Nerd³ Plays... Shadow the Hedgehog

[@fanaticNecrolatrist]

Why did shadow pump an mp5 as if it was a shotgun in the beginning cutscene!?

[@Thisguyisright]

+Prince Vegeta Because the people that made this game apparently know nothing about guns. Or were far too lazy to just give him a shotgun in that scene instead of a sub machine gun.

[@quitomontgomery2660]

Prince vegta you should killed freza

[@SharkBait19904]

+Soup Can McGee Yes he did....I can't stop laughing at that.

[@steph112926]

because he had the shotgun attachment from advanced warfare

[@cannonfodder8907]

+ToppleZone i was about to say the same thing xD

[@Dimentio36]

I just realised that the Sonic world has a surprising amount of festivals. The Little Planet Conveniently Named Little Planet Festival The Big Bloody Comet That Might Be Full Of Aliens Festival The "Boy, We Sure Hope The Fire God Doesn't Kill Us All" Festival

[@RevoltLarzWolfblade]

"Help! We're being sucked in!" "Better than being sucked off" That kills me every time xD

[@Schiessen-g3w]

"I mean... actually... what?"

[@christianhamiltonskinner]

0:22 ...Did he just rack the handguard on that sub-machinegun as if it were the pump on a shotgun?

[@RileytheDirewolf]

Nikolai Evans I don't know but i want that drum in your profile pic

[@christianhamiltonskinner]

Riley the Direwolf I think we all would, man. PTV has the coolest bass drum heads/skins

[@RileytheDirewolf]

i saw them in march and the drums looked amazing

[@mongoose2040]

Nikolai Evans Short answer; Yes, yes he did...

[@MrMadRealms]

Nikolai Evans Yes, I'm happy that I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

[@DrunkenSupah]

This game was fantastic in my nostalgic memories.. uh.. looking at it now..

[@cyp1167]

Ikr

[@jeffpark4136]

Same

[@AlliArt15]

I think I remember the multiple branching story/ good vs evil mechanics and I loved that as a child. But watching this makes me cringe at how edgy grunge Shadow is, damn, was he always that bad? xD Besides that and frame rate/ the camera/ awful gun aiming, I still think it a decent game.... maybe I should rethink that...

[@fireblast6741]

~Supah~ same dude I liked this cause in sonic adventure 2 shadow levels were my favorite and this game was made up of shadow levels

[@dbeat321]

6:10 "It's never lupus"

[@sejrefraincisa4276]

That's hilarious.

[@chronovac]

I'm surprised Shadow doesn't cut himself on the amount of edge he has

[@D.A.R.C.I.]

kittehdrawrs an edge cant cut itself

[@pootisspencer9586]

Dan: Oh my god he has slot machines on his bot! ... That's actually quite a fun idea. Me: **Glances at Super Mario Sunshine**

[@sendingpostcardsfromaplane3314]

Me:*Thinks about every casino level from past Sonic games*.

[@ShadowQuill]

Shadow the Edgehog, rated E for Edge, coming soon to theaters.

[@Mr3D10]

Nerd: Swords don't have ammo! That's the point of swords! Me: Glances at Halo energy sword

[@Pikkabuu]

+SirWalrusII Well at least the energy sword needs batteries to provide the energy. A sword made of metal has no need for a battery.

[@legendofsonic3979]

+Pikkabuu the weapon breaks after a few hits, that's why it has ammo

[@Pikkabuu]

legend of sonic How does a sword break just after few hits? Is it made of tinfoil?

[@legendofsonic3979]

+Pikkabuu The G.U.N soldiers have iron armour and the aliens can take 3 AK-47 bullets to the head, of course a piece of metal will break from hitting them

[@Pikkabuu]

legend of sonic Well technically the sword would dull and not break. But the thing is that you aren't supposed to keep hitting the armour of the person but strike at places that aren't protected by armour.

[@FacelessJim]

The only Sonic games I ever got were Sonic '06, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic and the Secret Rings..... Jesus christ, no wonder I don't like this franchise.

[@ThePlasticBowl]

Tom Carr All of which were good games so...

[@biff9082]

ThePlasticBowl *Cough* You serious?

[@biff9082]

ThePlasticBowl *Cough* You serious?

[@ThePlasticBowl]

Biff Starling Yes actually I'm part of that 1% of sonic fans that actually loved both Sonic 06 and Shadow the Hedgehog. In fact I played through Sonic 06 twice and loved it both times I honestly don't see why everyone hated it so much.

[@SchweizerPsychopaten]

ThePlasticBowl ....weeeeell....were do i start....ok...how about this...Sonic 06 is a broken piece of shit! I don't want to stomp your opinion but it is broken in it's mechanics, animations etc....etc, at several points of the game you'll just die because the games hates you, the boss battles against silver are a good example "IT'S NO USE" drove me crazy as he continued to corner me making any sort of escape impossible, the graphics are nothing short of ugly...the fucking humans.....Elise is literaly the worst character model of all time....while she s build realisticly...which doesn't fit in sonics world....she has a neck that would brake IRL..the movement didn't felt right...sonic drowns instantly in 2 feet deep water...do i have to continue?

[@solidchocolate2884]

For some reason I remember enjoying this game a lot as a kid.

[@guyonacomputer1261]

The pause thing is not a glitch. Pause sects a mission, and you had none available. You were supposed to press circle.

[@michaelsmith8107]

+Guy On A Computer He's probably on a PC though not PS2

[@flyingtool5312]

“did you steal my gun? you knob”

[@Warriorcats64]

Man, I loved this game as a kid....now, it's hilarious. Sonic Heroes, Sonic '06, Unleashed...they lacked this charm and had all these problems and more. Hell this is better than Adventure 2 since it doesn't have those shitty Knuckles/Rogue stages.

[@darkohgrubb17]

I think they got the neutral and the slightly evil ending mixed up...

[@brodiiie]

"Look how pathetic they are, I don't have time for these humans" DIED LAUGHING !!!!!!

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

i genuinely enjoyed this game as a kid. tastes have changed but its a fond memory

[@apertureemployee215]

I remember actually having a lot of fun playing the multiplayer with some friends

[@Prich1010]

The opening blew my mind in my childhood.

[@TheTriforcebearer]

"knuckles help me loot this shit" I don't know why but that really got to me lol

[@legatenaarifin]

Aahh, I spent so much time playing this game, trying to get all the endings. And the unlock-able music, oh my

[@JasonHall12345]

Ech! These graphics ech! ECH!

[@RageSondrayy]

***** Cs:s graphics are better about same year.

[@Scaryspirit1]

GRRR8 earlier, infact, 2004.

[@RageSondrayy]

Scaryspirit Gaming as I said, "about the same time".

[@RageSondrayy]

Gameplay DOES matter, but if the graphics are hard on the eye as in this game it is unplayable in my eyes.

[@FacelessJim]

Jason Hall Yet, they're surprisingly better then Sonic '06s graphics, an entire console generation before.. What the fuck..

[@JayF_VRC]

he was able to complete the game in one sitting, I played the game for 3 months and barely made it past level 3

[@jsegaul420]

this game is so god damn edgy that I tore myself in half when I lightly tapped it.

[@PaulZeroSolis]

I tore myself into 100 equal sized pieces when I walked near this game, this game is so edgy.

[@twist4825]

I loved Shadow the Hedgehog, Scold me for it.

[@toaster6035]

"WHAT THE DUNE IS THAAAT?!" Nerdcubed, I love you.

[@breakinginferno6774]

I dont understand, is my ps2 just rediculously powerful or is everyone else's just crap? I have never had framerate issues in Any game. Ive played this and other games that suposedly have bad framerates and it runs perfectly smooth...

[@martijn260894]

Ignorance is bliss, just be happy you don't notice.

[@breakinginferno6774]

Martijn good advice. and not bad philosophy either.

[@almogpas4589]

Breaking Inferno Not sure if you're trolling but... The game worked great on every PS2. He's either using a Gamecube emulator or PCSX2, both of which are unoptimized and even games with crap graphics like that actually play terrible because they use software, rather than hardware.

[@BiafraRepublic]

Almog Pas Speaking as an owner of the Gamecube version, I can definitely say it is an emulator issue. The GC edition (both on native hardware and on the Wii in Gamecube mode) only gave me framerate issues when playing 4-player multiplayer.

[@almogpas4589]

Also, don't take it like I didn't like the game. That's one of my childhood favorites.

[@thediam7682]

sonic says at one point "I don't team up with black creatures" I say "RACIST"

[@thegamechannel123]

I loved this game when I was a kid!

[@lostfan10000]

3:19 I didn't know Dan was playing Assassin's Creed IV.

[@monoXIX-]

I actually love this game rip

[@rongomojofeet92]

I used to play this game everyday when I was little. I didn't realize it was even bad at the time.

[@TheAlienFromOuterEarth]

I liked this game XD am i the only one?

[@lucahlover7721]

Me too I loved this game and people who talk shit about it don't realize what's its actually about

[@jackhenderson1039]

What's it actually about?

[@brandonvenzon2324]

+A Piece Of Bread "They made Sonic black and gave him a gun." The End.

[@jackhenderson1039]

Brandon venzon DATS WACIST

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

TheAlienFromOuterEarth no i did. people make this game out to be as bad as sonic 06 it.

[@brendanrisney2449]

"What the fuck happens in the bad ending?!" You literally kill everyone. I forget what happens in the good ending because it wasn't edgy enough for me to remember. I think you kill the alien guy and never get your answers in either route.

[@thehexagongamer2390]

This videos should have been a "Nerd's Hell video"

[@colossuskiller876]

In the bad ending you kill Sonic and the President

[@WinterGray8888]

I was not expecting that ending in a children's game

[@ronnocmcmillin634]

This game by far best 3D sega sonic franchise game

[@chrisandrew7577]

panzer dragoon!!! literally been looking for that game title for YEARS. nostalgia bomb

[@colekavanaugh4559]

I remember there was a secret way to get a friend to play as one of the other characters that shows up.

[@Geee-zZ]

OMG Love this game this was my life back in the day

[@barneystinson3566]

I would play this shit all the time on the game cube

[@flamingwaffels]

I STILL HAVE IT :D

[@iloveyoushima]

@@flamingwaffels I have it for all three consoles

[@NightSlashX]

Collect all the endings! I played the Gamecube version and I haven't has any frame drop issues.

[@croccandbaultorcure3295]

you are the only one who made a good playthoogh of this game

[@chasewilson1732]

This is my childhood game.

[@timeywimeywholock221b4]

1:01 The inspiration for Hatred.

[@jamesreveley5360]

I really wanted this game as a kid

[@thearcheduck8746]

We already have a city made of casinos... its called las vegas.

[@WaluigiLebron]

Arcduck and Reno

[@zavodila9279]

7:31 Me: **flashes back to **5:07** of the Sonic Adventure DX video** **confusion**

[@charlesgrimmer6486]

This Eggman is the best eggman

[@MrAppleSalad]

When you paused you were on the last level where you were forced to do a good or bad route, you couldn't resume because you were attempting to resume a neutral route, which wasn't available. It wasn't a bug

[@cheatsenabled1662]

Actually it's because he was trying to select a mission character he hadn't yet encountered, the neutral route just doesn't exist on that level and you can't select it. I also encountered this in The Doom though, I forgot you have to press start again to unpause... so I restarted and lost a life.

[@MrAppleSalad]

@@cheatsenabled1662 i see! that makes sense.

[@mr.hankeythexmaspooteamhea6136]

13:37 still a better robot than the lava reef.

[@mr.hankeythexmaspooteamhea6136]

The Great Kaminic or a pink robot.

[@KayofAllTrades]

Still waiting for a completes, just to see his reaction to the game in it’s entirety.

[@roboaramis]

cabbage batch kid with a knife? maybe he never seen Chuckie

[@dingus1787]

ow the edge

[@dennisbaijens9786]

I actually really liked this game :p Also, played it on the Game Cube, pretty sure frame rate was pretty solid there :p

[@Famous_Author_John]

+Dennis Baijens Way better on the Gamecube. A lot less buggy too. They probably just ported it over from gamecube to PS2. It's really shit on PS2 from what I'm seeing here. A bit less intuitive too.

[@Thisguyisright]

Coincidentally, Knuckles IS my favorite.

[@DrLuck-xn7ez]

They really do look like those trousers from W&G

[@subzerotheiceninga8254]

Who noticed shadow is left handed because he is holding the sword in his left hand.

[@fuzzygaming7343]

He pumped an M4 like a shotgun

[@kayleigh-annackhurst8107]

9:00 you destroyed my to go yoshi. One thing,YOSHI IS NOT IN SHADOW HE'S IN SONIC X

[@coolhere45]

Oh god I had this game for the gamecube.

The guy in with the horns has a cat face 😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@WillieManga]

0:17 No, because it was supposed to be blown in half during Sonic Adventure 2. Who rebuilt it? It'd be pretty wild to see lava coming out of it during this edgy game. It's pretty interesting to hear opinions about this game from a non sonic regular.

[@soiboi4497]

I traded this game to a friend and he gave me burnout 3....... *i feel so bad for him till this day

[@IdylllOfficial]

Those monsters look oddly like the monsters from Superman Returns on Xbox...

[@heckin_idiot2534]

I actually enjoyed this... When I was 9.

[@TxnnxrFPS]

The channel or video

[@TxnnxrFPS]

Or the game...

[@heckin_idiot2534]

The game

[@dopplerfox]

What kind of gun is Shadow using? It's got the same amount of ammo of a carbine, acts like an assault rifle, looks like a 'sharpshooter rifle' of some sort but has the same mass as a handgun.

[@KayofAllTrades]

Yes.

[@BloodyRainRang]

Maybe just do a few more to find out the bad ending :3 could be a mini Nerd Completes.

[@wgimpact4383]

I Like THIS. GAME

[@Pyroc1astic]

Is it bad my favourite characters in Sonic are Shadow and Silver? I'm sorry mom, I failed you..

[@nyxato7649]

The "leave the watchtower literature and piss off" is a reference to JW's, which I find extremely hilarious since Im slightly one myself. To anyone who doesnt know, JW's are religious people who preach by handing out literature, and it's commonly overexaggerated by people that JW's hunt you down to talk to you about jeeeSUS.

[@Archerzz239]

As someone who had this game: Yes, the frames drop THAT much.

[@brandonkim7353]

6:17 ... no words... just watch

[@metalwoundnsdr8254]

That intro cutscene man sadly I think that is still the most badass thing ever change shadow from not being a hedgehog or something and make a more realistic humanoid version release this game again with a different story and the same middle school edginess and it will be like a more kid friendly hatred lmao

[@mick-a.9110]

is it bad that i adored this game?

[@asstolfo9106]

Silver's my favourite hedgehog, screw shadow

I bet Shadow is Matt's fursona.

[@spartandumpster1158]

I can't believe this was my favorite game when I was like 10, If I could meet my child self, I'd yell in his face "NO! NO!"

[@Ramblinman26]

Word of warning to anyone who wants to get either this game or Sonic Heroes, get the Gamecube versions, NOT the PS2 version.

[@davidpt]

don't make fun of this game, this was very cool to play.

[@Nottyastro]

Does someone know what happens in the bad ending?

[@SuperSonicBlur]

From true evil to hero: TE - fight sonic + giant shit robot and destroy the entire planet TE/h - enslave the entire planet E - work for black doom..yeah that's about it E/h - fight eggman on the alien spaceship and be slightly evil N - I am robot fuck you eggman H/e - fight eggman on the arc and be incredibly depressed about existence H - fight black doom and become the protector of the Arc TH/e - fight sonic and giant robot and...err do stuff for the good guys TH - become the defender of the earth and fight black doom

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Also true ending: Black doom needed chaos emeralds to chaos control the comet onto the earth's surface and spread evil gas to kill the world. Shadow finds out he is made by black dooms blood and goes super Saiyan to fight giant monster black doom. If you waste 10 mins in that fight, eggman (who isn't dead) tells you that you are the real shadow the hedgehog and just suffered amnesia..it's...weird..

[@mr.hankeythexmaspooteamhea6136]

I think he's playing the PS2 version. It's the least powerful out of GCN, PS2 & XB1.

I actually find this game good

[@kodaskii5042]

so, what the last ending. There are 5.

[@McHeisenburger]

WHY IS HIS MOUTH ON ONE SIDE OF HIS FACE. WHY CAN IT MOVE AROUND INDEPENDENTLY.

[@LobstertheGiggy]

I remember liking this game. Maybe I should play it again just to see if it actually holds up. Because let's face it asking for the opinion of Dan on a modern Sonic game is kinda pointless.
