'"BetterSADX, WorseLP" | Sonic Adventure' Let's Play - Part 1

Right off the heels of our Sonic Adventure 3 Let's Play, FTCR is back with a playthrough of Sonic Adventure DX on Steam (with the BetterSADX mod for good measure), with most of the scenes in a roughly chronological order once again.
In this first part, MykonosFan, FTA, Smoovies, and Miwa all wonder where life went wrong. (This also applies in every part.) #FTCR

00:35 "You were made in Japan, this was made in Japan, the perfect fit" My favourite memory of SADX is when Miwa collected the 7 Chaos Emeralds so she could turn into Super Miwa using the postive memes from the FTCR team.

[@CambriaBold]

"Miwa: Miwa." Miwa.

[@wormaheldharrier3122]

Aaron McCarthy Green Hill: Green Hill Green Hill

[@Hellscrap3r]

Just Miwa.

[@Galvajon]

Bob Dole: "Bob Dole."

[@shads4dadsgaming580]

Chemical Plant: Chemical Plant AND Death Egg: Death Egg

[@papershadow]

My favorite detail with the Emerald Coast intro is the long loading time he inserted. 06 really took EVERY detail from SADX.

[@PolarPhantom]

Oh, hey, an early look at Super Mario Odyssey! Nice. You guys are going places.

[@omaridaniels8427]

11:47- Nice. Glad we'll still be seeing some fun edits with this playthrough. Like '06, even though SA1 has been played to death, those edits are a good way to make a playthrough fresh.

[@Zejgar]

Fun fact, the original 2003 port of SADX on PC has shorter loading times than the 2011 Steam port. Incredibly advanced technologies, amirite lads

[@mspeter97]

Depends on the computer. I remember my trusty old HP media center thing taking a long time to load the game back in the days. Maybe it takes longer just for the hell of it?

[@jessetafel]

Me screaming RASHOMON at my screen 2:13

[@UnsafestPony81]

Does anyone know where the “I’m afraid of heights” came from? Every time they reference it I always crack up laughing.

[@DellStarX]

So no one else saw the other Chaos chillin' in the far left corner at 7:03?

[@SegaSky]

Dellon James It sounds like rendering cutscenes isn't that easy.

[@pingasluigi25]

Dellon James Guys am I goin' crazy or am I seein' double Chaos's?

[@d2rk__]

That's the actual Chaos boss model. The other model is removed when sonic comes I think, due to the resolution being extended with BetterSADX, you're able to see further.

[@Ardomew]

Time to Open Your Heart to another Sonic Adventure Let's Play! Woo! (I've still never played this game)

[@nicktoons125]

"Aw, yeah, this is happening!" I'm so excited for this FTCR & SA1 = AMAZING! Also I wish Tikal & Chaos were in more games.

[@ScatterbrainPete]

I don't think I watch FTCR often enough. Who's Miwa again?

[@lepurpleturban]

She's appeared in streams fairly regularly for ages

[@GoldStorm07]

Piotr Wojciechowski Smoovies' Japanese friend who probably has the darkest sense of humour of anyone related to FTCR.

[@diegomedina9637]

Never forget. Stairfax Tempertures.

[@papershadow]

I thought that was Kiyoko in the streams. Is it like a first name/last name thing, or does Smoovies just have more than one Japanese female friend with a snarky sense of humor?

[@GoldStorm07]

papershadow69 Kiyoko is a username, Miwa is her given name.

[@GoldStorm07]

Reasons SA2 is better than SA1: - Hunnid P - Gravity platforming mechanics 6 years before Mario made it functional - The final boss isn't a rip off of Biollante from Godzilla - You can make a Reala Chao to remind Shadow that he's unoriginal - In the original Dreamcast version, you can make Big the Cat beat the shit out of Tails - Chao in Space 2 was a huge improvement over the first movie

[@Speedymelon88]

GoldStorm07 How do you make the reals chao?

[@Speedymelon88]

*Reala

[@GoldStorm07]

William Meline Pure Flying chao with dark alignment.

[@papershadow]

I like how you listed you listed Gravity mechanics "before Mario made it functional". Non-fucntional mechanics are always a selling point for Sonic games. Wait, that might not be untrue actually...

[@Speedymelon88]

GoldStorm07 thanks

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

Ah, this game, So f*cking charming :D

[@Sjono]

Apparently the power of friendship was strong enough for Knuckles to give up his serious task of guarding the Master Emerald in later games

[@chrystalbeast96]

7:05 Did Chaos clone himself?

[@Hellscrap3r]

I squealed when I heard Miwa say "Hi" like friggin' Kirby at the beginning there.

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Can't we all just love both Adventure games equally?

[@Kuzamer]

English Giraffe No.

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Awww, but I enjoy both games on the same level. Heroes is still better than both Adventure games though

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Hitchhiker With Towel Okay, let me be more specific: I think Adventure 1 and 2 are better games than Heroes, but I find Heroes more consistent with its quality. But you wanna know what is the best Adventure game Sonic Rush Adventure and World Adventure

[@vinrockoginjocko6073]

English Giraffe high five!

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Flaming V "High five back"

[@ZapWires]

If you beat smash 4 on 9.0 by yourself without dying and have all challenges complete on leapday you get master chief.

[@sonicpower1750]

Loved the playthrough guys and wanted to make a compilation of the best moments of it and I was wandering if I could use these parts. And I will credit you guys and your channel thank you!

[@TheSnowQueen_369]

Go to 7:04 and look at the top left hand corner and there's a second Chaos model. I guess it was never supposed to be seen.

[@Hedgeman98]

i've played this game since 2004 but only now I noticed that Chaos 0 is there before the master emerald shattered which is weird since it is said that chaos is in the master emerald

[@Kimairan]

I can't handle this amount of widescreen.

[@KaiZenAmen]

THE BETTER SADX MOD IS AMAZING!

[@mspeter97]

Okay, I never saw this game run this good. I'm used to the 30fps cap of the DC version (even though it runs at 60 when you do the Twinkle Circuit part for whatever reason)

[@lordkaijux5262]

Does anyone else think that the Dreamcast version has better lighting and textures? Just me and Johnny? *OK*

[@poop-kh7ir]

Actually everybody thinks that

[@disgusted7187]

Watch cybershell's new video on sadx

[@in_light_in_me]

The dreamcast version has better everything

[@Mizu-X]

"HEY LONG TIME NO SEE"

[@TheDeadUnlucky]

it looks like eggman is giving the chaos emerald a high five @ the 19:23 mark

[@batofdestiny]

I've played this and I've played 2. And I have to say: THIS GAME IS MUCH BETTER, LIKE, how do people even argue that crap

[@StattStatt]

So... Why is Chaos standing in the upper left corner during 07:03?

[@JomaXZ]

Awwww... He didn't do the drunk Sonic glitch at the boss :/

[@MykonosFan]

sometimes you are too drunk irl to do drunk sonic glitches, #RIP

[@ShampooWow]

Cool video! I like it

[@Faapu]

More like... Sonic BADventure. Actually I don't mind this game.

[@williamwhite2568]

King Harkinian Sonic badvanture 2

[@linguicaguy]

William White Sonic Badventure 2 Bad-ttle

[@yagottobelievensomething2683]

King Harkinian that's like a JonTron joke

[@johnnyweissmuller5559]

Strange that they had Knuckles' cutscene first with Big's right after it.

[@SShaBazzz]

the fact that this is still one of the best sonic games is amazing. SA2 is still the best though.

[@jjc4924]

SA2 is overrated. SA1 is better because it has better gameplay ( except for Big's fishing gameplay ) better physics, better level design & better music. SA2 tooks away half of it and made it worst.

[@ZorroLocoStudios]

Lol, I'm getting DX wrestling videos in the sidebar.

[@TheKroglander]

so it's like smoovies movies again? the movies he took down

[@PixelTheRetro]

"Right off the heels of our Sonic Adventure 3 Let's Play" It's almost click-bait >w>

[@SShaBazzz]

PixeliseGame kingdom Hearts 3 is going to come out before sonic adventure 3 does.

[@MainMemory]

Good job using the best version of SADX. Too bad you don't have HUD scaling though.

[@Kuzamer]

*****​ I'd say the Dreamcast Edition Mod is the best.

[@MainMemory]

And it's okay to be wrong.

[@Kuzamer]

*****​ Glad you learned to cope with it, good buddy.

[@Speedymelon88]

MainMemory I love your character select mod it's so much fun

[@MainMemory]

That reminds me, why isn't this an all-Big LP? Worst LP ever.

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

Heroes had different tracks for sections of levels :)

[@AnotherStatsGuy]

SADX. I actually prefer the models of SADX, but the textures of the Dreamcast version. Love the gameplay for Sonic and Tails.

[@CHECKthisvid]

RASHOMON, CHRIS

[@Sonicfalcon16]

the mod doesnt seem to be doing anything. just look like dx to me right. no shadow effects

[@codfan1013]

I thought you said you finished the Sonic 06 Let's Play.

[@MykonosFan]

I don't recall that, but we did finish our #Sonic #Adventure #3 Let's Play.

[@codfan1013]

Ehm, it was called Sonic Adv3nture. I'll have you know we take Big the Cat seriously in the FTCR comment section.

[@Pinkanator]

I wonder if Miwa knows Pan Pizza's little sissssssssster Emily.

[@telekinesticman]

Ryan Drummond mmmm, so good. His direction is off a lot (well, all the characters are directed badly) but he is the Sonic voice to me. Roger is painful to listen to, honestly. Also, shame that the SADX PC mod for the Dreamcast textures and lighting hadn't released yet, because that mod is pretty awesome.

[@yeahmatt]

TelekinesticMan my favorite is Griffith post-06 tbh. but I agree when it comes to Roger, I don't like his Sonic voice.

[@Kuzamer]

+TelekinesticMan Correct opinion 👍

[@jacks.cosplay]

your father was right mykonosfan. you now make bad internet videos on KZbin because of video games. He was saving you from this fate dammit. lmao

[@smb-c3po]

Gareth, why did you leave HellfireComms?

[@caro__taro-96]

SA1 is the best adventure game. AND THEY PROVED IT WELL HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

[@frets3516]

Will there be memes?

[@Etch..]

Is that even a question?

[@GMaster4308]

Just so that everyone is up-to-date, the most recent update for Sonic Adventure DX added a completely unnecessary feature, that feature being that... well, you just can't play the game anymore. You just can't. It's still in there, but if you try to run it... nothing happpens. I guess the "definitive version of Sonic Adventure DX" is to... NOT play Sonic Adventure DX! Yaaaay...

[@Kuzamer]

Best 3D Sonic Game. -Fite me.-

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy Ehhh, I prefer Unleashed but Adventure 1 is still a great game though

[@SShaBazzz]

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy why would I fight you for being almost right. I put SA2 and hero's a little ahead but if you think it's the best, I can't argue, it's really freaking good.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Sonic Generations ;)

[@Kuzamer]

***** Lolnope

[@IsIAGeek]

I only play sonic's story in this game...

[@SShaBazzz]

IsIAGeek? you're missing out.

[@longanimals2463]

Really? I love Tails' story so so much

[@RandomGuy9188]

I flip-flop between which adventure game is better. SA1 has better music, but SA2 has better sonic levels

[@jjc4924]

RandomGuy9188 Adventure 1 is better than Adventure 2 in many way. Adventure 1 has better gameplay that Adventure 2 has ( except for Big's fishing gameplay ) better music & the writings aren't as bad as SA2 has.

[@americansabroad7474]

Oh god what is this?

[@sonicmalley]

Who is Miwa?

[@Azure70]

sonicmalley No idea. But whoever it is sounds scary.

[@CarozQH]

Sonic Adventure PC version? OH NO

[@mttylerdurden9]

so is this miwa a real person or one of the guys doing a voice?

[@SmooviesTV]

M.T.KaiserSoze Bro...

[@PaceBreaker]

Aw yeah! This is happenin'! Still regret not saying "yes" when my dad asked if I wanted a Dreamcast. So would've gotten the original game back then.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

ok wait some of it works im starting yo see it sorry

[@nexumine]

lol

[@swolradguy7170]

Better than SA2

[@jjc4924]

Agreed.

[@MultiVince95]

Nice

[@Vee_Astra]

The word you're looking for is Rashomon, named after a damn good movie by Akira Kurosawa.

[@pingasluigi25]

This game on the Dreamcast was the first video game I ever played. ...Still like SA2 a little more though, sorry lads.

[@Kuzamer]

NintenDex Get out.

[@pingasluigi25]

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy It's super close though, still love this game.

[@d2rk__]

i don't get the sa2 vs sa1 rant, they're both pretty good games

[@jjc4924]

SA2 is overrated.

[@JelloPotate]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YIS

[@jjc4924]

Still better than Adventure 2.

[@scottjohnevans97]

23.20

[@Veolynn13]

10:15 Woah there, don't give yourself too much credit; y'all ain't furries. You're something far more pitiful: a non-furry sonic fan 😔😔😔

[@Smellbringer]

If it were honest, wouldn't better SADX just boot up Sonic Adventure 2 instead?

[@swolradguy7170]

Can we get another FTCR smoovies play through of another bad sonic game like... SA2. Come at me shitlords

[@diegomedina9637]

Nah, bring the ultimate shit show, Lets go to secret rings and the big the cat fanfic.

[@vinrockoginjocko6073]

This looks worse than the original SADX

[@Kuzamer]

Flaming V The Dreamcast Conversion Mod is 👌👌👌

[@greninjastorm6734]

This may be because I grew up with games on the PS2 and Wii(I had Secret Rings, SUCK IT!), but I really think SA1's graphics are TERRIBLE. The only GameCube Sonic game I played was Heroes at a McDonalds near where I live, as when my cousin owned a GameCube, he didn't have any Sonic games for it, and I only played Mario Sunshine for it(before I became consumed by my hatred of Mario, lol)

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Mikaela Nielsen The Dreamcast version has much better graphics than the Gamecube version

[@SShaBazzz]

Mikaela Nielsen what's with your hatred for sonic adventure for.

[@SShaBazzz]

What's your hatred for mario for I meant?

[@greninjastorm6734]

I don't know, I initially simply disliked Mario because was a diehard Sonic fan in my youth(it's died down a bit), but my dislike of Mario has grown, but I've honestly forgotten my reason(I guess part of the reason why I don't like SA1 is because the soundtrack bugs me for some reason)

[@SShaBazzz]

Mikaela Nielsen welp, to each their own I guess.

[@fastestgameralive8300]

First!!!!

[@fastestgameralive8300]

Find The Computer Room I love this game to gareath so just agree that I'm first

[@Kuzamer]

Find The Computer Room You guys should have used that Dreamcast Conversion Mod. Lol.

[@MykonosFan]

This playthrough was basically all ready to go and as much as I need to try that mod out, I didn't want to re-do everything, I just wanted to talk about the game already haha

[@Kuzamer]

MykonosFan Reviews Ah, I see. Makes sense. But yeah, that mod looks cleeeeean. I'd definitely recommend it.

[@hrhnicholasable]

Why is the PC port of this game so shit?

[@hrhnicholasable]

I tried the SADX better mod, but it just wouldn't work for me

[@diegomedina9637]

uhhhmm i think there are 2 of them, the good one and the bad one.

[@hrhnicholasable]

what? steam just has one release of it

[@DarkeeseLatfiah6]

hrhnicholasable Steam has the 2003 PC port of SADX, and the 2010 re-release of Sonic Adventure

[@hrhnicholasable]

Really? I only see one version for sale

[@deadchannellol2889]

I hate this game

[@AshBob5000]

Dreamcast version is better.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Then install the BetterSADX + Dreamcast Edition part of the mod to use Dreamcast textures on PC.

[@SilverPwns]

Who is Miwa?

[@Vee_Astra]

The word you're looking for is Rashomon, named after a damn good movie by Akira Kurosawa.
