    It’s my dream as a VA to get into a game or a movie like metal wolf chaos. A lot of auditions these days for paying companies want conversational, like you are talking in a podcast and it just kills me. All call outs on Ada’s voice performance is good (especially if it’s geared to the director)
    Thanks for reviewing one of my favorite games . Keep up the good work bud!

    9:00 The presence of giant robots using one-for-one copies or real world firearms is something that comes up more often than you'd think in Giant Robot shows. If you dig the aesthetic, look up Pat Labor. The tv series and the two 2d animated films are very good, and have cranes loading individual limousine sized bullets into a .44 magnum revolver the size of a winnebago.

    Also, if i remeber correctly, fromsoft had a mini-Interconnected Universe where either Michael Wilson or his father appears as the President in Ninja Blade. I kinda hope one day Fromsoft returns to those games. They were wacky fun imo

    in terms of weapon use a proper mech will probably utilize existing weapon systems. be it rifles like m4, light machine guns, or that one browning 50 cal that we have been using for years.

    Ada's English VA complained about Asian characters being voiced by non Asian people. She went on a race fueled tirade during the pandemic. Unfortunately Capcom relented and hired her. The fact she's the worst audio version of Ada is just a beautiful statement about this type of activism.

    On visuals, remaster is a downgrade from original Xbox.
    Watching a side-to-side comparison shows a huge number of effects and lighting being absent in remaster, looking like a poorly emulated version.
    There used to be a comparison video up on YT showing those flaws, which got "mysteriously" taken down.

    It’s so strange to hear the one part at roughly 3:90
    I guess it depends on your world view, but it’s not exactly far fetched to imagine the military of any country going against its own people. Soldiers are broken down, and then they are reprogrammed like a machine.
    Which might sound like a good idea when you don’t want a bunch of guys freaking out in the middle of a battle… but we’re not just talking about emotions getting the best of you,
    it’s basically act according to your training, and follow orders.
    Thinking isn’t part of the equation, so if the C.O. says “shoot that family over there, they’re housing a top terrorist” or some kind of nonsense, they don’t tend to stop and ask questions (yeah, I know. It’s absolutely terrifying to think about, especially when you come to the realization that those in charge think common people are scum)

    You can spam boost over and over to boost forever and yes miniguns and bazookas are really good. For some reason the bu variant of the second bazooka you unlock is one of the best weapons in the game which is funny. Also no you did the mission right destroying the objectives just weakens its defense. Its basically a mech version of cendtick in ds2 where everyone tells you to get all the giant souls but theres nothing stopping you from just beating him up earlier besides the defense

    Microsoft always tried to enter the Japanese market with xbox, and they're still trying to this day. Back in the day with games like Metal Wolf Chaos and Lost Odyssey among others, and now with more and more jrpgs on Game Pass. But they inevitably fail with each generation. They just can't compete with Sony and Nintendo in Japan, people just doesn't care about xbox there.
