I Finally Played Sonic Adventure 2 For The First Time (At the Intended Speed)

[@hunterb108]

Glad my recommendeds led me to your content. Been in a sonic nostalgia mood recently but too preoccupied to play myself. Appreciate your chill commentary while chilling in the afternoon.

Hey, that means the world, I'm glad you enjoyed :). The new Sonic movie really set me back into a nostalgic mood too so I had to hop on it

[@hunterb108]

Also, I used to think I liked knuckles missions as a kid, but as an adult they drive me crazy. I think the main thing that kept me interested when I was a kid was just thinking knuckles was a cool character tbh.

Love this play through as brings up memories of my first time playing. My daughter is asking after watching sonic 3 to play it this weekend so cant wait to see her trying it for the first time properly. Her reaction to maria in the film was brilliant and she knew shadow is my favourite character and did ask how close it was to what I played. My reaction to live and learn in the cinema was priceless and embarrassed her a ton 😂

finally someone that suffers through this game as I am suffering - kid me would've loved these games I know, but I was a PlayStation baby so Sonic was out of my reach until now

@@svetaphantom I love the Sonic and tails stages but knuckles stages bring out a certain anger in me

SA2 is on PS3

[@tetradactyla]

One of the biggest complaints about SA2 in general is the pacing on the treasure hunting levels. In SA1 the radar would work for all 3 pieces simultaneously, but for some reason in the sequel it only works for one at a time, slowing these levels down considerably. Thankfully, they had the foresight to give us banging backing tracks to hear on loop, so that helps a little.

[@pituOkumura]

The radar only works on 1 piece at the time because it will turn really confusing if the hints TV's start giving you hints for all 3 pieces and you wouldn't know which piece they are referring. Sonic team really wanted to push the use of the hint system, thats why omochao and hints will be around every corner.

@@tetradactyla the music makes up for it a little bit but that damn beeping drives me insane lmaoooo

[@Neo-Metal17]

I think both are equally flawed but I do prefer SA2's treasure stages because I feel like they actually give me something to do SA1 has a better radar but I think SA2 has more creative and more original levels, a better moveset, more variety and a better hint system since they give hints instead of just flying straight to the emeralds like Tikal did in SA1.

[@Kohara17]

@@Neo-Metal17 This might be a controversial take but I wish they were more focused around combat than treasure hunting. I mean hes got those knuckles for a reason. Maybe almost something like the wherehog stages from unleashed. I know some people definitely were fans of those, but I'm not a fan of treasure hunting haha

[@Neo-Metal17]

@ Nah I disagree, he has Knuckles but he was never just about fighting, he's a protector and he's pretty intelligent, and people hated the Werehog stages in Unleashed, some liked them, like me but they definitely get hate too. Also how would they make that interesting without it just being "punch everything in sight and the level is over in a minute"

[@mid0risprite]

woah i would like to see MORE SONIC

[@Kohara17]

Keep your eyes open then

[@Mattbensonphotography]

And the treasure hunting levels I liked to play casually as a kid but trying to get high ranks not so much 😂 the songs though!! Like tell me a single song in this game that isnt 🔥

[@August_Dust]

"I'm the coolest!" Even playing this as a kid I knew that line was cringe. Lol

[@Kohara17]

@@August_Dust maybe he really is the coolest though

Got you suck at the game.

@@Creski777 I know haha it’s so different from the other sonic games I’ve played while still being similar. Appreciate the engagement :D
