Shadow Generations Restored My Hope In Sonic

[@2ndspringtube708]

You also gotta love that the chaos emerald shadow is using is the “fourth damn chaos emerald”

[@purplenerdsplushie]

how can i make this about Radical Highway 😈

[@ratchet1122]

You just go whoosh

[@Hyp3rSonic]

LMFAO

[@Reset2150676]

im glad more people notice why black doom keeps showing shadow radical highway great video

[@arc7375]

To “be back” means to consistently deliver high-quality games, game after game. One good game isn’t a comeback. It’s a surprise. A fluke at best. A fluke at worst. If the next two Sonic games maintain good quality and continue to deliver going forward, _then_ “we are so back” applies.

[@CursedShinobiClown]

If they wanted to be Meta Westopolis makes more sense then Radical Highway especially since you have to go through bits of radical highway throughout the game. Not only is Westopolis from the game Black Doom stars in but its also a level that you have to repeat over and over again to get the true ending so it repeating constantly throughout shadow gens could be a nice little reference to how repetitive westopolis could be for someone on a first playthrough of shadow the hedgehog

27:30 Neo Devil Doom really has those nails on fleek though 💅

[@knux333jw]

Great video! Basically is identical to how I feel myself. I just hope so much Sonic Team and Sega keep up the momentum. Let's not immediately follow this up with yet another underwhelming or even mediocre/divisive game. KEEP UP this energy. The template is here. And also, yes. We really gotta get more originality back, so we can have games that have their own unique identity again too.

Sonic Frontiers was what restored my hope in the Sonic series but Shadow Generations just cemented it

Cement cement cement!

Silver gotta keep watch of that chili dog when the fastest thing alive is around 👀

While the Mic quality is okay, the rest of the review is very solid and pretty good.

[@livingdoubt54]

@@SaddieMoon im using a mic from my headset with like three filters over it to try and make it sound professional, but i do intend on buying a legitimate mic soon

[@Detrevnl23]

there needs to be a silver campaign now

[@alphax-shroom6781]

I think The stages created by the Time eater are all about Sonic rather than Shadow. We go throuh Final Rush instead of Final Chase, We end with the Mach Speed section of Kingdom valley that only sonic went through, we went to Suset Hieghts instead of Enemy Territory and we go to Chaos Island during the time Sonic was there.

[@livingdoubt54]

@@alphax-shroom6781 nice observation

[@OnePolishMoFo]

I actually massively enjoyed Sonic Frontiers. The whole package. I played each Cyberspace stages dozens of times over. I loved it. Shadow Generations plays like a dream. It's everything I liked about Frontiers polished to a sheen. I have literally no complaints. Some people say it's too short. I argue it's such high quality because it's on the short side. All killer no filler. Plus if your number one criticism about a game is "I wish there was more of it" you know you've got something good.

[@WatiSaurus]

i grew up a sonic fan since i was like 10 (i was obsessed and it was all i talked about at daycare) so it was nice to see a sonic related vid! good work :’)

[@SonicTheBlueBlur15]

Frontiers 2 Has some HUUUGE shoes to fill

[@zekeram129]

Shadow Generations makes the claim of Sonic Generations being one of the best Sonic games ever made feel stupid because of how much better it is

[@Hyp3rSonic]

I dont agree with that. However, I respect your opinion (both games are still great tho!)

[@lordx8844]

I thought the thumbnail said "we're so black"

[@Hyp3rSonic]

I thought you said "We're so back"

[@flurreo]

Disgusting black creatures. Get out of my sight.

[@flurreo]

i cackled at the silver chilidog bit before having a coughing fit peak review, but i think you missed a few details with the story - specifically black doom's goal, and why shadow was getting pissed off at that point - but your focus was far more on the gameplay, so i can understand that keep up the good work!

[@livingdoubt54]

i did understand black dooms goal and why shadow was angry but i didnt want the video to be bloated with me just repeating plot points

[@flurreo]

@@livingdoubt54 ye, makes sense thanks for clearing it up!

[@akdreamer6497]

Shadow was not in stasis when he went back to the past to seal Mephiles and Iblis away with Silver bruh

[@TevyaSmolka]

I love this game it’s really awesome and as a huge fan of shadow the hedgehog fan this game gave me everything I ever wanted which made me so happy in my opinion.

[@bowmaj8666]

Do I have to remind everyone that the so called "meta era" only came about because of how much people were complaining about the games that came before it?

[@livingdoubt54]

@@bowmaj8666 we know

[@bowmaj8666]

​@@livingdoubt54I just feel the need to remind everyone. Whenever people get all whiney about something in the Sonic series, Sega overreacts, and desperately tries to appeal to them, starts changing things, and ultimately ends up throwing the baby out with the bathwater when they start scrapping things that actual fans enjoy.

[@waifu27]

great video. your knowledge on sonic and megaten always amazes me, happy you're really putting all of it to use

Black Doom is really evil. He tries to nostalgia bait Shadow every chance he gets. Or he really likes Radical Highway.

Wait you didn't try using Doom Wing in the other levels?

im not really into sonic like you and violet are but this was a really nice video!! u had some shit that made me laugh 😭

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

We need a Knuckles game! The best levels from SA2 were the Knuckles levels!

[@Hyp3rSonic]

Great video 👍

[@georgejonesthestarseeds77]

18:21 I'm pretty sure the G.U.N Commanders name Abraham Tower was first established in one of the comics, don't ask which one though, I can't remember, so this wouldn't really be the first time we hear his real name, in fact when they called him by his name from the comics in the Dark Beginnings anime, the people I had seen react to it who i'm pretty sure had read the comics were overjoyed

[@Therealones745]

I personally prefer the open zone control of frontiers it’s just way more fun to run around than shadow generations

[@SaddieMoon]

4:49 I still don’t understand the hate for this line as it makes sense for Sonic to be shocked that other things than just the Time Stones can send people through time and space. Granted, people also mention the signs also doing that, which is fair. But I guess Sonic just forgot. It really doesn’t matter. (And no, I do not believe Ian Flynn only makes references for the sake of references.) Now to be fair, he does do references that are just meant to be references. Frontiers’ references was both meant to make the lore feel more connected, and Ian trying to see how many references he cram in there. But for the most part, especially reading Archie, he’s just trying to make references for the sake of references as he does try using them to connect the lore. Like a TV show bringing up previous events. (Also me bringing up Ian wasn’t me assuming that’s what this guy meant, I just wanted to bring it up for Ian’s haters)

[@martinaguiluz4063]

Hold up, Lost World's ost is hella good. WTF

22:36 Music is drowning out Mephiles ngl. Looks like Sega still has sound mixing problems.

[@bunnyallii]

I came to this video

[@TheGamingKiller242]

I'm only somewhat optimistic about the future, because that's what-? 2 games, one with a large scope that only achieved a little beyond mediocrity, and a tiny game that has good/refined gameplay, and a good story? Don't think we're out of Mediocre Zone yet, Sega and Sonic Team have yet to prove they're capable of making a non-nostalgia pandering, quality, original 3D Sonic game. I need to see a game with the scope of Unleashed, or Adventure 1/2 before I can have confidence in them again. I would've said 06, but I don't think Sega will ever give Sonic Team the time, or budget to create a finished product with that game's scope.
