It was something Youtube itself tweeted about trying to fix, but I'm guessing they finished fixing whatever it was. e: Guess not! However I don't think this affects mobile devices, only desktops, so there's a temporary solution for the moment. Ignatius M. Meen fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Mar 2, 2018 |

I think the only plausible conclusion here is that my sudden influx of S-Rank Sonic 2006 videos broke YouTube.

My memory of this section is very fuzzy. I think I had a lot more trouble as Sonic than I did as Shadow.

 This is the level I always shared with people to show them the potential Sonic 06 had to be something really special. Let's see how it holds up.

Haha gotta love how you went from highest praise to hating that speed section even when it does something right it does something wrong

I think I discovered each and every one of those shortcuts in Radical Train because I kept game overing on the mach speed section (and yes, the non-shortcuttable conveyor parts really are the worst), so I'm super glad they put so many in. Each repetition was a little faster. Absolutely gently caress that mach speed section though, there is no way in the universe you're not getting hit by the criss-crossing trains, and then later by the explosion debris, and also by random blades of grass (they're sharp).

My favorite part of the mach speed section is that when shadow is doing it his vehicles take physics damage from riding over the railroad ties. And they can blow up. And shadow isn't fast enough to catch up with the train without the vehicles.

Yeah the Silver boss fight seems really easy once you understand that your basic attack must never, ever be used. I like a level set up so that more skilled or knowledgeable players can find faster routes or extra goodies if they know where to go. I saw the end of the mach speed section had an invincibility item, which seems rather pointless because it looks like the most dangerous thing about that section was avoiding jumping off into the abyss. Is there any way to "ground" yourself, or is it all freehand stick control? I remember later Sonic games let you quickly adjust your positioning with the shoulder buttons, but this looks like the most you hope for controlling trajectory is to ring dash. The mach speed section designs are just bizarre. The way they are so woefully unpolished and how they force you to beat the level each time before tackling the mach speed part is eerily similar to gameplay "walls" some older videogames had for the explicit purpose of making sure kids would have to rent the videogame more than once to get enough practice to beat the level.

Oh you just wish they had come up with the easy "lane switching" with the shoulder buttons for Sonic 06. The only thing you can control is his vague trajectory, and that means that if you nudge the control stick a tiny bit he immediately tries to veer off into the nearest wall. If you dare to touch the jump button, Sonic will fly towards probably certain doom for the next five minutes, uncontrollable by you. You see, this mach speed section is so unbelievably bad because you have to jump to avoid the trains, but jumping is complete suicide, so the game basically forces you to die again and again until you get, by pure chance, the angle right. Iirc if you hit the wrong speed-up pad ramp, you crash into the wall and die horribly. Like they didn't program this one ramp's impact point to be a "Sonic hops on and on towards random targets" startup point. So it just kills you instead. I've also fallen off loops here because I went onto speedups just wrong enough. It's a complete and utter nightmare to play because there's a billion tiny ways in which it does not work. At all.

I had a look at last year's GDC presentation by the Breath of the Wild devs, and one of the things they mentioned was that they were using "liars' physics" - rather than trusting the physics engine to feed back into their gameplay, they were using it as a connector and to create "physics special effects" to give people the impression that the world worked through physics. Which is more work on the dev end, obviously, but also prevents a stray screw from an intricately-modeled exploding train car wrecking your S-rank.

Yeah, Simon has it right. There's no hope of controlling Sonic, and jumping at most points is suicide because of the bizarre angles of everything in that section, plus the complete inability to control him in the air

It's cool seeing the game's stages out of context of the story. Sonic is just holding a human lady every so often without explanation.

Unfortunately this also means we miss the Trials of Soleana where we watch sonic declare his undying love to the human lady after game-overing a few hundred times in a game of hide and seek.

I play a lot of games I think are completely terrible, but I usually have a lot of fun doing so, "dislike" therefore is definitely the wrong word. Most recently I played all the way through Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness with my wife and we were laughing our asses off all the way through. The game can't even claim to have good level design in places, it's an utter trash fire from start to finish, but it was some of the most fun we had playing games together. A++, would suffer through again if blind because holy poo poo the places those animation glitches go!

I didn't know CORE handed the rights of Tomb Raider over to Crystal Dynamics after Angel of Darkness. That's.. depressing.
