Yeah why do the Zaibatsu still give a poo poo about anything like that after Sonic Dreams?

It is a lovely 10-second loop of a jazz inspired mess with that is way too loving loud and wouldn't sound good listening to it on its own let alone in this loving game. Like there is actual good music in Unleashed, that track is not one of them.

I thought the big problem with that was that it kept doing the loop and starting from the beginning every new fight instead of picking up somewhere afterwards and that drove people mad.

The LP just started and they're not trying to actively ignore the game like the Minecraft LP, what else are they supposed to talk about? There's plenty of dumb poo poo in the Sonic series.

Because they have a genuine affection for Sonic canon to varying degrees, sincere or not, and the reason they're billing this as "Liam's Ride to Hell/Prison Break" or whatever isn't because it's a thoroughly awful game like those were, it's because he has hyper-specific complaints about dumb little things that only in-too-deep Sonic fans would give a poo poo about.

EDIT: also, this game is fairly long with nothing else to talk about for most of the time so prepare for a whole lot more of that bullshit.

yeah the werehog stuff is bad but compared to some of the poo poo they've played on the channel - or are in fact still playing! - it's competent

Liam will defend each and every poo poo they've played on the channel more than Unleashed because the Werehog isn't moe enough.

There's an interesting dynamic going on i'd say
Liam: Really digs Sonic the Hedgehog, but down on everything of this game, will sometimes admit that the daytime levels are okay.
Woolie: Likes the game overall and really respects it for the daytime levels to the point of defending the whole thing, but hates the art style. Don't like the PS2/Wii version.
Matt: Likes the game's artstyle and some of its quirkiness but is down on Sonic as a whole. Assumes the PS2/Wii version is better.

We'll see when we get to part 20 and they have to do the african werehog level a second time to get enough medals.

Yeah, like I said before, I liked the Sonic Adventure LP because I enjoyed the dynamic of Liam insisting it was good and the others not having it and I think that repeating that scenario might be the only way to truly make him suffer, seeing as he plays godawful poo poo on the reg and loves it.

It's not even that I need anyone to suffer, it'd just be more interesting to see genuine suffering/excitement than it is to watch them play middling games that they're convinced are better or worse than what's actually being shown to us.

They can minimise it if they take the time to look around for medals during the werehog levels and take on a couple of side levels. If they do that then they shouldn't need to replay anything.

This is not happening. What's gonna happen is they're gonna get a few that are obvious and cut out the footage of them trying to get the rest after they hit the point where they can't progress.

This makes me imagine that in the original cut of Beyond Two Souls, it's YOU playing as the rapist, rather than the underage rape victim. Maybe that's one of the points those extra writers steered Cage away from.

Not really? He barely talks about Cage when he comes up and actively kept trying to defend Heavy Rain when Woolie was streaming his playthrough because he loves that game and ha said Detroit looks cool as hell. Even if he dislikes the other games, he doesn't really come off as disliking the guy or his games.

He also hasn't played Beyond 2 Souls yet, and Pat is legitimately concerned that Liam will say he liked it.

Liam seems to give a lot of games passes based on what they were TRYING to do, rather than whether they achieved it or not. Even his "suffering" on Unleashed is a lot less despair-fueled screaming than anything the other three guys put out, dude has high tolerance for mediocrity. Omikron is kinda indefensible after a while tho, I don't think he'd have stuck with it. It's not even that it becomes repetitive and the story gets kinda creepy like SDG, it's just clunky and impossible to deal with.
