Playing Sonic Forces against my will

I promise I also play good games. Check out some more of my full playthroughs + subscribe :) youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbdSQOvtjIjEL8uj--sC69i…

The best thing about Sonic Forces is the fact that someone at sega thought the best way to promote the game would be to do a collab with hooters. That one fact is better then the entire game.

Knux is completely right about the “that’s why it’s called war” bit. War actually derives from a word that roughly means “worse”.

I love how this game emphasizes teamwork and friendship, yet the Resistance couldn't do jack shit until Sonic arrives.

I love Shadow and Chaos being advertised as big threats and stuff, and then you never even fight them

I like how he failed half of the double boost mashes but didn't even realize because it literally doesn't matter

My favorite part of Sonic Forces is when Tails goes "Sonic was kidnapped months ago and he's being tortured every single day!" and then cuts to Sonic busting out and goig "LOL! i could really go for a chilidog!" ...Man, you could just feel the pain and PTSD Sonic had at that point

It's always confused me how Sonic Characters can apparently breathe in space but also drown underwater.

1:45 nearly gave me a heart attack! It was so out of place and unexpected!

What I really hate about this game is the implication that nobody other than Sonic himself could deal with Eggman whatsoever. Like as soon as Sonic is captured all hope is apparently lost until he's found out to be alive again

Forces is the epitome "interesting idea, half assed execution"

oh, i just remembered: there's a character in the Sonic comic books named "Whisper". she uses a Wispon weapon, and she has a special mask that lets her talk to her wisp friends. AND she almost always speaks in a whisper... the only comic I've personally read where she raised her voice was a one-shot comic where she met "Jet the Hawk" from Sonic Riders, and she yelled "BE QUIET!" at him.

I love how despite the others saying sonic was tortured ruthlessly he still is like energetic and cheerful still.

"Plain oatmeal with nothing in it" is probably the best description I heard for this game honestly. That is legit my feelings for Forces in six words.

for me personally, sonic forces meant a lot at the time that i played it. i was in the worst depression of my life by far. genuinely thought i was going to become homeless, so i bought it on a whim as a sort of last comfort, and it brought back a lot of memories of being a kid, making a ton of sonic ocs (and turning the tokyo mew mew girls into sonic characters. but thats unrelated), comics, sprite edits, etc. i played it obsessively and at the time to me it felt like a miracle. was sonic forces actually a technically polished game with good writing and gameplay? probably not. i havent played it since 2019. but i had a lot of fun playing it, so i really treasure it. even if the character creator actually kind of sucks in retrospect. anyway i think a good sonic game is whatever you feel in your heart :]

The thing that upset me the most in this game was how threats were handled. While there was display and dialogue of how dangerous Eggman had become and how powerful Infinite was, there was never a need to use or seek out the Chaos Emeralds? Even without Sonic, they would have been useful considering Knuckles and Tails could go super as well as Silver! And by the final fight there could have been about 6-7 Chaos Emerald powered characters ready to beat up the enemy forces (Both Sonics, Tails, Knuckles, Silver and Shadow, 7 if they chose the OC to be able to get the power of the Chaos emeralds.) But instead it was an afterthought that they put in later as DLC, and only for the two Sonics.

I’m pretty sure they ended up reusing the same engine they used in Lost World, which ended up making most characters feel more heavy than they should be.

If you ever feel useless, remember that chaos appears in some cutscenes but hasn't a boss fight

20:18 hitting us with the OVA references are how you know Choc is a real fan.

31:55 im sorry, im dead,
