its hilarious how insane their catalogue is, i literally just found out they are the devs of armor core and my jaw dropped earlier today. Idk what they have going on in their offices and shit, but damn they are amazing
@@sleepytre Its simple, the higher ups are thinking of creating the highest quality game possible, and not build it from the ground up to be an mtx focused fuckhole. I hope Miyazaki never retires.
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.
What I would say about the Voice Acting in MWC is that the VAs had a lot of fun doing it, hamming and cheesing it up to make a delicious dubbing sandwich
Every day that passes, I hope Fromsoft references Metal Wolf Chaos in an Armored Core game, or make a sequel. Like bro, it's the most American game ever and it was made by Fromsoft. 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
I remember when I first saw this game at GDQ this was after the event went full CORPO. This game breathed life back into that sad convention that we hadn't seen in years. This game is the best.
I hope we get a president like Michael because he actually is someone who can put in the work to be a leader unlike all the other ones we had for the last few decades.
Hard agree with the Phoenix stage being best for grinding. Short, filled with loot, and has a fun mech brawl at the end, just the right balance of factors. I have played that one stage more times than I can count and I never got bored of it, even when plowing through it at breakneck speed with dual maxed miniguns
i have to say weirdly enough metal wolf mech would probably closer to what a real life mech is beside how it looks. 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.
To be fair, I think Monolith's Shogo: Mobile Armor Division is one of the only American made Mecha/FPS games that took the look of parodying sci-fi mecha anime, and I don't think it ever made it to Japan. So checkmate.
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.
It's interesting you compared the graphics to the Dreamcast. The HW is only 3 years apart but that period was probably the fastest growth in consumer graphics we've seen.
30:25 I feel the same with a few of the classic Star Trek, Robotech, and Yu-Gi-Oh! games that are either console exclusive or just no longer available on modern PC stores.
Many aren't available on current consoles either. I'd like to see The Punisher 2005 remastered for both current consoles and pc. Getting to play old games in HD with stable frame rates is great. I've been having fun playing through all the Syphon Filter games that were rereleased onto PS4/PS5. Too many games lost to time...
I hope you see this comment. You MUST play and make a video about EDF 5 specifically. There are no words for it. Careful tho, you will get PTSD from how human the aliens look. (inside joke there)
If anybody has problems with the ultimate weapon you can go upstairs and get behind a building and fire the third bazooka above the building and it will drop bombs on him from a mostly safe space
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.
Honestly who needs good graphics for this style of game? The game is a fuckin blast even if it's all bad blocky textures. This game could have modern graphics and ray tracing and it wouldn't have any effect on the fun I have playing it
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
7:14 if you look up a speedrun it seems like air dash spam is easily the best movement tech in the game due to it not running out, it's pretty much the AC bhop equivalent I should bully halo fans
"FROM where known for their hilarious mech games" Excuse me? Have you played any Armored Core games? The stories are quite dark despite how limited they are (most Armored Core games have you being an unnamed, unface mercenary who doesn't care which corporation wins at the end of the day, it all about the paycheck).
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.
And now they've pretty much lost the Western market to Nintendo and Sony too. Only Game Pass keeps them afloat now. It certainly isn't exclusives like Redfall...
Japan made a great Murica game, meanwhile we can't even get a decent patriotic game from today's American devs. Can't even use the US flag as your emblem in MW2 2022, lame. Freedom Fighters is also another good Murica game, not made by Americans either lol.
can't have anything good in american games unless it's slathered with esg approved junk... can't even have mechs in them unless they're the target practice...
Even if I never find a copy or get past the Japanese menus, the OG Xbox still reminds me that it never got bricked or had the red ring of death. As for worst voice acting in a game, I'm going to have to nominate Bethesda's deadpan Sam Coe from Starfield 😴
Now THIS is how you celebrate 'Murica Day 🦅
Fromsoft is a completely different breed now. Holy shit.

sorry for seeing this late, but i agree!!! its amazing to see what they have become over the years@@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS
@@sleepytre they also made eternal ring, which is not like their usual game.
They even made horror game named "Echo Night"
@@ReigoVassal never knew that thank you!!!! Is there any other things they worked on that a lot of people don’t know about?
This 4th of July, be the American Japan thinks you are.
Barry Burton? A great American gun fan who loves his family and will do anything to protect them. A true American Hero.
God bless America
I remember watching the Super Best Friends play this game and remember them having as much fun as you did and it was a great watch overall.
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!
Imagine fromsoftware coming out with a Metal Wolf 2. If we could get that and a Metal Gear Rising Revengence 2, it’d be a match made in heaven.
I hope they’d keep the same charm and dark tone as the first one if they ever made a sequal
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.
Even in armored core, some of the shotguns are like, semi truck sized regular shotguns
What I would say about the Voice Acting in MWC is that the VAs had a lot of fun doing it, hamming and cheesing it up to make a delicious dubbing sandwich
I like to believe the American president in the AC universe is this man.
Shoutout to super best friends play for reviving the most nuanced From Software experience
Every day that passes, I hope Fromsoft references Metal Wolf Chaos in an Armored Core game, or make a sequel. Like bro, it's the most American game ever and it was made by Fromsoft.

WHAT THE F IS A KILOMETER?! 🗣🦅🦅🦅
about 10 soccer fields LOL
BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN JUSTICE!
(Thanks so much for talking about Ada in RE4 remake. She sounds so bad.)
Happy 4th of July!
This is a cannon prequel to AC
FromSoft knows how to make good mech games
Hard agree with the Phoenix stage being best for grinding. Short, filled with loot, and has a fun mech brawl at the end, just the right balance of factors. I have played that one stage more times than I can count and I never got bored of it, even when plowing through it at breakneck speed with dual maxed miniguns
This game looks absolutely incredible and I now need to play it. Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece

I just want to appreciate that Richard Hawk got into his mech suit for the sole reason of laughing at Michael while giving him a thumbs down.
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.
It's interesting you compared the graphics to the Dreamcast. The HW is only 3 years apart but that period was probably the fastest growth in consumer graphics we've seen.
I hope you cover mechwarrior, chromehounds, gungriffon, front mission ,steambot chronicles too .
It's funny that you brought up Ada's voice acting from RE4make because that was my first thought when you started talking about boring voice acting.
And I see nothing wrong with this glorious masterpiece
fantastic video! Had no idea about this game and will be picking it up on pc later 👍 Hope you're having a good one
Bruh these voice lines! Perfect heel dialogue
I've been itching for a video to watch thanks bud

@@Gruntvc Indeed.
You should do Advent Rising next, im sure you will have an interesting time researching and playing the tragedy that is Advent Rising.
I hope you see this comment. You MUST play and make a video about EDF 5 specifically. There are no words for it.

Finally, a game worthy of Rawhide Kobayashi's time.
fantastic vid
You guys remember Valkyria Chronicles? It kind of has a similar vibe (if that makes sense) as Lost Planet.
If anybody has problems with the ultimate weapon you can go upstairs and get behind a building and fire the third bazooka above the building and it will drop bombs on him from a mostly safe space
Мне нравится как выглядит меха костюм в игре. Так же нравится юмористическая атмосфера.

Also Fromsoft experience with Mech games, since they did Armored Core before Souls
American Armored Core looks crazy

“Metal Wolf Chaos” sounds like something weebs would love
The jabs at CNN in this game are precious
Takes him 13 minutes to mention that he is playing the PC rerelease and not hte Xbox so take that as you will...ass.
