Dude you are a legend. Just a shame on me that it took me 3 of your helpful videos to subscribe! 😄😄

Forgot where was a safe place to download it

Does the PC version allow you to play the game in 4:3 without borders?

This game is awesome! But it's OK. I still play it and have poured hundreds of hours into it! I just love running around the open zones and completing those platforming challenges! While the platforms are scattered around with seemingly no cohesion, I think they're still well designed and add to that mystery of looking AI generated, which helps with the backstory of Sage, and I don't mind the platforms being suspended above the ground, as I still think the game looks great. There's just something about it, the aesthetic and the music, and especially the story, that makes me want to keep playing it. The enemy and boss designs are stellar. The titan fights are highlights, though gameplay wise, they are really easy. I agree about Cyberspace, and I don't mind them reusing old levels as long as they are fun. I wish the combat was a little better, and Sonic's parry timing should be changed across each difficulty. It's bizarre that they didn't do it for Sonic yet for other characters they did. With the latest patch, the physics are better, it's less buggy, but the difficulty has been eased, which was in response to the complaints from fans, but I wish they did that as a choice, rather than replacing the previous difficulty. But despite that, I think this is better than Shadow Generations. I think it has the soul of an open world Sonic game. Though I do wish they'd further update it a little more, as it would be perfect for me. Do you think they'll still update or patch this in the near future? I'd love it if they could fix the pop-in. I can't believe it's been a year since the best Sonic game got the best update! I find all playable characters fun to play, though not as much as Sonic, of course. They made the platforming challenges much harder and more open-ended, less linear than previous ones, which were too simple and automated. The new ending is a mixed bag for me. But the story is even better than before. What makes this game better than others is that I think it does playable characters the best. It also doesn't waste your playtime with non Sonic gimmicks as much as otherSonic games, especially Adventures 1 and 2, and Sonic feels great and fast to control. I disagree heavily when people say it's a Breath of the Wild ripoff as while it's clearly inspired, it also has a lot of differences, and I think I like it more. I even like that some challenges make use of momentum and make you think outside the box. The puzzles are mostly not challenging, but more like movement exercises, and i don't mind doing them. Overall, a masterpiece ✨️ Yeah, I don't mind the reusing of level layouts as the new movement makes it feel different. I similarly don't mind the koco quests, with most being optional, as long as they're not too annoying or pacebreaking. The worst part is probably the pinball minigame or the laser puzzle or the crane task. Cyberspace looks exactly like Generations, but I do like how they at least added the digital effect to make it feel new. Also, I like the presentation. I think the animations are quite good in general, better than in previous games, and I don't mind the realistic artstyle. While it's a triple A game, I do wish there were some CGI cutscenes, but that's probably because of the day-night system, so everything runs in real-time. As I said before, I really liked Frontiers, and it was almost perfect. In my opinion, it can only get better, not worse. Forces, while I think it's very overhated, and I kinda like it, I also find it kinda hard to defend, and I feel it was the dip in budget and quality and passion, it terms of both gameplay, design, story, and presentation, even though I don't think it's souless or lazy like many say. Frontiers, to me, felt like a high budget game, even though some corners were clearly cut. Not to be a blatant hater, but I don't think we'll ever return to that dip of content in the 2010s, as while I think saying it was the definition of mediocrity is a bit harsh, I don't think you could get worse than that. The next mainline game might not always be better than the last, but at least it won't ever be of that quality, let alone worse. Frontiers might have been great, but it can only get better, and that's hard to imagine!

Might be an unpopular opinion, but, I don't really like how the characters look in the Dreamcast version.

"Why would I want the Dreamcast version of the characters if I can have a higher fidelity--" "You can wear the seasonal costumes in single player!" "GET OUT OF MY WAY, I NOW NEED THIS." Thank you for this video. It helped me get started on trying to mod SA2 and experience it most like the Dreamcast version for the first time.

Ah yes... Adventure era sound balancing. Takes me right back.

Is it possible to get acchivements even with mods? I want to buy the game and get 100%, but I dont want to install mods if they block achievements

Yes

Played it on pre-launch. It surpassed the hype.

Uploaded 18 years ago! The people born when this video first came out are now legal adults.

Your himithy

9:12 😂

OG xbox was the next Sega Dreamcast

I use Linux and the installer doesn't work but Flycast is also a great option if you want that true Dreamcast experience.

Almost thought you were German because „gut“ means good in german

31:22 it's like how artists flip their canvas to notice mistakes better - you see it from a different perspective so it helps to notice things that are out of place. Same with your scripts and tts software - you hear it read aloud and listen to it so it's more noticeable when something's strange than when you're re-reading it yourself

I just came here to watch an old video about Sonic '06 and all I found in this comment section was people mentioning comments that were defending this game! Like holy shit! This fanbase is something else. Some people would say here that this game would've been good if it wasn't rushed. Well, if that happened, this game would've been just mid at best! Because you would still have the awful story, the bad controls, the half-assed side characters, the bleak hub worlds, the terrible side missions, Shadow's crappy vehicles and the ball puzzles. Just like that, ambitious or not, this game was doomed from the beginning. You like it? Okay, more power to you. But just like that you can't defend it like it was a misunderstood masterpiece at its time when it clearly wasn't. It's a fundamentally flawed terrible game, end of story. So don't even try.

SONIC 3 ANGEL ISLAND REVISITED

work at a higher class town/state

I hope this game doesn’t get the prequel treatment, where morons who grew up with it treat it like it’s hidden kino

My condolences and good luck man 👍

Update: The mod "SA2 Input Controls" finally allows us to fix the sensitivity for grind rails!

I thought you were gonna go on about about us getting hit and how we have only play 25% of the game (properly)

now with decomp of the mobile ports exist,now they are natively playeble on pc and now there are mods like sonic 1 forever and sonic 2 absolute that adds even more features and they let you use secret level select options in a saved game

We are here.

It's wild how this guide is outdated just 1 year out because - there's a new mod loader that works for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 (SA Mod Manager) - 1 mod that replaces all of the rendering fixes and higher quality textures (SA2 Render Fix) - and a mod for fixing the grind rail controls (SA2 Input Controls) If you find the time, I recommend coming back to this video to see how much of it needs to be updated, perhaps a much smaller part 2/adendem video

Man we are with you!

Glad to hear that things are improving on your end! Take your time with the videos! We'll be here!

I am so happy for you Blaze! To be clear I am totally excited to hear more what you have to say re: Sonic Adventure 2 mods, seeing as that is my favorite game and I still haven't set up the mods from your first video, so it's great to hear that that's coming out next year, but even beyond that I am even more excited that things are going better behind the scenes. I don't know if I've ever made this clear in the way I've spoken to you in the past, but I have been thinking about you ever since you broke the news all those years ago, and I've been hoping for something, anything to happen that would help you out. I was discussing this in a twitch chat in a streamer I watch the other day with other chatters, but I really don't want the youtubers / twitch streamers I watch to burn themselves out making stuff, even stuff I really like, because their health is way more important to me than my entertainment. Obviously the various algorithms disagrees (which is part of why I hate them), but I will wait however long I need to for the videos you make. Everything you've made has always been quality, and in the case of Sonic Adventure 2 modding...I'm gonna be honest, I'm still just as busy now as I was when you released the first video, so I still have no time to set anything up. Like I will absolutely watch it on release, day one, but I probably won't be able to do anything haha. So at least from my perspective, I'm not especially desperate for it, you know? So as far as I am concerned, all things considered, you're doing great. Keep on keeping on.

It's definitely not accurate to say that emulators are usually very complicated to set up. In the worst case scenario, you typically only need the BIOS/firmware files for the relevant console. Beyond that, most of them are pretty easy to set up (in my experience).

I'm glad to hear that you're making improvements in your life. I've been through some of these issues myself, and I want to express my condolences for your loss. Here's to hoping for better years to come!

umm sonic three is a part of genesis classics?

I'm glad CaseOh's delving into sonic content

Love the channel update Blaze! Keep pushing. As someone who enjoyed SFGHQ back in the day and watching SAGE unfold every year, I enjoy anything you bring out. Don't pressure yourself, KZbin seems to be on your side with view counts even though you go against the algorithm trend. But also, I probably speak for more than just myself when I say I enjoy all the videos you come out with! Keep at it!

i would watch more videos from you, but a) i don't think to check back here often, if at all, and that's because b) yt only recommends your videos when it's a sonic upload. for example, i'm not the biggest fan of jurassic park, but i would have watched it anyway because i love the sound of your voice, the raspiness is soothing to me and i wanna support your channel more. i didn't even know that video existed, so i'm going to watch it after this

big fan of the channel dude, hope everything goes well. Lookin forward to anythin ya got cookin. Those SA games were such a good time back in the day

I like the idea of keeping Sonic himself an aloof hero with no attachment to a place of time in particular, and then having the side characters rep the facets of the world. Knuckles can be the lore guy, Shadow can be the shonen influence guy, Amy repping the sometimes overlooked legacy characters and so on.

Is Mogulus apart of Goozix?

I remember, if vaguely, getting into Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 with you video for guidance to mods back in 2020. I genuinely think that those videos have carved a noticeable path in my life. Now it's 2024. The mod of mine you commented on is years old. And now seeing a face and hearing what you've been through really made me feel connected to you. Sounds a bit more parasoical than I'd like, but I gotta be honest! I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the year and beyond!

Glad you're coming back, dude! I wish you good luck with everything!

Glad to see you're getting back to it! A lot of big and frankly scary change is coming soon but I can't wait to see you come out of the gates swinging with even more awesome stuff!

Completely felt bro. More than you know. I wish you good luck

Sorry to hear you were stuck in a rut. I’m pretty eager to watch your videos when you put out new ones so it’ll be nice to see more next year.
