I like the hunting levels in Sonic Adventure soooo much more then Sonic Adventure 2. Nerfing the emerald radar was an arbitrary way to increase the difficulty in a way nobody wanted it to change.
Mikel Kamara Not to mention a way to artificially lengthen the game. Imagine how much time would be shaved off of the game without the radar functioning in the stupid SA2 style?
It's particularly glaring when they inflated the level size (not expanded, as that would imply levels like Meteor Herd or Mad Space had something of value in that space)
Yeah, making the levels bigger was another unnecessary change, because there's only but so much fun flying around a giant sandbox level can be when it's super easy to get lost. Wild canyon is the only treasure hunting level I can actually defend, because it's compact and easy to navigate. Most of the TH levels suffer from the fact that there's too many places you can actually find the emerald, and while the hints do help, they also lower the amount of points you get when you find the emerald shard you're looking for. I think even with the SA1 radar, those levels still would have been obnoxious because they're just too damn big or play like mazes making it more frustrating then fun.
Sonic talks with the fucking president of San Fransisco. Sonic's theme is named "It Doesn't Matter". Sonic is a fucking liberal hippie propagandist and it's ruining your country! The USA was founded as Blue hedgehogs' land!
I thought something sounded off about that, but I'm so used to this game that I just play it the way I like and haven't really thought about how things like that work in years, haha.
The night's minigames with the shiny marbles gives you 500 rings when you get them all......but by that time you have 999 rings from getting shit tons of cards
the thing with Casinopolis is in the sewer if you go backward on the giant fans they die down in power and you can actually get up to 370 rings which if you got something like 10-20 rings in the pinball machines you can easily do it with 1 sewer trip and a few casino machine hits
Remind me to try and record the Nights Ideya Orbs section. I've done it before and it gives you 200 rings, but it took me 2 hours of playing Casinopolis and a break due to sensory overload. Fortunately after that I decided to run around as Super Sonic because by that point I had broken the HUD ring counter. I had like 4000 rings when I finally went to the Animal Capsule.
...was that 50 rings comment at the beginning of the sewers a joke or a reference or something? I'm pretty sure the number is 100 for the pinball tables.
EDIT: You know, I heard somewhere John St John Intentionally forgot how to do the Big voice, but he might have relearned it. Maybe he mellowed out. Or maybe that clip was from before he forgot. You know what? I used to defend this game's animations. But it came out a year after MGS1. So. I'm less lenient now.
King Harkinian Had they kept the Dreamcast Era voice cast after Deem Bristow pasted away, I think Jim Cummings would have been the tight guy to pick up the mantle. He could match Bristow's sinister tone.
These Knuckles levels are like a 4/10. The SA2 ones are a 3/10. SA2 is better in every other way. And no, a slightly less shitty Knuckles level won't change that. I dislike the hub world in SA1 as well. Oh, sure, it's fine for you guys who played this game a decade ago and know where to go, but I first played this game, like, 3 years ago. "Head to the casino!" ...Where the fuck is that casino?! How am I supposed to find it- what, you have to go through the hotel- what!? Not to mention the camera actually made me nauseous in the hub worlds. The levels were fine, camera wise. I constantly got lost with these hub worlds and their secrets and their vague hints. I've seen worse, but that doesn't make it good. Give me SA2's stage progression any day.
PolarPhantom same here I felt SA2 was an overall better game and I had similar troubles that you mentioned especially figuring out where exactly to go next. But everyone has their own opinions.
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy everyone has their own opinions. For instance, I personally don't like One Piece but I don't knock other people for liking it or pester people for the same reason. I understand you may like SA1 and a lot of their people do as well. Anyway I'll probably get multiple comments back saying I'm "wrong" but whatever. Have a good day sir.
WARNING: Political jokes and-- even worse --sonic opinions incoming. Don't click "Read More"! I warned you. Sonic Adventure is Barack Obama. Everybody's favorite by virtue of literally everyone else being shit. Sonic Adventure 2 is Abraham Lincoln. Did a lot of good for the series/country, but was very flawed and ultimately got shot in the back by later sonic games/a dirty confederate. Sonic Heroes is Andrew Jackson. He was a mistake; anyone who says otherwise has been blinded by nostalgia. Shadow the Hedgehog is Bill Clinton. Edgelords love him. Unironically great soundtrack. Sonic 06 is the George Bushes. People only remember him for being stupid, but upon closer inspection you realize that he was just as bad as you remembered him, if not worse. Sonic & The Secret Rings is Ronald Reagan. A horrible piece of shit who the LGBTQ+ is glad to be rid of. Sonic Unleashed is Jimmy Carter. He wasn't the absolute worst thing ever, but he was kinda in that awkward post-watergate era that was weird and uncomfortable for literally everyone involved. Sonic Colors is JFK. Is that awkward kid who isn't quite retro and isn't quite modern. Good game/president though. Sonic Generations has no presidential equivalent, because no president promised big and delivered. Sonic Lost World is Donald Trump. It's just an Andrew Jackson knock-off without the bad controls/genocide of the native americans. Rise of Lyric is Hillary Clinton. You don't particularly care for her, but after seeing what Donald Trump has to offer, you'll take literally anything at that point. Sonic Forces is Bernie Sanders. He's alright, but kinda boring and kinda just stopped being a thing _really_ quickly. Is the result of The Fanbase/America not knowing what it fucking wants anymore and never knew what it wanted to begin with. Sonic Extreme was Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater. Promised to be shit and delivered, had his plug pulled when people realized he was a fucking nazi.
To update this, Sonic Frontiers is Joe Biden: I don't know if either are actually any good or not, but it can't possibly be as bad as Secret Rings was, so...
"To dehumanise white people"
Holy shit, I lost it.
I like how knuckles and big don't actually die, they just get disappointed and lose a life for some reason.
Heart attack.
When Mario fails in Galxay I like to think he kills himself in shame.
"To dehumanize white people..."
I'm fuckin' dead 😂😂😂
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy I was dead when she said that 😂😂😂😂
i'm just realising over the course of the game most of the characters don't sleep for like 3 days straight
Just like me
"Right off the heels of our Sonic Adventure 3 Let's Play"
Nobody knows how to push this fanbase's buttons better than you lads.
Aye.
MykonosFan Reviews hey
They made Clement shake a fist at them.
*_OH HO..._*
Personally, I think 06 was a perfect sequel to Adventure 2 because it continues the trend of being inferior to the last game.
Ba-ba-ba-bwuuuuhh
Is there a way to sub or follow to Miwa?
I really like her commentary and input.
She adds a good dimension to the crew.
That moment in The Rugrats Movie, I'm not joking when I say I cry everytime.
EVERYBODY GETS WHAT THEY WANT
Between that and the "I want a mom" section of Rugrats in Paris, why does that series make me cry so often?
It's actually 100 rings you need to get when you're on the pinball table to not go to the sewer, dummies.

I totally agree. It's one of the reason I prefer this game over SA2.
Please get John St. John in here for an episode.
Also, Miwa is fucking hilarious!
Ever since I was a kid, I've always been curious about what exactly being used as a pinball is like from Sonic's point of view.
John Saint John should be an FTCR member
Shadow Stephen
I imagine he'd end off at least one part of a playthrough saying *_I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND SHIT DOWN YOUR NEEEECK..._*
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy He says that when he sees Big
That Jon Saint John clip was amazing lol
The Dreamcast Era is far too political.
Sonic talks with the fucking president of San Fransisco.
Sonic's theme is named "It Doesn't Matter".
Sonic is a fucking liberal hippie propagandist and it's ruining your country! The USA was founded as Blue hedgehogs' land!
No Gareth, the cut off for the sewer is 100 rings not 50. You guys are entertaining as always
I thought something sounded off about that, but I'm so used to this game that I just play it the way I like and haven't really thought about how things like that work in years, haha.
MykonosFan Reviews Speaking of which, why wasn't Tails the playable character in the sewer? You put in his level section in Windy Valley?
He's had it too good for too long.
Tails' Abuse begs to differ.
See, the Better SADX mod would be better if you always went to the Sewer since that's where the actual level design is.
The night's minigames with the shiny marbles gives you 500 rings when you get them all......but by that time you have 999 rings from getting shit tons of cards
Casino levels are always some of my favorites, even Casino Park from Heroes, that level is amazing.
I'm making Gareth's face when being grabbed by the shirt into a Discord emote and posting it to the FTCR server, and nobody can stop me.
Sonic being in the human world never really bothered me. Although, it made more sense in Sonic X.
18:36 there’s Tikal doing a T-pose
"To dehumanize white people" OH MY GOD
Because I feel the need to clarify, the woman is actually referring to the burger shop employee, not the statue.
"please don't invade other countries trump" Yeah the guy whose entire platform is building a border wall actually wants to invade lmao
18:13 Matt from SGB called him Nicnacpattiwac.
Give Tikal a bone.
YES! MORE PARTS!
0:56 Fantastic, well done boys 😆😆😆

Nice title change!
Holy hell guys, careful with sudden heart-piercing emotions right at the end.
I'm so glad someone made it to the very end for our emotional tour de force
While I do prefer SA2 overall but I do think the emerald hunting is better in SA1
I came to kick ass and remember the 90's
but I'm all out of clever references kill me please

Eggman with that long tongue.
The new Yoshi. Or, Yoshiman.
whoever got the 2500 rings for 21 minutes to build that sonic statue. let me know if you did
There's another echidna standing on some stairs someplace that gives a little backstory about Tikal's family
This LP is a crime against humanity
How do you find HFC?
...was that 50 rings comment at the beginning of the sewers a joke or a reference or something? I'm pretty sure the number is 100 for the pinball tables.
In the E3 demo, a kid would comment in Knuckles’ story: Sonic and Tails are sleeping together,
It's hilarious how awful SA1's animation is, especially when it was supposed to flaunt the power of the "next-gen" Dreamcast.
Riley Long
True. Lol.
But to be fair, the actual in game animation when you're playing the game is really slick.
@@Kuzamer And to be fair, it's one of the first 3D video games to attempt a story this ambitious and cinematic.
@@calistusjay60
Yep.
I guess I'm the only person that can do the "secrets" in the pinball boards? I didn't know that was so rare
EDIT: You know, I heard somewhere John St John Intentionally forgot how to do the Big voice, but he might have relearned it. Maybe he mellowed out. Or maybe that clip was from before he forgot.

I used to defend this game's animations.

So.
I'm less lenient now.
PolarPhantom
His Big voice here sounded more like Barney from the Simpsons. Lol.
Hey TJ. Hank Hill found water in the exhaust.
And BlazeHedgehog just recently made a guide how to mod the game to look like the original SA1..
WesleyB Crowen
I was playing that mod all day yesterday. Sooooo good.
And soon I shall read that guide. Thank goodness for mods.
MykonosFan Reviews
Actually, it's a video on his channel.
I found a text guide on his tumblr with links, check and mate (I'll probably watch the video too though)
Cool video! I like it
For some reason(and this is off top of my head) but that part where Knuckles walks in place is not in the Dreamcast version. I... I DON'T UNDERSTAND
Huh. I didn't even know that Chaos had half of those attacks...
One of the mods had the option to enable the cowgirl.
I got all "idiot orbs" the result? If I remember correctly you get 500 rings.
Sewers happen under 100 rings.
Cool Thumbnail
Eggman pretty much always has a good voice. Except in the English dub of the OVA where everyone sounds bad
King Harkinian
Had they kept the Dreamcast Era voice cast after Deem Bristow pasted away, I think Jim Cummings would have been the tight guy to pick up the mantle. He could match Bristow's sinister tone.
SONIC WILL NEVER BE A PAIN IN MY EGG!
Anybody else find it weird how Tikal has fingers but none of the other echidnas do
they have fingers, theyre just wearing mittens
Sexy Cowgirl mod is in 4.1.1 ;P
I only respect robot police.
How come we never get to fight Chaos 1? Or 3 or 5?
PlasmaPower
Sonic Team thought that'd be a little odd so you only fight 2, 4 and 6 in the main stories.
Literally and metaphorically?
Hypothetically... And metaphorically.
I have no fucking clue why they did that. Lol.
can someone please tell me if @realdonaldtrump is actually trump on Twitter or is it just a joke account?
What is Mia?
Miwa is a Japan.
Was that trump tweet real? o-o
