Why I Am NOT Buying Sonic Origins
Sonic Origins recently came out and packages four widescreen remasters of the Hedgehog's 16-bit roots. This should be the definitive way to play each of the included games -- keyword being ''should''. Let me explain why I am not buying the collection. #sega #sonicthehedgehog #critique

What REALLY Makes Sonic Adventure 2 So Divisive
Переглядів 54 тис.2 роки тому
Once upon a time, it may have seemed Sonic Adventure 2 was universally beloved, but nowadays that's evidently not the reality. Let's do a deep dive analysis and nail down what makes this game so polarizing. #Battle #Retrospective #Review 0:00 - Intro 2:35 - Dark Story 10:48 - Hero Story 19:36 - Last Story 30:15 - Presentation 38:39 - Speed Stages 44:45 - Mech Stages 51:02 - Hunt Stages 57:50 - ...
Ninja Gaiden 3 SUCKS, But Razor's Edge?
Переглядів 142 тис.2 роки тому
It's no secret Ninja Gaiden 3 was poorly received upon its release, both by critics and fans, after taking the series in a more casual, misguided direction. That said, how successful was Team Ninja's attempt of salvaging the game with Razor's Edge? #Review #Retrospective #Analysis 0:00 - Intro 1:19 - Story: The Central Theme 8:46 - Story: The Other Stuff 15:07 - (NG3) Walking & QTEs 18:17 - (NG...
Sonic Colors: Ultimate Is a DESPICABLE ''Remaster''
Переглядів 131 тис.2 роки тому
With past disasters like Sonic '06, Sonic Genesis and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric attributed to their name, one would assume Sega's top priority going forward is ensuring that all releases for their iconic mascot receive the proper care and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, Sonic Colors: Ultimate can be added to the list above for horribly mismanaged games, and in this video I explain why. #...
Can You Beat Mega Man X6 on XTREME With NO UPGRADES?
Переглядів 96 тис.2 роки тому
I can't believe I am doing this. Nearly five years after the review, I am returning to Mega Man X6 to make a ridiculous challenge video: is it possible to beat the game on Xtreme difficulty without any Weapons/Techniques, Life-Ups, Parts or Armors? #MegaMan #BlueBomber #Capcom 0:00 - Intro 1:28 - Opening Stage 1:54 - Nightmare Zero 2:53 - Amazon Area 3:32 - Inami Temple 5:57 - Laser Institute 6...
The INSANE Sequel: Ninja Gaiden II vs. Sigma 2
Переглядів 118 тис.2 роки тому
With the success of 2004's Ninja Gaiden revival, a follow up was inevitable. Suffice it to say, things got a little crazy. Like the first game, Ninja Gaiden II also has a second version, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and we'll be comparing and contrasting the two as well. #Review #Retrospective #Analysis 0:00 - Intro 1:22 - Mechanics Additions 5:28 - Mechanics Improvements 9:27 - Mechanics Critique 12:...
What Made Ninja Gaiden LEGENDARY
Переглядів 97 тис.3 роки тому
In 2004, the infamously difficult Ninja Gaiden series was revived in three dimensions with one of the most respected action titles to date. Sadly, the game seems to be sort of forgotten about nowadays, so I'm here to tell you why you should play it! #Black #Sigma #Retrospective 0:00 - Intro 1:48 - Mechanics Praise 8:03 - Mechanics Critique 13:18 - Level Design 19:08 - Difficulty Design 24:39 - ...

Accessible But Flawed | Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 (PC)
Переглядів 113 тис.5 років тому
The Mega Man X Legacy Collections recently came out, and have made the X series accessible for a whole new audience on multiple platforms. It isn't quite perfect, though, which is examined further in this review. There is also a dedicated PC section and how that version can fix video output issues that the console versions cannot. 0:00 - Intro 1:34 - Extras 3:08 - X Challenge 7:38 - Emulation Q...
Two Sides of Nostalgia | Final Fantasy IX vs. XIII

    How can a game like this be divisive?This is literally one of those games where 99% of people absolutely love it and 1% of people absolutely hate it it's hard to come across someone who actually hates this game

    Love that SEGA paid for Denuvo. The rampant bugs are already sufficient protection against piracy, because no one is pirating this collection over all the other available options.

    Even the easiest enemies, the agent-guys with electro-batons, are bad mofos. But those black spider ninja guys... damn. I hate how they turned those into the main enemy type, being weak pussies, in the sequel.

    I genuinely love X8. It’s the perfect example of a 2000s edgy reboot done right. The tone fits the series while still managing to feel like its own thing.

    Before watching the video, I think the two biggest reasons SA2 is divisive is from excessive nitpicking; not everything has to be made for everyone and different people will enjoy different things. The problem is when someone is present their opinion as fact, especially if they have zero legitimate evidence. The second thought is, and I’m 100% serious, the fandom completely and totally gaslit themselves. Sonic had a few disastrous titles after SA2, and all it takes is one or two people making a clickbait video and all of a sudden herd mentality kicks in for everyone to think Sonic was always terrible.

    They ruin ninja garden 3, 2 was ok, all they had too do is combine ninja garden black with 2 and boom 3 would of been a masterpiece, added from sigma to Black and you've got the best ninja game of all time
