THE REASON I ADDED THE ARSENAL PYRAMID DIALOGUE: In the early draft of the script, the lines from that flashback sequence would have played in a cutscene just before the double boost begins.

The game feels more lively with the left out dialogue added it's like you can slightly understand better on how the characters are feeling in a way,and the characters seem to be more aware and more involved rather than feeling like Sonic, your oc, and classic sonic are the only ones dealing with the situation while everyone else is just chilling

The level starting around 7:40 feels so... strange. Like, you're not part of a master plan being sent somewhere, the Resistance LITERALLY has their hands tied and you're the only one out there. But it's fine since "you can handle it". It feels mismanaged Then you're just attacking enemies without really doing anything specific, not protecting any specific area in an already burning city. And by the end it's just "The enemy has retreated! Congrats we did it!" but you see none of it beyond you just running through the level.

This is making me want a remaster of this game. Like level design changes, story tweaks etc. I feel like some people over at SEGA didn't let the developers use their full potential to help make this game the best it could be. I can genuinely see that this game was going to be pretty decent and not half decent, but okay at best. Now that there is going to be changes to SEGA's management structure, we can hope for the best that they let the developers take their time on what product they're making instead of having to make them waste it all. Sometimes it's the fault of management, not the developers. Developers make games, publishers tell them when to finish them. It's like homework in a way.

@@hihi-nm3uy No he hasn't always been the superior combatant, in SA2, he only believed that he was more powerful, until he started to gain some sort of respect for Sonic when he tapped into Chaos Control with a fake emerald, in which Shadow was more egar to know who he was, asking his name. They both thought together to defeat the Biolizard, in which Shadow used all the power he could to finish off the ultimate life form prototype, leading to his death in SA2, which shows that even if he has all that power, he can be harmed by it too. in Heroes, he forgot quite a bit of his memory, but his rivally with Sonic was more equal, he just said 'it's that hedgehog'(which is a bit ironic if you think about it) and just throwing cheesy lines at each other before going into fight, neither of them canonically winning. In 06, Shadow unleashed his power by taking off the rings, but he wasn't super, so it wasn't too much for him to bare, and he didn't dare use them for the final fight against solaris. Just because he has a strong attack doesn't make him superior, there's a good reason he mostly keeps them on in the games.

[@CapitalTeeth]

I really struggle to wonder why they removed that voice line from 6:00 I mean come on, just WHY?!

[@Temzy]

They should have had sonic wearing a communicator when dialogue was switched on and remove when it was switched off. It would make a whole more sense🤔

[@PromiseMeStars]

There's a mod to give him a headset but it's on all the time if you use it, not dependent on the in-level dialogue. Still, I like it because like you've said it makes more sense with it. It shouldn't have had to be a mod though.

[@yellowmello1223]

In fact, everyone should have been wearing a headset. It would make sense.

Erick Rocha Pretty sure it is.

[@GordieKat]

Sounds like Shadow was meant to have a Double Boost equivalent scene.

[@lpfan4491]

I mean, they literally already reference shadow the hedgehog 3 times over in the dlc. it would make sence if he was supposed to rush through a part of the level with chaos control(plus, shadow the hesgehog quote "behold the ultimate power!" and one unused quote here is very similar, so)

[@CyanSoCalico]

I'm as much of a fanboy for Forces as fanboys can get, and even I'm pretty disappointed most of these weren't used... they would have really made a lot of the inconsistencies make much more sense and seem intentional, particularly the Phantom Ruby-Dimensional Rift thing and Metal Sonic's increased size.

[@sokax6079]

you said it. i am in the exact same boat as you

[@JustJack2005]

6:00 I think this line was removed because this boss fight was used for the demo and revealing such info would spoiler some things.

@@lpfan4491 >developed for a shit console ...the PS3 and Xbox 360? Those don't really fit the bill for "shit consoles". And look at the physics, graphics, and level design in Unleashed compared to Forces, which one is the real unpolished one

[@lpfan4491]

It was developed for the xbox360 and suffered for it. I did not even say it as a negative, moreso a positive. I rather take a rough diamond then a polished piece of crap.(the reason I consider Forces to be polished is that usually everything works as intended while the same cannot be said for unleashed.

6:00 That line right there tells us that eggmna actually did make the Ruby. It was so confusing how he kept acting like he made because originally the Ruby came from Mania. But that line is glorifying

[@lpfan4491]

after analysing the real ruby(happened one day before stage2 of episode shadow), he created a copy that infinite uses. that is also where the prototypes come from. in the finalboss fight, the trio destroys the real ruby from mania. when it comes to why he acts as if he created the real one, that is more complicated. I do not even know all details because it makes no sence. the development of sonicgames is always conpletely insane

@@BendyCrates They've been trying this for too long, and it almost never worked. The only best thing to do with Sonic is to just pick a gameplay style for him (Like Adventure or Boost) that's widely beloved, then stick with it. And when the Adventure purists or Classic purists start complaining about it, then SEGA has to suck it up and say "This is what Sonic is now. If you don't like it, then this is not the game for you." Sure they might lose fractions of the fanbase, but at least it's better than having everybody get mad just because this one gameplay style simply exists or constantly hearing "THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED BRING BACK THE CLASSICS REEEEEE"
