Yeah. GUN was just straight up evil back then. Attacking the Ark, holding all the scientists at gunpoint, killing Maria, drove Gerald into insanity, and just tearing the whole place down like a bunch of delinquents. Yeah, I don't blame Shadow for hating GUN after what they've done to him. Dude needs a hug.
@adammilette3076 Word of advice for both The Doom and Lost Impact; Avoid opening any locked doors at all costs, or the whole level will become one giant maze
@MarioMastar I find both The Doom and Lost Impact to be fairly easier to navigate so long as you don't unlock any of the doors. Once the doors are open, it turns into a nightmarish maze where all the hallways look the same.
Maria should have been the guide for this boss battle because Black Doom (they really should have thought of a better name for him) was already the guide for Blue Falcon.
This mission is driving me nuts! This is the only mission I need to do to unlock Expert Mode, but my game isn't in good condition AT ALL and my game keeps spawning unnecessary bottomless pits, and one death = no A rank.

If you ask me, this dark mission is more meaningful than that of Central City. In Central City, Black Doom tells Shadow about the Ark, leaving him to speculate how it went down. Here in The Doom, Black Doom Shows Shadow about The Ark.
@@psychie8625 I guess the sound cue in Mad Matrix kinda helps me get over the insane long dark mission though. If you do the Hero mission there it has those nice audio cues
honestly feels like this should have been a pure dark mission because what makes more sense to you Shadow blindly following Black Doom's orders or Black Doom showing Shadow Maria's death while also leaving out crucial details about it to tempt him to the dark side
@@Chibimoon_9834 Because it has redeeming qualities. Personally, I like the concept and gameplay. But the story was undercooked and the fact you have to do at least 10 play throughs to get the true ending really doesn’t help at all.

Easily the worst mission in the game. Fittingly enough, it's also in the worst stage in the game, The Doom. This is basically the Hero mission from Lost Impact, but the fact that this mission is glitched makes it worse. Almost every time you play The Doom, in the final room of GUN troops, one of them will always be missing. It fails to load consistently, and the only way to fix this glitch is to use the checkpoint teleporters, which somehow convinces the game to relent and finally spawn the missing troop. Some of the GUN troops can even fall through the floor out of nowhere. How is anyone supposed to know the remedy for these issues on their first playthrough? This stage is pure agony for these reasons alone.
Shadow really had a bad time growing up didn't he? be honest, in terms of gameplay, who do you prefer, Sonic or Shadow? IMO, i think they had a good Idea with this game, but bad execution.
5:48 this is me when I get back at people and being brutally honest and openly hateful towards them saying something like this or like saying now you know how it feels when you did this to me or something
for a game about speed, those lifts take their sweet fucking time.
5:47 "Now you know what true suffering is, you pathetic humans!"
...you have to play this mission to hear that, so Shadow is right.
Waiting for the elevators " I feel the pain Shadow"
This is literally me when I get back at people and me being brutally honest and open towards them about it

The hero mission of lost impact is even worse lol

7 years late but this vid was a life saver.

Shadow: Now you know what true suffering is, you pathetic humans.
Funny how it seems like Shadow is describing the level when he says that.

"Human weapons?! Mere toys! Destroy them all!"

You know your a shit army when a high tech milatary vehicle is destroyed by a hedgehog
a hedgehog that can move faster then light immune to all diseases and how multiple abilities u just talking shadow can be scaled to multiversal plus
I love how the dead GUN trooper at 4:47: is just chilling
If this level is set 50 years ago, does that imply the ARK was built during the Cold War?
Eggmun different universe = different sequence of events. Its not 2019 in the sonic universe

SpartanCreeper T This game was made in 2005.
@@Werten25 it's even earlier than that bc the first time they say "50 years ago" is in SA2, which was released in 2001
Indeed.

slow elevators are slow
And now, for the longest mission in the friggin game right here..
Mad Matrix says hi.
I don't care if this is old.
@@psychie8625 I guess the sound cue in Mad Matrix kinda helps me get over the insane long dark mission though. If you do the Hero mission there it has those nice audio cues
you know, I may hate the Dark Missions, but this Dark Mission really fits the setting to the next stage

Was Black Doom (they really should have thought of a better name for him) really there fifty years ago when this happened?
They should remaster this
Why?
Ummmmm... NO.
Yes they should.

They definitely should remaster this and change A LOT of missions and take out the edginess of ridiculousness.

@WiiMaster91 You're thinking of Lost Impact, but you were close so I'll give you the consolation prize.
A response to your comment.
Is the stage clear quote showing that Shadow embraced the darkness or did he break the 4th wall to frustrated fans?
Probably both.
I think
Thanks to this vid, it makes the level easier ;) The level layout is a mess like Lost Impact One, these are the worst in this game.
(Shadow) Now you know what true suffering is, you pathetic humans! 5:46
Awesome Video!
HOW DARE YOU HARM MARIA! DISGUSTING HUMANS OUTTA MY SIGHT!
@MetalMike558 Depends if we're talking about Sonic Adventure 2 Shadow or Shadow the Hedgehog Shadow.
Well, this looks painful to navigate.

NAME OF THE SONG PLEASE!!!!!! THAT DRUM N BASS TRACK SLAPS
Doing the Dark Mission feels very wrong imo since the hero mission character is Maria.
MAAAAAARIAAAAA
hmmmm....
@thelegogangsta117 Nope.
@AzureBlade49 im gonna say probably Sonic Adventure 2, but dont quote me
Goddamn, you're good.
@Below No, Shadow and Maria is not bestiality.
gotta love that boss music from sonic adventure 2. ahem* game u should have lp'd instead of this one *ahem
would shadow and maria be considered bestiality? 0o0
Its platonic, not the other kind
Both were made by Gerald so I would consider shadow her cousin?
What are you even talking about? They’re not even in relationship, plus Shadow is NOT feral.
