Do you plan on covering Ace Combat 5, 6, 7, or the PSP/3DS games? These videos are hard to stop watching, and I can only hope that I'll be able to hear this style of video for every game in the franchise.

15:09, He actually did the opposite in the Tekken 2 Ending it was from a helicopter and it followed with a crap eating grin. And now he's back and he's got a sleeper recruit

11:16 His old man threw him off a cliff as a kid and he's returning the favor cycle of abuse, what can ya say?

This is cathartic

Tekken 6 the story fell off a fucking cliff. 7 was still poor and 8 a bit better, but both suffered as a result of 6. Tekken 4 gave the characters real depth and was legitimately engaging. Shame we probably won't see these kind of themes again as they just try to replicate superhero and anime tropes these days.

Such a good video! Love the perspectives and flow.

Dang it I missed it!!!

Happy New Year as well! Also, I don't know how to word this better, but thank you for sticking around and making everything you've done so far. Ace Combat. Tekken. Zoe. Afro Samurai. One off critiques vids. Their all insightful. Teaches me new stuff and shows me different viewpoints on topics. I hope the coming year is better for you. Take care!

Shame I had to work when you were streaming. been watching these stream archives recently and man it's great stuff.

where's kingdom hearts 4 fuck you geoff

You make more Damage when you are above enemies btw. And the game is designed around this

Nice

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jun was such an annoying character, she really got on my nerves

I was with you until "I really hope Marduk finds you." No wonder america has a rapist as their president, considering how popular rape culture has become.

T4 is still amazing to this day, T8 wishes it had a story like T4, instead it ended up with a fan fic story

Favorite fighting game of all time.

this video deep dive is brilliant! if not for the Game Devs need to be pretentious in their innovation. hot-keying fixed action controls to the right stick of all places, Looking at you Namco... if not implemented well, it turns into an insifferable and dated gimmick of it's time period real quick.

"I hope Marduk finds you" Jesus man.

Phenomenal video assay, you've shown me a whole new perspective on a beloved classic. I do have to hard disagree on the Dolores series though. True it is wildly different to the rest of the ZOE franchise, but the characters are so lovable - they are flawed and make bad decisions, but they make UNDERSTANDABLE mistakes that reflect their personal flaws, and grow through these mistakes. They are just so deeply Human. Maybe I'm overly generous to a series that isn't driven but incomprehensible and inconsistent character writing that infests anime, but I love it.

AC3 might not have my favorite story in the series, but it's by far the game I find the most fascinating out of all the entries. I'm always bewildered at how ambitious it is, and also by just how well it holds up in spite of that ambition. The only complaint I have are the AI missiles. Thankfully, the developers prevented it from being too egregious by making the AI incredibly passive on all difficulties, and by inflating your health pool on Normal and below. I'd have prefered real solutions, but I suppose they must've ran out of time. Can't wait for your next video.

I wish Bandai Namco Release the Zeebo Port of Tekken 2 on Switch or Steam.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the game director of the new ace combat that is still in devolpment his name is Takuya Iwasaki, he was the project director of ace combat 3

10:55 damn bro tell us how you really feel about Nina 😭😭

Good luck with other Endings. It's a very long and rich game to unpack.

17:50 No words were needed to describe the redundancy of that screen-prompt / upgrade (in all fairness, the upgrade probably affects Raven's / Lars' AI too, but it doesn't make the situation any less awkward) Not gonna lie, as flawed as this campaign may be when put under a microscope, it's always gonna remain am important part of my childhood. The Tekken 6 campaign was an absolute blast! Even though I basically dropped out of the campaign at that exact boss battle since Alisa was literally the only character I desired to play as when I was a kid, so her becoming unavailable royally screwed me to say the least. She's the only character whose moveset I am at least somewhat familiar with to this very day, now that I have actually grown up enough to put an effort into learning movesets for a game-franchise nobody else in my entire town plays. In hindsight, it doesn't come as a surprise that I developed an obsession with the cute robot-waifu I suppose. In any case, I enjoy having a laugh at the silly little details of one of my favourite childhood games, your video is so well-presented and your commentary never feels uncalled for or overly insulting to the game.

Great video as usual

16:09 I think the actual explanation is that the gun in AC2 is just garbage. Even if you've put a missile into a plane beforehand it still takes what feels like hundreds of rounds to finally destroy it. Also, since the cruise missile has no collision, I've found the best way to shoot it down is trying to ram it while holding down the trigger.

27:11 Minor correction/elaboration: While the Electro-Neuron-Synapse-Interface is what most pilots in the setting use to fly (the majority of SARF included), it is non-intrusive and functions by using external sensors to track the activity of the pilot's reflex and motor neurons. What Rena has is instead an Opto-Neuron-Synapse-Interface, which jacks her central nervous system directly into the aircraft, effectively turning it into an extension of her body. This also makes her uniquely vulnerable to being taken over by the nanomachines in Bug Hunt, and I believe realizing that is the turning point in her arc. Midway through this video I realized that you were the one who made the two videos on ACZ and 04 that I quite liked, and I even remember asking about AC3 in a comment I left on one of them. Then I checked and saw that you've since made videos on the original two games! I'll definitely be watching those soon. Anyway, really looking forward to Part 2.

I swear the writing and production on these videos get better and better. I played 5 not knowing this series had so much depth, so learning about it through such great writing is peak

luv' me Delphinus luv' me Rena luv' me Gitai videos 'ate Dision 'ate Park (not racist just don' like 'im) simple as

Very good video. the exploration of the NATO paper in the context of indoctrination too was a fantastic angle, and this is probably one of the best literary character explorations I think I've seen of AC3 -- which is kind of bonkers, all things considered?

Not gonna lie, when it came to the child indoctrination segment I can appreciate the clarification of Disions intent NOT being sexual in any way. It's still sinister regardless, but it's for making a child soldier, nothing more or nothing less. I've watched the 1930's version of all quiet on the western front front, easily a pretty accurately depressing depiction of war as a meat grinder, I think I remember this scene where the protagonist, Paul Bäumer doing the opposite of Dision in front of a class of soon to be recruits, going on about the horrors of war with an expression not too dissimilar from the infamous 1000 yard stare. Telling people that they will go on to be glorious and do great things is usually just dressing war up in royal capes and gilded swords so to speak. It maybe an eye roll to say it, but war is abysmal, it runs off of consuming human life, it produces unthinkable irrational horrors, and it can ruin the human soul.

The wait's been worth! As always superb analysis, this game's story and themes are pretty complex to me but these videos help a lot to give them cohesion and appreciate what they represent

I've been waiting for this, my Sunday just got so much better

This video expresses my heart when I insert the disc into the console. I played this title when it was released, around 1999/2000, with my father. He treasured his Japanese copy because I wasn’t very careful with things (I was very young). ACE COMBAT 3 is what sparked my passion for computing, electronics, electronic music, and I’d add, a certain admiration for UIs. It is my absolute favorite video game, but I think that’s already clear from my nickname :) I was amazed when I logged in for the first time with the soundtrack "Linkage"; it really felt like I was controlling a real computer. The gameplay, the story, and the technical execution are unparalleled. There is no other masterpiece like this one. It’s completely impossible. In 2016, along with my closest friends, we decided to translate it into English and Italian... We worked hard to do it justice, but every second was totally worth it because of people like you. We are immensely grateful that you used our patch. I’m eagerly waiting for the second part. -Naitoraven951 (LWT Staff)

My head canon for endings were: E -> B -> D -> A and C. Ending C is the best left for last.

I'm a simple man, i see Ace Combat 3 and i like and subscribe.

Omg finally, love your videos from Bahrain

I've been looking forward to this since I saw your Ace Combat Zero and 2 analysis videos. You really bring a very interesting perspective to this community that while getting more popular as of late, don't really have any long form videos just talking about its narrative themes and whatnot.

Looking forward to these AC3 vids!

Is this going to be a strictly story/thematic analysis of AC3? One thing that makes AC3 stand out to me compared to other games in the series is how *weighty* the aircraft you control feels. It isn't as weightless and snappy compared to AC2 or even AC4 after it. I felt like I had to manage my acceleration more to avoid crashing into the ground on gun runs/low passes because my plane would not instantly respond to pull out of a dive if I was going too fast. Another thing was how the missiles track targets. They actually head to a predicted point of impact ahead of where the enemy plane is instead of chasing the enemy planes tail like a rabid dog. It's such a neat touch of realism for a PS1 era game but it made judging if my shot would connect more difficult so I felt like I had to fire an extra one for the self-assurance the enemy was already dead. Also, sub-weapons! AC3 introduced them, did any in particular stand out to you? Would you include any specific Futuristic sub weapons that would only fit in AC3's world, even more advanced than the TLS or railgun introduced in future entries in the series? Did you have any thoughts on how it felt to actually manuver your plane as well?

1. Thank god for Load Word Team's work on making the complete localization patch for Ace Combat 3. I hope their work inspires other PS1 modders/devs to do similar complete translation patches to other Japan exclusive games. 2. I pray Bandai Namco and Project Aces will one day port all of the earlier Ace Combat games to modern platforms. 3. I haven't played Ace Combat 6. I'm hoping Xenia Canary will one day have bug free audio in the cutscenes. 4. Question: After you're done with AC3, What Ace Combat game will you analyze next? or maybe even Project Wingman?

I love how detailed and thoughtful AC3's UI is, I was about to comment on how it remind's me of Wipeout's design and Vectorheart deaign language but you already brought it up so early on too. The Menus swapping depending on what faction you're aligned to, the little jingles when you log on. Just dripping with personality

OH MY FUCKING GOD WE'RE SO BACK

*Obligatory racist/sexual comment *
