Hey, post-production Thomas. Just letting you know that you're not crazy and that, at 47:50, that isn't Tails flying in the air. That's another flying off-yellow Sonic character named Cream. They're more prominent in other Sonic games, but what you see here is their only cameo in Sonic Adventure (which kinda suits your experience of the game, all things considered).
there is actually another appearance of Cream in this game. I cant remember when exactly it takes place but she flies over the ocean from station square, I believe its during sonic or amy's playthrough
this cameo is only in the DX version btw, Cream's debut was in Sonic Advance 2 which came out in 2002 or so. at that time, Sonic Team was putting her in EVERYTHING
@GnegonGalek and in adventure 2 she's only playable/seen in the expansion multi-player mode "battle" she doesn't get her own chance to shine until adventure 3 for the gba
A lot of this jank is actually port specific. The constant pulling towards the right wall thing, for example, did not happen in the Dreamcast version. But let's be real here, the Dreamcast version was hardly jank-free.
the Dreamcast version even looks better. sure, characters have less polygons and the resolution is smaller, but there's colored light, daytime filters, etc that overall give a sense of artistic direction
As someone who only has the Dreamcast version, I know the Dreamcast isn’t 100% broken, but I’m pretty sure is that DX Director’s Cut is so much more buggy.
Big Is the easiest character in the entire game. By the way if you didn't have the instruction manual you could literally just click the how to play menu on big and it would literally tell you you have to press down to hook a fish once they have your lure in their mouth. Most of Bigs campaign levels take like 5 minutes the rest of the time is looking for upgrades.
It's not that I don't understand this game's flaws. Like, I do, genuinely. On a technical level, this game is held together with scotch tape and craft glue. But the fact that countless children were able to play this game to completion with no major problems is fucking baffling when you see how many grown ass adults on the internet can't understand simple things like holding forward during a scripted loop-de-loop.
@@kurosade3623 I whole-heartedly believe that kids just don't notice glitchy stuff like that because of the constantly shifting camera angles and how fast everything is happening. There's absolutely no other explanation in my mind. When you're 8 years old or whatever and stuff goes wonky like in this game you just don't register it as "game is breaking down" it's just "something happened, oh well try again"
"This game is beautiful" This is the first time I've heard someone say this about DX (For context: DX broke the lighting and changed a lot of the textures as well as the models for the main cast. They also broke some continuity with Speed Highway doing this, as the building you end the stage in is supposed to be the building in Station Square that you end up at after completing the stage) Also loved watching the madness that is the 2011 PC port
can't overstate how much I'm loving the long content. your videos using streams are so well edited. funny and interesting without it feeling slow. can't wait till you blow up even more so i can tell people i watched Therm before it was cool.
In Tails' story, Eggman's backup plan was to fire a nuke within visual range of himself, and he thought he'd be around afterwards to build Eggmanland over its rubble? And then when it's a dud, he plans to go to the missile and detonate it manually, while he's 0 feet away from the nuke? Does this "greatest scientific genius in the world" not know what nukes do to people who're within their blast radius?
One of his voice lines when racing Tails is, "I'll take the whole city with me," so I assume he was just throwing a temper tantrum and wanted to destroy it out of spite rather than with a plan. He did survive the Egg Carrier blowing up, though, so maybe he could take a missile too.
@@midgaur*stands completely still in the gamma boss fight and dies over and over* “…..ok” I pray he wasn’t insinuating that was the game’s fault in any way, shape, or form 💀 Like yes, if you dont move during a boss fight you’ll die. Shocking!
@@midgaurThe buggy version is the only way to play on PC. It's also pretty unintuitive. I like this game too, but people who don't like it aren't trying to slander it.
I remember watching these streams through one of the roughest periods of my life. I ended up having to run out of an awful living situation, but watching you play this game for the first time really helped (even if it was frustrating for you)! Thanks for playing :)
As someone who grew up with this game and still absolutely loves and adores it unironically with every fiber of my being, nothing makes me laugh more than seeing people experience the sheer amount of jank that is this game for the first time all these years later
I mean, the Dreamcast version was actually playable. It even looked pretty great for its time, particularly the water. Sometimes it feels like Sega goes out of their way to make sure the ports of good and decent entries in the Sonic series are as bad as possible, so as to properly match the quality of the worst games that were terrible on first release.
Biggest problem with sonic adventure here is you’re playing the DX port that was then ported to PC. The DX port already had major issues that the original game didn’t have, and the PC port of the DX version made them worse. I think there’s a mod someone made called like better DX or smth that’s goal is to remake it closer to the original Dreamcast version and not the GameCube one. Would highly recommend looking into that because the original was the best version of the games 😔😭
This isn’t Sonic Adventure. It’s Sonic Adventure Director’s Cut DX, a truly abysmal port of a much better game. Obviously I know you may not have known this, but you are playing the absolute worst version of the game. Better to emulate the original Dreamcast version, and best to play on actual Dreamcast hardware. 99% of the bugs you face in this game do not exist in the original release. Just mentioning that here in case you ever decide to play a better version of the game. :)
i think the last time i saw content of this game was when i watched game grumps years ago - extremely excited to to watch you play this one and others!
If you whoever is reading this, for some ungodly reason thinks you need this game in your life in 2023. Do yourself a favor and don't play this without the Better SADX steam mod pack. Its a painless one google search for it, choose whether you want the dreamcast looks or not (I recommend it tho). And the game will be actually playable.
36:40 "I miss my wife, tails" I went to tell on this group chat I have w my friends how funny was this video bcs of the editing and the Sonic adventures game, and they mentioned the snapcube's fandub and I literally told them that it wasnt that video but my fav moment was the I MISS MY WIFE TAILS and then you said it I was cracked up by the timing
your impressions remind me a lot of my own on my first playthrough, and I first played this game soon after DX came out 20 years ago. actually, mine might've been even worse cuz I didn't have a controller back then and played it on keyboard... the horror. can't wait to see the Adventure 2 video, the PC port is even more janky than DX imo, at least controls-wise. I expect to hear a lot of screaming lmao
TH-cam has been recommending me your Sonic streams since the first one (I wasn't subscribed until now) and now I understand I missed a lot by not watching those. I promise I'll watch the vods and catch up for your next stream!
People gotta realize that this game is broken and thats okay lol. People get upset when a game is busted or acts weird but its also part of the love with these old Sonic games. Therm obviously likes this game but is also reacting pretty fairly to its rougher edges.
This video is hysterical, I remember playing this game as the director's cut on the gamecube back in the day and I still love how janky controls are sometimes. I will say though, Sonic Adventure 2 has a much better story and levels in general, same with the chao garden.
Therm you don’t understand how much I want you to play Sonic Colors. It’s actually really well made, plus the soundtrack is imo the best one from any Sonic game
@@MattithYahu_Belmar ngl i don’t really like the soundtrack for sonic unleashed, there’s not that many memorable song imo. Also it’s 💯 nostalgia bias that I love colors so much so my opinion is technically invalid.

I cannot wait for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I've never been a huge fan of Adventure 1/DX, but I really like SA2B for some reason. Maybe the fact that there's so much content in that game is why. I've also just remembered what my username is, but despite that I'm not a die-hard sonic fan.
This is an incredible video. I recently found your channel and love your content! Your humor is similar to mine, and I laugh at every video ❤ I was also born in 2003!

It is also worth noting that the model looks far more brown due to issues with modeling on DX pc release iirc
she also hasn't been a game in like...a decade i think. lots of comics and other stuff but not the games.

The Dreamcast was much better than Gamecube and PC, it wasn't free of jank but you could complete the game without going through a wall by accident
the DX ports are based off of a earlier version of the game without some of the bug fixes in the final dreamcast port

Nobody in game said what kind of missile it is. It coulda just been filled with gunpowder for all we know

Although I’m sad he played the trash port DX and not the original :(
28:27 - you already *know* it's bad when he pauses the whole game and sits in silence 😭😭
I love these long videos you've been making lately, thank you for all the time you put into them!!
