I love that Dunkey keeps trying to mock certain bits of the game by being like "I don't give a hell who you are I will damn bastard hit you" but then every 3 seconds he's like "oh that was badass" or "oh they're slick on that"
He's not mocking, he's poking. Notice he's using words people expect Shadow to say but not Sonic? It's emphasis on Shadow being cooler than Sonic's PG-13 shenanigans, not that it matters because Shadow doesn't swear or have his iconic gun in this game.
@@thedman1754Yo, as a lifelong Sonic fan, I freaking love Sonic, but Lord does it have some low lows. Even some of our best games have some serious jank, and usually Dunkey takes time to take the piss out of it. Notice there is no jank to tank the piss out of. So instead he leans into jokes about Shadow being edgy, how good the game is, and as a Sonic fan this is my favorite part, the hunt for S-Rank. "I gotta wait to see what rank I got to see how cool that was." Beat "That was baaaaaadaaaaasss."
I appreciate how Dunkey is demonstrating how repeated playthroughs and score attack are fundamentals to the Sonic experience. The new younger generation of Sonic fans need to hear it.
I'm an older gamer and I cannot stand games centered around grinding for a rank on different stages. Just sucks all the fun right out for me. Yet there are some games I love to replay the shit out of, but only in their entirety. Idk what it is about stage grinding, but it halts any sense of fun I was experiencing in its tracks.
I usually don't care about ranking systems, but this game was incredibly fun to replay levels to improve my performance. They're like expertly crafted race tracks.
2:46 I love when the game references itself. P rank for pizza in pizza tower and S rank for shadow in this game? that what you call "good game design" typa game
Oh damn that explanation for Shadow's name is actually really sweet. I didn't know that. I like that. I like that a lot. It's like, it complements the edginess with goody hopeness light or whatever.
if anything, this video reminded me how much i love sonic. the games, the music, everything. i had to stop the video no less than 4 times to look for the ost and listen to the songs again.
