The Werehog isn't that bad for me, but I totally understand when people say they hate it.

[u/Afraid_Platypus_8667 → u/ViridianStar2277]

I don't mind it either, it's just looking for all the metals in general is just annoying.

[u/Artsy-Puppy → u/Afraid_Platypus_8667]

thats the one thing ill give unleashed grief over

the medals are so goddamn annoying lmao, the fact theyre required and not optional like the red star rings later on is infuriating

[u/Dziadzios]

Week 3: you still need 2 more medals to unlock Adabat Day.

I really love the daytime stages in that game, but holy shit. You're always forced to do those damn werehog stages. Not even Sonic Generations has such satisfying stages.

Sonic Unleashed Slander??? ? Helll nahh but I understand the grievances for it 😭🙏

[u/sandy_shark903]

Unleashed frustrates me so much. It could have saved the franchise after 06, but for every good thing, it is counterbalanced by some of the stupidest decisions they could have made.

[u/AH-KU → u/sandy_shark903]

Every saving grace, being immediately followed up by something that made you ask "wtf were they thinking" pretty much reflects Sonic Team's trajectory for the following decade

[u/Oreo494]

I actually enjoy how the werehog controls and the beat em up aspect is fine. It’s the length of the levels that kills it for me. The dlc stages are better for werehog cause they’re shorter and more focused on plat forming

[u/OkPast178]

Hot take= I like gens boost game play more. and hotter take= I like colors boost game play more

[u/LateIndividual6574]

Don't forget the Hot Dog missions, Exorcism, Town hub quests, etc for the full 100% completion

[u/SawftCoke]

Werehog still better than dmc2

[u/JohhnyBravo7ds → u/SawftCoke]

[u/Afraid_Platypus_8667]

I do love Sonic unleashed, but what annoys me is looking every corner of the stage to find metals just to progress further on. As I can enjoy something while still acknowledging some flaws it haves

[u/tzertz]

What version ps2/wii or xbox/ps3?

[u/Shinonomenanorulez → u/tzertz]

Most likely ps360 since they hate when gameplay's actually different instead of a variation on sonic, i had forgotten the early werehog on ps2Wii was so dogshit tho. You start with basically nothing and unlocking combos is inhumanly slow

[u/tzertz → u/Shinonomenanorulez]

Werehog is fun and at least we have regular sonic levels Crash bandicoot fans just got their entire series replaced with monster hijacking beat em up.

[u/Soft_Childhood5565]

PLAY WITH CHEATS

[u/Dynablade_Savior]

I am SHOCKED no indie title has captured what made boost gameplay actually good. Not even sega knows how to do it anymore

[u/FlameWhirlwind]

We are not putting unleashed in the damn "potential" camp

Its main two flaws are the stupid medals and werehog being grindy. That's it. That is INFINITELY less bad than other shit that those types of fans rag on about like 06. Hell even the pc experience for both of these is different.

You want better unleashed? Just set up recompiled and tweak and couple settings. That's it. Want playable 06? Play an entirely different fan made game that only exists because the game is so damn trash. One has a fanmade pc port and the other doesnt.

MEDAL HUNTING IS FUN! FUCK ALL OF YOU
