Silver's existence is pain. He suffers in the story, and he suffers from the fanbase and SEGA as he's still seen as a joke character from the biggest commercial flop in Sonic's history. They put Silver in the list of problems with the game, when in reality he has nothing to do with it. It's just simply the game was rushed and was a buggy mess. Silver has a lot of potential, and they tried to use him for a bit with the Sonic Rivals games on PSP, but eventually he just fell off and they gave up on him. He was such a minor side character in Sonic Forces and his only screen time where he got to fight was where he was humiliated by Infinite. After Sonic Unleashed and the writers for Sonic changed during Sonic Colors and onward, the series went into this weird self-deprecation and meta commentary path. I'm glad that they got someone who actually cares about Sonic to write stories for the games now.

fun fact: maybe blaze doesn't exist in 06 and it's just silver going crazy since he's the only one that talks directly to her, i know about that one time with mephiles but mephiles kinda ignores her since he doesn't say anything back, idk if this was intentional or just something the devs didn't notice, but if was intentional then they pulled a hell of a good story telling trick

It’s about time! Sonic colours is top 5 and you can’t tell me otherwise. I will gladly meat ride sonic colours if I have to cause I LOVE the game!

i know bringing unofficial stuff is kinda of a weak argument but the mods are amazing bro like they really kept it alive for me

Fat Kid land is awesome

When I saw the words "Sonic Colors" and "Good" in the same sentence I was SHOCKED.

The word you're looking for is "peak"

Next time Im gonna make your cover, NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

When the heck was there 2 of them actors

LITERALLY THIS. dreams of an absolution always had this meaning to me and literally 06 is so depressing and so is his theme!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't really call this game overrated, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Honestly it would feel more completed if they included all the levels from the 3DS version for the remaster, especially considering we actually HAVE mods FOR those stages in the base game! I'd say that's about 3-4 more hours added into the game as well as an entire separate campaign dedicated to Shadow!

U gotta be kidding me

No

"Overrated is when game have flaws" ahh take

I 100 percent egree Sonic generations (vanilla) is overrated. The (vanilla) rank sucks! (vanilla) Classic is awful! 😡And the boost filter! Fuck the boost filter Fuck Fuck Fuck the Fucking boost filter!!!!!6/10...But Moded generations is a 10/10!😍

This has to be rage bait like actually

this video was made before project re rainbow

Every single sonic related thing is bad according to the "fanbase"

The homage to the stages are great but in my honest opinion the story wasn’t done correctly and the hub world were rather lazy

I may be able to see some of your points, but I've never actually played the game myself and have only seen the cutscenes. Still seemed like a decent way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise. Also I respect your opinion on Roger's earlier performances as Sonic, though personally I think people slightly overexaggerate how cringy it could get sometimes. Then again it might be my bias talking cause Roger's actually my favourite Sonic voice ever. Sorry Jason Griffith fans.

i always the last part in a more general sense. the pursuit of happiness will only bring misery, as you're always going to be chasing this perfect happiness that isn't possible. thats because happiness isn't a destination, its just a state of being. just like sadness, anger, fear, and the rest, nothing lasts forever, but believe all feelings are possible

I never got the chance to play HD Unleashed until recently with Xenia Canary. I really feel the same for gens now, Unleashed daytime gameplay is a lot better than gens for me especially because of how demanding it is and the sky-high skill ceiling it has (The drift isn't trash on Unleashed, you need to know how to use it properly) gens trying to streamline the gameplay started the trend of holding boost to win and making it less satisfying overall for me still I feel the game deserve praise this is the sonic game that win everyone back after sonic 2006 fiasco

Gen is probably my top 3 sonic games of all time, and even I can say this game is overrated. People need to understand calling something overrated, doesn't mean it sucks, it just means it made out to be better than it really is.

5:04 Definitely not, people overexaggerate. Every single Sonic 3D game before 06 had glitches and other technical issues. 06 is just a little worse in terms of glitches and shit, but I still think it's fun once you get hang of it. Multiple playstyles, long uniquely structured levels, mechanics, etc.

Classic Sonic IS overrated as hell, boost levels are pretty damn good though. I'd give this game a 7/10.

You will never take crisis city act 2 away from me

Okay wall of text cause I want to address the points you made in your video. Obviously I think the statement is crazy but I'm sure you knew that before even pressing record lol. I feel like talking about the length of Sonic games is kind of redundant, I would rather play a good game that lasts 3 hours or so that has loads of replay ability than a game that’s double the length, but not even close to being as good. I feel when looking at other games in the series you start to realize how this factor matters less and less for the series. Sonic 2 is an incredibly short game, Heroes is also a short game unless going for the True End, in which case you just play the same stages an extra 3 times. Even the games that do give you a good multiple hours of playtime like Unleashed, the number of stages is on par with that of Generations, 9 Day, 9 Night. 9 Modern, 9 Classic. Ultimately, I think the duration of a Sonic game should have little to no bearing on how it's rated, especially when it still has a decent amount of content and quality. I’ll give you the ranking system, it was so bad in this game lol. I overlook it mainly cause just going to try and beat my time is satisfying enough, but it’s something that needed improvement. From what I’ve seen, Shadow Generations seems to be remedying this with tighter restrictions on rank. I also agree that Classic Sonic in this game is nowhere near what I expected him to be like during the hype cycle for this game. That being said, I don’t necessarily think it’s *terrible*? Not having momentum carried through with your rolls does suck, but there’s so much enjoyment to be had finding the perfect spin dash jump spot and skipping large chunks of the level. Just because it’s a celebration game doesn’t mean it has to be faithful to the original. Even in the first stage you play, the level of Green Hill is very different after the first few sections, the only allusion to the classic Green Hill being the aesthetics of the stage. It’s a different playstyle for the character that, in my opinion, was fun enough to come back to every now and then. While I would’ve liked more 3D sections, especially since those sections in Generations shined the brightest, I think Modern Sonic absolutely should have 2D elements in his stages. The very foundation of the boost formula comes from Rush, a 2D platformer. It has the benefit of being easier to design sections with, while also being a call back to an iconic game. As for the nostalgia pandering bit, I feel this is a very unfair assessment to make for the game. At the time of release, many of the stages in the game hadn’t been seen since their release, except for Green Hill appearing in Adventure 2. Sonic as a series was 20 at the time of release, after many incidents that would kill any other franchise, I think it’s fine for a game to be made celebrating the highs and lows the franchise went through to get where they are. This point seems to be coming from a future perspective, knowing just how much they try to nostalgia pander in Forces and Frontiers, but I just don’t think that’s a fair perspective to take when looking at this game. Also, on the side tangent about “false advertising,” it’s not like the game still isn’t a 3D platformer. And the Sonic Colors Ultimate mention I found was a bit odd, of course they’re not going to show bugs in their trailers, there’s a chance they didn’t even know those drastic of bugs existed. Calling it false advertising because they didn’t display a list of all the unknown bugs is frankly a bit of a ridiculous statement to make. All that being said I did enjoy the unique takes on this game that many including myself hold so dearly.

My issue with gens is how it controls. Not the boost formula entirely-- it's just this game. Modern Sonic's movement is very stiff, and can be difficult to move around: he takes way wider turns than he should. Colours had this to an extent as well, but I'd argue with more open areas in Generations (like City Escape) it starts to become a problem. What I'm talking about is most noticeable at lower speeds and 3D platforming. Try running in a circle, then compare to Unleashed. At low speeds in Unleashed, the control was very tight, almost akin to SA2. You took very tight turns that allowed for precise platforming in 3D. Generations on the other hand has you taking very wide turns that makes platforming awkward to maneuver. You can even see it in his running animation; it isn't synced as well to how he's moving in Generations. All of this does carry over while moving at high speeds too. It works very well for 2D segments, but in 3D it feels off. I wouldn't say gens is overrated, but is definitely isn't flawless. I will admit that some my grievances comes from being used to the control of earlier games, but I can't really think of a good reason as to why control was made to be stiffer from Unleashed, and even Colours.

As someone who loves generations, I can see why there are people who think it’s overrated and disagree with its praise, if I’m being honest that’s exactly how I feel towards Mania actually. While I don’t entirely disagree with your points, I also think they apply more to Mania than Generations, as Generations was built around celebrating the past and it was before SEGA started plastering Green Hill over everything, with Mania though, I feel that game kinda has a bit of an identity crisis, as it always feels like it’s trying to be a nostalgia trip and a evolution for the future constantly, nowhere is that more prevalent than your “jingling keys” argument, as I’d argue Mania does that a lot more than Generations, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, just something I noticed. All this is to say, I don’t fully agree, but that doesn’t mean this is a bad video, just thought I’d give my perspective is all.

Sonic generations stages are hit or miss. It takes good stages and makes them worse sometimes. Crisis city, rooftop run, planet wisp, and city escape are a disgrace and disservice to the original levels designs. And to be brutally honest, the stages as a whole are just...way less fun than unleashed daytime levels.

Sonic Generations is one of my favorite Sonic games. Boost stages are awesome and the music slaps. But yeah, it’s got issues. The physics and collision suck, story’s mid, I don’t like Classic Sonic here, and I still run into a lot of glitches casually to this day.

Been saying this since it came out. I genuinely hate how it's become the de-facto sonic game; and how easily people brush aside it's low points just because it's generations. The double standards go crazy with this game and it's only going to rear its head when SxS drops and suddenly the community is going to switch up on Generations.

Generations is fun and fine enough, but I have never agreed with it being the best 3d Sonic game. I actually have a funny story about it. I had played Generations months maybe a year prior, and when i was done, i felt a bit empty inside. "This is the best Sonic game? This?" I was so bothered by the issues i noticed with the game. Issues that made it feel like 'not sonic' to me. I had heard how everyone said the game was anazing and was so excited to play it, only to be utterly dissppointed by: Lack of story, some levels being annoying, bad/boring boss battles, lack of a good new vocal track, mostly 2d, its too short, planet wisp, and stiff controls. It just made me sour and put it right next to secret rings as one of my most disliked sonic games. (I have softened on it recently, but im still not treating it like the best of the best.) Some time after, i tried out Sonic 06 for the first time, and long story short, despite some frustration at bugs and some other stuff, i really liked the game. I heard it was bad, that i would hate, yet i loved it. How weird... So I guess the moral of the story is, don't blindly believe opinions on games as fact, for you may enjoy the bad game and hate the good game. It's dependant on what you like, not what others like. All that said, i am excited for SonicxShadow Generations.

We truly are just hating on every sonic game in order huh? Is there a good sonic game anymore?

Nine is the best version of Tails

i watched the first season i need to watch the other ones

Generations is a slap in the face to Adventure era fans. The entire boost formula is a slap in the face, its basically sega saying they are too lazy and lack the skill to create an adventure style game again. Honestly its probably sammy's fault but, whatever.

The bills CANNOT be this high 💀

These sonic mf be calling everything overrated sa2 generations mania whats next unleashed?

sonic generations may have it's flaws but compared to almost every other sonic game the flaws are miniscule, the 2d sections in the modern stages while redundant are still enjoyable, classic sonic while not faithful is still fun play as unlike the werehog or the other playable charactersin the adventure games, the game may be short but that's because they didn't add unnecessary padding like medals, the nostalgia pandering was a genuine celebration (the only reason look at it negatively is because the other games after did it) and the ontop of that is the fact that this is the most polished sonic has ever been in 3d, all this comes together to make the most well rounded sonic game.

Gens is mid because it doesn't have shadow to be a porn game (sxs)

Gameplaywise its awesome!

nah a game having flaws doesnt mean that its overrated. i can see some of your points, sure, but its a perfect wrap up of what was made prior and a great introduction to the series. the ranking system is garbage but who said you had to stop once you get your S rank? it's pretty much endlessly replayable and a huge library of mods to support it. and now its getting remastered in a time where post release content is more popular than ever. thats just my take tho lol

For what generations did for the franchise, that alone is why I still agree with the amount of praise it gets, on its own it’s still a very fun time, the only issue I had was I wish there was more and I’m very happy that’s what we are now getting with another playable character and almost double the content now.

Man the Generations hate is crazy.

did you say forces is 6 hours long? its like 3 at most beating the story unless you die A LOT
