Metal Wolf Chaos - Believe In Your Own Justice [Bumbles McFumbles] 

The fact that Aran Ryan wasn’t included on the list of enemies is a crime

Jodie sounds like she's stoned out of her mind constantly. I adore her.

wait that "god is made of steel" line kinda goes hard lmao this game rocks

I don't understand how a game can be so aggressively Japanese and aggressively American at the same time but I'm here for it.

Richard sounds like he's perpetually stifling a giggle during every line-read. The man is having the time of his life.

>his archnemesis is falling at terminal velocity into orbit >Michael still chase after him and calling out to Richard's sense of justice >Richard refuses and choose to end his own life denying Michael This game is so fucking not straight I LOVE IT

Richard's voice acting kills me. You can tell the VA was having a ton of fun.

Richard is a national fucking treasure, and I'm not even american.

"Have a nice day... uhh, o-or not, Michael!" Truly, one of the worst put-downs of all time. How will Michael ever recover?

The fact that we describe anything genuine and silly with food metaphors is weirdly fitting! Cause like a fine meal, feeling this genuine unironic passion no matter how silly it looks to anyone else is just so satisfying

The voice direction sounds so much like the acting done in voiced examples of english teaching classes. It's super charming and I love how it helps accentuate the action movie/ early anime tone of the game.

Remember: be the American Japanese think you are

Richard Hawk having cheesy voice tone followed by DSP seal laugh is like a cherry on top

I love how Micheal's motivation, even to the end is *"i'm the mother fucking president, fuck you, i do what i want"*

the voice acting reminds me of a high school play where only like 3 people are actually serious about the performance, the others are just there to pass the class. i genuinely love it. it’s perfect in every way. i really hope to see some indie games use a similar style of voice direction, like how some use ps1/sega saturn style low poly 3d models

Bumbles McFumbles and Metal Wolf Chaos? How can this not be good?

Yeeeeeees. Fuck cringe, sincere enjoyment and passion is where its at! Part of why you're my favorite channel is the passion you put into this! You go so hard on little details, even things you reuse like transitions are still changing and updating constantly. You're forever an inspiration and a goal to strive for, as far as I'm concerned. That's a cool new outro btw! (...also glad I'm not the only one driven by spite sometimes XD)

7:41 While I only have personal experience with this game and the newest armored core (fires of rubicon), I have seen enough gameplay of the older titles to confidently say that metal wolf has very similar gameplay to the first 3 generations of armored core games (specifically the 3.5 generation, the one that finally got analog camera controls). There are some differences like the weapons being less wacky in armored core and how metal wolf has no mech customizing, but overall if you pick up 3.5 gen AC game like nexus it probably won’t be too hard to adjust. The AC games from 4 onward have massive gameplay changes between generations though, from 5th gen’s “mostly the same as older gens” to 4th gen’s “fast as a coked up cheetah that watched too much anime”. Edit: Also fun fact, the best way too avoid Richard’s super move? Use your own, it makes you invincible for the duration and in the first arena there’s a pickup in one of the slot machines that gives full super meter.

Let's go boys! Hi-Fi Rush is canon to the Bumbles McFumbles universe! This means he's gonna make a video on it, right? ...right?

If you were to tell me this entire game was a plot about 2 gay poloticians breaking up I'd believe you after all the shit Michael and Richard do

At long last, Bumbles covering mecha stuff...and as a Gundam fan, I love how this is just "Heavyarms: The Game", just missing a few acrobatics here and there PD: I think Oscar Hammerstein II was the first to come up with "corny" as an insult, back in 1946

I don't know who voiced Richard Hawk but he deserves an award just for his laugh

From what I saw, this whole war started because Richard loves Michael so much, he wanted him all to himself. The fact that Michael didn´t reciprocate these feelings, since he had eyes only for Jody, let to Richard going insane. He started extreme acts just to get Michaels attention, making him chase after him, even trying to blow up his romantic rival. The end was especially gripping, when Richard saw Michael trying to save him, but most likely realized the gravity of his crimes and that he cannot be forgiven.

It's fun to just say this game is a direct sequel to metal gear revengance. With Michael and Richard's were Armstrong opponents politically.

Only just started but I feel you on the rant about corny-ness. Sincerity is not a weight to hold down, or, dare I say, “cringe.” Your dad joke might result in rolled eyes, but I guarantee that even the stupidest, most poorly put together joke can make someone smile. You are not cringe for writing what you like, or singing what you like. You are not cringe for being yourself.

20:02 Obviously the reason the cannon is made like that is because Richard had it secretly be built like that without Michael knowing, obviously. Why? Obviously because Richard's old nemesis used to live on that side of the country and hence the country won't be pure until that monster's birth-cradle is turned to ashes. Who's this man? Some random dude that beat Richard at a game of strip poker once over 15 years ago, obviously. Richard is that petty over losing a game? I mean obviously but that's not even the point, Richard lost not only the game that day, but his purity, naturally he immediately killed the man that tainted him at that very moment point blank. Still, the deed had been done and now Richard could never marry; this is actually the whole reason the entire plot of the game happens of course, as if it wasn't because of him being tainted everyone knows he would have immediately married Michael the moment he met him. Gosh, to ask such naive obviousl questions without knowing the even the slightest bit of lore, people like that are indeed the most annoying.

Knew this was going to be a good video as soon as I heard extremely high praise of Devolver Digital.

To those who know this is the true 69th episode of bumbles mcfumbles, savor this

Richard's voice is halfway between a guy talking very casually and saturday morning cartoon villain insulting the main character.

I haven't cackled like this in SO LONG. Only thing better than Richard and Jodi is how you frame and bounce off them.

Ive never heard of this game before and now i will never not think about this game.

Richard sounds like a Snapcube voice actor! It doesn't help that the entire game sounds like a fan dub!

As an American I can aonfirm this is 100% accurate I was just saved by robot president a week ago

32:02 That is a man who knows he's going to get the breaks beaten off of him and he knows he doesn't get paid enough for it.

Watching this i actually realized that we’re 70 episodes into this thing! Keep it up Mr. McFumbles, you are one of the creators i love to see new releases from and always know its gonna be a good time. So again, KEEP IT UP and i cant wait to see you at 100!!

This looks insane, I love it already

Hey, Jack. Big fan of your videos. Your enthusiasm and unique sense of humor really adds a lot to these, and they’re always a lot of fun. Considering your tendency to talk about obscure sixth generation titles from time to time, I was wondering if you’d consider making a video on Firefighter F.D. 18 on the PS2. It’s a bit nostalgic for me, and having replayed it recently, I feel like you could pull an interesting video out of it. I think you’d have fun to boot!

Games like these are important to me like blood or 3-4 hour long video essays about obscure video games

70 episodes of the best channel I've watched in recent memory. Also, the funny monkey becoming a boxer is obviously on your enemies list after the Punch Out video.

If you're a big fan of games with excellent and satisfying gameplay but a story filled to the brim with cheese and corn, I can't help but feel like you would enjoy the Kingdom Hearts series.

Love the new look of everything Bumbles! The cassettes, the new outro, I love the work you put ito everything. Also, this game is so silly in the best way possible.

Somehow the thought process leading to this game happened again, but at Intelligent Systems around 2013-2014. Leading to the release of Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., which has sequences where Abraham Lincoln pilots a giant steampunk mech.

This was your very-late 4th of July special, isn't it? Also, nice outro, sadly i'm gonna miss the iconic NMH2 ranking theme.

He forgot about his long list of enemies known as the people who made project altered beast

If I had a nickel every time there was a game where a U.S. president fought evil in a rad-as-fuck mech suit, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

The ammount of excitement I got from the thumbnail is unreal

If you want a game series with the same energy as Metal Wolf Chaos, check out the EDF series. ITs basically all the glorious RE1 level voice acting and the crazy situation played serious as MWC but instead of the president your a soldier with ridiculous guns fighting giant bugs, robots, aliens, and fucking godzilla.

God I hope this game gets a sequel

I’m slowly starting to realize that, by the end of the game, Richard is just hitting on Micheal going by the way he talks Edit: I WAS RIGHT

I don't care if the game is good or utter garbage, that name alone is worth a buy.

I wouldn't have thought they would use an exponential damage system

I literally cried laughing at 28:20. It's just.. Perfect.

Remember kids, Be the American that the japanese think you are!

"Some of my favorite things are hokey and corny." Oh, same for me with this channel!

I'm so glad we finally get to play the game made by Senator Armstrong.

Richard gives me vibes of Bruce Campbell's narrator from Spider-Man 2: The Game. Jody sounds almost like the Hyperion New-U stations from Borderlands 2, 3, and The Pre-Sequel (and the announcer on Helios, also from The Pre-Sequel). And I love them both dearly.

Its amazing how the voice acting, especially for NYC sounds like a youtuber joke fandub for the game

(28:25) this cutscene was interrupted by a youtube premium ad and i've never hated youtube premium more than i did then

Honestly the only youtuber I get excited e erytime I see a new post from . Underrated as hell

Thank you mister Bumbles. I wound not have known this game had existed without your video. I may not like it but I was able to give a suggestion to my friend who likes this sort of game. So thank you very much.

Using Dillon's Rolling Western music during a Metal Wolf Chaos video feels specifically tailored to my tastes

The Soviet Bumbles arc is over (Edit: GOD THAT NEW OUTRO IS SICK)

RICHARD!

How can voice acting be so bad and so good at the same time?

Hey Bumbles, congrats on 100k (99.5k but who’s counting) you really deserve it! Like pretty much everyone I came from the original Punch-Out video and I’ve kept up since mid-22, I love your style of editing and writing, The fact that you can make an hour long video on several random PS2/Xbox games and keep me interested the whole way is amazing, Keep up the great work! (Also love the new outro!)

“I will put you in Buchanan-Tier” had me trying not to *scream* with laughter as I listened to this in my cubicle at work, that one just… really GOT me for some reason 😂

BROFORCE! FOR FREEDOM! BROFORCE! FOR THE FLAG! BROFORCE! FOR LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

Woah, looks like someone got an upgrade. I like it.

Beat this a few days ago. I officially believe in my own justice

It's strange that a game's got parallels to real life both when it's initially launched and rereleased for completely different reasons...

Considering Biden is our 46th president, I sincerely hope this game ends up being a vision of the future and when next year's election comes at least some guy named Michael Wilson ends up on the ballot. For the first presidential election I get to vote in, I may have to endure the pure chaos of this game's story as a mere civilian, but it will all be worth it for the only good president of America. Long live Mr. Wilson 🫡

I love how Bumbles just randomly calls out people in the comments. It's like getting randomly called out by your teacher in class and I can only imagine surprise.

So this game is basically Metal Gear Solid drawn from memory, isn't it?

I love your channel!

Richard and Cesare from Bigtop Burger have similar energies

3:13 The Subtlety has been defenestrated like a Papist in Prague and the game devs decided to do ALL the drugs for this game. Buckle up, everyone, because we're about to witness some _insanity._

Always a pleasure to see you in my inbox. May I never make the list of your enemies, lest I be consumed in hellfire.

Awesome vid! The new end card’s great too! If you like MWC’s tone, it seems really similar to that of the EDF series. I HIGHLY recommend you give it a whirl-you won’t regret it!

This is the most American game I’ve ever seen, and it was made in Japan. Incredible.

MICHAEL!

Richard's cartoonish evilness is the goofiest shit and i love it

Richard and Michael are my favorite toxic yaoi couple

I didn’t fully read the title, and thought it was about blade wolf. Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised

Yeesh. I was not prepared for that new outro

This is the most aggressively American thing I’ve ever seen since Senator Armstrong

Almost 100k subs!!!!

this is my legacy now and i dont regret it at all

I’m disappointed that the title wasn’t Metal Wolf Chaos: God is Made of Steel.

I guess making the MSX line of computers in Japan just wasn't enough for Microsoft to be successful there.

Chaotic as the game is, the designs for the mechs go hard AF

President Wilson puts the "Commander" in 'Commander in Chief'

I know who I'm voting for next year.

I can't believe Bumbles forgot to mention that Devolver also published Cult of the Lamb aka the best rogue like since Binding of Isaac. Talk about a McFumble😤 /hj

13:53 Even the mines aren't safe from Carcinization. All shall be Crab!

Do you notice that the videos of yours that perform the best are the ones that cut to the chase and immediately get to the meat of a topic?

This game is certainly, what you would call "THE MOST AMERICAN!" And I love it!

It's really interesting to watch this after playing Armored Core 6, because yeah, I actually can see that they come from the same developer! AC6 doesn't control EXACTLY like MWC, but you'll be closer to the mark than if you came in from Dark Souls.

8:50 "Gundam that runs on freedom" I LOVE IT!!

The Mike Haggar style of leadership

New outro is rad, MWC based, ty bumbles
