Be sure to keep an eye on the project, as well! xash3d-FWGS_dc by maximqad on GitHub. Still very early on, but he's making a ton of progress, very fast!

Congrats on the original comment! I'll go ahead and throw it on the pile with the rest. Thank you for reading the room!

@@LobotomyTC seems I struck a nerve... sorry but what did u expect when u made a title like that and then chose that of all towers🤣

@@jordanjones3850 It's the most fun one.

I guess I don't read comments that often. They've patched the game again, so my input settings here wouldn't be the same as they are in 1.41, but I basically turned the air deceleration to 0, and turned the ground deceleration to like somewhere between 2-8, but that's the value they changed in 1.41. Suffice it to say, it's tuned so that sonic takes 1.5-2 steps before stopping if you flick the stick in a direction from a stop. Tried to make it as similar to Sonic Generations as possible. Tracker's Physics is also a good mod to pick up on GameBanana.

What if I told you that all of the difficulty from Eggmanland was down to framerate? I mean, other than it being a 45 minute gauntlet on your first playthrough.

I tightrope walked it when I found they didn't respawn. Gotta go, uh, slow and careful.

Some challenges are annoying as well

It looks like the training mode should have been the first 3 towers, but that isn't how it panned out. I think you should have started The Final Horizon with the Perfect Parry, so there was time to get used to it. I would rather the Hard Mode of the game just start you off with the Perfect Parry from the day it was released. I don't know why they did that.

@@LobotomyTC The famous "When didn't have time" or just don't trusting they players xd

I swear to God that mentality of "oh no, our players aren't really players, so let's build the way for them" gets tiring. Sonic team, I know you always wanted to make your games more accesible to the public, but man.... There's no need to add like 10000000000 dash pads, create easy mode for people who don't know how to play a f**king game and a hard mode FOR MORE HARDCORE PLAYERS! That's why I love Sonic unleashed, it's not to complicated to understand but its not a easy game either, it has its challenge the more you make "progress", something that is logic.

@@gekko3592 I think they just need to trust the players with the fact that people know what sonic the hedgehog games are and what to expect from them, so there's no reason to baby the player with the dash panels. I think some of their use is just down to making Sonic's movement work, but when you remove them from stages, they still play fine.

They're all easy.

Nobody should be complaining about ANY of the platforming.

@@LobotomyTC Ok, well you didn't make that case. You made the case for the fifth tower not being hard. That'd be like if I said Dark Souls was hard and you tried to disprove it by playing Life is Strange.

I can't tell if this was written by a bot or not lmao.

It's not

frfr ong actually bussin I give it a skibidi/10

late to this, but here you go: Island Tweaker, Improved Ambient Lighting, Subsurface Scattering Fix, Misc. Visual Fixes, Graphics Enhancement, PRM Rings, Cyber Ghost Removed Playable Edition, Trailer LUTs, Reimagined Platforms, Free Fall Code, Boost Blur Fix, Tracker's Physics (Not used in this video IIRC, but it's one of my favorites.), Sonic Frontiers DevToos, Lower Camera, Fallen Fleet, Sonic Model Edit, Alternate Jump Ball + Trail, Playable Amy, Tails and Knuckles, Character Normalizer. I have way more codes enabled than I do mods, but if you want those, I can tell you what I have enabled as well.

@LobotomyTC Please do, thank you! And no worries on being late

It's the Alternate Jump Ball mod.

You do know that the power boost becomes permanent when speed is at max level, right?

I can tell you right off the bat to set your ground deceleration to 8, and air acceleration to 0. The other characters don't seem to behave quite the same way to the ground deceleration setting, but there is a mod/HMM code for that. The rest of the control settings are a matter of preference, but I went for the tightest and twitchiest scheme I could find.

The Spindash was released in Update 2. You have to S-Rank all of the Island Challenges that were also added. The spindash is an absolute godsend, and that and the deceleration in air and on land sliders bumped this 7/10 game up a full point for me. Turn those deceleration sliders to 0 in air and 8/100 on the ground, and it's basically the perfect mixture between Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Adventure 1. I have another video demonstrating how wonderful this move is.

You can cheese a lot of them though. I am in love with the skinny platforms and box puzzles they threw in. I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they're charming. Almost like little Sonic 06 hub world missions you don't have to wait until the heat death of the universe to load in.

Which would have been completely fine if it weren't for that meddling perfect parry. The game simply wasn't built for it, even if there was always a timed parry in development. None of the bosses do a good job of showing you when the attack is parriable(?), because there's never actually a physical connection between the player model and the attack. It's 80% cutscenes, like a SEGA CD FMV game. That kind of needs to stop if this is the direction they're headed. You can script a lot in a boss fight, but you also need it to be more dynamic than this.

A- What's your point? B- It's also the most fun tower. C- Get good loser.

Nah, the easiest tower has to be the wall climb one.

Your point doesn’t stand since A-everybody beaten it and I also did and it’s great B-not really ‘there isn’t much difference between the towers difficulty other then maybe the cyloop section which wasn’t much C-once you enter the another story you automatically unlock the spin dash whether you unlocked before or not ‘and even so you don’t really need the spin dash you can change the jump decceleration and you’re fine

@@LobotomyTC My point is, you already know what to do! You have it memorized which means the idea that the DLC is too hard still stands because this isn't your first time trying it. The difficulty of the DLC on these on towers comes from the fact you don't know what's coming and any mistake has the chance to take you straight to the bottom and forces you to start over. Not everyone (such as myself) has the precious time necessary to waste hours of my life. Beating an unnecessarily hard DLC to a god damn kids' game. Which makes me wonder... How the hell are kids meant to do this!?

@@2ndspringtube708 Nowhere in the DLC does it tell you, that you now have the spindash unlocked. I didn't know that so I doubt the casual player would. (Unless I missed something which I might have since I had very little time to play the DLC and had to rush my way through it.)

This is normal. Taking your time is abnormal.

The Perfect Parry was a stupid choice to introduce at the end of the game like that. I was already used to it due to some of the combat mods, but I'm sure that threw most people off.

@@LobotomyTC Yeah, like, "You're now Super Sonic 2! Your parry is upgraded to the Perfect Parry which can turn attacks around!" meanwhile you can't use your normal parry anymore so it's not a buff, it's a direct nerf

It's only the boss rush and final boss. The rest of the game is git gud. 99% of the platforming is your fault.

@@LobotomyTC The platforming with sonic is trash, you can't lower your speed for platforming designed not to use the max ring/max level speed boost, and they require you use the broken spindash that controls horribly, also the cyberspace levels, especially the one based on white forrest, suck, that one in particular drops the platforms before you can even land on them and really exemplifies the big problem with just copy pasting non-boost level design to a boost game, the honey highway one is almost just as bad, all the sonic sections in the dlc are garbage and unfair and no amount of "get good" changes how objectively bad the design is, the snake trial literally requires you abuse a flaw in the combat system

@@Eevee860Hey, you're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with most of them (save for one really important one, which is cyberspace). As far as I can tell, the new Cyberspace stages don't even have the same physics model that the base game used. You're right, though, in cyberspace, specifically, your midair control is fucking dumb. It would be *okay* if that's how the whole game played, because it would at least be consistent. But that lack of consistency is the problem. Super disagree with your spindash take. That being said, I had absolutely 0 problems with any cyberspace stage in the update. Once you're used to it, it's fine. Those levels aren't perfect, a lot of them aren't even good, but if you can't beat them, well, git gud skill issue etc. They really aren't that hard, even if a handful are frustrating. The Open Zone Physics are 10/10 though and you can't change my mind on that. EDIT: Decided to be less rude. I need to catch myself when I'm a dick for no reason.

Nah, I'm just gonna keep unapologetically unfairly showcasing all the stuff I like and mock people for complaining about the shitty parts for two reasons. 1. Sonic Twitter is full of 50 IQ vegetables who are attacking my husband Morio Kishimoto by bombing his LinkedIn and I want those people seething, coping, malding, and toasterbathing every single day. 2. there is no 2 For real, this is not serious at all, don't be mad on the internet, unless you're Sonic Twitter.

@@LobotomyTC yeah you've got a point. Think I was just blinded by my rage at the snake trial. Have a good day
