until now?
The voice of Sonic is the guy from the Sunset Overdrive commercials. Work is work, I guess?
Actually, I was reading that the guy who voices Sonic is Roger Craig Smith, the same guy who voiced Ezio in the Assassin's Creed series, Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5 onwards, and Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins, as well as several anime roles, he's a prety good voice actor, and if I have ONE nice thing to say about this game, it's that despite the annoyance of having the characters comment on EVERYTHING during gameplay, the voice acting isn't bad, I actually like the voice actor for Knuckle's unlike Jeff, but that's about the only positive thing to be said about this game.
Sonic . . . What have they done to you?!
Bouncepad!
But this is such a fun drunk game. I'm telling you a few beers deep and it's hilarious.
Oh God, I didn't think they were actually going to put Shadow into Sonic Boom. Does this mean a new Shadow the Hedgehog?
I never thought I'd see the day when Amy "Rosey the Rascal" Rose was my favorite character in a Sonic game, but here it is. This looks like garbage.
Also, I really would love a Robotnik game that was basically just the Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Or Mean Bean Machine 2.
Rings are KEWL!
You guys should just have a series where Jeff plays bad games lol.
The fps legitimately makes my head hurt
This game doesn't quite look punch-you-in-the-face terrible like Sonic 06, it just looks... boring. Absolutely, soul-crushingly boring.
Despite the rushed feel, despite the massive framerate drop, despite the crappy dialog, this is the worst part about the game. It's just boring. It's slow, it's not creative, it doesn't let you feel rewarded for doing anything. Nothing about the game is fun. It's amazing that they were able to make a game this bad in every way.
Why am I not surprised Dan knows "A Sonic Guy"?
I really love the Game Informer staff, they're way more open minded and their tastes are a little more diverse than the Giant Bomb staff, though I do think the Giant Bomb staff are more entertaining in their commentary and are better at critiquing things overall.
I was watching another playthrough of this and knuckles was stuck jumping in that same spot at 22:30. I think its something that happens everytime.
This looks like a movie tie in game....with a movie.
So Knuckles is a jock now...
Hey, did that guy just say rings are cool?
RUclips posts are cool!
Honestly for as much as they have change Sonic, and Jeff talk crap about the franchise and this game. This game looks enjoyable.
:^)
the latest Sonic masterpiece.
But why would Knuckles have spikes where they wouldn't be in the right place to climb with when he makes a fist
The bad guys voice reminds me of vegeta. O_o
Wow, this game looks worse than I thought, but it did make an entertaining QL.
I think problem is those rings . A single ring looks like it had more polygon count than the rocks you see. All those rings slow the gamedown hard.
Jeff & Dan are coming at this from the wrong angle. This game is obviously for a much younger audience that has seen the new TV show that just started airing.
Kids. Deserve. Better. Like Sonic Generations, or Sonic Colors, or hell, any of the classic games. Lost World is more deserving of that demographic than this. In fact, I feel sorry for kids you are suggesting are younger than any other sonic demographic because they would never be able to figure out the poor level design of this game. I doubt any of them would get past the second hub world let alone the first.
23:25 - More specifically, wasn't Sonic's human girlfriend supposed to be Madonna?
Rings are cool!
holy shit miles prower
what the heck is going on with those txtures/models/graphics ?
Looks like this game was rushed with zero polish to match the release of the tv show. But that's exactly what you deserve when you PLAY GAMES FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS.
Best QL ever! LOL
Rings are cool.
bounce pad.
Hot load software. Is that hot-load software or hot load-software?
BOUNCE PAD!
wasn't humpty dumpty supposed to be a kind of riddle, the answer to which was: 'humpty dumpty was an egg'?
ps rings r cool
Up n Down n All Around
You use Toad on ice levels
BOUNCE PADS
I liked sonic adventure 2. I thought it was pretty good. it was actually one of my favorite GameCube games.
