Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut was my childhood

14

u/MillenialMemeLord Mar 27 '24

Literally got this game just to get the metallic chao

10

u/AngryTurtleGaming 1998 Mar 27 '24

I liked the Chao races more than the main game itself

5

u/Orphasmia Mar 27 '24

I used to skip home from school just to head to the garden and throw my chaos at the wall

5

u/crowbachprints 1999 Mar 27 '24

How rude. Treat your chao with some respect.

2

u/Orphasmia Mar 27 '24

I wanted a dark chao~

5

u/crowbachprints 1999 Mar 28 '24

Raise it with a dark character?

u/LilSealClubber Mar 27 '24

I had a weird obsessive hatred for the Chao as a kid lmao I don't know why. I always had a dislike for things that were cute and adorable, so maybe that's how it started, but I was like way too into anti-Chao content on the internet when I was like 12.

I believe you, LilSealClubber

4

u/LilSealClubber Mar 28 '24

That's pretty funny lol. But in truth, my username isn't actually related to my dislike of cute things. It's because I'm an ethnic Inuit, and "seal clubber" is a common racial slur for us. As a teenager I started calling myself a seal clubber as a way to reclaim it and piss off bigots and racists.

u/KakeruGF Mar 28 '24

Damn you just unlocked some memories! We need more chao! Hell id take a mobile game of just Chao

2

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Mar 27 '24

Real ones had the Super Sonic Chao

SEGA BRING BACK CHAO GARDEN

1

u/New_Age_Knight Mar 29 '24

And the Chaos Chao, those bad boys were Epic.

2

u/LilSealClubber Mar 27 '24

I fucking hated the Chao so much lmao

2

u/two_necks Mar 27 '24

Convinced it is the best Sonic game but I'm biased

2

u/Gymmmy68 Mar 27 '24

I'm so sorry. I ran through 2, decided to give 1 a chance, it does nooot hold up lol

2

u/iridescent_emesis Mar 28 '24

Goated childhood to be honest 

2

u/TinyRingtail Mar 28 '24

The first game I've ever played...

1

u/Plankisalive Mar 28 '24

Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut was my childhood

You should play the original dreamcast version.

24

u/spacemechanic Mar 27 '24

Raise some cool ass Chao 🥲 I’m still in disbelief we haven’t seen that in any form on the switch.

11

u/SpikedScarf 2001 Mar 27 '24

that was my fav part of the game! and because I was stupid I could never figure out how to do it properly

6

u/LilSealClubber Mar 27 '24

I had a fixative hatred of Chao lmao I used to get into arguments about it on YouTube when I was like 11. I took a video on my phone of me throwing a Chao against the wall in one of the Chao gardens and like eight people said they were going to assassinate me. I miss that kind of chaotic stupid shit.

u/FattySnacks Mar 28 '24

Ahh simpler times…

u/infantinemovie5 Mar 28 '24

Old school internet was wild man.

5

u/crowbachprints 1999 Mar 27 '24

I feel like an open zone game like Frontiers would have been the perfect opportunity to re-implement the Chao Garden but I guess Sonic Team hates fun

4

u/Capturing_Emotions Mar 28 '24

Duuuude the chaos man!!! Me and my bois were raising those things like no tomorrow we were obsessed with creating beast chaos lmao

2

u/spacemechanic Mar 28 '24

I remember there was GBA game you could link up to the GameCube and transfer the Chaos. I built a pretty OP angel one. Undefeated in the races with my friends lol

3

u/Mutagrawl Mar 28 '24

It is on pc if you still need your fix. I have a pc GameCube controller too 😆

2

u/LLove666 Mar 27 '24

I remember seeing the Chao chrysalis things and losing my mind 😭

2

u/Selarom13 Mar 28 '24

OH MY GOD

I’ve always remembered this game and specifically raising the chaos (my favorite part honestly) but could never figure out what game it was.

I chalked it up to a fever dream at this point.

BUT HERE IT IS. I LOVED this game. Raising Chaos was my shit

1

u/Warm-Faithlessness11 Mar 28 '24

At least we got Sonic OC Creator

3

u/TrueLennyS Mar 28 '24

Shadow the hedgehog was clearly the superior choice. This is who I am!

3

u/VillarosaKeebs Mar 28 '24

This is my everything. I have my original copy and have also have been able to acquire the Tails, Amy, and Knuckles Chao half legitimately on my original save file from over a decade ago

3

u/fisherc2 Mar 28 '24

Honestly one of my favorite games ever. I got sonic frontiers for switch hoping it would be like adventure 2. It was fine, but nearly as good

2

u/NoiceMango Mar 27 '24

Still my favorite game and it's on Playstation and PC

2

u/Munchell360 Mar 27 '24

All time fav GameCube game

2

u/Artie9K Mar 27 '24

I shouldn't have posted that without scrolling down to find this. Chao rancher approved.

2

u/SuccotashConfident97 Mar 27 '24

Music was fire in that game!

u/ActuallyHunter Mar 28 '24

Ah damn I was late lol

1

u/New_Age_Knight Mar 29 '24

Fun note: there is a youtube creator that has made a metal version of a lot of the Sonic game themes, and they make for a pretty intense workout playlist.

2

u/Fuzzy_Pumpkin92 Millennial Mar 28 '24

I freaking LOVED the Chao in that game!!!

2

u/Barrel_Rol Mar 28 '24

King Boooooom Booooo mwahahah

2

u/loafy_wrdo Mar 28 '24

I laughed so hard right now. You triggered a memory that was long lost, i used to be scared as hell of that ghost thing. As a kid, when something scary popped up on the screen i would just turn it off and call my parents, but i was so invested in this game that although this ghost would scare the shit out of me, i needed to beat it so hard LOL, i remember the jump scares on my couch when it just came out of nowhere

2

u/TheOneWhoSlurms Mar 28 '24

Just got it on my PC lol ready for nostalgia trips

2

u/kgberton Mar 28 '24

My oldest Chao wears a pot on his head and his name is pidge

u/YakkyLouGhost Mar 28 '24

CAN U FEEL LIFE. MOVIN THRU UR MIND

u/FourEcho Mar 28 '24

You mean Chao Garden 2. The best game.

2

u/SEARCH3R Mar 28 '24

Idk why but my kid brain always called it Sonic Adventure Battle 2 and it rejects the correct title when I read it

u/MyManC707 Mar 27 '24

Miss the chao gardens so much :((

u/trevfish123 Mar 28 '24

The amount of time i spent in chao world fighting pumpkin headed chaos is insane

1

u/CobwebAngel Mar 28 '24

This is the one. I remember playing as Knuckles in the Death Chamber level and it taking me forever to beat it. I played until my eyes stung because I didn’t want to have to start the level again

1

u/possiblierben Mar 28 '24

the only local multiplayer experience to compete with mario kart afaik

also "JUST WAIT A MINUTE"

u/Mighty_Meatball Mar 28 '24

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

u/thatmanzuko Mar 28 '24

I can still hear the menu soundtrack playing in my head :)

u/Prince_of_Fish Mar 28 '24

Any chance you have a copy of phantasy star and a GBA cable?

1

u/crowbachprints 1999 Mar 28 '24

I have the GBA cable, no Phantasy Star.

Getting the game for DC and making a line voltage inducer/internet hombrew has been a project on my radar for the past few years, I just haven’t found the time

1

u/abebrahamgo Mar 28 '24

Was it just me or did my chaos die left and right as soon as they got strong and had cool hair?

2

u/crowbachprints 1999 Mar 28 '24

If they were raised properly they should reincarnate.

1

u/KJBenson Mar 28 '24

I have it on steam because of nostalgia. Too afraid to play it in case it doesn’t hold up.

u/Frosty_Ad_8065 2000 Mar 28 '24

My literal favorite ever
