Let’s beat all of Sonic Adventure 2

UPDATE: The title of this video used to be "Let's 100% the worst sonic game." Then I played Sonic Heroes. The title has been changed accordingly, thank you all for your continued patience and support.

I miss my wife, tails.

If you really look into it, this story is really dark, the biolizard is just left to rot, needing a life support system and having no back legs, a poor sick child dies, and a poor old man wanting to better humanity is arrested and executed for seemingly no reason, and the government and G.U.N just gets away with it all in the end with no repercussion, holy crap.

"What the hell kind of shoes are those?" - Product placement shoes. A company called Soap made shoes for rail grinding and paid Sega to have Sonic wear them. (There are also some in-game billboards with the company's logo.) They've since gone out of business, so Soap Shoes are now only associated with the Sonic franchise. So Sonic apparently buys shoes at the soap store... Another company has more recently started selling a new version inspired by the failed originals & are calling them "Epic Grindshoes". I'm not sure that the market for them is more today than it was back then though...

As one of the mentioned "loved the games since I was like 10" people, watching this made me realize how many parts of the game just aren't clearly designed for newcomers 16:13 There's literally a blinking arrow sign pointing AWAY from the hidden mandatory upgrade, what were they thinking lmao

rail grinding was broken in the steam version originally you made slight ajastments with the joystick to slightly turn and stay upright on the rails and if you are upright and hold B you gain speed however the steam version for some reason has its rail controls broken so its basically impossible to do the precise tilts nessasary for some levels

I swear all these problems are caused by emulation or by newer systems. I played this on the dreamcast with absolutely none of these bugs.

I genuinely cannot wait until therm plays Sonic: Unleashed

never had a memory card so i would always speedrun the first level so my sister and I could play in the chao garden. got it on steam to replay recently, can confirm the controls are god awful

I remember someone explained once why the dialogue and audio cut each other off or came in at strange times and it was something to do with making the english voice-over for the game (japanese vers. had no issues with this) but still it is really bad. absolutely iconic

I'm cackling at all of this because I remember being equally as annoyed with things, but still played the absolute hell out of this game as a kid. If it didn't have the chao garden, I wouldn't have played it nearly as much, but man the cut scenes still make me laugh to this day.

1:45:20 "I wanna see how they made that jump, did they just see Sonic and decide 'that's the shape of a hero'?" Believe it or not, that's not too far off.

I had so much trouble when I first played SA2. I thought it was a genuinely bad game but then I saw other people play it all cool and stuff and I remembered the classic Sonic replayability factor

Dude, I don't know what the fuck was going on with your game, because half the shit I saw NEVER happened throughout my multiple playthroughs.

therm the title of this video just sent a dagger through my heart

90% Skill Issues 10% the game being a buggy mess

I cannot wait for you to get to Shadow the Hedgehog to see the thrilling conclusion of what happened in this game.

ive never seen an adult man suck this hard at this game

The video ending on Big Daddy Clem had me in stitches, I remember the stream and I thought "hey there was a guy at work who always looked like his eyes were gonna pop out and attack me".

I'm honestly really happy he hates Mission Street, because I LOATHE MISSION STREET. Every time I play through this game, I get to Mission Street and I'm like "ugh, with this sh!t again." I'm surprised he got somewhat far on the stage without the booster upgrade lmao. If you didn't grow up with this game, you will almost inevitably hate a large portion of the gameplay due to all the jank and lack of explanation for everything. I grew up with it and figured everything out, so I like it a lot. My friend did not grow up with it, he couldn't even make it to Crazy Gadget. Edit 1: I'm now seeing his experience with Final Rush. Rails are indeed very jank. I never had any issue, I just hold down "B" and maybe forward but otherwise not any other direction. Chat may've been leading him astray or something. Edit 2: Now at Dry Lagoon. He got one of the most evil, most awful random emerald placements--especially for his first time on the stage--and he missed actually getting it so many times, I am dying. Edit 3: ...nobody tell him that there are 4 extra missions for every stage in the game, including Cannon's Core.
