I remember when Sonic 06 was at GDQ and the runner said that the game is thoroughly broken, but consistently broken. Anyone can do that skip, every time.
For me, the best part about that was the initial "This game is made like shit, there's gotta be a way" and he was right, that's a known glitch that many people do to get past that stupid room.
A youtuber named Charriii5 counted and assuming you beat every mission and never changed hubs unnecessarily, and never had to reload, there are *465 loading screens* , which end up taking 1:58:34, or a minute and a half shy of ***two hours*** .
The Speed run Records for '06 is as such: Any% 360: Nick867 - 2h 36min 40s PS3: Slysonic - 4h 10m 25s Emulator: Labrys- 2h 3min 7s 440ms (without the loads) 100% (The Masochist Section) 360: FocusSight - 7h 49m 56s PS3: MatiXD153 - 9h 3m 3s Emulator: N/A Let that sink in for a second...
8:50 the worst part about this section is that it's so easy to eat up your lives and if you get a game over you don't restart the level. You have to load your last manual save. You'd have the start the game from the beginning if you didn't know that.
Bruh, you're not even that far off. During development they split the dev team again and again to work on multiple projects. By the end the only people working on it were inexperienced devs who didn't exactly know what made sonic fun to begin with and maybe a janitor. Combine that with a ridiculously strict deadline and working on consoles they had no experience with and the result is this hot mess we see before us.
This game is awful to play, but I get their intentions on what they were trying to do. The concept was not the worst thing ever, just bad exection. I mostly blame the higher ups at Sega for this games failure, since they split the sonic team to work on this game and Sonic and the Secret Rings, and they rushed this out to meet the deadline for the 15th anniversary. I still think Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is the worst Sonic ever, at least this game had ambition and tried harder than that game.
I've seen the cutscenes for this game many times, but this is the first time I've ever heard the official voice acting, I've only ever seen fan dubs, and honestly I kinda wish I had kept it that way lol
Just to give an idea of how much loading is in this game for those unaware: Charriii5 in his "Everything Wrong With" had to edit out 465 REQUIRED load screens (no failed missions, no unnecessary backtracking, basically if you play the game and go where you need to pretty much perfectly), almost 2 hours of load time
I love seeing someone whose never heard or seen a bad game/film/song, and what they think of it; The sight of them in shock, fear, and maybe even despair is a delight to see.
9:20 The answer is, the entire city map. Every time. The upside to having played and beaten this game is, you now enjoy it infinitely more when you watch someone else suffer the game. This just proves the heart of man is evil, not good.
First it was Michael, then it was Arin, and now it’s Ray. The circle is complete lol. Also, I love Arin’s sarcastic comment when they subbed for 17 months asking what game this and that they are not familiar with it XD
It's still a damn shame what this game became. Rushed to meet a deadline, half the team was split off to do Secret Rings, content was lost between the demo and the full release. It was just one thing after the other. The fan project Sonic P-06 kinda shows what this could have been a fair bit. If it'd had an extra year or so, maybe y'know not had SEGA split the team up and in general just wasn't so troubled to put together. Man it could have been so much more even with the weird story beats... The ultimate problem though is that despite the game being out longer than the anniversary it represented. So many still use this as the catalyst of what to expect from every game that came after and eventually lead to the team simplifying everything down to a near boring extent. Ah well... At least the films are great!
This was actually my first ps3 game. Just seeing this again brings back painful memories of thinking how bad I was . Turns out the game was a turd all along.
Ohhh, I get it! Your comp is of your most painful playthrough ever, right after re-experiencing your most painful AH series ever (Minecraft)! Well done on the timing :P
The purple gem hack is great; the camera registers there’s a floor beneath you when you’re small so you jump infinitely because the camera assumes you’re jumping off of a floor every time
the one thing that is consistent throughout EVERY playthrough of this game by every TH-camr no matter who they are the one thing that every single person says without fail is the opening looks like Final Fantasy
Copyright be damned if he played it the artist of Dreams of an Absolution (can't remember his name for the life of me) would have a field day alongside TH-cam
@@kamikazesopp Me too, but my money's on that not happening. My guess is he doesn't want to remind people of it or the Jon times (though, I say "remind," but I'm curious how many current viewers even watched back then, so maybe it's more of "he'd like them to not find out and compare"). He already removed a few episodes for jokes that didn't age the best. I doubt he wants people quoting those playthroughs again, even if they're quoting harmless jokes.
@@hollowheart i more ment the overall plot (as convoluted as it is) and the ideas for the levels like this is a dessert level in 06, okay lets make a dessert level
I think one of the funniest things about this game is that you can't really tell if the game has crashed or not right before it goes into a load screen, because everything just freezes.
I think the worst thing about this for me is that as a kid, I fucking loved this game. I never made it past the second level. I honestly don't know why 7 year old me loved this game. My only guess is that my brother and I had gotten an xbox 360 shortly before this. Brand new sonic on a brand new console. Early on for the 360 there wasn't a lot of games for kids.
I think there is an important milestone to hit as a Sonic fan where you transcend anger and embrace acceptance. You stop defending them, you stop getting annoyed at people who aren't fans talking shit, because you know they're right. Is it really a higher state? Or are we trapped and in denial? I love Sonic and all it's garbage *so* much, and there are some decent and fun titles, but I understand that people aren't interested. 06 is a goddamn nightmare, Colors and Generations are alright, not great, but alright is big for Sonic. I do not expect people who aren't already invested to have any desire to play them.
its one of those wierd cases where that was apearantly ALWAYS a thing in the japanese version of sonic.. (not the love interest but sonic just being on... earth or something with humans) but they thought that was wierd in the west so they made up the whole "mobius" thing setting it on a different planet or w/e
Despite everything in this game Ride 2 Hell Retribution is still much worse. Theres no fully clothedSex Scene with sonic and the human in game and music will play.
Best thing I ever heard was that the creator of sonic would draw the hands first then draw the pose around them, which is why all sonic poses are god awful and hilarious
As someone who played through this game a few times when I was younger… it may have honestly take. Ray longer to do the ball puzzle legitimately than it did to flip through the wall.
Watching ray suffer through this makes me want to see his reaction to the decent 3d sonics I would love to see him play the wii version of unleashed (which imo is better then the 360 version except for the final super sonic section) and sonic colors
Ride to hell is worse because at least this game is tolerable ride to hell is not terrible AI, terrible story (worse than 06 by that I mean it's boring) that and this game has worse bugs than 06 (game can crash frequently on PC alongside collision detection and roads failing to load causing you to just fall to your death in driving missions most of the time) and yet 06 isn't as bad so stop complaining this game is many years old that and Sonic Boom is worse anyway same for Forces so yeah seriously people have to stop complaining about 0y there's worse games out there luv
Sad thing is, this could've potentially been a pretty great game if the devs had just spent more time on the game and less time on the pre-rendered cutscenes....ok, them and the writers. Sonic actually lends itself quite well to Final Fantasy style storytelling but it has to be done just right. **sigh** but then again the Sonic games have pretty much been suffering from an identity crisis since they went all 3D; one moment it's trying to be Final Fantasy, the next moment it's trying to be some weird hybrid of Sonic and Grand Theft Auto (see Shadow The Hedgehog), and now they've gone for a more child friendly storytelling approach with stuff like Sonic Boom and Team Sonic Racing.
Ray clipping through the wall to avoid the ball gauntlet is the most modern Sonic thing I’ve ever seen.
I remember when Sonic 06 was at GDQ and the runner said that the game is thoroughly broken, but consistently broken. Anyone can do that skip, every time.
"Why'd I go for the collectible? I don't even care!"

It’s Arin. What do you expect? XD

This has happened to me several times... I stopped playing after learning this. XD
@jalejablonsky2396 Yup. That's most people's stopping point lol. That or the speedrun section.
I feel like this game was made by one person, that plus Ray's fantastic commentary actually had me crying with laughter a few times.

The game that sparked one of the greatest memes of all time.
