I wonder if Sonic's stretchy ability came from when they were doing animation and physics tests and his joints would stretch out 50 feet long, and they were like, "Fuck this, we're keeping this in the game."
Dan's intro at the beginning makes me realize I want to play a resource management/RTS game where you play as Eggman between games, gathering resources and robotic minions to eventually take over the world.
Sonic just pays Robotnik to do evil shit since races became boring. "Hey Buttnik here's the money I got for saving the world. Go make another dumb plan.", "Why don't I just blow up the planet?", "That's dumb! Why don't you blow up the planet to summon a chthonic creature and use it to create disneyland 2.0 but dub it 'Eggman-land' so we're not sued.", "Whatever you say you fucking sociopath!"
You mean 16 bit? Sonic debuted on a 16 bit console and was ported to an 8 bit one. Anyways, only 4 sonic games had good plots, and the plots were nonexistent. Past sonic and knuckles, the plots were atrocious, rather pointless like Sonic adventure, to dark like Sonic adventure 2, or just hilariously serious like shadow the hedgehog. sonic unleashed while parts of the gameplay are seriously flawed, it knows its a game about a 3 foot tall blue anthropomorphic hedgehog and treats the story how it should be, goofy and silly. The only other option would have barely any story, which wouldn't fly for a ps3 game from 2008. Sorry about the paragraph^, I get worked up over pointless things.
Crankthatsnes Maybe. But I don't think "kids games" should think less of their audience simply because they're younger and dumb it down to an insanely slow pace just because they're younger. I mean the moment in Sonic and Knuckles where Knuckles realises he's been betrayed by Robotnik and Sonic was only trying to help and he gives a single nod of understanding and forgiveness is still one of those moments as a kid and now adult I seriously get teary-eyed over. Such simple use of storytelling but it's PERFECT. But yeah, I do agree that the "having a story because next-gen" (at the time lol) was a thing back then and they probably just put it in as an expected standard even if it makes the game worse as a result. And although Dan may have been VERY critical (perhaps unfairly so at times) it was still a funny video :3
I swear, by far the most depressing part of this game is that whenever someone actually shows emotion, or a realistic response to the fact that the world is literally ending, it's because they're possessed by demons and you have to make them stupid and emotionless again.
TheAllBlackMan I enjoyed it until it said I couldn't continue because I didn't have enough medals. How does that add any fun to the game? Just makes it feel like its F2P.
"remember when you didn't need clairvoyance to play a sonic game?" NO! Take off the rosy glasses Dan. The 2d sonics were awful for that as well. The camera showed you like 2 feet of what was ahead of you because it was so zoomed in, so the moment you built up any speed on a level you hadn't played before it was blind fucking luck if you didn't fly into something that would kill you.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever "Millions of infant children had no problem with them" you sure about that? Have you played sonic 2? that game has some insanely stupid shit in the later levels, and the final boss was pretty difficult.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever metropolis zone was notorious for the difficulty spike. most kids never even got to the final boss, or at least got stuck on silver sonic. sure its easy now but when your 6 years old its pretty difficult.
Also sometimes he believes a game is only one thing and says its boring when its many other things e.g Elite Dangerous which he calls Space Truck Sim and empty even though look didn't even bother looking for anything such as the shit tonne of combat, smuggling, pirating, mining and more.
Creamy___goodnes • The frame rate is garbage, the gameplay is either pointless, slow or incredibly difficult. How can you say this game is good? The story makes no sense, everything he made a point about is valid and this game is completely garbage.
englishhedgehog7 Please take the time to explain why the story arc goes from a legitimate story start in space (given the questionable breathing and other flaws with sonic) to stopping to eat ice-cream... also you cant enjoy a game that involves going fast when they designed all the 3D in flash...
Since when did Dan get so cynical for every single element of a game, I understand its a Nerd³'s Hell video but it just ruins it when he is overly cynical. Why is he annoyed that he was asked to create a new autosave file at the start of the game it's really not uncommon. When he actually gets to a part that is Hell'ish such as the bloody awful plot and not so good gameplay it just feels hollow and a continuation on the ranting. TL;DR I dont like listening to Dan constantly rant I'd prefer him to focus on specific elements and create good content from that.
OreOllie There are a couple things that it can be criticized for. Example the framerate, lack of logic at times, sometimes having to be a psychic to see upcoming obstacles. But he's complaining about literally EVERYTHING. I jumped off a cliff. Blame the game. They changed the controls a bit and I find the old way to be more logical because opinion. Blame the game. Doesn't even try to play the game the way it was intended and just does the square thing. Starts hating it more. It's a really biased video in my opinion. Keyword opinion. I'm allowed to have one.
In all fairness. He's a blue fucking hedgehog. Come to think of it, he's a fucking blue hedgehog who has raked in millions for a company. He's just a BLUE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!
Imho this game is decent. The only bad parts were the invisible wall, the terrible logic and very slightly bad, the quick time events. The main reason he put this in hell is because he's comparing it to the older games if I'm not mistaken.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever Trust me, I know. And I understand exactly why you commented on this, you were voicing your opinion, and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. I respect people who call this god forsaken community out, I respect you for voicing your opinion,
+Spike Parker (evilbuttfairy) Shadow the Hedgehog isn't really bad actually, and from what I've seen it's actually pretty damn good, but it's still not as good as Unleashed, so yeah, I'm confused too, little buddy.
+Doctor Uberfest Again, Shadow the Hedgehog isn't a bad game. It just has a few of those moments where it just isn't as fun. Not to mention, if you don't like the guns, you don't need them.
Dan mentioning it made me remember the Sonic comics, they were badass. I seem to specifically remember a storyline where Super Sonic could be triggered by Sonic getting hacked off or scared enough and that's kind of a problem when you had an inexplicably rich mad scientist dictator who put a ridiculous bounty on your head and for some reason you hung out in shady bars.
This is in Hell? Seriously? The game that's considered to have _ended_ the Dark Age of Sonic? The Day sections are easily on par if not better than anything in Generations and Colors, and the Night sections were decent if not fast. He hates everything because he went in with the sole intention of hating it, there wasn't even the chance of it proving him wrong, because he's going out of his way to nitpick almost literally everything and utterly failing to be entertaining because of it. This isn't even me being a butthurt fanboy, I thought the game was anywhere from poor to meh. But this video was just abysmal. Half an hour of what amounts to complaining this isn't another Sonic 3.
Shadewaltz I have to agree with you on Dan's attitude in this one, as much as I disagree that the Night sections were "decent". If I wanted to play DMC, I'd play DMC.
Shadewaltz "The game that's considered to have ended the Dark Age of Sonic?" I don't know who YOU'VE been talking to, but Sonic Colors ended the Dark Age of Sonic.
Every Sonic game is concidered to have ended the "dark age", mate. It's the same ritual every damn time. A new Sonic game comes out and all the fans yell "Sonic isn't shit anymore!" And then they go quiet for a while until the next game comes out, and then it all repeats.
Okay Dan, I get it...you incredibly dislike this game ...but...you were incredibly harsh on some of the smallest things "Why are his shoes spiky?!"...really? It's one thing critique...and it's another to whine
Nicholas Tanner That's not what I'm saying. Of course he knows what video he's making, but he shouldn't go in with a negative and cynical attitude just because it's a Hell video.
I think he's made a video about a game thinking it was going to be a hell video and then it turned out that he liked the game so turned it into an fw video
Nison545 I kind of agree it did feel like he was going out of his way to try and make the game look bad (and it is pretty bad) and to not enjoy himself it felt childish on several occasions frankly.
Cowfaic'd Realm Secret Rings wasn't really bad. It was OK. Definitely not worth revisiting if you had other options like Black Knight or Riders ZG, but it wasn't terrible.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life Oh wow, thanks for reminding me of Black Knight, that game was amazing :D A 3d sonic game with tight controls? Holy shit yes!
15:00 Just like an average day as a tourist; being hassled by street vendors and buying unnecessarily large ice-creams for kids... I feel your pain Dan!
this video was made back in a time where people hated this game the year is 2020, people now look back and praise this game along with its soundtrack Time is a weird and funny thing
This actually looks fantastic...like actually playable. Granted, my main Sonic exposure for the last 9+ months has been Retsupurae's playthrough of Sonic '06 (which is still going "strong" 38 episodes in).
***** Have you played Sonic Generations? There's no werehog in it. Classic Sonic plays like a faster version of Sonic 2, while Modern Sonic plays like the daytime gameplay of Sonic Unleashed.
This should be called "NerdCubed bitches and moans about everything while never focusing on the good in Sonic games and lets nostalgia rule how he grades the games he plays thinking that Sonic should only be in 2D despite the fact that it would never work with fans due to any good non-indie game almost always have to be 3D or else they're criticized and ridiculed until the developers go bankrupt because of failing sales." or "NerdCubed B.M.A.E.W.N.F.G.S.L.N.R.G.G.P.T.S.S.O.2D.D.F.W.N.W.F.G.N-I.G.A.A.3D.T.C.R.D.B.B.F.S." but that's kind of a mouthful so NerdCubed's Hell works for now.
Is it really fantastic or is the fact that that there has been so many awful sonic games you try to find something good about the day sections when it plays itself instead of being a good sonic game
This was really painfull to sit through. I'm not even a big fan of Unleashed, it's an average game at best. But this guy just complains every time this game tells him to do something simple. He's not even really mocking the game, just reacting to everything with an apathetic, condesending tone. Even if you want to see someone trash this game, it's extremely boring to watch.
I enjoyed this game ouo Nerdcubed hates this cuz its not what it used to be XD Its a different game. Review the game and not compare it to a game which is different! Seriosly. You want a sprite based sonic with momentum physics? Review that. I know this came from the guy who enjoyed sonic 06 but at least this game was finished and polished. Jeasus! Also your not really playing the freaking game. Your just going "ECH TAP SQUARE SQUARE SQUARE!" You admitted to being bias even at the begining! And then you blame it on the storyline?! That should mean the least to you! You review games not movies!
Ttam2 Fair enough. I guess the whole werehog part was a little gimmicky. But does that mean it still cant be enjoyed? For what it is, it aint half bad. It aint speed yeah but it also aint half bad.
I wanna see a series where Dan plays all the way through every Sonic game and listen to him eventually lose the will to keep playing on once he's gone past Sonic 3 and they start giving him a story...
Given it was the least broken sonic game until generations or colors. This game actually seemed to have some amount of quality control, people just didn't like how slow the werehog was
No worries at all bro - no harm in an honest question :D. I'll break it down by what I like, then what most people moan about. To me at least, what's good in Overwatch is the gameplay, it's really fluid and every player has loads of choices on how to adapt to each situation based on the map, their hero and the heroes the enemy are playing. Most people would moan there aren't enough maps, but in an arena shooter I don't think that's a bad thing, as it gives you opportunity to learn each map in depth, where all the health packs are, shortcuts etc. The other big moan is "oh it's just TF2" but that's just being closed minded. Yes there are elements of TF2, but it takes those and builds on them, expanding the hero / class pool means there's way more choice for the players to approach a situation however they choose. Effectively you've got to hold way more potential situations and counterplays in your head than in something like TF2. The maps also look unique rather than endless variations on "Orange quarry with some buildings, maybe one science facility". In addition, there are more open approaches to each map with way more shortcuts and trickeries to get around which ties neatly into the heroes mostly having movement abilities to make the gameplay more dynamic than "run in and shoot let's hope I win". Next moan, "but CS:GO is better". Far as I'm concerned this point is irrelevant. If you want to go play yet another copy-pasted dudes in camo / bulletproof armor variant modern military shooter that's dominated by snipers - go take your pick. I personally happen to want to play a game with actual personality and life once in a while. I respect CoD / Battlefield / MoH / CS's place, it's just not a universal Jesus game like many think it is. Nor is Overwatch. At the end of the day, the game won't be for everyone; there are people who prefer a majority deathmatch shooter ala CoD / Halo etc, where kill/death means the world to all and sundry; there are people who just won't be able to watch the repeating maps. Heck there are some who just don't like shooters. And all of that is ok. Me, I like it because I've never played the same match twice. The enormous variety of options in map and hero design means everyone is going to treat things differently and you always have to adapt to something. I like that. Even when the enemy goes for a turret and defend strategy, there's always a way through it and that way will be different each time because of the heroes and players on your own team. Lastly, there's just the unabashed fun of everyone playing as the same hero and having some silly mayhem with grenades, or ice walls, or teleports etc just flying in every direction. Yeah you'll lose, but it was damn fun.
There is such a thing as being too negative in these kind of reviews. In particular, complaining about the parts of the game that most people actually enjoyed, such as the daytime segments, isn't a particularly good idea. Actually playing the game to find out what is bad and what isn't might be a better alternative to just assuming every part of it is bad.
14:35 & 26:21 Well what do you expect them to do at this point in time? They don’t know how to put the planet back together. Even if they did somehow, where would they go and how would they get there?
Mart Faasse ps3 games never really had the best frame rates thats the thing. Like assassins creed constantly drops frames on ps3 but keeps a solid 60 fps on PC usually. Its really something dan always complains about ever PS3 hell video but the ps3 was never the best at keeping up a steady framerate when too much was on screen
Remember when Sonic games were good? Back when it was just a blue hedgehog running in one direction as fast as he could? Before SEGA tried to be smart and make him a different game everytime? Ahh memories...
TheHappy_P0tat0 Actually, Unleashed, Colors, the Rush games, Black Knight, and the Riders games (except for the Kinect one) were all good as far as I know, and I played all of the ones I listed here (sadly even the kinect riders game)
When there's a complaint about how it tells you there's autosave, you know it's gonna be a 30 minute tantrum about every shade that Dan doesn't like in the sky.
Nerd I know you grew up with the classics but NOT EVERYONE WANTS 2D!!! I loved sonic generations but you saying the only 2D bits are good and anything 3D is hell is just insulting.
Yes, this game may have a few faults in it but their are still some good things about it. The day stages are amazing, the scenery/design of objects like buildings in the environment are well detailed, they have somewhat good animated cutscenes, decent story, a great soundtrack (don't tell me you don't like the endless possibilities instrumental), and overall a great mechanic to increase gameplay time (collecting the moon and sun medals to advance through the stages). The only bad things about this game are that some of the side missions are impossible/easy as fuck, the night stages were not bad but not that good, EGGMAN LAND (that stage can suck my nuts in hell), the bosses are not that well inspired (they are fucking animals, a beetle, bird, fish, spider, and a moray eel, seriously Sega, you couldn't get a more creative design team. At least Dark Gaia, the Shamar boss, and the Egg Dragoon were somewhat creative), I dashed through 7 continents to power the Chaos Emeralds, WHY NOT GIVE ME SUPER SONIC, like Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations!
nerds right, the night segments are basically God of War -use O to do quick time events on enemys -using square and triangle for combat - the way that they open doors by tapping O -getting orbs from enemys
"He just does that because he's angry." ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION!?! The game is clearly showing that Sonic's energy is connected to monster and he's having a reaction. Instead of being ready to complain about everything, maybe actually wait to judge the game. Not gonna pretend like this is the best game ever, but you clearly came in with some bias.
Shady Doorags Because that makes so much sence, that writing there is so bad why would you pay anymind to it since when you do it makes less sence than him just changing because he is angry
I see the clues but the problem isn't the cinamtics the cinamtics are fine, the logic behind this, it raises more question. I knew he was struggling and probably on in a ton of pain but I don't really care he walked right into it, so yhe only character trait I got from him is he isn't really that clever, like at all. And I don't care about the explination since I can't care about this character. The writing is either predictable or boring which is a sign of good writing, not bad writing but could easily have been better and that is the problem I have with all sonic games they scrap everything and start over with ever game instead of refining it and making a great game instead of a okay sonic game. The game is medicore and like a lot of sonic games could be alot better than it is already. Too me wasted talent is worse than a bad game. That cutscene looks really good but the rest of the game doesn't have the same feel and it end up feeling like it goes from competent to incompetent/unrefind alot
|Fever| H-GAMES Dude seriously damn near everything is better than 06, except Boom. Actually, those are the two bad games. And maybe Generations 3DS, but that is just my opinion.
Hey Dan one thing that's in common between video games and movies is that you can suspend your disbelief and really live through them. So what if Sonic went through space without dying, it's just a game.
The story: 3/10 The graphics, engine and load times: 7/10 (100000000/10 compared to sonic 06 considering they're on the same hardware) The regular sonic gameplay parts: 9/10 The 'werehog' sonic gameplay parts: 1/10
I get people don 'think like the whole "Sonic turns into a wolfhog (because were for some reason means man!) he gets slower but think about how he looks when he turns into that. He gets a TON of extra fur that slows him down! He wears kleets! have you noticed that!? Ever try running with actual spikes on your shoes? No I think not. Also everyone is saying this game is terrible well I say this game is FANTASTIC but the graphics could use a upgrade in my opinion. I mean that's really the only problem Nerd cubed was just bitching about how you hit a enemy when it's dead it gets back up. Like I almost fell asleep watching this because he had no energy because he was acting like this game was worse than Sonic 06!
"just do the 2D bits from generations", you clearly don't understand that you don't stand for an entire fanbase! I fucking love the boost formula because... thats sonic to me. if I want to play a 2D platformer I'll play a mario game, the boost formula is unique, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, you shouldn't be telling a developing studio to be like every other 2d platformer, sonic isnt the only game series out there
I'd like to know why he wants Eggman to destroy the planet even though he has his own space station. You do know he just blew up the planet to harness the power of the monster inside so he can threaten the planet and build Eggman Land on the planet right? He's a conqueror. Not a serial killer.
Your daily reminder that sonic drowns in water but breathes in space.
TheCookiezPlz Don't all hedgehogs?
Jumpin' Jazz Unfortunately I can only confirm the former.
It was a misunderstanding about hedgehogs that the Devs refuse to acknowledge to this day.
BlackXixo Those have to be some sick swimming lessons.
Is it only in colors that Sonic can swim?
Jumpin' Jazz 1 second Ill go test. NASA!!!
I always thought Robotnik got his funding from all those casino cities he owns, there's always a casino level in sonic and Robotnik owns them all
and the slave labour from all those animals he kidnaps
I wonder if Sonic's stretchy ability came from when they were doing animation and physics tests and his joints would stretch out 50 feet long, and they were like, "Fuck this, we're keeping this in the game."
Actually it’s consistent with every other dark Gaia spawn having stretchy limbs. Seems to just be an aspect of the entity.
Dan's intro at the beginning makes me realize I want to play a resource management/RTS game where you play as Eggman between games, gathering resources and robotic minions to eventually take over the world.
evil genius is the closest I've ever played to that
Sonic just pays Robotnik to do evil shit since races became boring.
"Hey Buttnik here's the money I got for saving the world. Go make another dumb plan.",
"Why don't I just blow up the planet?",
"That's dumb! Why don't you blow up the planet to summon a chthonic creature and use it to create disneyland 2.0 but dub it 'Eggman-land' so we're not sued.",
"Whatever you say you fucking sociopath!"
This made me laugh more than the second half of the video.
But that's just a theory, a game theory. Thank you for watching
Sonic. Exe I thought you did. But whatevs.
Sonic. Exe "..."?
Sonic. Exe Oh. I have a different preferred method of getting that across, like so: *sigh*
Good to know, though.

I don't feel it is fair to criticize a kids game plot for being to goofy. Thats like saying a pornos bad because there's too much sex.
Sonic fans who played since the 16-bit era (like me), expect good things from a long loved franchise
You mean 16 bit? Sonic debuted on a 16 bit console and was ported to an 8 bit one. Anyways, only 4 sonic games had good plots, and the plots were nonexistent. Past sonic and knuckles, the plots were atrocious, rather pointless like Sonic adventure, to dark like Sonic adventure 2, or just hilariously serious like shadow the hedgehog. sonic unleashed while parts of the gameplay are seriously flawed, it knows its a game about a 3 foot tall blue anthropomorphic hedgehog and treats the story how it should be, goofy and silly. The only other option would have barely any story, which wouldn't fly for a ps3 game from 2008.
Sorry about the paragraph^, I get worked up over pointless things.
Crankthatsnes Maybe. But I don't think "kids games" should think less of their audience simply because they're younger and dumb it down to an insanely slow pace just because they're younger.
I mean the moment in Sonic and Knuckles where Knuckles realises he's been betrayed by Robotnik and Sonic was only trying to help and he gives a single nod of understanding and forgiveness is still one of those moments as a kid and now adult I seriously get teary-eyed over. Such simple use of storytelling but it's PERFECT.
But yeah, I do agree that the "having a story because next-gen" (at the time lol) was a thing back then and they probably just put it in as an expected standard even if it makes the game worse as a result. And although Dan may have been VERY critical (perhaps unfairly so at times) it was still a funny video :3
You know damn well that Sonic team doesn't make these games for kids anymore.
***** Yeah. I remember this as a younger kid. I loved this back then.
"Hey the world exploded, wanna buy an ice cream?"
OF COURSE.
I swear, by far the most depressing part of this game is that whenever someone actually shows emotion, or a realistic response to the fact that the world is literally ending, it's because they're possessed by demons and you have to make them stupid and emotionless again.
The world isn't ending, it's just split apart
Since the Were in Werehog means man Sonic is technically a WolfHog, I think.
Actually a Hogwolf XD
wouldn't it be hedgewolf?
Were means man it means manhog.
Good old Yahtzee
This game is from my childhood i miss these old days
Am I the only one who actually enjoyed Sonic Unleashed in its entirety?
No. Most people do.
You and the other 7 year olds.
englishhedgehog7 i had it for the wii i played about a third of it and sort of liked it
TheAllBlackMan I enjoyed it until it said I couldn't continue because I didn't have enough medals. How does that add any fun to the game? Just makes it feel like its F2P.
Listen, you're not the only one...
"remember when you didn't need clairvoyance to play a sonic game?"
NO! Take off the rosy glasses Dan. The 2d sonics were awful for that as well. The camera showed you like 2 feet of what was ahead of you because it was so zoomed in, so the moment you built up any speed on a level you hadn't played before it was blind fucking luck if you didn't fly into something that would kill you.
Mad much, calm down bro it's just a video game and nerd isn't that bad he's just angry at Sega for producing shitty games.
'Ello Guv'ner all i have to say is get gud
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever When did i say i struggled? They're do-able, it's just not fun to do it.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever "Millions of infant children had no problem with them"
you sure about that? Have you played sonic 2? that game has some insanely stupid shit in the later levels, and the final boss was pretty difficult.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever metropolis zone was notorious for the difficulty spike. most kids never even got to the final boss, or at least got stuck on silver sonic. sure its easy now but when your 6 years old its pretty difficult.
Dan: "Remeber when you didn't need clairvoyance to play a Sonic game?"
Me: "No."
Wow. After Sonic 06 I watch this and my reaction is 'that looks like a fun game'. This is what Sonic 06 does to you. Ye gods.
Thats because this game is good.. Dan goes through 3D sonic games with a bad mindset.. Which is downside of his channel..
Also sometimes he believes a game is only one thing and says its boring when its many other things e.g Elite Dangerous which he calls Space Truck Sim and empty even though look didn't even bother looking for anything such as the shit tonne of combat, smuggling, pirating, mining and more.
This game is amazing.
Creamy___goodnes • The frame rate is garbage, the gameplay is either pointless, slow or incredibly difficult. How can you say this game is good? The story makes no sense, everything he made a point about is valid and this game is completely garbage.
Zakethekid how does the story not make sense?
To be fair, you can't really expect to have fun if you go in, acting so cynical :/
he's not supposed to have fun if its n3 hell
***** That title's been taken already.
Kenneth Angelo All of us Brits are cynical, its just that only 1 has the actual title and he isn't even close to the most cynical amongst us.
englishhedgehog7 Please take the time to explain why the story arc goes from a legitimate story start in space (given the questionable breathing and other flaws with sonic) to stopping to eat ice-cream... also you cant enjoy a game that involves going fast when they designed all the 3D in flash...
englishhedgehog7 Just out of curiosity, what'd you think of Sonic 06?
Since when did Dan get so cynical for every single element of a game, I understand its a Nerd³'s Hell video but it just ruins it when he is overly cynical. Why is he annoyed that he was asked to create a new autosave file at the start of the game it's really not uncommon. When he actually gets to a part that is Hell'ish such as the bloody awful plot and not so good gameplay it just feels hollow and a continuation on the ranting.
TL;DR I dont like listening to Dan constantly rant I'd prefer him to focus on specific elements and create good content from that.
Apologies about my terrible writing. I type faster then I think as a result miss words out.
How can you create good content from games that makes Dan miserable
OreOllie There are a couple things that it can be criticized for. Example the framerate, lack of logic at times, sometimes having to be a psychic to see upcoming obstacles.
But he's complaining about literally EVERYTHING.
I jumped off a cliff. Blame the game. They changed the controls a bit and I find the old way to be more logical because opinion. Blame the game. Doesn't even try to play the game the way it was intended and just does the square thing. Starts hating it more.
It's a really biased video in my opinion.
Keyword opinion. I'm allowed to have one.
***** just like Dan's allowed to have an opinion! Opinions are inherently biased! Your argument is nonsensical! Exclamation points!!!
Thomas Gardiner Right...
And I am voicing my opinion in saying that his hatrid towards the game comes from nonsensical points.
When one of your favorite UA-camrs references another one of your favorite UA-camrs.
CinemaSins, "Why isn't Cinemasins doing this video?!"
He also referenced Cinemasins in his Ni no Kuni video with the "Reading... *ding*"
I make a pilgrimage to this video every now and again. It's the funniest playthrough vid Daniel has ever made IMO
"I want a game where sonic dies at the start and robotnik wins"
Wish granted. That wasn't much good either
"Remember when you didn't need clairvoyance when you played a sonic game?" No
Nobody does
I remember playing this. I found it entertaining and fun. Hated chip though, he annoyed the shit out of me.
Same , but I liked Chip !
I can never find myself liking Sonic as a character. His personality and attitude makes me want to slap him.
blobbem Finally someone who agrees!
In all fairness. He's a blue fucking hedgehog.
Come to think of it, he's a fucking blue hedgehog who has raked in millions for a company.
He's just a BLUE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!
+TheDannyMan You're too slow! Come on, step it up!
CUMON STEPP IT UPP!
blobbem didn't know he had either of those
Can you imagine... cinemasins reviews cutscenes...
***** Charii5 in a nutshell. Hell, he even did this game already!
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life who's charii5
Look him up, dude. Educate yourself.
+Christian Mac no offense
alex ryan
Nope. Charii5. Maybe GamingSins does it too, but I did mean Charii5.
i feel alone in the fact that i like the werehog stages.
I like the slower paced stages that focus on combat as well as the fast paced normal stages.
HydraDude / Corgi you're not alone man I loved those stages more
Chazz Casper I personally think the day-time levels are overrated.
You can like what you like
Everyone can have their own opinion
I only got the Wii version of the game, I think Sonic team did well with motion controls in terms of combat.
Imho this game is decent. The only bad parts were the invisible wall, the terrible logic and very slightly bad, the quick time events. The main reason he put this in hell is because he's comparing it to the older games if I'm not mistaken.
***** ...Your logic is seemingly flawed, if this was the only sonic game it would be better? That makes no sense.
***** Well, just to know, what does this game lack compared to the others; other than momentum? o-o
Welp, you know what we need now, ladies and gentlemen.
Nerd³ Completes...Sonic Unleashed.
A hell+completes crossover? Just ask him too quit life damnit.
Quite Possibly, The Best Ever Trust me, I know.
And I understand exactly why you commented on this, you were voicing your opinion, and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that.
I respect people who call this god forsaken community out, I respect you for voicing your opinion,
W8 I take that back.
I actually really liked this game, loved the brawler part, and the running during day was actually pretty fast! Loved it D:
u put this game in hell... u put shadow the hedgehog in plays.....
+Spike Parker (evilbuttfairy) Shadow the Hedgehog isn't really bad actually, and from what I've seen it's actually pretty damn good, but it's still not as good as Unleashed, so yeah, I'm confused too, little buddy.
+Chuckle Fuckle Plays is for the comedy stuff. A bad game can go in a Plays video if he's doing it for comedy.
+Spike Parker (evilbuttfairy)
Doesn't mean Shadow's good. Such a bad game makes a really good comedy video.
i actually enjoyed unleashed but the controls for shadow kinda suck :/ i just prefer unleashed
+Doctor Uberfest Again, Shadow the Hedgehog isn't a bad game. It just has a few of those moments where it just isn't as fun. Not to mention, if you don't like the guns, you don't need them.
Dan mentioning it made me remember the Sonic comics, they were badass. I seem to specifically remember a storyline where Super Sonic could be triggered by Sonic getting hacked off or scared enough and that's kind of a problem when you had an inexplicably rich mad scientist dictator who put a ridiculous bounty on your head and for some reason you hung out in shady bars.
Gotta say that the spaceship battle cutscene looked pretty darn good. Can't say the same for the rest of the game...
This is in Hell? Seriously? The game that's considered to have _ended_ the Dark Age of Sonic?
The Day sections are easily on par if not better than anything in Generations and Colors, and the Night sections were decent if not fast.
He hates everything because he went in with the sole intention of hating it, there wasn't even the chance of it proving him wrong, because he's going out of his way to nitpick almost literally everything and utterly failing to be entertaining because of it.
This isn't even me being a butthurt fanboy, I thought the game was anywhere from poor to meh. But this video was just abysmal. Half an hour of what amounts to complaining this isn't another Sonic 3.
Shadewaltz I have to agree with you on Dan's attitude in this one, as much as I disagree that the Night sections were "decent". If I wanted to play DMC, I'd play DMC.
Shadewaltz "The game that's considered to have ended the Dark Age of Sonic?"
I don't know who YOU'VE been talking to, but Sonic Colors ended the Dark Age of Sonic.
Sonic colors ended the dark age. Sonic boom sat it's ass right back in it.
Every Sonic game is concidered to have ended the "dark age", mate. It's the same ritual every damn time. A new Sonic game comes out and all the fans yell "Sonic isn't shit anymore!" And then they go quiet for a while until the next game comes out, and then it all repeats.
Okay Dan, I get it...you incredibly dislike this game
...but...you were incredibly harsh on some of the smallest things
"Why are his shoes spiky?!"...really?
It's one thing critique...and it's another to whine
Honestly it just felt like the whole video he was trying to find a way not to enjoy it
Dan's making a lot of contradictions in this video. You shouldn't go into the game with a mindset that it's going to be a Hell video.
Nicholas Tanner That's not what I'm saying. Of course he knows what video he's making, but he shouldn't go in with a negative and cynical attitude just because it's a Hell video.
I think he's made a video about a game thinking it was going to be a hell video and then it turned out that he liked the game so turned it into an fw video
***** The sonic stages are good fun.
Nison545 I kind of agree it did feel like he was going out of his way to try and make the game look bad (and it is pretty bad) and to not enjoy himself it felt childish on several occasions frankly.
Nison545 Dont need a negative and cynical attitude to think this game is arse.
When you said 'the game literally before this one', did you mean sonic and the secret rings? People looked shit in that too Dan..
Cowfaic'd Realm Secret Rings wasn't really bad. It was OK. Definitely not worth revisiting if you had other options like Black Knight or Riders ZG, but it wasn't terrible.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life Oh wow, thanks for reminding me of Black Knight, that game was amazing :D
A 3d sonic game with tight controls? Holy shit yes!
Aw yiss bro
"My nose has started bleeding but I'll deal with that later, I just think my brain is trying to kill itself." ~Dan
I REALLY LOVE NERD CUBED'S HELL!!!!! Sooo funny.
Your a really good and funny youtuber Dan!!!!!

Sorry I was typing while watching lol
432neptune They confuse "your" with "you're" in hell? I REPENT.

Really? ... Really? Fml anyways...
That Blind Guy well hell-o that blind guy that makes bad puns!
That Blind Guy I was ABOUT to criticize you're spelling, 'till i noticed the ATROCIOUS pun.
***** Your* FOR GOD SAKE
It may not be a game of the century but this doesn't look that bad
15:00 Just like an average day as a tourist; being hassled by street vendors and buying unnecessarily large ice-creams for kids...
I feel your pain Dan!
this video was made back in a time where people hated this game
the year is 2020, people now look back and praise this game along with its soundtrack
Time is a weird and funny thing
This actually looks fantastic...like actually playable. Granted, my main Sonic exposure for the last 9+ months has been Retsupurae's playthrough of Sonic '06 (which is still going "strong" 38 episodes in).
Adahop It's enjoyable. Has its moments. The Day stages are often fun, but they're spoiled by the shitty DMC/GoW expy Night stages.
Adahop Sonic Generations is kinda like this but with Classic Sonic instead of the werehog.
***** Have you played Sonic Generations? There's no werehog in it. Classic Sonic plays like a faster version of Sonic 2, while Modern Sonic plays like the daytime gameplay of Sonic Unleashed.
I remember this being part of my childhood
Me too at the time I loved it
Same I played it on my wii
Hahahahaha, you're all too young.
+Ben Drowned lol
8 years is quite a while ago.
Sonic unleashed is great accept for the medal collecting thing
This should be called "NerdCubed bitches and moans about everything while never focusing on the good in Sonic games and lets nostalgia rule how he grades the games he plays thinking that Sonic should only be in 2D despite the fact that it would never work with fans due to any good non-indie game almost always have to be 3D or else they're criticized and ridiculed until the developers go bankrupt because of failing sales." or "NerdCubed B.M.A.E.W.N.F.G.S.L.N.R.G.G.P.T.S.S.O.2D.D.F.W.N.W.F.G.N-I.G.A.A.3D.T.C.R.D.B.B.F.S." but that's kind of a mouthful so NerdCubed's Hell works for now.
Sonic: "better not let anyone see me!"
Talks to everyone
Sonic Unleashed is fantastic during day stages. The night time stages...meh.
Is it really fantastic or is the fact that that there has been so many awful sonic games you try to find something good about the day sections when it plays itself instead of being a good sonic game
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Rekt
MrTrollTroller NO ITS A SHIT GAME
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) No. The day sections are pretty good in Unleashed.
OH GOD EGGMANLAND!
This was really painfull to sit through. I'm not even a big fan of Unleashed, it's an average game at best. But this guy just complains every time this game tells him to do something simple. He's not even really mocking the game, just reacting to everything with an apathetic, condesending tone. Even if you want to see someone trash this game, it's extremely boring to watch.
The British for you
This is my favorite video, I've watched Dan trash my favorite games and I love it
You obviously don't understand humour. This game was bland and if a game is bland and asks you to do boring things, you'd complain too.
@@Daniel-nn8mr Dude.
You can stop gobbling his cock, I can hardly hear you.
can someone please introduce Dr Robotnik to cheese wire
***** exactly
This made me laugh more then it should😂
I wonder if dan ever hit the disk with a sledgehammer
"I've got to be careful who sees me like this." Then walks around talking with everybody 😂😂😂
"if I play the game like a retard it's bad"
Woah...
I enjoyed this game
ouo
Nerdcubed hates this cuz its not what it used to be
XD
Its a different game. Review the game and not compare it to a game which is different! Seriosly. You want a sprite based sonic with momentum physics? Review that.
I know this came from the guy who enjoyed sonic 06 but at least this game was finished and polished. Jeasus!
Also your not really playing the freaking game. Your just going "ECH TAP SQUARE SQUARE SQUARE!" You admitted to being bias even at the begining!
And then you blame it on the storyline?! That should mean the least to you! You review games not movies!
***** im sorry to say that m8, but this game sux major dik
Ivan Vladimir
How?
+Four Strings Re-tuned It seems like a different game that had sonic inserted last minute.
Ttam2
Fair enough. I guess the whole werehog part was a little gimmicky. But does that mean it still cant be enjoyed? For what it is, it aint half bad. It aint speed yeah but it also aint half bad.
I quite enjoyed this game to, and I always wonder why people say its so bad.
'Fuck off with your Dark Gaia, we are Light Gaia' I see Dan has played this before.
He said "or" not "we're".
I wanna see a series where Dan plays all the way through every Sonic game and listen to him eventually lose the will to keep playing on once he's gone past Sonic 3 and they start giving him a story...
Given it was the least broken sonic game until generations or colors. This game actually seemed to have some amount of quality control, people just didn't like how slow the werehog was
I have one positive thing to say about this game, those shadow looking guys would probably be nifty in their own game.
You've probably never played it before.. Its pretty enjoyable..
Doggo • I did, didn't like it very much
I literally had it with Dan hating on decent games, seriously there are so many videos where you don't give the game a chance...
THEsmallPRO He literally got through half a level by pressing square until he was interrupted by a QTE.
THEsmallPRO So I should kill myself because you were getting too sensitive over Dan's video?
THEsmallPRO woah calm down there buddy
Demon Rantz lol ur stoopid
THEsmallPRO You're the stupid one, you can't even fucking spell!
13:12 Great. Now all I see is an Overwatch map, what have these games done to me!
No worries at all bro - no harm in an honest question :D. I'll break it down by what I like, then what most people moan about.
To me at least, what's good in Overwatch is the gameplay, it's really fluid and every player has loads of choices on how to adapt to each situation based on the map, their hero and the heroes the enemy are playing.
Most people would moan there aren't enough maps, but in an arena shooter I don't think that's a bad thing, as it gives you opportunity to learn each map in depth, where all the health packs are, shortcuts etc.
The other big moan is "oh it's just TF2" but that's just being closed minded. Yes there are elements of TF2, but it takes those and builds on them, expanding the hero / class pool means there's way more choice for the players to approach a situation however they choose. Effectively you've got to hold way more potential situations and counterplays in your head than in something like TF2. The maps also look unique rather than endless variations on "Orange quarry with some buildings, maybe one science facility". In addition, there are more open approaches to each map with way more shortcuts and trickeries to get around which ties neatly into the heroes mostly having movement abilities to make the gameplay more dynamic than "run in and shoot let's hope I win".
Next moan, "but CS:GO is better". Far as I'm concerned this point is irrelevant. If you want to go play yet another copy-pasted dudes in camo / bulletproof armor variant modern military shooter that's dominated by snipers - go take your pick. I personally happen to want to play a game with actual personality and life once in a while. I respect CoD / Battlefield / MoH / CS's place, it's just not a universal Jesus game like many think it is. Nor is Overwatch.
At the end of the day, the game won't be for everyone; there are people who prefer a majority deathmatch shooter ala CoD / Halo etc, where kill/death means the world to all and sundry; there are people who just won't be able to watch the repeating maps. Heck there are some who just don't like shooters. And all of that is ok.
Me, I like it because I've never played the same match twice. The enormous variety of options in map and hero design means everyone is going to treat things differently and you always have to adapt to something. I like that. Even when the enemy goes for a turret and defend strategy, there's always a way through it and that way will be different each time because of the heroes and players on your own team.
Lastly, there's just the unabashed fun of everyone playing as the same hero and having some silly mayhem with grenades, or ice walls, or teleports etc just flying in every direction. Yeah you'll lose, but it was damn fun.
Awh, thank you! Very sweet of you to say so
If there's one thing you can rely on in a sonic game.
The soundtrack always slaps
The response to this was hardly negative, the fact that this is a hell video gave it unnecessary bias
NERD³'s hell is hilarious.
There is such a thing as being too negative in these kind of reviews. In particular, complaining about the parts of the game that most people actually enjoyed, such as the daytime segments, isn't a particularly good idea.
Actually playing the game to find out what is bad and what isn't might be a better alternative to just assuming every part of it is bad.
And here is MORE Game Theory proof that gamers don't want innovation.
Personally, I love this game. i don't see the big problems with it.
14:35 & 26:21 Well what do you expect them to do at this point in time? They don’t know how to put the planet back together. Even if they did somehow, where would they go and how would they get there?
5:30 tentical thing akin to henti and then he makes naughty sounds, i think he summoned that thing for... other reasons then taking over the world
+Wyatt Williams That's a lot of effort for wanting to get fucked by tentacles, but when you're horny you don't really think straight.
Nerd³'s Hell... Sonic Unleashed
Nerd³'s FW... Sonic R
Seems legit.
Complains about framerate, playing it on PS3. :|
loopysausage so? it's still bad framerate
...
Mart Faasse ps3 games never really had the best frame rates thats the thing. Like assassins creed constantly drops frames on ps3 but keeps a solid 60 fps on PC usually. Its really something dan always complains about ever PS3 hell video but the ps3 was never the best at keeping up a steady framerate when too much was on screen
***** lol and nobody knows why...
***** it's because game developers sucked at programming games for the ps3 that's why you'd have drops in frame rate
Remember when Sonic games were good?
Back when it was just a blue hedgehog running in one direction as fast as he could?
Before SEGA tried to be smart and make him a different game everytime?
Ahh memories...
TheHappy_P0tat0 *ahem* sonic colours,sonic generations,sonic lost world *ahem*
Nobelz Generations too.
Such wonderful anomalies...
i think those are good modern titles
TheHappy_P0tat0 Actually, Unleashed, Colors, the Rush games, Black Knight, and the Riders games (except for the Kinect one) were all good as far as I know, and I played all of the ones I listed here (sadly even the kinect riders game)
Pepperidge farm rememers
Anyone who complains about "werehog" shouldn't use the word "burger" or a hundred other word parts that have been reanalyzed in English.
When there's a complaint about how it tells you there's autosave, you know it's gonna be a 30 minute tantrum about every shade that Dan doesn't like in the sky.
lol i check if the save symbol isnt somewhere when i turn my games or consoles of becuse i actuallly lost a safe file in Farcry2 that way ._.
Nerd I know you grew up with the classics but NOT EVERYONE WANTS 2D!!! I loved sonic generations but you saying the only 2D bits are good and anything 3D is hell is just insulting.
of course not as well but come on! not every 3D sonic game is complete HELL (only most of them...)
Yes, this game may have a few faults in it but their are still some good things about it. The day stages are amazing, the scenery/design of objects like buildings in the environment are well detailed, they have somewhat good animated cutscenes, decent story, a great soundtrack (don't tell me you don't like the endless possibilities instrumental), and overall a great mechanic to increase gameplay time (collecting the moon and sun medals to advance through the stages). The only bad things about this game are that some of the side missions are impossible/easy as fuck, the night stages were not bad but not that good, EGGMAN LAND (that stage can suck my nuts in hell), the bosses are not that well inspired (they are fucking animals, a beetle, bird, fish, spider, and a moray eel, seriously Sega, you couldn't get a more creative design team. At least Dark Gaia, the Shamar boss, and the Egg Dragoon were somewhat creative), I dashed through 7 continents to power the Chaos Emeralds, WHY NOT GIVE ME SUPER SONIC, like Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations!
When there's a Nerd3 Hell video that's over 30 minutes it's like a nice long movie that I can watch curled up with a blanket.
Awh
nerds right, the night segments are basically God of War
-use O to do quick time events on enemys
-using square and triangle for combat
- the way that they open doors by
tapping O
-getting orbs from enemys
"He just does that because he's angry."
ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION!?! The game is clearly showing that Sonic's energy is connected to monster and he's having a reaction. Instead of being ready to complain about everything, maybe actually wait to judge the game.
Not gonna pretend like this is the best game ever, but you clearly came in with some bias.
Shady Doorags Because that makes so much sence, that writing there is so bad why would you pay anymind to it since when you do it makes less sence than him just changing because he is angry
I see the clues but the problem isn't the cinamtics the cinamtics are fine, the logic behind this, it raises more question. I knew he was struggling and probably on in a ton of pain but I don't really care he walked right into it, so yhe only character trait I got from him is he isn't really that clever, like at all. And I don't care about the explination since I can't care about this character. The writing is either predictable or boring which is a sign of good writing, not bad writing but could easily have been better and that is the problem I have with all sonic games they scrap everything and start over with ever game instead of refining it and making a great game instead of a okay sonic game. The game is medicore and like a lot of sonic games could be alot better than it is already. Too me wasted talent is worse than a bad game. That cutscene looks really good but the rest of the game doesn't have the same feel and it end up feeling like it goes from competent to incompetent/unrefind alot
He does play with nostalgia goggles, I've gotten tired of the hell series.
Sega should make animations instead of shitty games.
Crafter12345 And then Sonic Boom happened
TheFirenze114 I've heard Sonic Boom (the show) is actually pretty good.
***** I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard the complete opposite.
TheFirenze114
Different strokes, I suppose.
I bet you've never even HEARD of Sonic Colors, and Generations.
This is still better than 06...
|Fever| H-GAMES Dude seriously damn near everything is better than 06, except Boom. Actually, those are the two bad games. And maybe Generations 3DS, but that is just my opinion.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life I almost completed Unleashed, but couldn't bother with the last few Werehog stages..
Really? Cos I thought most of the Werehog stages were better than the Hedgehog stages.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life I hated the balancing shit and yeah... They were okay I guess..
But a few of the day stages were fairly badass.
at 24:55 you said, and I quote, "The fucking planet shat- Did none of you read the papers?" I can see it now.....WORLD TAKES HUGE DUMP....
3:30 The funny thing is, CinemaSins actually did a video on this game!
Oh, and they also make pretty much all of the same jokes about the cinematics.
sorry, can't say i agree with you. i love this game.
Lol 1 like
***** omfg mom get the camera XD
***** dude, he managed 31...
***** and im saying it's 31 now *facepalm*
***** yes...
That game isnt that bad... could've been worse *cough cough* 06 *cough cough*
You okay there? You seem to have a bad cough talking about an abomination of a game. That's happened to me before.
I feel like I'm one of the only people who actually likes this game
Hey Dan one thing that's in common between video games and movies is that you can suspend your disbelief and really live through them. So what if Sonic went through space without dying, it's just a game.
Talks about frame-rate,hasn't played jungle joyride 10/10
Dan would be excellent at CinemaSins!
***** kinda Dan Isnt as much of a smart ass as cinemasin's but dan's hella' funny
This was worse then that ign review of this game
Bob Lon no fanboy
The story: 3/10
The graphics, engine and load times: 7/10 (100000000/10 compared to sonic 06 considering they're on the same hardware)
The regular sonic gameplay parts: 9/10
The 'werehog' sonic gameplay parts: 1/10
I get people don 'think like the whole "Sonic turns into a wolfhog (because were for some reason means man!) he gets slower but think about how he looks when he turns into that. He gets a TON of extra fur that slows him down! He wears kleets! have you noticed that!? Ever try running with actual spikes on your shoes? No I think not. Also everyone is saying this game is terrible well I say this game is FANTASTIC but the graphics could use a upgrade in my opinion. I mean that's really the only problem Nerd cubed was just bitching about how you hit a enemy when it's dead it gets back up. Like I almost fell asleep watching this because he had no energy because he was acting like this game was worse than Sonic 06!
No way are they!
+David Wright yes way are they
+Jobm8tty's Army the fact that he gets spikes on his shoes doesn't even make sense though
+iceteaaddict I'll admit I must agree with you on that one...
nerdcubed completes??? xD
Just remember with the whole "Why doesn't Dr Robotnik just make a force field to vaporise Sonic" is that the hunter is nothing without the hunt.
I don't think I've laughed this hard in a while at Dan's gameplay
oh come on Dan... The game isn't that bad.
"just do the 2D bits from generations", you clearly don't understand that you don't stand for an entire fanbase! I fucking love the boost formula because... thats sonic to me. if I want to play a 2D platformer I'll play a mario game, the boost formula is unique, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, you shouldn't be telling a developing studio to be like every other 2d platformer, sonic isnt the only game series out there
nah, I'm not really in the mood to kill myself, but thanks for the suggestion bud!
Dumbass Computer and I'll look forward to every second of their rage xD
Dumbass Computer xD
Dumbass Computer 14... so yea, you be right. I'm a bit more mature than other teenagers you way find though
Dumbass Computer thx :)
I like Sonic Unleashed...
On the PS2
same
I like both versions...
+RGB done it on emulator
+Charles BOAG Why?
+RGB because the ps3 and x360 was better
Little did he know, in the next few years, there WOULD be a game where robotnic kills sonic at the start and robotic takes over
dan, all you do in old sonics is hold down one button and occasionally tap another
Am i the only one that likes this game?
:(
No your not :)
I kinda like it
The Sonic bits are really good.
The werehog bits are...there.
RaithSienar I actually quite liked the werehog bits
I mean... this game isn't THAT bad...
I thought this was actually pretty good.
The day stages are like someone saw the bonus stages in Sonic Heroes and thought "we could make an entire game out of that"
I'd like to know why he wants Eggman to destroy the planet even though he has his own space station. You do know he just blew up the planet to harness the power of the monster inside so he can threaten the planet and build Eggman Land on the planet right? He's a conqueror. Not a serial killer.
