MY GOAT HAS RETURNED!😭✊🏾🏆

[@ADreamingTraveler]

It's crazy that Dreamcast games had dlc even though it was limited but the console generation up until 2005 didn't have any. Shows how far ahead the Dreamcast was in some areas. The Xbox was actually influenced a lot by Dreamcasts online connectivity

[@_lemon52]

U are 100% right mate the dc was crazy ahead of its time. I did another video on a game called planet ring that was one of the first online only games ever and it was made by sega for the dreamcast and features real time voice chat, if that interests you

[@TheReZisTLust]

It even had Cross Game rewards which is quite nuts back on the day

[@Barra_97]

​@@TheReZisTLust How did they manage that if NFTs weren't available back then? 🤔 But seriously thats interesting to know.

[@CurlyChop]

​@@TheReZisTLustif you mean like it read the memory card, then Ratchet and Clank GC and UYA on PS2 did that too, where you could get the weapons from previous games if you had bought them by reading the memory card. It was attempted firstly on the N64 with Banjo Kazooie's Swop N Shop too

So I've heard, the DLC packs also include higher-resolution global illumination maps. Also, as a fun fact, many of the Adventure Pack stages are based on abandoned chunks of the base game's levels that otherwise only exist out-of-bounds in their incomplete states. One such area is the Jungle Joyride water puzzle, which is located unused on the other side of a permanently-sealed door behind the Goal Ring in act 1. This scrapped instance of the puzzle, though, is a bit incomplete - while the platforms and the death plane do indeed rise as intended, the visual water does not.

[@_lemon52]

Huh, that is some really interesting info. The global illumination thing I can deffo see. Some of those levels have incredible lighting. Some stuff even had me suprised for sonic unleashed standards, which already had pretty impressive lighting for the time. Dragon Road Night Act 3 especially sticks out to me. KZbin’s compression probably doesn’t do it justice but when I was playing through it on my OLED I was fully blown away. The stuff about the adventure pack stages tho I never knew, thanks for the info that’s really interesting 👍🏻

[@PhirePhlame]

Thanks, though I won't take all the credit - I'm pretty much relaying stuff found on this neat website called "The Cutting Room Floor" which is all about unused stuff, version differences, and so on.

They didn't make DLC levels for Eggmanland which honestly I'm glad since the long level itself plays like a remix stage in itself and having one will be a bigger nightmare to beat if you can imagine the horror of it.

[@rykavproductions666]

I actually thought the Werehog DLC levels were fantastic, they felt like stages from the Wii version due to their short length. It baffles me that Lost World got more DLC than Generations to be honest. Must've been the budget or they simply didn't have any plans for DLC. Great video, brought back some memories

I'm unsure if this was just my copy of Unleashed that did this, but Apatos Night 1-2 became my go-to for post-game XP farming. Every single vase, pot, and urn in that stage spewed XP crystals like bulimic pinatas. A single, quick run through the stage got me about 25-26 bars in about 5 minutes.

[@chaosangelzoneact365]

I never liked the werehog levels until the Rooftop Run DLC stages. The platforming showed me how great the night levels could be and made me wish the original levels had emphasized platforming more than combat.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

I liked the experimental design of these DLC stages -- even if they weren't all winners, I like being able to feel how the designers were just having fun trying to use the game's mechanics in interesting ways. I'll be honest, this is kinda the way I'd like more games to approach the idea of DLC. Something wacky that looks at things from a new angle and gives players challenges they wouldn't expect within the restrictions of how the game already works. Weirdly, I thought I'd played all of the "new" levels but I'm seeing some stuff here I definitely don't recognize. If my 360 wasn't in storage right now I'd say it was time to go back and take another look. Maybe after the move.

[@sunday1484]

The Unleashed DLC has some of my favourite boost levels in the series. I love how much they beat you down, it makes breezing through them feel so rewarding. (though I can definitely agree with your criticisms)

[@_lemon52]

Tbh man there’s a lot of stuff there I really enjoy too. This video took a while to make but the script was finished a while back now, since then I have came back and replayed unleashed stages when I’ve got some time to kill and I’m surprised at how often I run through some dlc levels. Some of the stuff in there is really fun.

[@t-bone2145]

Fr I know the repeat dlc levels basically just add hazards galore, but some also add new shortcuts which especially makes the early levels more interesting and actually makes me prefer a few over the originals (windmill isle 2-2 no 🧢)

No one wants to forget the Unleashed DLC Hands down the best part of the official Sonic games for me

[@UltraSTH]

One thing that should be mentioned is the fact that Savannah Citadel Act 5 is actually a remixed version of the Egg Beetle arena, but as an actual level now

[@skyblade57]

The arid sands chao level isnt actually the only "collect x chao" level in sonic unleashed, I distinctly recall an optional level in spagonia that had the same objective, though it was a 2d section played as something of a maze, rather than how the dlc level is played.

[@bluedash14]

That is true.

[@Springman1987]

Yep, Rooftop Run Act 2 in the base game.

[@ultraninja_19]

It feels so good to come back to Sonic Unleashed. I honestly really enjoyed the DLC stages in the game especially the nighttime levels. While I really don't like a few daytime DLC levels like Apotos act 4 etc, I thought most of the daytime stages were pretty solid. Btw, the werehog scream at the start was so unexpected but hilarious lol.

[@_lemon52]

Hahaha cheers. Yeah while the stages are brutal I had a pretty fun time overall and there’s a lot of levels I would come back to.

[@blueskythlikesclouds]

what's interesting is that all of these levels were probably part of the base game when the game was going to be two discs. once they decided to have only one disc, they separated all of the remaining levels into adventure packs, along with the HD resolution GI to save space

[@_lemon52]

Wow that’s interesting. Never knew the game was planned for two discs. Sonic unleashed really was an ambitious title

[@ToonyTails]

Where’d you get that info from?

[@backbreakerer]

​@@ToonyTails I'd like to know too

[@blueskythlikesclouds]

they mentioned all of this in the GDC presentation. you can easily find it on google, youtube doesn't allow me to send the link the unleashed prototype that got released 7 years ago also has just the first disc with dlc levels but quite a lot of data is missing, presumably stored in the second disc, i'd say that's also proof

Sonic unleashed is the only and first sonic game I’ve ever played and for me this is THE sonic game, it was so difficult for 10 yr old me but I enjoyed EVERY moment of it, ESPECIALLY the night levels, the combos just looked and felt great to do, plus the stretchy hands and no super speed was a nice change of pace

It seems he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

that chao stage kinda reminding me of the treasure hunter stages from the adventure games or some of the chaotix levels from Heroes. One of the level designers must have been feeling nostalgic.

[@tylerlaunius7396]

I just think that sort of level progression would have worked far better as a Night Stage, where exploration flows better. It feels very awkward as a Day Stage.

[@Echricter]

It’s really interesting to me that these levels vary in quality so much, the ones that highlight specific gameplay styles that ask of your ability and skill like the homin attack levels are really cool and I’m honestly suprised to see them in a sonic game, then there’s the massive contrast with the levels that clearly have no thought put into them, just random spikes or a fighting gauntlet.

[@_lemon52]

Perfectly said

[@tinic7776]

since i’m not seeing anyone mention this. The speed of the quick time event on the werehog enemies depends on their health son even when B shows u gotta bring down the health more so the time window is much longer this applies to vanilla unleashed too

[@_lemon52]

Yeah I am aware, probs could’ve used better clips to illustrate my point in hindsight. I know the timing changes based on health, the overall window to press the button tho I still feel has been shortened significantly from the base game

[@RenShinomiya121]

@@_lemon52 Aside from their HP, the timing also depend on your upgrades too, that's why they're just gone in a blink. Since the DLC enemies are way higher leveled than the base game ones, the QTE's might feel like they're shortened too.

[@ANGRY_ALA]

One thing to note is some night levels (to be specific dragon road act 1-2, arid sands act 2, skyscraper scramper act 2 and jungle joyride act 3) are reworked levels from unused areas from the main levels, wich at one point would have been a part from these levels with endings that fits those levels ALOT more than they are now (example: you can literally see the dark gaia phoenix boss area in dragon road act 1-2 at the end) but you can still access those arean in some ways, either in the main level or in side quest mission levels. You probably would had a slightly better time in levels like windmill isle act 1-3 with maxed out werehog since i can tell they are made for maxed out werehog other than that, i really like those DLCs, with the sonic 06 dlcs some of my favourite extra content in sonic games because of the extrem difficulty they have but i still dislike levels like cool edge act 1-2 and 2-2 day

[@tikprpro03]

If Sonic Unleashed got a remake, I wonder if they would try to recombine these DLC acts with their original counterparts like originally intended

[@genyakozlov1316]

​@@tikprpro03Colours Ultimate didn't do that despite that game's levels being similarly chopped up, and they went as far as to remove the restored music loops from CD in Origins, so no, as Sonic Team only rerelease the games as they actually came out.

[@JamesBlood45]

I actually find that Apotos night stage extremely fun and short, but I understand the frustration. Though maxed power, unleash gauge and charged punches make things a lot easier, it's surely a pain to someone who's not used to that difficulty increase or just not as good with the combat to begin with. I enjoyed the video anyways, a complete review, stage per stage and fair points. There are indeed some good stages and others not so much. I'll keep an eye to this cannel, good stuff over here

[@_lemon52]

Ay thankyou man, appreciate u sticking round. A couple people have said that about the werehog not being maxed out. Pretty sure I’ve got the xp to do it, just never thought too stupidly. I might max him out and return to some levels to see what difference it makes. The charged punch, I never use because I find it restricts your movement so much when you charge it up that I just take damage, but I’ll give it another swing, never realised it was such a powerful move.

Cool edge day 4 is one of my favourite stages in the game. It was so fun to boost off ramps and get that huge air

[@TylerBR97]

I agree with a lot of your points on the remixed stages. I wish they all had the same treatment as Windmill Isle 1-2 or Adabat 1-2. Those are sooooo good. I also love all the night stages in the DLCs. I must say you should really be maxed out for those stages. I’m sure the developers expected the player to be maxed out before going into it

[@_lemon52]

Yeah a couple others have said that, in hindsight I deffo should’ve been. Might try running through them again in my own time with stats maxed out. And yeah the remix stages are by far the weakest part of the dlc. The original stages can be really good. Only remix stage I really enjoyed was the first windmill isle level because it expands on the short tutorial level

[@MSCLeap75]

@@_lemon52 Pretty ironic how the Jungle Joyride day remix level was a lot more easier and fun than the original, plus it somewhat fixed that huge framerate issue(on the 360 & PS3) of the deep jungle area that the main level suffered from.

[@agentomecha634]

While some of these DLC stages can feel cheap at times, I do enjoy the challenge some of these bring and I like the stages that either take place at different time intervals or have unique level geometry since it allows us to see new parts of these locations. With Sonic Unleashed being my favorite Sonic game and having played through the main game several times, I overall find these DLC stages a refreshing change of pace.

[@omegamobius0174]

This was a great video, very comprehensive dive on such a niche part of unleashed! Earned another sub. I'm actually playing through the DLC myself recently for the first time, since I didn't realize it was a thing until long after they came out. I agree with your assessment, the day levels range from being actually fair and fun challenges to just...frustrating "fuck you, game" type of stages that are a chore to go through. Unleashed's...slightly janky controls also doesn't help either. The night levels on the other hand I'm actually enjoying wayyyy more on average. I like how they have a good mix of platforming challenges (that push concepts the originals had even further) and tough combat encounters that really make you use everything in your kit to get through them (I don't recall ever having to actually shield or evade in the original night levels lol). I enjoy them a bit more than a decent amount of the day stages since they rely more on actual challenge instead of "here's 20 spike traps/bombs that you have no time to react to". Though the day stages that were a tough but more fair challenge were super enjoyable. Makes me wonder if we'll ever get a sonic-adventure style game that takes the boost formula of the day stages and combines it with the slower combat and platform focus of the night stages (like with Knuckles instead of the werehog)

[@_lemon52]

Thanks man glad u enjoyed. Interesting to see you recently have played through the dlc as well and hear your thoughts. Overall would you say you think the dlc is worth it?

[@omegamobius0174]

@@_lemon52 Honestly, I'd think it's worth it, especially for the price that it was (the level of DLC for 12 bucks nowadays feels like a dream lol) I may be a biiiit biased since Unleashed is like one of my top 3 sonic games so I won't say no to more of it but I think you hit the nail on the head that it's *definitely* not for beginners but a fun challenge for those who've gone through it before. I'd say I enjoyed about ~70% of my time with it!

[@cyberstar108]

As someone who has fully S-ranked the day stages, I will say that they were really fun to learn and execute. While a bit on the cheap side (dragon road 2-2 im looking at you), it was still satisfying to finally finish the stage with the s-rank, no matter how cheap it was.

[@_laqwann_]

I feintly remember playing random levels of this dlc back on the ps3 days and don’t get me wrong either i didn’t feel i was bad at playing this game i platinumed it twice especially doing eggmanlands annoying challenges playing the same long drawn out stage over n over without dying. But even as someone who was experienced like you i didn’t feel too attracted to these stages. I guess as a kid i liked the simple momentum based levels and when i noticed random spikes and bullsht placed all over the dam place it got annoying. I wasn’t the type to take it slow either so alot of it lost my interest entirely but i’m glad you made this bc i got to know what these stages look like and hearin someone elses take on these goofy levels

[@_lemon52]

Some of them are quite good to be honest. The worst offenders by far are the remix levels. Jsut very very cheap and poor level design

[@AliC202]

This DLC is so so good, and I glad to see someone acknowledge it, I haven't fully watched the video yet so forgive me if you say this, but the fact is basically shows us the ENTIRE levels they planned before they decided to shrink them, it's SO GOOD. Edit: Oops, I forgot how bad the Apotos Night stages were lol

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

The DLC stages are amazing to me, and quite a few are actually harder than the base game. In fact, that one DLC of Windmill Isle Night (act 1-3) where you do nothing but fights? It's enemies has the HIGHEST stats in the game (even higher than Eggmanland). Beating that stage without any upgrades to the Werehog felt like the best achievement ever. Also a side note for anyone with the DLC, but the stage Windmill Isle Night Act 1-2 has the biggest EXP gain out of ANY stage.... So if you're trying to level up your stats, repeat that stage. Another note, but the mechanics for the "Critical Attacks" as the werehog is based off two things: Enemy "levels" against your own, and how much HP they have left. Don't expect to instantly beat enemies in Windmill Isle Night Act 1-3 unless you're very, VERY good at those quicktime presses, or if they're at 25% HP or less. "I'm sure if you fully committed to this stage, and fully learn the layout" Honestly, that applies to all the stages, even the Night ones. If you know as many mechanics as possible (and a lot of people overlook a few of the werehog mechanics too) and know what's coming, the stages actually do feel a little better. Still, first impressions are a thing. Also, I remember Cool Edge Night Act 2 having THREE "Big Mother" enemies in a single fight. That's the most mini boss enemies you face in a single "fight" throughout the entire game, but you can still have them and other enemies hit and damage each other cause "friendly fire" is a thing for them.

For some reason my Unleashed had the DLC levels despite me never paying for it. I played on an Xbox 360 back then. But i never knew it was a paid stage

[@nachardou.4780]

As a certified tryhard of the Werehog's gameplay, thank you. Because if I hadn't watched this video I probably wouldn't know about these DLCs that have insanely hard night stages (which is what I've been looking for, an actual challenge)

[@sometf2player752]

15:42 for future refrence these are called directional cannons

[@NektheDarkener]

I didn't even know this game had DLC

[@galaxymutant]

Damn this dudes been making this vid for over a year

[@adude9982]

underrated asf! nice video

[@_lemon52]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching

[@goodtimesupreme]

This was a good video and im glad it was recommended on my homepage. subbed! i wonder if these levels are gonna be ported to generations?

[@_lemon52]

Thanks man appreciate it, and I think they have just been modded into generations like literally this week

[@RenShinomiya121]

Most of them are already ported to gen, mainly the Windmill Isle and Cool Edge ones

[@xProErax]

What would your ranking be overall with each stage pack? I was hoping that you would have said in the conclusion because all these packs are sold separately overall it would have been nice to have known for other people what they should buy out of all of them. Still though more recently I bought the last pack that I wasn't fully sure about buying but for $2 I decided to buy the complete DLC for Sonic Unleashed and man it really would be nice to have this game re-released though after buying all the DLC I would probably wait till it would go on sale but still would be very nice to have. But yeah if you can mention your ranking for all the packs that would be very nice to hear!

[@twotoned_echos]

Never forgotten about these DLC stages. I remember playing one of the Night stages from the Apotos pack to grind xp 😂 Edit: Night Act 1-2 was the stage. You can get like 30 bars of exp from every run

[@nebbynetwork2089]

Didn't even know unleashed had dlc that's cool Probbly because I got my version on the wii

[@will8994]

I’m pretty sure there’s a bonus base game level in Rooftop Run that requires you to find chao

[@_lemon52]

Ur correct I completely missed that when making this

[@eba2644]

YOURE BACKK YAYY

[@OffAirProductions]

In my opinion, the real benefit of the DLC is getting Sonic and the Werehog up to max level much faster than you can by playing the base game's levels. I enjoyed what I played while doing that though.

[@jcgamer1650]

Sonic Unleashed had DLC? I honestly never even noticed.

[@keeby4]

I somehow never noticed that the windmill isle DLC level uses the tutorial in it.

[@XolTheGreat]

You like the word "emphasis"

[@dillon8124]

take a shot every time he says cheap
