The fourth KH enemy type Ted was thinking about were the Dream Eaters in DDD. Well either them or he counts Xehanort as an enemy type, which is understandable.
Understandable, given how many different versions of Xehanort there are. Master Xehanort, Terra-Xehanort, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Xemnas, and the True Organization XIII all having a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart.
Still think their Sonic Adventure Revisit last year was the best. The editing was hilarious and the conversations were interesting and fun too. Most of them actually had to do with the game which I enjoyed more than the off shoot tangents from this LP.
@@AlphaladZXA Yeah but most of their LP's are better than that one in my opinion. Platinum was just bland most of the way through, unlike the funny banter from this one and others.
Now we wait till the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) Revisit.....That's gonna be one roller coaster of a commentary, and I'm looking forward to every second of it.
Oh, I hope that actually ends up being a thing. I love seeing others play Sonic 06 simply due to hilarious it is to see how many ways one can break that game.
Oh I can't wait to see them rip that game apart & give it the trashing it deserves. I never watched their previous commentary on 06 so I'm definitely looking forward to their revisit on that game eventually.
Mario9919 eh Merlina wasn’t so much evil as a case of “Good intentions, Bad Execution”. She wasn’t so much trying to cause harm or gain power so much as try and prevent everything from dying by using her power and then becoming partially consumed by it.
It's still evil, but it's important to know the difference. You could make the case that Sonic was evil from trying to stop Merlina from creating an eternal world where people and other forms of life live forever. But we know he's not evil.
@@Mario9919DX Merlina isn't evil at all. She's trying to prevent a future tragedy from happening (She found out what would happen to the kingdom and its citizens using her magic) and save many lives. Her intentions were entirely pure and good. The wrong thing done for the right reason is still the wrong thing though.
Yet Another Let’s Player dammit you beat be to the joke. So while we’re at it, which knights are assigned to each commentator. I think Ryan would be Percival since he was the one that found the Holy BrainScratchComms. Lewis would be Galahad since he was shot to the moon and made fun of pothead the porcupine.
LuigiRobs14 I remember the Nightmares more because it’s easy to make jokes that Yen Sid is racist since it had the goes “don’t trust the black ones” or something like that
Here I am spending the entire LP watching them riff on the concepts that come up in this game like Darkspine Sonic and the Eldritch final boss thing and I can't help but think that they're all really cool. DarkSpine having absorbed a few of the World Rings which makes the power and emotions surge through him and has to kick back giant energy balls and stuff. Dark Super Sonic comes from Sonic Adventure explaining that the Chaos Emeralds have a positive and a negative polarity within them which is what happens during the Perfect Chaos fight. And the wishing for a mountain of handkerchief is touching in my eyes because it's Sonic doing his best to help comfort Shahra because what else can he do? He's a young guy who's never really been through this before and I think it leads pretty nicely into the speech with Merlina in Black Knight about life because of all the experiences he's had.
too bad the game doesn't really DO anything with the ariban knights or the themes of the stories, making everything really just pointless. I mean, WHY did the rings eject themselves from djinn and went into sonic? because he was feelign those emotions? because they don't relaly explain WHY.
See that's the thing for me. A lot of Sonic stuff is just fanfiction level stuff of 'then he was purple and kinda like Super sonic', and other writing decisions, but I can't help but enjoy it. The Sonic franchise does some of the most bonkers stuff and I just like it, kinda like Sonic is the junk food of video games. It's bad for you but goddamn do I love it.
CanterlotCrusader Well my thing is I don't really see it as fan fiction level stuff. Sure it seems ridiculous but it's a tale of fantasy. People will just take it as Sonic is a blue hedgehog who goes fast and anything going beyond that concept is ridiculous yet Mario fights Bowser on the moon and in black holes along with fighting dark demon stuff in the RPGs.
TheZeldaExperienceWithin not enough to get Chris beyond the problem of “does practically nothing in the show.” Also, there are more than 2 Sagas before the Metarex Saga. What are you talking about?
@@MasterArchfiend There were many countries which were ruled by a prince instead of a king. Mostly because coronation as a first king is a political move that could upset empires.
Someone in BSC forgot that Chaos is Power Enriched by the Heart. Shadow uses both positive and negative Chaos power in his game, Perfect Chaos is running off negative Chaos power, and Sonic usually uses positive Chaos power, except in a couple of situations.
ANGERY SONIC I can mainly hear Ted's Boston when he says "room" I mean Maryland was historically southern in culture (and rarely you can still find a Confederate flag in the most backwater areas even though we stayed in the union) but these days yeah it's almost entirely Northern in culture no matter how much we tell ourselves we're a special in between I WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT ALARM WAS ADD-ON: I love how I've seen like one person in comments say Maryland is neither northern or southern, one call it southern, and two call it northern. Our state has a weird identity crisis and I love it.
Darkspine is literally the Super Saiyan 4 of Sonic. A transformation considered the best looking among most fans, but unfortunately came from a widely unliked source.
Just thought I would throw this in real quick. As someone who just got done 100% this game (I regret it already), getting a gold medal for this boss F*CKING KILLS your arms and wrists. You have to constantly shake back and forth to charge soul up, charge it again to use speed break to get to him, shake AGAIN to hit him, then rinse repeat till he dies. And the attacks that arsnt the lines on screen are VERY inconsistent to dodge
Wow. This was honestly my favorite BSC Let's play of the year. Every part was awesome and funny (considering how much everybody hates this game). I loved this LP
-I honestly I love the idea of a half transformation... & now I wonder what a 7 Rings DarkSpine sonic would look like -so what Garreth is saying, is that we need to have Roger Craig Smith as Sonic tell Sonic Team how to improve the franchise? -ok no, that's the thing, Aladdin was already a prince, he's the Prince of Thieves AND he ended up marrying Jasmine so he is Royalty by the end of the movie
The 3D Model of Dark Spine Sonic doesn't seem to imitate the art of him just before the fight happens. Because his spikes seem to mimick Knuckles' Dreadlocks a bit, but in-game he just has the normal spikes...the CG model kinda looks like it, but they just look like they're longer and droopy.
Part of me really just wants to throw out all the tension for these scenario and just have Sonic exit the book and burn it all with Erazor in it with his fire place and just go back to sleep.
This game is a lot shorter then I thought when you edit out deaths and know where to go in this poorly constructed structure where they give you 12 different missions but only one of them is actually required to proceed with the story, and then at the last second make you go back and get the 7 world rings if you missed them the first time (which you probably did).
man, I hate this game, but sonic's 3 wishes are always fun to watch, it's fun to watch this character who's been high and mighty the whole game, constantly shit talking sonic whenever he shows up, made to grovel and complain as he's forced to undo everything he accomplished in the story
I remember not having a next gen console at the time and not understanding that Sonic went down the shitter. I used to read Wikipedia articles about the game and go crazy for screenshots of things like Darkspine Sonic lmao. I can't believe how far we've come.
same, i remember being like 10 and seeing the mephiles card in sonic rivals 2 and being like "WHO IS THIS, HES SO COOL, I WANNA PLAY THE GAME THIS GUY IS FROM" i was wrong, but still, it was a fun time, good memories
Well yeah, Genesis is taking a good game and making it horrible and Shadow takes forever to finish because you have to play the game multiple times, plus it's level design/control can just suck.
@@joshuaowens4095 Johnny at least finds some enjoyment out of the Sonic portion of that game more than Shadow, he's stated he's never had any sort of fun with Shadow or Genesis.
9:46 early Brainscratch it was that. Original sonic trilogy, megaman X games, original SA2 but that was more each other in the commentary than people in the comments
I feel like not liking Darkspine Sonic is a generational gap. Because if you're one of those guys that really liked Sonic X's concept of Dark Sonic, you'll love Darkspine Sonic
28:55 OBJECTION! Only Aladdin's mother died. His father was still alive. He was in the third film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Also, Aladdin only used one wish. As stated, he tricked Genie into letting him out of the Cave of Wonders without using a wish. When Aladdin nearly drowned after hanging out with Jasmine, Genie had to rescue him. Aladdin didn't make the wish, Genie moved his mouth to make it look like he made a wish (Aladdin was unconscious at the time).
Because this game was made on a pretty thin budget. Sonic Team was already working on 3 games at the time this was made ( Riders, Phantasy Star Universe and 06 ) It's obvious that they tried to give more priority to 06.
@@jamainegardner4193 Rivals was made by a canadian studio. As for that awful GBA port, i don't know if it wade by them. I do know that Riders, which also came out in 2006, was made by a completely different Sonic Team branch than the one that made 06 and Secret Rings.
I didn't hate this game. End of m y sophomore year of college I was playing through this and I honestly really enjoyed it then. I realize it's no masterpiece and there were control issues, but I enjoyed the presentation, even the music I liked. Also really enjoyed the concept behind Darkspine Sonic. Definitely a minority on liking it though, haha.
After seeing that after-credits scene, they probably should have gone the Sonic Boom route and turned this and Black Knight into TV series to tell those stories we never got in the games! We could have Sonic, Ali Baba and Sinbad take care of the remaining dark spirits in the Arabian Nights while trying to get Sonic home and in Camelot we could see Sonic realize how much being a king is a pain in the ass while trying to get home!
I don't know how Gareth alone turned this into an FTCR Let's Play, but it was amazing! Black Knight's either gonna be more of this or a mini Sonic Adventure style debate, and I'm looking forward to either. The final boss is trash and Darkspine Sonic is weird, but I have to admit Sonic beating the shit out of the boss is great. That said, I have to deduct points for them giving the boss just enough health to die to a regular hit instead of a finisher. I have to wonder why the boss in gameplay looks completely different than he did in the cutscene.
BSC would seriously benefit with Gareth in... Like the others are super funny but their funniness does not kick off unless Gareth kinda jumps in with his energy. His laugh can cure cancer, man. XD
Like Ryan said, that’s like me with my Chicagoan accent. Even though I’ve lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas longer than I did the Chicago area of Illinois, I grew up there. So, naturally, I picked up the Chicagoan accent more naturally than the Dallas area one. Then again, North Central Texan accents are more subdued than anywhere else.
11:31 "Why are we on this kinda discount crystal Lost Hex for?" Isn't discount Lost Hex a redundant statement? 34:04 Kinda ironic considering the franchise they're for.
I haven’t seen the end of this video yet, so I don’t know if this is said for final thoughts. All in all, any enjoyment of this game, compared to ‘06, comes down to whether you prefer a buggy game with tight controls, or a stable game with bad controls. For me, once I got used to the controls(which didn’t take that long), I got plenty of enjoyment from this game, which is more than I can say for ‘06.
I wouldn’t say ‘06 has “tight” controls, just workable (and most assuredly more reliable than Secret Rings). Also, have you seen Clement’s ‘06 review lately? There are so many bigger issues in ‘06 than just glitches
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use the Aegis Slider ability with a lot of speed to just slide right through the sidle sections? I remember that being a thing since that ability makes you invincible while sliding. Also... holy crap I don't remember that opera-style wailing when Erazor Djinn transforms cause damn... I cracked-up hearing it!
Aladdin's father is the King of Thieves that makes Aladdin the Prince of Thieves, so Genie made it so Aladdin's dad would become the King of Thieves. All Aladdin wished for was to become a prince he never specified what kind of prince
If we want to mention Sonic enemy designs that look like enemies from Disney owned games, how about the Time Eater bearing resemblance to the Blot from Epic Mickey?
The fourth KH enemy type Ted was thinking about were the Dream Eaters in DDD.
Well either them or he counts Xehanort as an enemy type, which is understandable.
And Bugs from Coded
And Nomura from Kingdom Hearts

“Why is nobody matching with me, Knuckles?”
"this is the original whites only rainbow road"

I wouldn't say Shara was "evil the whole time". Instead she was just kinda manipulated in a stupid way.
I'm pretty sure she wasn't evil. The next game's female on the other hand is evil.
Mario9919 eh Merlina wasn’t so much evil as a case of “Good intentions, Bad Execution”. She wasn’t so much trying to cause harm or gain power so much as try and prevent everything from dying by using her power and then becoming partially consumed by it.

I realize it's no masterpiece and there were control issues, but I enjoyed the presentation, even the music I liked. Also really enjoyed the concept behind Darkspine Sonic. Definitely a minority on liking it though, haha.
After seeing that after-credits scene, they probably should have gone the Sonic Boom route and turned this and Black Knight into TV series to tell those stories we never got in the games! We could have Sonic, Ali Baba and Sinbad take care of the remaining dark spirits in the Arabian Nights while trying to get Sonic home and in Camelot we could see Sonic realize how much being a king is a pain in the ass while trying to get home!
Damn this ended so quickly. What a good time this was can't wait for the next sonic title.
In Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic unlocks the Saber class (complete with EXCALIBUR LASERS). In this one, he unlocks Berserker.
to be fair dark spine sonic is alot more interesting then sonic wearing super sonic armor in black knight.
15:37 uh.....never realized that there was a typo there
I don't know how Gareth alone turned this into an FTCR Let's Play, but it was amazing! Black Knight's either gonna be more of this or a mini Sonic Adventure style debate, and I'm looking forward to either.
The final boss is trash and Darkspine Sonic is weird, but I have to admit Sonic beating the shit out of the boss is great. That said, I have to deduct points for them giving the boss just enough health to die to a regular hit instead of a finisher. I have to wonder why the boss in gameplay looks completely different than he did in the cutscene.
Probably kinda hard to make a believable final boss that is a amorphous blob. My guess at least.
I think it looks different because he ejected 3 of the rings.
Supress the Boston, don't let it control you.
Them: *making jokes about the handkerchiefs*
Me: *laughing so hard I'm crying and wheezing* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait for the next storybook game
"Sonic and the Alexander Greek tragedy"
"that ain't falcon"
- the last line of this LP
Where does that "2 chips and a coke" line come from? I'm curious.
The stupidest Sonic transformation can only be Ultra Sonic from the Archie comics.
Make Believes Reborn!
All the other lyrics I can't recall!
MAKE BELIEVES REBORN!
BSC would seriously benefit with Gareth in...
Like the others are super funny but their funniness does not kick off unless Gareth kinda jumps in with his energy. His laugh can cure cancer, man. XD
4:37 I swear, there are two actual bear characters in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog that sound exactly like that
Why did you have to remind me?!
33:28 did Jason Griffith go under a different name in the end credits?
Like Ryan said, that’s like me with my Chicagoan accent. Even though I’ve lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas longer than I did the Chicago area of Illinois, I grew up there. So, naturally, I picked up the Chicagoan accent more naturally than the Dallas area one. Then again, North Central Texan accents are more subdued than anywhere else.
Benji wishing he was Sonic is adorable.
11:31 "Why are we on this kinda discount crystal Lost Hex for?"
Isn't discount Lost Hex a redundant statement?
34:04 Kinda ironic considering the franchise they're for.
Alf Wa Layla Wa Layla is definitely my favorite final boss in the franchise.
For design, mechanics, or in general?
In general.
I haven’t seen the end of this video yet, so I don’t know if this is said for final thoughts. All in all, any enjoyment of this game, compared to ‘06, comes down to whether you prefer a buggy game with tight controls, or a stable game with bad controls. For me, once I got used to the controls(which didn’t take that long), I got plenty of enjoyment from this game, which is more than I can say for ‘06.
yeah, same happened to me when i was a kid, i actually really love this game, and part of it is that i never really had an issue with the controls
I wouldn’t say ‘06 has “tight” controls, just workable (and most assuredly more reliable than Secret Rings). Also, have you seen Clement’s ‘06 review lately? There are so many bigger issues in ‘06 than just glitches
@Awesomizer 2000 it’s been years, so I don’t remember most of it. I’m just referring to the gameplay.
@@aionicthunder 06 does have tight controls and handling. It's the awful physics and colission detection which make the controls feel bad.
First the SHC, this lp and sgb doing generations, this is definitely a lot of sonic being deepthroated down my feed
*sonic deepthroated
Lol, perfect description.
It looks like Sonic is rap dancing on that energy ball
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use the Aegis Slider ability with a lot of speed to just slide right through the sidle sections? I remember that being a thing since that ability makes you invincible while sliding.
Also... holy crap I don't remember that opera-style wailing when Erazor Djinn transforms cause damn... I cracked-up hearing it!
Yes you can it's extremely helpful when going for the Gold Medals
You know, watching it, I really want to play this game again since I like it... but I will have to take out my Wii U.
Aladdin's father is the King of Thieves that makes Aladdin the Prince of Thieves, so Genie made it so Aladdin's dad would become the King of Thieves. All Aladdin wished for was to become a prince he never specified what kind of prince
If we want to mention Sonic enemy designs that look like enemies from Disney owned games, how about the Time Eater bearing resemblance to the Blot from Epic Mickey?
Ted, Ted, Ted...
Hexes are great for outdoor areas, trees, rivers, anything trying to use rounded shapes
I’m from Cleveland and I just noticed that I do the Ohio “Ope” but it’s comes out more like an ophm or an oof.
