Sam's Procrastination Station react to spnic forces story english THEY MADE THE ENGLISH VERSION
On the official sonic the hedgehog youtube channel
Sam's Procrastination Station the bubble shield lets you walk across the bubbly blue stuff chemical plant.
Sam's Procrastination Station It was *well* worth it!
Sam's Procrastination Station Can you do a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review please
This game is so good....How could they fuck up Forces that bad? its a straight up meme
Only 2 inexperience guys worked on level design. 2 guys which never worked on Sonic games before, nor played them. And the lead designer and supervisor only worked on Sonic Lost World. Now, you know why Sonic's levels are so laughable, short, very bad enemy design, almost no gameplay variety, and auto tuned controls.
Look on his Sonic Forces review. It is just laughable.
Yeah but if you hate sonic forces blame it on sega,bc even if the new development team screw up it was sega that hire them in the first place.
Pretty much poor decisions in the company and have 1 year to make the whole package.
The years spent on making the engine doesn't count.
This game is pure joy! I almost cried in tears when Hydrocity and yes Metallic Madness was shown especially Stardust Speedway and Mirage Saloon! This game is pure tickle nostalgia.
18:45 That's a not a bug, that's a callback to Sonic 2!
It's a joke, people.
Ey. I just commented that. Lmao
I gotta say it was worth the wait. You've earned yourself a like.
11:35 RIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUS YEAH!!!
Finally, a review of Sonic Mania without the "Sonic had a rocky history" bullcrap, it's refreshing
I agree 😊
Sonic Mania feels like liquified joy, the music, the images, the gameplay, the concept, ...EVERYTHING...
I respect you for not giving a backstory of past years
5:38 rko outta nowhere!
Best. Review. Ever.
I love your jab at other reviewers whining about Modern Sonic at the start :P
6:10 okay im surprised so far no one pointed out one key aspect in the start of angel island..
*theres sand just by the coast !! its a beach of angel island*
couldn't have said it better myself, great review with no bias towards other sonic games and consideration of other people besides sonic fans, you have my like good sir!
Thanks :)
6:11 It's because the power of the phantom ruby caused a disturbance and canceled the Master Emerald Effect of keeping it afloat.
This was a good review! I can’t wait to play Sonic Mania for the first time tonight!!
I like that I'm on the boat part
20:26 Oh Man, I Can Wait!!! By the way, Great Review 👍
Sir,you just gained another subscriber for the reviews of Sonic Mania and Forces and for other videos that I have enjoyed
Sam your one of my favorite youtubers, I love your videos, you might have seen me before in your comments i dunno
2:32 MANS HOLDING A PS5 CONTROLLER
The whole DAMN series
Sam: what is a sonic 4
I've watched this like 8 times now and it's still hilarious
This one dislike is eggman
11:19 I died when Sam did that dance when he listened to the hard boiled heavies theme. My new fav person
Yeah that's exactly how I was speechless
Nice review
Sam I love this review I agree with everything you said
Awesome video, man ;)
Sonic mania is an alternative timeline,angel island may have not floated
omg i did not notice that ending clue
9:52 the bridge is not burning.
Act 2 hydrocity felt the same as the original while act 1 felt entirely new.
Sonic Mania 2 with digital lock-on tech that allows for both mania 1&2 to be played as one full game with the super emeralds and hyper forms as your reward for completing all 14 special stages as well as a playable Amy!
Great video.
Thanks :)
You forgot that the bubble Shield prevents you from drowning
It also reflects most projectiles, but I think that was a thing in Sonic 3 aswell.
Yeah it is from Sonic 3
Maybe the Phantom ruby killed the power of the master emerald because you see its not green in knuckles story, and it only has a little bit of power left just to power the heavy king.
In sonic's story the master emerald is taken by heavy king which is why/how he powers up and alters his body b4 the true final boss
I mean it's quite possibly Angel island has a small lake-ocean beach off the jungle area that has it's own confined water space. Didn't bother me at all. Heck it's the same wtf-ery shown in the floating islands in from the Sonic OVA. Same premise.
I noticed Angel Island on the water again also.
the 1.5 player mode with sonic and tails was already included in the sonic 2 mobile version
Less of a step forward for the series and more of a step back to point out what worked in the three or so Sonic that 90s kids grew up with. I really would have liked to see them take what made those games work and improve it in some way, or add a new spin, instead of just a 1-1 recreation of the Genesis formula. But I guess I can appreciate it as a love letter by fans, for fans.
well classic fans
This review is awesome is there gonna be more reviews
YES!
According to the lore the Phantom Ruby made the island crash again... somehow.
This is a good review
Great review! X333
Sonic Mania Review
& Knuckles
You gonna review Sonic Mania Plus once it comes out?
Love duh vids man
GamerzHd2 Hey I know you on Daryle's video!
Bible shield let's you breath in water causing no drown
This game is a masterpiece, just like your videos :D
btw there is a pc glitch on steam the when you press forawd in a bonus stage you will be sped up like you did collect sphears but you didnt
Skip the backstory to 4:55
hey SEGA: I'm 39 years old now........ hope you enjoyed your time-off though ... :I
To answer your question about why Angel Island is in the ocean, it’s because Sonic Mania is now taking place after this fan game called Sonic After the Sequel where Angel Island sinks down for some reason at the end
No???? it stopped floating because of the phantom ruby affecting the area, eggman n the sonic forces comic book even state that with the phantom ruby power he would no longer need the master emerald (which btw he's stupid for just not taking both).
@@RaphielShiraha64bro responded to a 5 year joke comment
What do you mean with "Sonic finally goes back to his 2D roots"?
What about Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush?
25 years
I just wanted to ask what race are you?
Human
way better than IGN's review.
I think that maybe it was a fake master Emerald
Thx I love just love classic sonic then when I See sonic mania I wanted it so bad and I am 10
Did you know Mirage saloon was a scraped level from 2& cd
I did :)
@@SamProcrastinates I didn't :(
Wait do you mean desert dazzle and dust hill zone?
Take a shot every time he talks with his hands
My biggest issue with this game was the ending. The cliffhanger/slash tie in or whatever with Sonic Forces is fucking awful and even as an ending it pales in comparison to it's predecessors mainly Sonic CD. That's another thing the intro is fully animated but the ending is this weird clipart. It would've been nice to have an ending that recaps everything that happened during the game with the same animation quality as the intro.
Another thing is the missing stage transitions in the later half of the game. This wouldn't be a problem if there weren't stage transitions at all but they do exists and to have them disappear and reappear in some but not all of the stages later on makes the game look rushed out and unfinished. Because of this it makes the story in the end not make sense and it's up to us (the fans) to guess how they got from an underground water level to being up in the sky. Flying the Tornado. Oh did I mentioned Knuckles tagged along with them. Would've been nice to find out how and when their paths crossed but whatever.
Gameplay wise I have no big issues just some nitpicks. Some of the new stages are pretty short and blasting through them is incredibly easy and sometimes you can miss out some of the fun gimmicks the stages have to offer like the lottery dome in Studiopolis Act 2. Also had issues with Super Sonic. I love using him and I like his theme isn't a repetitive 3 second loop of the invisibility theme. At the same time I would like to have the option to turn his theme off and the ability to transform back to normal Sonic and friends.
Despite those issues I still go back to this game because it's so fun to play and the gameplay is for the most part solid. The stages are incredibly fun and the music is my second favorite in the series. I would say it's my personal favorite game of this year. I just hope the issues that I had (mainly the unfinished story) will be fixed with a possible sequel.
The special stages are like sonic cd
Good news
This is Sam's channel Bringing you lastest in Reviews for Mania!
Your Jokes are really stilted, no need to force them in...
Just be natural
I think his jokes are pretty funny no need to judge
Can you talk about Shadow possibly being in smash 😁
TIME EXTENSION!
20:36 fin.
Your kinda late on this, but I like the review!
Plz do a play through of sonic forces
i kinda get them not doing the sonic 3 and knuckles remaster for mj music but here me out bro is dead what he gunna do
10:59 you'll see what I'm talking about.
At 18:40 thats something you'll comw across REALLY REALLY commonly in the original genesis game. ESCPECIALLY that specific death. Trust me... I got a game over thanks to that fucking thing. lol
I think sonic mania takes place after sonic generations
what nintendon't 16:51 XD
DAAAYYYUM XD
If I'm not mistaken, the Phantom Ruby was strong enough to depower the Master Emerald, returning Angel Island to the sea.
Original?
Didnt sonic cd do that too
4:40
Here's a drinking game to play at home. Take a shot for every time where Sam says "For Example."
I'm happy you all got the Sonic game you wanted. But I didn't. let me explain:
My first Sonic game I ever played in my whole life? Sonic Adventure 2
The second Sonic game I ever played? Shadow The Hedgehog
next was Sonic Adventure 1. Then Heroes. Then Riders. Then 06.
In fact speaking of 06...that's exactly when this all happened. 2006, maybe early 2007. When I was 16 or 17 years old.
So, knowing all that, I hope people can see where I'm coming from and understand when I say that *I DO **_NOT_** GIVE A SINGLE SOLITARY FLYING FUDGCICLE ABOUT THE PIXELATED RETRO STYLED GENESIS-ESQUE SONIC GAMES. AT ALL.*
Again, I'm happy other people are happy. But I am not. in 2017, all you retro people got Sonic Mania. I got Forces. and no, I'm not gonna "give Mania a try". it's not just Sonic; I don't care at all about ANY video game from before 1996. any games from the 16 bit era and before are not even remotely close to having what I like about video games. I like story driven gameplay, I like being able to control the camera. I like 3 dimensions of movement. I don't care about 2d side-scrollers or 2d top downs.
So, can we like.....PLEASE get some of the people who have made their own 3D Sonic fan games into the same Situation as Christian Whitehead? Maybe the people behind that Sonic Project06 thing or that Sonic Project Hero thing or something? like...... *_PLEASE???_*
I understand where you're coming from since you really didn't grow up with the pixel art 16bit games. As I did...Mania was a dream come true. But I also loved Sonic Adventure. And I feel you about not getting another game like Sonic Adventure because I would love something like that next. What's disappointing for me as I LOVED Mania was it having any connection with Forces at all...want to see the sequel? Play the crappy game of Forces that's not Adventure to find out. It would've been AMAZING if instead of Forces, it was a Sonic Adventure (3) Mania. How cool would it have been if they had the return of 2D Sonic with Mania and the return of the best 3D Sonic of Sonic Adventure??
The Genesis indeed do what Nintendont like go Outta Buisiness 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😎😎😎😎👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
(And release their games on nintendo consoles)
now, I'm watching the crap comments on Forces at sonic forces story that uploaded at IGN. 😡😡😡😡😡
if you didnt finish the game yet stop watching at 19:12
Sure. Sonic Mania has an inconsistency and you say you "think too hard into this" but if Sonic Forces has an inconsistency you're quick to throw it under the train. Everyone does this and it annoys the crap out of me. Oh and by the way, the submarines in Oil Ocean are taken from Marina Madness (Knuckles Chaotix).
Alexandru Sonic Mania = game made within 2 years and MADE BY FANS. ( it also only had 1 inconsistency) I also didn’t mind it too much because I was having so much fun with the game.
Sonic Forces = game that took 4 years in development and was developed by a multi million dollar company. It also had MANY inconsistencies. And yes I was harder in that game because the gameplay was not fun.
So yeah, I WILL give Sonic Forces a hard time
@@SamProcrastinates and because mania was game that wasn't too focus on story forces on the other hand is a game that suppose to have more focus on story
@@SamProcrastinates Sonic Mania was a 2D sprite game (made with Sega's backing and interference). Forces is a 3D game made with a new engine and more demanding assets. That's not to say Forces is anything special, but a lot of fans bash it more than it really deserves. The only levels that were truly horrendous were the classic Sonic stages. And honestly, I don't remember it having too many inconsistencies in the story. The only one that comes to mind is Sonic being supposedly tortured but cracking jokes. But that could easily be explained as bad intel on Rouge's part. It's still not as bad as the plot holes from Sonic Adventure 2, which required more mental gymnastics. I guess I can see why fans are peed off, given how much they had to wait for a new game that wasn't Sonic Boom, but honestly, considering that it was the first game with the supposedly new engine and the game that freed us from that horrid Sonic Boom franchise, I'm willing to give it less trouble. As for Mania, I loved it, I bought it for multiple systems, as well as the physical edition on multiple systems, but it's not as perfect as people claim. It's got the N-th repeat of Green Hill and Chemical Plant and it has stages like Oil Ocean, Stardust Speedway and Metalic Madness which let's be honest, could have been replaced with better levels. The team did a great job with what they were allowed to work with and I commend them for that, but at the end of the day, they could never make a juicy hamburger out of lemons. Or to put it more bluntly (and rudely), about a 3rd of Mania consists of polished turd levels.
Also my previous comment wasn't about gameplay, it was about story inconsistencies.
11:01 but why though... why do you hate them?
I don't. I meant it in a nice way
EARLY
First
GOTTA GO FAST!
You're too slow!
