Best Friends Play Freedom Planet (Part 6)

[@09spidy]

"This is way better than my girlfriend" ~ Liam's Review of Freedom Planet

[@PolarPhantom]

Spiderous I hope that gets on the box.

[@majorgnu]

~ Liam's Review of his Girlfriend

[@ToastyMozart]

Incidentally, the devs actually made it so you can attack the eye when there are still a handful of red orbs on it's back. They knew having to get _all_ of them would be frustrating. Also worth noting: the SHMUP dragons hitbox is mostly just the itty-bitty Lilac on its head. Since the rest is a hologram plus a little laser-firing robot.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

ToastyMozart the funniest thing about that is that they finally have a shmup with an explaination for why the hitbox is so much smaller than the sprite.

[@ToastyMozart]

PsylomeAlpha And it actually has a visual indicator of where said hitbox is, rather than "some area in the middle"

[@majorgnu]

ToastyMozart Touhou has had a visual indication of the hitbox since 7 in 2003. It's really helpful.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

Major Gnuisance alright, that's ONE bullet hell series other than this one.

[@majorgnu]

PsylomeAlpha To my knowledge, there's also (at least) Deathsmiles, Mushihimesama and Castle of Shikigami. It may still appear to be located in a somewhat arbitrary point - the center of the sprite - but a visual indication of its location goes a long way. In any case, anything is better than a sprite-based pixel collision test. Those can be murder-rage-inducing.

[@Thorrison]

...Lilac said she's a dragon. Multiple times. Guys pls.

[@hoaxslayer4244]

Carol also introduced herself as a wildcat.

[@LessDevoid]

He also just notices Carol isn't a fucking lizard. Has he even been there when Liam was playing? Maybe Shitlocks just phoned it all in over Skype until this episode.

[@Genis94]

You guys only just realized that Lilac is a dragon? ALL of the dialogue didn't clue you in? "I've got a motorcycle and Lilac's a dragon! They're like, super fast!" - Carol at the cutscene before Relic Maze. "What's special about them compared to, you know, someone like Lilac?" - Torque asking Zhao about his dragon statue. "Remember the last time you messed with a dragon?! Let him go!" - Lilac after Thermal Base. "There are two ways we can do this, dragon. And you're only conscious in one of them." - Neera, also after Thermal Base. Beginning to think you guys aren't paying attention to the dialogue...

[@AurorosOsprey]

Genis94 To be fair, I don't think they ever do. Too busy being ultra hype for everything else, I spose. A fair point, but the little horns on her head should have at least given a clue. Then again, Woolz thought Carol was a lizard of all things XD

[@giveuntocaesar5324]

Genis94 To be fair, i also spend most of the game trying to forget the dialogue. The less time spent on the story and the more on the game, the better.

[@ShinoSarna]

Richard Sun Jesus christ, the story is part of the stylisation. It's meant to feel like a 90's cartoon.

[@giveuntocaesar5324]

shinobody So? I wouldn't call it a parody because it's clearly straightfaced at many points, so then its an attempt to ape 90's style, but it instead comes off as bad fanfic. A fault that can oft be attributed to the dialogue. At no point am i sitting here thinking, "oh man, this is so 90's," as those 90's themes are often muddled by delivery and dialogue, and instead i am left thinking "oh man, this is bad" There are good 90's cartoons and bad ones. And regardless of which this one is aping, its delivery is such that it just feels poorly written than paying homage or parodying. Sylization is not necessairly a "get-out-of-jail free card," as effort must still be put into goiod delivery. I daresay, this was not.

[@DeltaD36]

To be fair, i wasn't clued in until I read the comments. I always thought she was a cat becuase she reminds me of Blaze.

[@yoursonisold8743]

"This game is better than my girlfriend." - Liam 2015

[@nelsonfastige9071]

The best part is it doesn't even have to be taken out of context

[@Lee1995S]

Yourson Isold Liam has a girlfriend? I thought he was still under house arrest.

[@yoursonisold8743]

***** Nobody said she was allowed to leave his appartment.

[@powerup931]

Confirmed Liam would rather have Freedom Planet as his girlfriend

[@Sperium3000]

Her shoryuken is a literal shoryuken because she's a dragon.

[@AstralMuffin105]

Sperium3000 I didn't even think about that until you said it. That's pretty awesome.

[@ChrisBabaganoosh]

"This is like a Seven Force form as well." Someone is about to paint the walls with jizz on an upcoming boss.

[@Sperium3000]

"She's a dragon? It wasn't clear" They called her a dragon in the game like 10 times already. If you can unravel Bloodborne's plot while playing, you can pay a tiny little shred of attention to this.

[@Javaa01]

Sperium3000 Well, it must also be stated that they were playing Snailborne, with this game it's really a case of "2 Fast 2 Hype" So when cut-scenes happen they use that time to get a bearing on what the hell just happened.

[@Resstarr]

Sperium3000 Woolie also thinks that Carol is lizard and one point thought Torque was Prince Dail.

[@MinibossMakaque]

Sperium3000 To be fair, They're paying about as much attention to the plot as one normally would, were this actually a sonic game.

[@InchonDM]

Sperium3000 She doesn't really look anything like one, to be fair. I mean, Knuckles doesn't look jack shit like an echidna either, so.

[@thecrazybunny5667]

InchonDM Indeed she doesn't look like a Dragon...not your typical dragon that is. Yeah...they're so many different kinds of Dragons in mythology, media and more... Dragons vary in appearances which make senses why Lilac doesn't look like a Dragon for she's something else. If you want to know what kind of Dragon Lilac is, she's a water dragon. In the game, when you first encounter Torque without his disguise (Shellduck), Lilac talks about her ancestors and all which suggests she's not your typical dragon and may be part dragon or some sort. What I recently learned about Lilac is that she can breath the longest in the game and can swim faster then anyone else which is cool. (I also read on the Steam forums that she may be a Water Eastern Dragon as well which is interesting.) So there's that but I understand what you mean on Lilac not looking at all like a Dragon as she originally, in her original 2006 artwork, was a hedgehog but was changed into a dragon during development of Freedom Planet which is why you may see the similarity of Sonic OCs and all haha. All very interesting stuff I gotta say...anyways thanks for reading dude and y''all. Stay awesome and see ya! Oh and your welcome. =)

[@DJDadJoke]

It's nice to see you two genuinely having fun with a game. It's kind of like watching little kids open up Christmas presents.

[@MoonLily91]

That arrow in the pillar once had a message that said "Next time I won't miss"

[@sacrabalicVODS]

Wait! How did they just realize she's a Dragon? They say it in part one. In fact I think it's been mentioned, In Every. Single. Part! There was an entire dialogue sequence dedicated to the history of her people! Their ability to ignore the plot is as fascinating as it is impressive. That said, loving the playthrough guys, good job!

[@AstralMuffin105]

***** Woolie also completely missed the part where Carol introduced herself as a wildcat too. xD

[@sacrabalicVODS]

AstralMuffin105 Yeah, I noticed. That's a bit more forgivable though, because I only remember it being brought up once or twice, and they didn't talk about the history of her people.

[@pyrix]

***** their*

[@sacrabalicVODS]

pyrix Oops. Fixed.

[@soulreaverable]

19:38 Liam chooses Freedom Planet over sex

[@MelBrooksKA]

Christian Alfaro This isn't the first instance of this situation happening

[@trentnomads194]

Holy shit you guys COMPLETELY missed the gimmick of the dragon fight. You're supposed to chain your air dash through all the rings but you guys never realized

[@Thorrison]

trentnomads194 Yeah, that's the coolest part of the whole thing. Especially if you pull off running up one of the side walls, dashing through the loop, and chaining it all the way across the stage.

[@dvillegas]

trentnomads194 the fun part of it is that woolie describe that exact same mechanic in the previous part and said he hope to see it on the next boss fight

[@milovich1057]

***** Worlds have crossed. So does that mean GG X TBFP is going to happen?

[@flashman7b]

trentnomads194 Woah, I've played this game twice through as Lilac and I never knew o_0

[@PolarPhantom]

Diego Villegas The "final" boss was his prediction, which just makes the whole thing funnier.

[@lugialover09]

I appreciate that Woolie said "Cyborg 17" and not "Android."

[@luedog4life]

Piccolo: We just call them androids. Cell: Well good for you, you're wrong.

[@SkyCE9A]

Yeah, that always bugged me about DBZ. They're remodeled humans. So, I just call them kaizo ningen, because I'm used to that from Kamen Rider.

[@majorgnu]

To be fair, they're numbered as part of a line of actual Androids.

[@bigbakaboon]

lugialover09 They are androids by definitions. An android is a robot made to look or at least resemble human. A cyborg is an organic creature with some/most machine parts.

[@SkyCE9A]

bigbakaboon Umm...you realize that 17 and 18 are human twins that were abducted and had their bodies modified with mechanical parts. They are not all mechanical, they are still very much part human.

[@Kektus1]

As a guy who doesn't like the formula and fast pace of a Sonic game in the slightest, Freedom Planet's so fantastic it actually makes me want to play it. That's impressive. EDIT: Liam, dash UPWARD. *UPWARD.*

[@JeedyJay]

Qwazzy I don't think you can dash straight upwards, but he might benefit from doing it at an upward angle.

[@ToastyMozart]

Qwazzy It's got a demo version on their website. And I think GOG has it on sale for about six bucks

[@Wingless-]

Freedom Planet and Shovel Knight need to become the new Sonic and Mario.

[@PolarPhantom]

Joel Cameron And they should participate in the Commonwealth Games.

[@slifer875]

Joel Cameron they need to be in smash

[@majorgnu]

slifer875 Someone should make a fighter with indie game characters. I can see it already... _Lilac and Shovel Knight confirmed for Scuffle Siblings!_

[@michaelkemel9711]

Joel Cameron More like the new Sonic and the new Megaman/Castlevania

[@michaelkemel9711]

Major Gnuisance I had a similar thought. I also see characters like Steve (the Minecraft guy), Shantae, Beck from Mighty No. 9, Quote from Cave Story, and so on.

[@whynotska]

The thing is that you can tell the love and care the devs really put into this game, and thats really something. It has a genuine feel to it, not that it's trying to replicate a feel but the actual feel. also, throughout this journey my perception of furries (?) have changed 180. Anthropomorphic animals are awesome, it should totally be more of a thing!

[@Kektus1]

They did so well with it that it's almost impossible not to feel good just watching it - let alone playing it.

[@mikkolovesgaming1723]

Skaraku Like I mentioned in a previous vids' comments, if we let other peoples' turn-ons dictate what we can or cannot enjoy, then we can pretty much admit to liking nothing and terrorism has won. lol

[@whynotska]

Qwazzy It is really puzzling how almost no one was talking about this game!

[@whynotska]

MikkoLovesGaming agreed!

[@TheJaranggigi]

Skaraku "Anthropomorphic animals are awesome, it should totally be more of a thing!" This game is a perfect example of why Furries became a thing in the first place. After all the bad fanfiction, bad porn, and worse games it's easy to forget that there was a time when Sonic and pals were legitimately cool.

[@CaliberStone]

Does anyone remember, "Dust: An Elysian Tail"? That game was 2D platormer, action-adventury, and inhabited only by anthropomorphic creatures. It was still a really solid game. I feel like people see athros and are immediately turned off because of what the internet has turned them into. I grew up watching Don Bluth movies, so I always was completely fine with the style, but some people never even give them a chance.

[@swagtasticpanda]

Yea. I know what you mean. The internet is full of perverts though. :(

[@TheMaleLilligant]

CaliberStone People mourn in despair for a lack of starfox, but heckle at the sight of any other unpopular game with anthros.

[@CaliberStone]

TheMaleLilligant That's very true. I never really thought of it like that, but you're right.

[@AstralMuffin105]

CaliberStone I remember Dust. To this day, Fidget is still one of my favorite sidekick characters in anything.

[@AlexiJameson]

CaliberStone I tried to get into it and failed. It wasn't the anthropomorphic characters. I just didn't particularly care for either the play or art-style enough to continue it til the end.

[@akathesk]

This dragon boss fucked me up hard. But you know what? I enjoyed every minute of it and made the win all the more sweeter.

[@badwolfdubOfficial]

The boss took me +30 min to beat. Had no idea you could hit the eye when it starts glowing. But beating it was SO FUCKING SATISFYING...

[@majorgnu]

Ej Puente It's practically a beefed up version of the first stage's robot snake boss: you have to pop the all of the body balls and then hit the head for the kill.

[@megahellreaper]

Liam and Wooly have been so busy praising the game, they weren't even paying attention to the story. I mean, it was mentioned lilac was a dragon like, ten times already.

[@MARPOLO13]

Geez guys they said at the beginning exactly what animals they all are and I'm pretty sure they even said she was a dragon like 3 times.

[@furyberserk]

"The abhorrent sounds of Woolie constantly loosing his shit" the LP

[@PolarPhantom]

I can't believe Milla manages to be as endearing as she is without falling into moe irritability.

[@chriscos123]

PolarPhantom How can you be irritated by THAT face :3

[@PsylomeAlpha]

PolarPhantom I think it's because they were writing a character that actively tries not to be annoying, and by happenstance looks and acts cute in the process, instead of the more common attempt to make a character that's cute and in their over-attempt to be cute they become annoying.

[@Bhazor]

This is the sound of true love making. "This game is better than my girlfriend" - Liam

[@AbadonXXX]

XD Milla with that +5 height assist is too cute

[@PowerKlaw]

They just now realize Lilac is a dragon. Multiple characters throughout the story have mentioned that already.

[@brandonjslea1562]

"3 days later" "shes a dragon?" "I though she was a lizard" *facewall*

[@jomega_gaming]

I'm positive this isn't the first time they've said she's a dragon.

[@purrfectwaffle8621]

Woolie: "Thats not Earth." Me: "No its... Freedom Planet." :-D

[@Tearonex]

Every single time I come back to this game, I'm dumbfounded at how great it is and how it wasn't screamed about by everyone....

[@ZanzibarJunker]

Can you guys do an LP of Snatcher or is Konami gonna just shit in everyones' cornflakes?

[@supergoron1]

***** I'm still waiting on Pat's LP of Rocket Knight.

[@razr9000]

super goron I kinda want him to do a solo LP of that game

[@razr9000]

***** Oh yeah, I remember that. Shame tho, would've been interesting.

[@Nonymous21]

Sonic just appears, “It was me Lilac, it was me all along!”

[@TheBunko]

"This is just non-stop and it's getting more intense!" Yep. Yep.

[@slifer875]

Andrew Adshead yeahyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeah!

[@Chadius]

Andrew Adshead Nep Nep

[@kaijuemperor]

I love how they just realized shes a dragon,when they've been saying shes a dragon since the beginning. Way to pay attention guys.

[@bioforce5]

I feel like Woolie and Liam missed the true beauty of the dragon fight. If you start on one side, dash straight through one of the rings and keep going at that same height, you will hit every ring and dash across the entire arena. Once you hit the wall, its curved and circles you back the other direction. Basically, you have infinite spin dash and fly around with Lilac as a "real" dragon going head to head with this other real dragon.

[@farstox4656]

"This is way better than my girlfriend." Liam, 2015, ARCHIVE IT

[@Halo3Shinobi]

This games looks so good. The Music, the sprites, the STORY, its not an original, and many would see many flaws with it, but it's a work of art goes, it varies from person to person, but to me it is a a master piece. To me it is simply a good game that I haven't played in a long time, therefore it gives me great joy that video games like these can still be produced, rather Master pieces for the world to enjoy, and BestFriends does a fantastic job at expressing my opinion of this work of art. But this episode defiantly showed the awesome factor of this game, I hope many can still flourish for many... MANY years to come. Love you guys keep up the great work, thumbs up.

[@Arbiter-0]

This game is too cool.

[@GnollFool]

This makes me genuinely upset over what Sonic has become. Thank you for allowing me to experience what should have been, Freedom Planet.

[@InflammabilityRing]

New viewer, here - I was reluctant to check out the series because of the association with machinima but both your commentary and your gameplay are outstanding! I got the game a week or so after it launched on steam and I'm so excited to see you guys enjoying such an underrated game, maybe the added exposure will help the game to get the recognition it deserves.

[@lemeres2478]

AHH THEY JUST REALIZED SHE IS A DRAGON! I thought they knew and just accepted it, but no, they also think she doesn't look like one. I got into an argument with a dev about this- the dev defended himself saying 'you are thinking of western dragon, this is a chinese ones'....even though she has the ram like horns of a western dragon (chinese tend to have antlers) and they claimed that the hair things were the tendrils (which should, rightly be a GLORIOUS MUSTACHE) Just picking a different color palate for the horns and tendrils would have made this so much more clear. The horns look like cat ears in a sonic-esque artstyle, and the tendrils are the same color as her hair. Just making them blue would have solved almost everything. It doesn't help that her actual ears are hidden behind headphones, which keeps you from immediately noticing this problem.

[@inferno232]

Lemeres Shit, those were horns? I didn't even think about that.

[@lemeres2478]

SageOfTheWest EXACTLY You can't tell they are horns unless you take a close look at character portraits, where there is a VERY SUBTLE ridging. In the sprite, it is near impossible to actually tell from the horns themselves. I can forgive the fact that she looks mammalian because she is a distant descendant crossbred with the locals...but still it would have been much more clear with antlers or a different color (like blue- blue would have worked with the color scheme)

[@chriscos123]

Lemeres You know what would also be beneficial? If they told you what she was within the first 5 minutes of the game.

[@lemeres2478]

chriscos123 They certainly did not seem to put much weight on the fact that dragons are a big mythical forerunner race wtih huge powers, and that only some halfbreeds with thin blood are left. It wasn't until the end that you realize that dragons are anything more than just a regular demographic with a bit of a 'true scottsman' attitude. Maybe have her praying at a dragon temple or some shit. I know the fact that they are aliens with super technology is supposed to be a big reveal... but that carries no weight since we barely even knew dragons were a 'thing' at all until the hologram and the people bowing down to the boss character.

[@chriscos123]

Lemeres I mean the technology in this world is bat shit bi-polar anyways since they're using swords and samarui armor, yet are clearly in possssion of hover-crafts, television sets, phones, and giant fecking trucks. And massive bows and arrows apparently.

[@malcolmlovett3]

Y'know, for a first attempt at a game, this is pretty good.

[@Rivalinfantry]

This is a boss, this is a boss right here. It's turns out to be a freaking miniboss.

[@Jackelbeaver]

I really hope they do all 3 characters. this is the most hype playthrough on the channel right now!

[@NurseValentineSG]

GODDAMN THIS GAME HAS SO MUCH FREEDOM I CAN'T TAKE IT.

[@TimelordPete]

but the red army led by the not-shaded fox has samurai armour as well as eating sushi earlier. so is it not that their city/kingdom is 'japan' and the panda, his army and their kingdom is 'china', perhaps making the fighting in this episode make more sense. instead of 'chinaland' as Liam not-so-delicately phrased it.

[@ajvark]

***** Pretty sure that's a red panda. Just makes more sense thematically.

[@JeedyJay]

***** All the factions/cities have Chinese names. I think they're going for an Avatar aesthetic.

[@ajvark]

Jeedy Jay Avatar wasn't just Chinese. Earth was Chinese, but Fire was Japanese, Water was Siberia/Inuit, and Air was Tibet/Nepal.

[@flashman7b]

Vark The Vark Speaking of elements and the Chinese theme of this game, here's a random fact about this game. The shields in this game are fire, water, earth, wood, and steel. These are the classic elements in some ancient Chinese philosophies.

[@Mantis47]

***** Classic chinese armor can be pretty similar to samurai armor, doesn't mean they have to be samurais. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b1/35/b3/b135b3bf41019e8e6c8bd2e60cecacda.jpg Pretty much the entire setting is based on Chinese traditions, folklore, language and everything. Also, the Chinese invented sushi, the Japanese just loved it and took it into their own culture.

[@IDyce88]

the shields are: Fire shield (red, protects u from fire), water shield (blue, breathe underwater), damage shield (silver, protects u from spikes and some attacks), magnet (yellow, draws in blue crystals), rainbow shield (immortality), green shield (draws in health and blue crystals...i think). i'm not 100% about all those but i think that is all of them. BTW the Green ship you love the design of...it is called the Absolution, it's Lord Brevon's personal ship.

[@jomi7503]

HOW DID YOU GUYS MISS THE PART WHERE SHE SCREAMED "DONT YOU REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU MESSED WITH A DRAGON?" come on guyssssssss LISSTTEEEEEN xD

[@LessDevoid]

"It's not clear what sort of animal she is." - Woolie, 2015 I know, right? She hasn't said she's a dragon numerous times now, right? Woolie confirmed for being deaf.

[@MintJammer]

"This is beyond any Treasure and Genesis boss" HOLD UP RIGHT THERE. SEE ME AFTER CLASS. PLAY ASTRO BOY OMEGA FACTOR, DYNAMITE HEADDY, AND EITHER/BOTH SIN AND PUNISHMENTS ASAP. Also there's the whole fact that resolution size would be literally impossible to do back then.

[@Arrowdodger]

SenpaiSamaKun Well that's why it's beyond, since this is a scale they simply couldn't do back then

[@MintJammer]

Arrowdodger Oh I know, but still. The introduction with the eye is FANTASTIC, but that's an extremely strong word to use even when you mean literally in size. Might as well say it's up there with WolfGunBlood and Seven Force. I also want them to play those games anyway. More people need to see how much work goes into stuff like The World's Strongest end of Astro Boy and basically everything in Dynamite Headdy.

[@kpxtreame]

Arrowdodger Well sin and punishment 2 is DEFINITELY an exception to that.

[@viliger]

Arrowdodger This game's actual resolution is 240p, just widescreen. It upscales to 1080p via ingame option for screensize. If you make it 4:3 it could be easily 320x240 and if you lower some of the effects you can probably make it into Saturn game. That's how dedicated they are to the old school feel. And that's the way all old school games should do it.

[@AurorosOsprey]

Oh maaaan, they're getting to the home stretch! IT'S GETTIN' SUPER HYPE! Gonna be fighting some crazy ass bosses from here on out! I so hope they give Carol and maybe Milla a try later on. Carol's Chun Li kicks are the best thing ever, she's like some kind of crazy leaping berserker if you figure her out, and thats without the crazy sick bike she has.

[@ThisMagello]

Actually there's nothing wrong with how Aldnoah Zero did it. Lasers are point to point, they don't have arcs. It's impossible for them to be fired from behind something and have it drop down onto a position. Kinetic rounds deal with this. This makes them harder to fire over extreme distances due to dealing with factors like air resistance and gravity, but it means that they're more tactically flexible. Now, the ranges in Aldnoah Zero are unreasonable, being as if I remember correctly things are concealed beyond the horizon usually at around two hundred odd miles if they're about mountain sized to the naked eye and artillery guns don't normally exceed 100km in range, given future tech and Naval railgun developments that are expected to put kinetic rounds down accurately at ranges of several hundred miles, it's entirely possible to do so. After all, militaries have been using beyond the horizon fighting for decades. See WWII Pacific Naval battles. That's why Navy Aviation got so big. go navy woo

[@vincenzopaollogrieco9385]

"Liam stop gun jumping! this fucking kid" says Pat

[@fabiohaha123]

They called her a dragon like 5 times already!

[@professorBofFPU]

Guys, they clearly said in a cutscene that Lilac was a dragon.

[@Draecon666]

I never thought I'd see a Falcore Gradius game, but here comes fucking Freedom Planet!

[@Ultimaniacx4]

Kingdom Hearts has some good slowdown on every boss win. It's pretty much everything Woolie keeps saying is awesome. You strike the final hit, the screen flashes white, the scene slows down, the camera keeps changing angle and the boss says their death quote.

[@Chadius]

Ultimaniac Even better when you nail them with a sick combo finisher.

[@DashFennec]

h my god I REALLY WANT WOOLIE TO DO THE CAROL STORY AFTER THIS DX she plays so different and it would be his chance to experience the Carol hype!

[@noraunhappy]

"It's not clear what kind of animal she is". Did Carol not literally say at one point something to the effect of "Lilac is a dragon, so she's super fast"?

[@ZeR0creations]

Love how liam just spazzes out during the octopus boss fight. What a chump

[@ViroVeteruscy]

Love this play through, glad to see the fun shine ^w^

[@Bobsomeone]

This might be my favorite LP you guys have done. Probably not but it's way up there.

[@cactuschef3]

i'm half convinced this is going to turn out to be frog fractions 2

[@CommonKTD]

You know I don't really follow these guys I caught a few of their videos out of looking for games I just wanted to see like Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks was the first time I ever watched their videos, and then somehow fell down the yakuza 4 play through rabbit hole. I know I caught some other stuff here and there but I can't think of it. Anyways I don't ever feel the need to comment but I love this game soo much, and I love that they love it because I felt the same way about how underappreciated it is. I'm glad to see someone else finds this as enjoyable as I do. Also they just beat the boss that stopped me from playing for months because I never tried looking for the pattern, I just rushed it every time. Now I have to beat this boss so j can continue watching because I don't want to watch ahead of where I'm at.

[@MrCaneron]

19:21 Ty the Tasmanian Tiger had you do that.

[@TheMaleLilligant]

MrCaneron Oh yeah! That weird pseudo-anthro warthog thing.

[@Hyper_Drud]

I never got past the part after getting the fire rangs in the first game.

[@FullmetalSonic260]

I really want to see these guys play Sonic Before the Sequel and Sonic After the Sequel!

[@Nagoshichao]

I'm curious how they are going to react to the next wave of stages after Battle Glacier. Probably my favorite set of stages are the last 4. Some of the best music, Brevon really playing it up and showing he is up there as a character you should legitimately be intimidated by, just.... everything. The amount of love the devs put into this game really shows. Its a top notch game and anyone remotely interested in action platformers should pick it up or at least play the demo. I've put 60 hours into this fucking game and it was my personal GOTY 2014. Cannot wait for the DLC thats coming soon either.

[@VinceMouse]

Fun thing to point out: the armies use Red, Green, and Blue as their major signifiers of alliance, so it's kinda like Dynasty Warriors is going on in the background while you're playing Sonic.

[@jdg1995887]

You can see Woolie's '20/20' vision really coming into play here. Woolie: "... I just now noticed that Carol is not a lizard..." Liam: "No, she's a cat thing." Woolie: "I thought she was a lizard the whole time. I completely ignored the tail, and it moves..." Liam: "Yeah, all over the place..." Christ.

[@Masamune_Shadow]

OK fuck it. I pirated this game, but this shit is too legit. Just bought the game and the DLC Soundtrack. Shit like this deserves reward. A fucking Plus.

[@AppleWoods6]

While they were trying to get that last red orb, I was just like, "GET HIS FREAKING EYE!" before they figured it out right before Lilac died...I mean come on, I got that the first time I beat this boss...

[@ACuteKitty101]

As per an earlier comment on i believe part 3, I looked up Paheal and Freedom Planet DeviantArt just out of curiosity; I can never look at the characters the same way anymore.

[@michaellacy5923]

Weird-ass example of a 3D game with good slowdown: that King Kong game, the Xbox 360 launch title. I need to see Matt play it and body-check a T-Rex this week.

[@Kamapixel]

I'm more impressed by this game as it goes along.

[@KGhaleon]

These guys have no fucking idea how intense this shit gets, just finished this game last night. Damn that final area drained me. D:

[@XerKoro_neo]

Hear steamed hams joke... Wait WHAT? how many years has it been since that joke really started??? Geez time passes

[@geckowonderful]

That last boss was like the machete guy outside of woolie's window. He's comin back.

[@SpeedTiberius]

Everything in this game looks like something I drew in my notebook when I was 8. I mean that in the best possible way

[@PsylomeAlpha]

William Rearick it's the shit you wanted to draw, not the shit that actually came out of the pencil. am I on the right track?

[@SpeedTiberius]

PsylomeAlpha Yeah, it's just perfectly aligned with what my aesthetic sensibilities were, from the funny animals (NOT furries) to the angles on the robots

[@MrJohnnyDanja]

I love hearing Woolie and Liam marking out. LMAO

[@SinHurr]

First time you meet Milla she goes, "ooh, are you a dragon? Can I touch your hair?"

[@ZacPricener]

@18:45, when Woolie starts making that sound, that's not sound of him clapping his hands...

[@AKAProm]

More freedom! More Planet! More Freedom Planet! It's too hype to stop!

[@Hoonters-goona-Hoont]

"We usually just play whatever fucking drek's in front of us. " Liam confirmed for chummer? Wiz.

[@majix101]

HOONTERS GONNA HOONT mo' nuyen, mo' problem

[@JeedyJay]

HOONTERS GONNA HOONT Drek basically means "shit." I think it's a Jewish thing, like schmuck.

[@kribblton]

Jeedy Jay It's "Dreck". It's german for "dirt".

[@Hoonters-goona-Hoont]

I know I know, I am German, But it's also used in the Shadowrun universe, and I've never heard it used by english folks in any other context, thus wish fulfillment dictates that Liam must like Shadowrun, and not just have used some weird British-Canadism (Or Jiddish).

[@Thorrison]

That whole stretch, I was saying, "Liam, just hit the eye... just hit the flashing eye. Hit the eye. Hit it. The eye."

[@Harotham]

They've said she's a dragon several times in the game, guys...

[@AcroxShadow]

The main reason this game is kinda off the radar is the fact they were in dev around the same time, and got released about 2 months after Shovel Knight, and it completely got overshadowed as a result.

[@JoseRS1186]

This...is the Robo Robotnik fight from Sonic 2! This is Awesooooome!!

[@MagoDSnowman]

Woolie is the Jurassic beast of this game.

[@N7S21813634]

"It's not clear what kind of animal she is." - Woolie Oh. My. Fucking. God.

[@Grimshuck]

_This is way better than my girlfriend._ Damn Liam, I hope for your sake Laura doesn't watch these LPs.

[@doubleberger5983]

This looks like if Sonic was made by Platinum

[@KnifeyMcEdge]

Woolie's 20/20 vision is hard at work again. Lilac is a "I don't know" and Carol is "not a lizard because I was ignoring the tail"...

[@prime__name5715]

So, does this mean that Lilac is a Super Alien Dragon? Because if so...well... That just makes her super more cool

[@barrosc5321]

As woolie paints my innards with his hot seed, I hear him whisper. "Aw ye ye ye"

[@GrandChaseHotStuven]

THE GAME THAT NEVER STOPS DELIVERING

[@brokensights]

This let's play is brought to you by HARD NIPPLES. Only a flick away will make your wishes stay!

[@Zadamanim]

Some people might not know about what slow down is, and I don't see anyone explaining, so here ya go. In old console games like Sonic the Hedgehog, when a lot of action takes place, the game slows down. It's kind of how in newer games you get lower framerates, but since those older games were calculated frame-by-frame, it made the entire game go into slow motion. It was sort of a "bad" thing, but it also makes more difficult moments in the game (having more enemies on screen) go slower, so it feels more epic. Clever developers were clever. Fun fact: Ninja Gaiden 2 for the Xbox 360 had the game intentionally slow down during an epic climb up a ziggurat in hell, while you are being attacked by an inordinately large number of ninjas.

[@Jadeking07]

i gotta know what is the ballistics vs. lazer scene there talking bout at 25:55

[@kruaser123]

Well the gauntlet has been thrown down Platinum! If is Scalebound does not have a moment cooler than this 18:43 then there is no hope for humanity.

[@Kamapixel]

Yeah I think I'm gonna buy this game. I may not get around to playing it anytime soon, but they deserve the money for creating the best Sonic game/Genesis love letter in years lol
