I found it helps to treat the Day stages like a rhythm game, where you go through them at casual speeds a few times first to get familiar with the track layout, then once you've got a good grasp of the layout and timing, play them faster and faster to better feel like an absolutely stylish badass.

I always liked the werehog, same with treasure hunting, mechs, pretty much every "gimmick" except wisps. I think they all added a lot of fun variety to the game and I think it's unfair to criticize them solely because "grrr not fast." The idea that Sonic gameplay needs to be exclusively about going fast constantly is how we ended up with Sonic Forces level design.

The wisps aren't all bad, but some are just too out of place or one shot. I want wisps like jade ghost and spike, which don't remove player control too much, but also let you set the speed. Now if they weren't in a boost formula game, say sa1, I'd probably be fine, it would fit the pacing better. But with that comes the question of why not just use other characters? Jade ghost is different enough to get a pass here, but hover and drill, you guys both suck in controlability, bad thing considering your almost exclusively used in platforming heavy areas, drill less so because it has it's own emptier areas, but like, tails flys better than hover and knuckles is more versatile than drill, and could benefit from the style, maybe except the doom countdown. As I said, jade ghost is so wildly different I can feel they're inclusion is worth it, but some wisps deserve to stay on their home planets unless we need a new mario ka- sonic racing game, almost fucked that up.

I love him due to how utterly ridiculous he is. Instead of playing into the common werewolf tropes Sonic remains perfectly sane, he just gets more irritable (I find the scenes where he loses his cool just very funny for whatever reason). Half his attacks aren't even using his claws, more often than not he's just lobbing punches with his stretchy spaghetti dough arms. Also Jason Griffith's voice for him is fantastic (especially knowing the backstory of how he got to make a voice that gruff) and prime meme material.

@safurahh.8093 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve said this on another video about the werehog, but one thing I love about it is how it feels from a story perspective and making you feel how Sonic feels. Think about it, Sonic is used to running super fast, bashing enemies in a single hit with his speed. He feels comfortable and in his element like this. You feel like this too while in the day stages. Free as the wind and powerful. Now he is cursed and for half of every day he cannot use this speed. He now has to deal with the enemies head on and cannot run through things. It’s disorienting! During the night, Sonic is not in his element. He is trying to survive the night, and needs to start abandoning his preconceived ideas on how to do things and use the new powers he finds himself with. This is EXACTLY what the player is asked to do in the night stages as well. It just adds a new level of connection between Sonic and player and I think that’s so cool.

My favorite part about the Werehog is its final boss, the Egg Dragoon. Eggman spent decades working on it, carefully designing it to be the perfect counter to Sonic. It was built to combat something fragile, but fast and hard hitting. But in the end, the opponent he faces is slow, strong, and beefy. An immovable object, as opposed to an unstoppable force - the opposite of what the machine was designed to deal with - and it is easily destroyed by the werehog. And the best part is, he did this to himself; He had transformed Sonic into this beast. He created the perfect opponent to himself. (I also just think its cooler if sonic only won thanks to being the werehog, it’s just ironic and cool and awesome)

Here's 2 of my favorites: while running with the trigger pressed, jump and press triangle (y) in the air. With that you'll spin forward and hit all of the enemies right in front of you, also it's pretty fast. Another one is to hold either square (X) or triangle (Y) down, then Werehog will start charging an attack, when ready just release the button. With square he'll do a spin that takes down any enemies around you, the other one literally destroys any enemy in front of you (this is the strongest attack of the game).

I like how Sonic is portrayed, I like the story, I love the day stages and even the night stages are a nice change of pace, I like pretty much everything this game has to offer. When I was growing up, I wasn't the kid to constantly yell "chaos control," I was the kid to run around like Sonic during the day and act like the werehog during the night. This game is really what jumpstarted my love for Sonic. This game will forever have a place in my heart. I also want to play the PS3 version, but I don't have the system.

I mean, it's where they put a more elaborate version of all the precision platforming from classic Sonic games, while the daytime stages are where they put a supercharged version of the speed segments from prior Sonic games (which get way too fast to make precision platforming even possible, once you get a hang of the game).

This is just a guess but I think the reason Sonic has stretchy arms as the Werehog is due to the fact that he gained powers from the Dark Gaia energy. For example in the night stages you can see the enemies stretching their limbs out to attack Sonic, he basically gains that power.

(Would've been nice to remove the slow box-carrying/pushing sections, as well as cutting the level length in half for an "easy mode") Also, huge missed opportunity to mention Prof. Pickle's tip of pressing the jump after a ledge-grab to carry momentum in the platforming!

If you unlock all the combos (the Chun-nan hub world glitch helps a lot in this) then it doesn’t matter what you press to attack, you’ll be using the combos anyway. If you don’t wanna be stuck doing the same combo despite unlocking all of them, I suggest randomising the two attack buttons (X and Y on Xbox) and how often you press them. This not only makes the werehog more enjoyable, it also saves time especially if you upgrade your strength as well. Instead of levelling up everything about the werehog like I did, I suggest focusing on levelling up combat, strength and life.

I dunno what people are talking about... Little kid me thought it was cool as heck for Werehog Sonic to beat the living snot out of dark gaia monsters. It was raw as heck.

If the Werehog gameplay and level stage took direct inspiration from Devil May Cry rather than God Of War, then I think it’d be more generally praised, especially when there’d otherwise be a pretty cool but surprisingly fitting contrast between the high-speed reaction-based action-platforming of the Daytime levels and the high-speed reaction-based hack-and-slash combat of the Nighttime levels.

The first 3D sonic game I got and actually grew up on, as funny as it may seem that it was a gateway to how Sega wanted to take Sonic and his mechanics to the future. I agree to all the points mentioned about the werehog since, my first time playing (only had the ps2 version) I was more scared of Day time stages for how clumsy I am with fast pace gaming. But when the werehog stages came, I grew into it since I grew up with combat base games. Granted the first time playing I had horrible handle when finishing the game, but then I picked up the game again during quarantine, and massively improved in both day and night stages overall, because I took the time to explore around the maps and learning the movesets of both sides. The werehog is underrated, I love the fuzzball for a game that basically introduced a great story, friendship, and mechanic to the boost formula. Just don't trigger the *jazz music* haha

Pro tip: throw boxes at enemies. It’s so satisfying, for real. Also it does more damage.

People complain about the gimmicks from the so-called Dark Era. Which is ironic since the Sonic series has been about moving forward. And that includes experimenting with the format more. And that includes the examples you brought up.

Great breakdown of the Werehog. Still weird how people complain about this unconventional gameplay when the Adventure era is filled with that. Two things though: 17:55 The bees aren't bugged, they just dodge a lot, that's the whole point of this enemy. To hit them you have to wait for an attack or use a move with a lot of coverage and hitboxes 18:00 Come on, you're literally running into the shockwaves. If you got to Eggmanland without figuring out that you have to shield or jump over them, that's on you

I played Unleashed when it came out. My brothers and I loved the game, even the Werehog since we love hack 'em slash and beat 'em up games. I never understand when dudes came saying that the Werehog gameplay is horrible and stuff, but most people played the Wii version at the time. They never played the HD version or not even cared, just rolled out with the meme of saying that is bad because it's Sonic and the critic said so. My only problem with the Werehog is the music, I think that some heavy metal would be cooler for his appearence, but that's just my taste.

The bit in this video where Chaomix played metal over the Werehog thrashing made me seriously wish they did some metal songs or at least something that went way harder for the Werehog's music instead of the spontaneous jazz band. Would have set the mood a bit better and would have been even more Sonic like.

@naganut9718 3 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure the Wii Werehog combat is the same as the HD versions. If anything they're better since they're split up to smaller stages since the stage length are still a problem, and there's little to no lag compared to the HD versions

I played the Wii version of Unleashed growing up, and younger me thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. And thanks to the Night stages in these games, they helped get me into games like Hyrule Warriors and the Bayonetta series. Also, I kind of like to think that younger me felt like he was playing Wii Sports boxing when it came to the Night Stages' combat, which I weirdly loved. 😅

Sonic unleashed is a masterpiece, it manages to be difficult but also a lil easy to fans, the story is a chef's kiss, and one of the most underrated characters ever, aka chip, i hate how chip was just there for one game and gone, unleashed has it's own way of being unique, everything about it is awesome.

Unleasehed was my first 3D sonic game along with colors way back in 2011. When I learned people weren't so fond of Unleashed, I kinda got mad but was always too afraid to talk about it. I had the Wii version and still enjoyed the game so I knew without a doubt that other people could've enjoyed it. It's a swag game with swag gameplay, combat system wasn't the best but it was enjoyable
