In all fairness to heroes It's lack of polish was due to Sony holding Sega hostage. Sega originally only wanted it for the GCN and GameCube and built the game around those consoles. But late into development Sony told them to put it on ps2 by it's initial release day or they will do to them what Nintendo did to square when the made ff7 for ps1 forcing them to forgo dev time dedicated to polish to switch to the render ware engine and making sure the game is at the very least playable on ps2.
And this is why GCN heroes is the best port. Special stages were actually possible. I have no clue what crack I was on when I played the ps2 port and was able to comprehend it when I was a kid cuz I was able to get most of the emeralds barring 7
I grew up with Sonic Adventure, that & its sequel were the 3D titles. I played them on the Dreamcast, best port. The 1st one had that charm being from the late 90s for some reason.
Oh no I have, I just kept the other versions out just to not make it so there's two of the same game in different spots since the icons are nearly identical. I think I briefly mentioned it in the beginning.
Honestly I don't think I will, at least not soon, I have only played a few of the games so it would be a very short list and don't think I'd have much to say about them.
it's not just that the movement is too fast, the problem is that this makes turning less precise. Sonic feels like he's on ice the whole time it's really weird.
Only 3 Sonic games in S tier and two are 2d Sonic games and one 3D game in that same tier? Sonic Heroes almost being in F tier? Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2 not in S tier? Sonic Frontiers??? In B tier?? Bro theres way too much wrong with this tier list when theres a lot of great Sonic games listed here in low tiers!
Half the ones you didn't play are the best ones. Sonic Rush Adventure? Sonic Battle? The Sonic Advance games? Sonic Colors DS? The Sonic Riders games Hello?
Should do a sonic character tier list (basically every character that has caused and/or changed an outcome in at least 1 game) good joke potential everywhere.
Sonic Frontiers is actually the greatest mainline game since Sonic Generations with everything between the two being various levels of mediocrity. crazy enough it does something that was never done before and that's having vocal songs for every major boss fight. sure the OG fight with the purple moon called The End was the worst idea Sega has ever come up with and it's a lot worse than Perfect Dark Gaia on the Xbox 360/PS3 version of Sonic Unleashed where to land the final blow you had to input the homing attack sixty times in a single quick time event. the OG final boss is a bullet hell chore that thankfully is only done on hard mode but if you're persistent and determined enough it rewards you with arguably the best ending theme song in the game One Way Dream by Nathan Sharp (also known as the youtuber NateWantsToBattle) as a mid credits song. but I also agree that even with the Free DLC updates it's overall an A Rank due to the minor issues it has.
You should let the presidents do the Sonic OSTs tier list, also I enjoyed Frontiers, some levels are tough but I managed to beat them, also I beat the pinball game first try. XD
I'll admit repeating myself does happen on occasion and I don't always hear it when listening back, which results in me repeating myself on occasion, though I usually catch it when listening back so I don't repeat myself on occasion.
The worst thing about Sonic 06 wasn't the glitches that every 3d Sonic has, but it was the fucking loading screens that killed it. The game is legit 70% loading screens/time.
I do agree with some of these rankings however I will say I don't agree with your ranking of sonic forces. The hate behind the game is overhyped and while you do make some very good points on why it's bad I'd say the game was very fun to play. It was my introduction to the sonic franchise. I remember going on TH-cam and I saw these cutscenes for sonic forces and I watched all of them. I thought the game was cool and very fun with a good concept. The gameplay was also relatively good as it focuses primarily on speed unlike some of the other sonic games I've played where you have to wait around or carefully plan your next move. I loved playing this game and destroying robots in the blink of an eye and I thought infinite was a cool character but he was wasted. Overall I feel like this game should at least go into mid or bottom of B tier and at most the very bottom of A tier.
I think Sega Enterprises Sonic games and Sega corp Sonic games would need two separate tier lists. In the grand scheme Sega Enterprises could steamroll sega corp anyday. It's a shame that Sega Enterprises met it's end in 2002. SA3 could've been epic. The beta dilogue from the ending of SA2 would've hinted towards SA3, but it was changed do to Sega Enterprises' imminent collapse so the dialogue was charged. Also, Shadow did die. There's a cut voice line of him screaming as he burns to dust in the atmosphere. It's disturbing and really emphasizes how agonizing his death was. Then Sega corp ruins everything, and has been a poor joke for the past 22 years. They piggyback on Sega Enterprises' works while making it worse. Then they resurrect Shadow and make him as demented as Joe Biden. Fortunately none of the Sega corp games are canon. (Also, Sonic '06 was literally a waste of time. The story amounted to nothing. A disappointing end to a disappointing game.)
@@jeroenboth167 aw, maybe the video is no longer available. Originally Eggman was moreso disappointed that his plans had failed and that next time he'll conquer the world by himself (without relying on anything else such as Chaos or his grandfather's creations.) Overall he was more hostile in his tone. Tails grumply responded: "Fine with me!" With the seemingly impending bankruptcy of Sega Enterprises (they were in a *REALLY* bad financial situation) they figured it was best to change the dialogue to a more bittersweet tone.
I did put in Sonic Generations, the HD version to be specific, just didn't rank the 3ds version separately. I should have reworded the list to indicate there were duplicates though. As for Sonic Advance I just haven't played them, but if I do a Part 2 I'll include them.
I agree with the low ranking of Infinite, but I think it should be in F tier. I think you forgot to mention that they made you pay 10 dollars or something for the shadow episodes *spoilers below* which didn’t add much to the story besides why Infinite became… the villain. It was literally because Shadow beat him up a little bit and called him a weak loser. Then, the character of Tails got demolished, they somehow brought back Classic Sonic despite the portal to his dimension being closed, if I remember Generations correctly, forever. Your OC can barely be called a character because they had no voice lines and also were just beating up Infinite, somehow. Not to mention they kind of tried to make Infinite like Nazo, except, a whiny brat. And Eggman, how did he get out of the void without any technology at his disposal? Did he just craft from nothingness?
S2, S3, and CD should be in B, Heroes in A, SA1 in A, and SA2 in B. SA2 is downgrade in character progression from SA1, had linear stages with the only exception of the first stage, and you're forced to play with a shooting and treasure hunting gameplay when you didn't have to in SA1.
💀💀💀🙏🙏🙏 Nah lil bro S2 and S3 are where the franchise peaked CD I agree should be in B But Heroes in A? Nah bro u trippin harder than Joe with that take Repetitive stages mid soundtrack cringe voice acting and wonky hit detection make that game a C tier slog SA1 and SA2 should be in opposite spots You cry about the linear speed stages but that's for the sake of focus - and really? SA1 didn't have treasure hunting and mechs? You just gonna pretend Knuckles and Gamma weren't in that game?
How is sonic and the secret rings a B tier? The motion controls are very terrible and don’t work properly so you can’t even move and you have to spend like 90% of the game doing unrelated missions vs any actual stages which there are only 7 in the game
Nah sonic adventure 2 emerald stages suck. I legit was spending over an hour on them because I could not damn find the emerald. Sa2 has terrible pacing

Joe I know you were 70 years old when sonic one came out 😂
Actually, he was 48 at the time.
Bam
Kinda sad that you had Shadow the Hedgehog as "didn't play", would have loved seeing the presidents argue over that one
Not having played black knight but played secret rings is criminal
I remember getting Sonic R from Circuit City with Sonic 3D Blast for PC. Good times man, good times
I grew up with Sonic Adventure, that & its sequel were the 3D titles. I played them on the Dreamcast, best port. The 1st one had that charm being from the late 90s for some reason.
Wild how the presidents talked about sonic rush without mentioning the goated OST. That alone puts it into A-tier
1 hour of pure kino
Didn´t expect Obama to be so based with the Adventure games
The fact the person running this channel has never played sonic unleashed, sonic generations, and the og goat sonic colors is wild to me

Pretty cool tier list! Would love to see a Kirby tier list, haven’t seen anyone do that before.
Honestly I don't think I will, at least not soon, I have only played a few of the games so it would be a very short list and don't think I'd have much to say about them.
I beat Sonic Heroes when I was 6. The only issue I had was switching rails. "It moves too fast." for a Sonic game is a skill issue.
Ps2 port I agree that was a problem on GCN it was gas
it's not just that the movement is too fast, the problem is that this makes turning less precise. Sonic feels like he's on ice the whole time it's really weird.

Should do a sonic character tier list (basically every character that has caused and/or changed an outcome in at least 1 game) good joke potential everywhere.
Was about to pass through this TH-cam recommendation,but 1hour is crazy
I find it crazy that sonic generations and sonic mania is higher than sonic adventure 2
I remember watching these is 2020 and thinking how accurate they sounded. Now, Joe's speech has declined so rapidly they sound like different people.
4:42 oh my slimmy mentioned
the binging is finished
Sonic Frontiers is actually the greatest mainline game since Sonic Generations with everything between the two being various levels of mediocrity. crazy enough it does something that was never done before and that's having vocal songs for every major boss fight.

the OG final boss is a bullet hell chore that thankfully is only done on hard mode but if you're persistent and determined enough it rewards you with arguably the best ending theme song in the game One Way Dream by Nathan Sharp (also known as the youtuber NateWantsToBattle) as a mid credits song.

Sonic CD in C TIER!?!? It's the first game they came to that was 100% an S tier. It's arguably the best 2D sonic game ever made.
@theatricult and those obstacles would be fine if they were actually well placed throughout the levels.
@theatricult Absolutely, I still enjoyed some levels but I hate Wacky Workbench and Stardust Speedway. The special stages are abysmal too.
NOT HAVING PLAYED RUSH ADVENTURE IS CRIMINAL! ITS PEAK 2D SONIC!
