I'm not giving this new playthrough ANY fanfare. [Part 1]
2Hi, everyone. You seriously thought you'd have to wait an entire week for the "Thanksgiving Special" to air, huh? Well... surprise. This is my first ever playthrough of a game-- or rather... a "fan-game version" of a real game.
To be frank... I'm not enthusiastic about this at all. I've been hearing rumors about this game being awful ever since it came out, and I've even watched footage of people playing/breaking the game themselves. And YET... I never even denied the fact that it was a terrible game. "Could the game REALLY be as bad as people say it is?", I asked myself over... and over... and over again.
And then... I stumbled across this 2D Recreation of Sonic's Story in 2011.
An opportunity, perhaps? I was eager to give it a try, but I didn't know how to merge files with each other. I didn't even know I was sparing myself during the time, but my curiosity grew more and more... until I hit a breaking point earlier this year. I came across this game again, and I cringed. I knew how to merge files this time, so I decided to give it a try.
"COULD THE GAME REALLY AS BAD AS PEOPLE SAY IT IS?"
The next thing I knew, I found myself at exactly this point in the video just... pondering why this game exists. (11:27) Usually when I record a fan-game, I actually play them multiple times to make sure I don't mess anything up 'too much'... but since this fan-game's physics are based off the main experience, it's almost near impossible for me to take multiple tries on this stage.
In other words... this video was actually the very FIRST recording of this game that I ever made. The next few attempts amounted to NOTHING when it came down to taking ZERO damage. (Or even little damage!) Jumping on an enemy isn't good enough, so why not just spam the homing attack button NON-STOP in order for you to actually damage them? Why place a bunch of boost pads near a moving set of spikes, anyway? How on earth does Silver have the ability to fling you into the sky, anyway? Isn't THAT something that needed to be changed? IT'S NONSENSE!
Anyway... to keep myself from looking like an internet troll of sorts, I'm not even gonna bother providing a link to this fan-game. I mean... it's been said that this fan-game polishes elements from the original game, but I have a very hard time believing that when literally EVERY element of this game was designed to be rage-inducing. [I can't even try to differentiate this from the original game anymore-- it's just THAT indistinguishable!]
Enjoy my suffering while it lasts, because this is ONLY the beginning...
