The most american game ever made... - Metal Wolf Chaos (2004) Retrospective 

Now THIS is how you celebrate 'Murica Day 🦅

Fromsoft is a completely different breed now. Holy shit.

This 4th of July, be the American Japan thinks you are.

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!

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.

Shoutout to super best friends play for reviving the most nuanced From Software experience

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.

Happy 4th of July!

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 like to believe the American president in the AC universe is this man.

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

FromSoft knows how to make good mech games

WHAT THE F IS A KILOMETER?! 🗣🦅🦅🦅

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

BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN JUSTICE! (Thanks so much for talking about Ada in RE4 remake. She sounds so bad.)

I've been itching for a video to watch thanks bud

This is a cannon prequel to AC

This game looks absolutely incredible and I now need to play it. Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece

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

fantastic video! Had no idea about this game and will be picking it up on pc later 👍 Hope you're having a good one

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.

And I see nothing wrong with this glorious masterpiece

fantastic vid

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.

Fromsoft has always been unhinged

Finally, a game worthy of Rawhide Kobayashi's time.

Fuck it! 4th of July 2024 Here I Come!!!

I hope you cover mechwarrior, chromehounds, gungriffon, front mission ,steambot chronicles too .

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)

Bruh these voice lines! Perfect heel dialogue

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.

You guys remember Valkyria Chronicles? It kind of has a similar vibe (if that makes sense) as Lost Planet.

You should do Advent Rising next, im sure you will have an interesting time researching and playing the tragedy that is Advent Rising.

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.

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.

neat video

This game looks like a ton of fun

Another to add to my list.

LETS PAAAAAARRRTTTYYYY

American Armored Core looks crazy

Another game that fits the Japanese only release for Xbox is phantom dust which is free now 😊

*RIIICCCHHARRRD!*

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

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.

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

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

ah yes, the not so distant future of 2016

o7 We salute the flag, and the Ravens in the AC6 waiting room.

alternate history where the US govt invested in mechs instead of social media panopticon

Armouri Ca For Freedom

President shinji sounds just like meat canyon

If only Metal Wolf Chaos, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, and Vanquish were a shared universe

HOW DO YOU GROUND POUND!!!!!

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

One nation 🇺🇲

Damn. The Japanese could see through CNN since the early 2000s

There is no disconnect in the dub, this is literally how american people sound to non-american people hahaha

Befor the armored core games they made kinda darck souls games

Fromsoft made Bill Clinton the game before the Bill Clinton kid made it a meme

"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).

The jabs at CNN in this game are precious

“Metal Wolf Chaos” sounds like something weebs would love

FIRST

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.

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 😴

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.

If you like the cheesy comedy you really need to review metal gear rising
