      14:08: Though, in all fairness, if you found out that these Battle Mech robot skins can also be used within Story Mode, then that's a cool thing to have. Totally worth the money if the Battle Mechs have two purposes: Serving as your Battle Avatar for Multiplayer and your Boss Avatar for Story Mode's Cyber Station.

    Favorite Sonic tweet ever was the Sonic Official Twitter bragging about free DLC and someone was like "didn't you charge for Super Sonic"? And they were like "He's free now!". And then the person was like "Don't do it again".

    The character voices for the menus in SA2B were originally DLC for the Dreamcast version. And with the mixture of the limited space on a Dreamcast VMU and the files being pretty sizeable, you could actually find yourself not having enough room on your VMU for all of them. And I'm pretty sure Rouge had a Witch costume where her fur was black as well.

    Weird things about the Sonic 06 DLC:
    1. The Very Hard levels were made once they understood the game they made better and were just better versions of the Hard Levels in many cases without being actually harder.
    2. Team Attack Amigo drastically speeds up Tails, making him feel less like puttering through molasses, but only in the TAA levels.
    3. The PS3 in the US only got the Very Hard DLC, no Boss Attack or Team Attack Amigo, despite it releasing in other regions. (Even regions the Xbox 360 version didn't receive.)

    Assuming the older games ever eventually get ports/remakes, I hope these DLC's are brought back. I really enjoyed the Sonic Unleashed DLC levels, Day and Night, and would be disappointed if the game got ported without them. And it's sad knowing I'll probably never get to try some DLC's like the Lost World ones since the eShop closed down.

    8:19 I think you unfairly skipped All-Stars Racing Transformed:
    - Metal Sonic (again) and a OutRun themed track, which were part of a Bonus Edition.
    - Alex Kidd was added on 12/25 for free.
    - The PC version contained racers from Total War, Football Manager and oddly; Team Fortress 2.
    - Yogscast as part of a charity event
    After a fan-submitted poll:
    - Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue (who was also chosen because it was a quick reuse of assets from the first game)
    As for the frontrunners in said DLC Character Poll:
    3rd: Segata Sanshiro (who already appears in the Race of AGES track)
    4th: Vectorman
    5th: Bayonetta
    6th: Ristar (who was already the game’s flagbearer)

    I remember when superstars DLC was all free for download for 5 minutes on launch night. Gotta say I nabbed the comic book skins before they became unavailable and I am glad I managed to get them since they look good.
    But for real we need better DLC for sonic games. like new zones or storys like that, instead of all this cosmetic stuff that makes sonics shoes a different color. thankfully frontiers and superstars have been steps in the right direction. The rabbit skin for sonic is so much better customization than what we had in colors ultimate (remember when we thought we would get movie sonic skins?)

On top of that, in just TWO MONTHS the 8th entry is coming out which seems to be absurdly good (and huge!) from the demo I've played.

    The Superstars DLC was such a shitshow on the Steam version. For the ones who missed it:
    - When the game released, almost all the DLC from the deluxe edition was available for FREE by accident.
    - The "Comic book" skins were available (also free) due to the error. When they fixed it, they locked it completely claiming that you can only get it through some goofy promotion from idk which store.
    - So deluxe people *kinda* got scammed on game release, and the comic book skins are locked away for no real reason.
    Mania Plus only DLC worthwhile tbh, fairly priced with pretty much an entire game's worth of replayability due to encore + might & ray.

    The thing about the 25 extra lives that a lot of people don't remember is that before it was VERY hard to get extra lives in Lost World.
    At the game's launch and not until a few months in. You couldn't get lives by collecting rings. The levels would give you hundreds of rings and yet you never got an extra life, which is why you had to look around the levels for the countdown rings and any loose lives all over the place. So the 25 lives from Amazon gave you something to keep you safe for a bit to avoid early game overs.
    But then a LOT of people complained about it and Sega eventually added in a patch for you to get lives when you collected rings.
    The weird part is the 3DS version always had that, Sega removed it in the Wii U version for some reason.

    Technically speaking, the earliest bit of DLC for a Sonic game isn't Sonic 3 with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, since that was more so a means to complete the full experience without making a more expensive cartridge.
    The first is actually for Sonic 2, since with the use of the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, you can play an updated version of the game as Knuckles called "Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2" which actually had a bit more than just "Play as Knuckles" This included
    *Keeping your rings from before a special stages upon exiting said special stage
    *Shields are now grey instead of blue
    *Slight level layout changes with new paths
    Very recently at this years SHC, someone actually made a hack of this called "Sonic the Hedgehog, and Miles "Tails" Prower in Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2" (That's the actual title btw) That adds back Sonic & Tails with the new additions present in the Knuckles version.

      Valkyria Chronicles also had this issue, with DLC that rewards players overpowered equipment, or units in the 4th game, upon completion.
      And since Valkyria Chronicles 2 had PvP, the meta is unfortunately ineffective against DLC owners.

    For PC players, at the very least, the PC versions tend to get modded to add back all the content EXCEPT THE RACING GAMES (still no Banjo, Metal Sonic and Egg Hangar for the first Sonic and Sega racing game)
    -SADX has all the SA1 DLCs
    -SA2 kinda has almost all of the DLCs
    -Lost World had the Nintendo DLCs ported
    -You can pirate Forces since the Joker and Shadow costumes (not the Episode Shadow DLC, thankfully) are not available in some regions.
    -Frontiers had the Korone DLCs, free JP emote, and the now-JP-exclusive Soap shoes modded back, and are even recognized as DLC by the game

    • @thenightwriter619
      @thenightwriter619 11 месяцев назад

      technically it wasn't really. on a technical level, there was nothing preventing it since the dreamcast had internet capabilities and could download to the vmu- that's how the dlc works at a glance. but due to the low storage capacity of the vmu and the fact download speeds were generally pretty pitiable back then, almost all the dlc for dreamcast games was already on the disc, and the downloaded part was simply a key to access that content, which is why almost all dreamcast dlc was free and was typically just special events and small cosmetics, things you wouldn't miss if it wasn't there or things that are neat but don't make much sense to throw in without an event or holiday justifying it.

    Sonic and DLC are definately a mixed bag to say the least. One one hand you got stuff like Mania Plus or the Unleashed DLCs where it genuinely felt like a true expansion of the game, on the other you got stuff like Origins plus where it feels like Sega has fallen victim to the same "We need to weaponize FOMO to maximise profits with premiumn deluxe editons" mantra that most major game studios have gotten into.

      Also, it didn't matter what difficulty I chose, the flaws didn't went away. I still thought that most of it was unfair. My thoughts weren't gonna change if I played on easy, normal, or hard. I would had still thought that the update has a ton of problems. I did make a comment discussing my thoughts on it, pre-patch, but here is some of them:
      It's unclear how to beat the final boss, at a certain point. Also, its bad that you have to 100% the island to get told what to do, when that should had been in the tutorial.
      The new version of parry kinda sucks. I eventually had to spam it to reliably dodge attacks.
      The pop-in is still a massive issue.
      The final trial is just bad. You have to play almost perfectly, and if you fail, you have to do the long 2nd section(Wyvern) idk why they included the climbing parts, since the 2nd one kinda drags on.
      Ofc, I didnt hate it, mind you. I just thought that it was bad. However, after the patch, most of the unfairness was made fair, I believe.
      Also, I loved the cyberspace levels, and also found those to be the best part of both versions(base and Update 3), and I only go back to play those. Oh, and speedrun the titans, ig.
      Pre-patch, I thought it was bad. Post-patch, it was decent, imo.
      Ofc, you can think differently, but you are wrong that you thought that everyone wanted it to be hard. I was one of the few people who didn't want that. Also, no, I wont change my mind. However, im interested to hear your thoughts about it. I hope that made sense, and that I wasn't being rude.
      I always thought this when I beaten the update. Now, the base game and update 3 are both decent, but very flawed, imo. It's about on the same level of quality of Forces, except Forces is slightly bette, I think. No, I also won't change my mind on that, for now
