    Yooo i didn’t expect this video to get the traction it did but either way thank you everyone for watching! I’ve been seeing a few comments on the free DLC updates for this game and I’m very much aware about them (especially since this video was kinda outdated in a few ways because of update 2). So whenever update 3 comes out I’ll make a follow up video on all the changes made to the game because that in itself warrants a revisit to the game. Either way I’m glad everyone’s been enjoying it. New video should be out this week.

      I think youtube is messing around with their algorithm because I've seen this sentiment from several youtubers recently. Random video game review videos have been appearing in everyone's recommended despite the amount of number of subs on a channel. It's pretty neat.

    The reason the Parry doesn't have timing is because of the play testers. Kishimoto revealed the playtesters were so bad at the game he was forced to remove the timing restriction. He's acknowledged our feedback 😁 n the issue though so hopefully Update 3 will address it in some fashion.

    (as i’m sure you know) they added jump momentum in a recent update and it’s a game changer. it was fun before to traverse but now it’s even better. I have a lot of complaints about frontiers, but if they refine what they have here we can have a genuinely great game on our hands. not JUST by Sonic standards, an actual great game. i’m hyped 🙏

    Honestly I feel like if parry was called blocking instead no one would be complaining nearly as much. I feel like it was the right call though. Knowing sonic team and its "jankiness" a proper parry would have never worked and caused more frustration in players than an easy to perform one.

    Where is the question: do you think this game is something I should try?

    • @the-civil
      @the-civil  Рік тому +1

      Yeah give it a try. It’s definitely one of the most consistent 3D sonic experiences. It’s got some dumb/annoying parts but most of the 3D games are like that anyways. Especially with the updates coming out it’s honestly in a better place now than when I was making the review so I think it’s worth a shot. Also, if you think the idea of just running around a big world sounds fun you’ll have a good time.

      This game is probably most comparable to Sonic Adventure 2 as far as how the 3d gameplay feels, but even then it's the most unique 3d sonic has ever been, flawed as it is... definitely do give it a try though, the free dlc content so far has been very promising. (Somewhat unrelated but if you haven't tried Sonic Mania yet definitely give that a try especially since you love Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles!)
