Thank you so much for this incredible video, Santa Claus, and for introducing me to Dunkey's Castle which is truly the world's first open-zone store. I was delighted to discover that the store's international shipping policy even contained strand-type elements.
I can appreciate this video much more now that I played and finished the game myself, since I realize I didn't have nearly as much of an awful time with it as Dunkey did.
It's first thing I do, if you get invisible wall you know game sucks. If it's open world game a d areas are locked behind invisible wall or story progression and not behind op enemies it sucks. It takes like 5minutes of dicking around in open world to know if game is any good or not.

@@rowleyryan9025 yea in the like, 2 pieces of dialogue shown in the video compared to the entire rest of the game where he talks like a normal person, bit of an unfair statement
The game has so many callbacks to previous games in the series; Sonic tripping on a rock and faceplanting into the dirt is a reference to the Mach Speed sections of Sonic 06.
He used another Sonic team video games music at the very beginning. A Little gem called Billy Hatcher and The Giant egg, which is also critically acclaimed as the greatest game ever made. Which is in fact, indisputable
It looks like a tech demo, and I've seen people talking smack on Sonic Utopia for having an empty world even though it's a fan made game and feels better than anything sonic team have put out in years. People will go to any length to defend their sacred cow
Honestly, it just seems to me that the sonic fandom has been betrayed and abused so much and so often that they'd naturally latch on to any game that'd be passable by other franchise standards.

You can do that all over the map. There are spots everywhere that can send you flying. The invisible wall has only been noticeable on the first island so far. The rest of the levels are surrounded by water.
Sega did something remarkable in this game, they've made an complete open world, and they put borders everywhere if you stray off the main path. Thank you for always bringing something new to the table, Sega
I know dunkey made it look that way in the video for comedic effect, but it's really not like that. i barely ever encounter any invisible walls, and i usually already had enough collectibles to open the locked content straight away
The thing is, this is a joke video, the "dunkview" thing is nowhere to be seen yet sonic fans and dunkey fans are having a big war because of a video made to entertain lmao
I like how the first Island puzzle is fairly complicated with you having to actual sit there and figure out right placement for all of the paths to meet correctly.... just for the second island puzzle to literally just be "put da same color ball in the same color thing, ta da! you did it!" Like wtf???? Lmao.
I was surprised at how they just implemented the light puzzle for it to only come back in one more challenge on a smaller scale and nothing else remotely like the light puzzle from Kronos Island ever came back. And then the third one was pinball
@@TOM-ro7rt Yeah they give you the path but trying to figure out how to align each of the guiding stones is a bit challenging. Sure yeah it's not mind bendingly hard but it's certainly more challenging than "yellow ball goes into yellow holder" lmao.
I nearly cried when Hank said: “Sonic, you’re the fastest person I know, but you’re too slow to catch up to this seagull.”
This is truly when Sonic became slower than the seagull
Sonic: I AM THE SEAGULL!

"Well that sure is a frontier" - Sonic Frontier
A single tear.. It was the front tear, that's why it came out of your eyeball first. Sonic Front Tears.
The ending with the reviews was comedy gold
That was definitely the most painful part of the video
I had to look it up to see if it was true. It... was.
how is elden ring lower than this abomination
It just shows you that reviews mean literally nothing these days.
Yea.. and that slap of Elden Ring, ouch.
Thank you so much for this incredible video, Santa Claus, and for introducing me to Dunkey's Castle which is truly the world's first open-zone store. I was delighted to discover that the store's international shipping policy even contained strand-type elements.
I can appreciate this video much more now that I played and finished the game myself, since I realize I didn't have nearly as much of an awful time with it as Dunkey did.
I did.. I…did..
That clip of Buddy Rich playing a metal fill was genius
As a big band fan, I got excited. Dunkey videos have a little something for everyone.
Fuckin’ sent
I didn't think anyone else would catch that 👏👏👏
My fav moment
@@CrimsonOptics dunkey is a jazz fan- I think he referred to Trane’s Giant Steps in some other video.
the little hit at 3:54 gets me. it looks like it shouldnt happen
Thank you I've now watched it like 20 times in a row.
LMAOAOAOAOO im now seeing it but tbh thats kinda realistic
and the way it makes sound too
Soft thud of his head hitting a rock giving him severe internal bleedings, sending him right into a coma which must be why this game is what it is.
no way its 2012 republican presidential nominee mitt romney
Drake the type of guy to say “so…that was a thing” after defeating Giganto
i would buy this game if it was ten dollars and just fishing and chilling with Big
It amazes me how in every open world game dunkey reviews.. we will always get a clip of him trying to Scale a wall.
That what all plp do in open world
It's a common thing to do. It tells you how the game handles certain things.
It's first thing I do, if you get invisible wall you know game sucks. If it's open world game a d areas are locked behind invisible wall or story progression and not behind op enemies it sucks. It takes like 5minutes of dicking around in open world to know if game is any good or not.

One of the best fishing games I've ever seen 10/10
Even better then Shenmue 3
@@KarpetBurn even better than rdr2 as you've seen in the ratings
Big stupid looking cat blob but the fishing variety is good
Sonic's idle animation is the same as mine, a relatable masterpiece
Not a masterpiece! they forgot middle-aged man from Sonic 06 so it’s at least a 6/10

I swear, the environment looks like someone was playing around in Unreal and made their own fan game. Just a couple retouches on the awkwardly plastered terrain, level it out so players don't get stuck, and retouch the spaz on some of the bosses, and maybe you can show it to the sonic team! Oh, oh wait...
This is the fastest strand-type game yet, truly a technological marvel in gaming.
It’s so weird to hear sonic talk like an actual person and not crack jokes every 5 seconds
anti-gex
He talks like a Marvel character in this one bro
Bless Ian Flynn
@@rowleyryan9025 yea in the like, 2 pieces of dialogue shown in the video compared to the entire rest of the game where he talks like a normal person, bit of an unfair statement
He sounds like mirage from apex lmao
The game has so many callbacks to previous games in the series; Sonic tripping on a rock and faceplanting into the dirt is a reference to the Mach Speed sections of Sonic 06.
Especially the tumbling breakdance he does
i never got past kingdom valley mach speed
ok
The technical issues are, in fact, a tribute to Sonic 06. Did you guys seriously think they were not deliberate?
Hilarious
"Sonic just reviewed his own game" killed me right at the start.
When I think of Sonic, the first thing I think of is a stamina meter that quickly depletes from him simply running.
Worlds first frontier-type game. Truly innovative
Isn't "Papers Please" a thing?
clearly you've never played Brave Frontier
But it has that strand type feel to it too.
Worlds most original and thought provoking comment. Amazing
you forgot about the cycle frontier
The part where Sonic visited Los Pollos Hermanos was truly a gaming moment
Bravo Vince!
The fact that this game has a higher user score than Zelda BOTW is hilarious.
He used another Sonic team video games music at the very beginning. A Little gem called Billy Hatcher and The Giant egg, which is also critically acclaimed as the greatest game ever made. Which is in fact, indisputable
Jokes aside it’s funny how much more competent it was in comparison to every 3D Sonic game.
@@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime Yeah nah

It’s nice to see the Sonic Universe shift into strand type game play. I truly see this becoming the future of video gaming

more like 5 minutes. how the hell did they work on this tech demo for 5 years
@@bun197 tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game
@@Yoshhhhh No no, he's onto something.
This game looks and feels unpolished asf.
It looks like a tech demo, and I've seen people talking smack on Sonic Utopia for having an empty world even though it's a fan made game and feels better than anything sonic team have put out in years.
People will go to any length to defend their sacred cow
And that's why I switched to Crash and Spyro
Embarrassing considering Sonic Unleashed, a PS3/Xbox 360 game from 2008, looks more polished and has better graphics than Sonic Frontiers 💀
Honestly, it just seems to me that the sonic fandom has been betrayed and abused so much and so often that they'd naturally latch on to any game that'd be passable by other franchise standards.
The game isn't even bad but you're kinda right, I just hope it doesn't get to the point of pokemon fans 💀

@@TailsGuy72 Well at least we can validate each other
Sonic fans be like 'oh well it was written by Ian Flynn and not the dumb meta era writers, so the joke is funny now

It's so sad how many people didn't even play the game their just basing their thoughts off of dunkey. Like he didn't even show the good parts xD.
Ah yes the good parts non existing
@@MaskedMazterI’m biased cuz I’m a huge Sonic fan but there were tons of things in this game to enjoy. But honestly, I think Frontiers is the best for people who already loved/were familiar with Sonic lol

welcome to biased media
JESSE WE NEED TO COLLECT THE CHAOS EMERALDS
Sonic looping on that thing and reaching the top of the hill was the coolest part of the game but was immediately ruined by an invisible wall
You can do that all over the map. There are spots everywhere that can send you flying. The invisible wall has only been noticeable on the first island so far. The rest of the levels are surrounded by water.
Sega did something remarkable in this game, they've made an complete open world, and they put borders everywhere if you stray off the main path. Thank you for always bringing something new to the table, Sega
Lmao
I know, I love the Linear Openworld.
I know dunkey made it look that way in the video for comedic effect, but it's really not like that. i barely ever encounter any invisible walls, and i usually already had enough collectibles to open the locked content straight away
@@mvnkycheez Wrong. Dunkey didn't do that out of comedic effect.
@@mvnkycheez I have no idea where Dunkey found an invisible wall I'm legit impressed.

@@xthewhitewolf sure have bud, got about 5 hours in and returned the game to the store lmao
This is the review everyone was foaming at the mouth over? It doesn't seem that ruthless and negative
The thing is, this is a joke video, the "dunkview" thing is nowhere to be seen yet sonic fans and dunkey fans are having a big war because of a video made to entertain lmao
I like how the first Island puzzle is fairly complicated with you having to actual sit there and figure out right placement for all of the paths to meet correctly.... just for the second island puzzle to literally just be "put da same color ball in the same color thing, ta da! you did it!" Like wtf???? Lmao.
I was surprised at how they just implemented the light puzzle for it to only come back in one more challenge on a smaller scale and nothing else remotely like the light puzzle from Kronos Island ever came back. And then the third one was pinball
The light puzzle literally shows you the path
The game's difficulty is completely backwards. Like how level 1-2 is the hardest level in the game and everything after it is cake.
@@TOM-ro7rt Yeah they give you the path but trying to figure out how to align each of the guiding stones is a bit challenging. Sure yeah it's not mind bendingly hard but it's certainly more challenging than "yellow ball goes into yellow holder" lmao.
Lmao my exact thoughts. Half of the puzzles in the game are so braindead easy, that they shouldn't even be in the game at all
You can really tell he liked this one.
I like frontiers but WTF IS THAT SCORE!? HIGHER THAN SONIC MANIA!? NO WAY DUDE.
"He just reviewed his own game." 😂👏
