yaaas. I really want to play the game but due to limited hardware (my laptop sucks, can't run PCSX2 properly) or too cheap to buy a PS2 just to play SC3, haven't gotten a chance! Besides Fire Emblem, happen to know any other games that is similar to SC3 Chronicles of the Sword?
@@HeroesHoshi As far as I know, there's the isometric tactical games- like Fire Emblem or Tactics Ogre- and then there's the games like Dynasty Warriors. Very few have tried to bridge that gap so there's not much to choose from. However, there's a couple I can name that are sort of in this arena. Brigandine: Legend of Forsena is an iso-tactical RPG for the PSX. Its approach to the genre is unique enough to make it a cult classic to this day since it revolves around monster summoning. You also have the Langrisser series, specifically Langrisser IV for the PSX. This series has you commanding entire dividions of soldiers against one another. This series has sadly lost a lot of its edge in recent years, but Langrisser IV still remains the best one. I know there's other titles out there but most of them don't quite do what SC3 did. I'll try to find you more later.
I understand competitive players hate this game because the combat isn't as good as SC 2, but damn this game had A LOT of single player content. I remember spending HOURS trying to unlock every piece of armor
Oh how this bring back my heavy gamer days when I was a kid …but there's one feature Im sure its over looked but helpful! When creating a character look at the background to see what items change the alignment of your creation😌 The fire= Good Guy ( brighter the flames you've made a hero)🔥 Calm clear waters= Typical neutral guy ( you'll hear it lol)💧 Hearing wind= has their own motives (no matter its good or evil)☁ Dark and stormy purple clouds= Bad Guy ( darker the clouds you've made a villain)🌩 R.I.P "Keonnia" my first custom in this game she was the "Dancer" very pretty too, eyes were a lavish "Seagreen"😍 miss her and those times....plus the RING OUTS!😫 Should totally make this a one disk series for our now systems, would be so awesome!!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
This is, without a doubt my favorite mode in any fighting game, the story in Chronicles of the Sword is so engaging that I think I like it even better than the main story of the series...and Soul Calibur 3 was the high point of the series in terms of story telling (as well as voice acting), with Zasalamel being the main antagonist, Siegfried returning, Nightmare splitting away from him and their epic confrontation.
Soulcalibur 3 was the game that got me into the series so I am looking forward to watching through this! Although I did not get far into Chronicles of the Sword so it will be interesting to finally see what happens. Reading your video description, I agree with you in that SC3 has the best character creation in the series. SC5 has a decent one and is the next best thing in my opinion (I hated the 4th games creator). I do want to ask what your thoughts on SC6 are and what you want to see from its Character Creator?
So far, SC6 looks pretty good. Bringing back all the characters is a good move and Geralt is a fantastic guest character. I want to see unique movesets for the CAS again, but more than that I want some sort of story mode for them like CotS or something akin to it. I like SC3 so much because it's a fantastic single player experience, with an extremely vast story mode for each character and CotS having it's own original story for your CAS with some entertaining RPG elements you don't see anywhere else in the game. Basically, the more SC6 is like SC3, the happier I'll be.
How come the characters creation parts look more realistic in 3&4 than 5&6,Soulcalibur 6 character creation pissed me off with how lazy it is and if anyone notice how come the characters you create on Soulcalibur 5&6 have no expression on there faces,it feels I made a boring doll with a frozen plastic face I wish they would’ve just stuck with soulcalibur 3 customization the best one yet at least on that they had their own fighting styles and you can actually make them good or evil as you can see in this game.
My brother beat this game long time ago, it's like literally I've watched my brother played this game but I usually liked played normal characters than Story of C
This needs to return with 7 it been to long since we've had such a great side event in any game. Capture forces and towers bring your own OC and raise a kingdom. That and they need to step up Ai v Ai battle because i can't stand 6s ridiculous bot actions on very hard Ai
Pffft, no way. You'd have to be a perfect player to do some of the objectives like not losing a single fight. I defeat and take over everyone and everything on the maps, with the exception of the final stage, but that's as far as I go with it. I don't do it on the final stage because it's hard as hell just to reach the boss and still have a capable team of fighters to defeat him.
I liked the concept of CoS. Just wished they had custom stages for CoS instead of re-using existing stages. Also the load times were pretty bad. But if you install SC3 on PS2 HDD, the load times are instant lol
Disable auto saving, apparently that's one of the causes. Another is if you delete something off the memory card, so I'd recommend having one solely for that game.
This was what sold me on Soul Calibur 3. With this almost-Fire Emblem side story, it's essentially 2 games in 1. I wish more games did this today.

This shit needs to be brought back......this was my favorite part of the game
Well we kinda do have it in Soul Calibur 6 where you’re custom character is the main hero in the mode.
@@alexcarter00642 Except it doesnt have all the exclusive styles
I understand competitive players hate this game because the combat isn't as good as SC 2, but damn this game had A LOT of single player content. I remember spending HOURS trying to unlock every piece of armor
This mode is the main reason SC III is in my top SoulCal games.
same. that and the large amounts of armor and clothing to unlock
I admit it after SC3 i bought the new ones only for the hope one of them bring it back "Chronicles of the sword"
I miss this game! This was my fave mode of the game!
Oh how this bring back my heavy gamer days when I was a kid …but there's one feature Im sure its over looked but helpful!
When creating a character look at the background to see what items change the alignment of your creation😌
The fire= Good Guy ( brighter the flames you've made a hero)🔥
Calm clear waters= Typical neutral guy ( you'll hear it lol)💧
Hearing wind= has their own motives (no matter its good or evil)☁
Dark and stormy purple clouds= Bad Guy ( darker the clouds you've made a villain)🌩
R.I.P "Keonnia" my first custom in this game she was the "Dancer" very pretty too, eyes were a lavish "Seagreen"😍
miss her and those times....plus the RING OUTS!😫
Should totally make this a one disk series for our now systems, would be so awesome!!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Soundtrack in this game is awesome. Still listening to it to this day
Sick character designs! I also went with Nightmare's moveset when I played :D
This is the best things of soul calibur
Combining story, fighting , and Turn based stratrgy
Think I shall enjoy watching this playthrough.
The weakerthey are, the louder they fart.
Spent so many hours on this. Good tmes.
Damn, not only do you cover Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors, but you also cover Soul Calibur too? Talk about nostalgia overload-
It’s just insane that there’s just about no other game out there like this one.
I know. I just wish my laptop could handle the ps2 emulator. been itching to revisit this game

OMG my childhood s2
I’ve finished the mode with the occupation of MONK.
I too am fond of Nightmare, but my favorite is Amy :)
I ended up liking her quite a bit in SC4. Her ending was pretty damn adorable lol.
I wish SC 6 had this ...
I know. Libra of souls just isn't the same
Yeah this mode was a lot a fun, growing up

12:39 sounded funny
i miss this game soooo much. id emulate it but my laptop cant run ps2 emulator worth a damn. the framerate is just horrid when i try to play it
Will you try to meet all objectives in each stage?
Pffft, no way. You'd have to be a perfect player to do some of the objectives like not losing a single fight. I defeat and take over everyone and everything on the maps, with the exception of the final stage, but that's as far as I go with it.

How are you able to use soul edge
You unlock it by playing this mode again in a new game file. Or other modes I suppose too.
I've never managed to finish that minigame. My save always got corrupted, does anybody know why?
Disable auto saving, apparently that's one of the causes. Another is if you delete something off the memory card, so I'd recommend having one solely for that game.
You ever gonna play the BEST soulcalibur?
I already am.
I meant 2 lmao, though I do wish it had a mode like this in the game. Who's your fave character? Mine's Maxi or Assassin
Nightmare, followed by Zasalamel.
Thoughts on 6?
Looks good so far, but I'm hoping for more single player options like what SC3 has.
Master Kuk lmao
I love how the edgy voice lines just sounds like a neckbeard trying his hardest
FINE, I GUESS I'll watch. Whatever.
Is this your first time playing it?
Nope, I played it a bunch as a kid. It's been several years though.
Needs an Xbox one remake.
