30:20 "So, this whole time Raiden had the option of talking back to their final words, and just didn't?" He does a little bit, actually. Raiden has some banter with Monsoon after he beats him, and interrogates the semi-dead Sundowner about Armstrong's plans.
So the final boss of this DLC is basically a Khornate Dreadnought dropped into the metal gear universe. And he's still less of an asshole than Mistral.
I should mention that before Clover became Platinum Games, the last game they made was Okami, where you played as a god wolf. If you've never played Okami, seriously, pick it up. It is a great work of art. Also, I think someone high up in Platinum is a big dog lover. Between Okami, Bladewolf and that concept of a robot dog that fuses with the player's armor and weapons, there is a heavy emphasis on super dogs.
I enjoy that Khamsin is seriously freaking out while Wolf's jabbing a chainsaw sword repeatedly into his chest, that just seems like a really reasonable reaction to me.
"So why did Doktor make Bladewolf into another wolf body?" This is actually answered in a codec with Bladewolf at some point. Basically, wolf was "born" and learned the motor skills of a canine shaped body. By suddenly putting him in a human body, it would be like you going to sleep and waking up in the body of an octopus; you know what it is and how it should move, but you have ZERO experience handling the needed motor control from the inside and would, physically, be like an infant all over again.
What I want in the sequel: Blade Wolf to grab a cigarette out of someone's mouth with his tail and say "This is a non-smoking flight." Even if they're not actually flying and that line doesn't really make sense in context, I would be happy.
For a while I thought Mistral's voice actress was the same lady that voiced Sylvia Christel in No More Heroes. It's not, but they DO sound very alike. I swear, if Mistral just said "head for the garden of madness", they'd be completely indistinguishable.
I'm surprised Chip didn't mention or show this, but the move where Khamsin throws Blade Wolf into the air and then hits him can actually be parried by BW. After BW gets thrown into the air, he can parry the second strike.
Blade Wolf kinda looks more like a big cat than a dog. I mean, huge upper joints, long swishy tail, loose limber movements, that thing where he holds his head and body well below his shoulders, more like a knife tiger or a butcher bobcat than a paring poodle in my opinion.
Doesn't the Metal Gear Wiki also say that Khamsin's in that frame because, like... He and his battalion got caught in an explosion, I think a nuclear blast, as he was driving a tank, and everyone but him died and he only lost his legs somehow and he got fused to the tank, but then he realized, 'Hey, wait up, I'm fused to a tank, this is amazing. Use this base, make me a big fuck-off battle frame, this is so much cooler than being a cyborg! Also a jet ax please.' If it isn't, it really should be.
I'm really surprised and disappointed to see that this DLC didn't cover any of the "scouting ahead" that Blade Wolf kept doing. Like, come on, you have a robot dog friend in your game, gave him no screen time because he was "helping" off camera, and your DLC doesn't focus on what he was doing that whole time?
that vr mission actually makes sense if you think of it from the point of the people training blade wolf, they want him to learn to kill on his own, so they would design the level like that so he would want to kill for more points instead of just stealthing it. also explains why they don't give the full 1000 point bonus, because they would want to build his desire to kill more for more points
"Raiden! Use your ninja-like skills to kill that huge-ass tank over there without it noticing you!" "I can't." "What! Why?!" "I don't have an animation for it."
Chip actually did miss some enemies in the 3rd VR mission here. He missed ONE Dwarf Gekko on the bottom floor, and I can assume that if you kill everything on the bottom floor it spawns a Gekko on the top floor. There's also one other man he missed on the top floor. That's pretty much it.
I hope he does the Jetstream Sam DLC soon, so I can decide the best line from the LP. So far, the best front runner is "AND HE TOOK NO DAMAGE" from early on.
Wolf I personally thought wasn't worth the money, it's a nice DLC but not really for the asking price. Sam is also asking for a bit much, but that had enough new stuff that I could at least pass it off.

@laz kar Skulls for the skull throne!
"Bladewolf's really good at parkour."
No, no, surely Bladewolf's really good at barkour.
I'll see myself out.
You had me howling with laughter.

Wait, Clover became Platinum?! That is my entire childhood continuing into my adulthood..
...That just fucked my head.

"You see only logic and reason. You...would never understand."
So...their fight is senseless and unreasonable?
No, Mistral just wants Armstrong's D.
Sounds about right. (Responding to SlamminWolfgang and YouNoobxD94 at the same time.)
Aren't they all?

Bladewolf:mistral stop giving me tips you are trying to hunt me down and destroy me
I love bosses that just sling obscenities at the player, like Khamsin and Armstrong.
29:19
Nothing is faster than a dog
"This dog knows how to throw pornography"
It knows what its cyber prey likes!
*Now read that in David Hayter's voice*
Now I want Blade Wolf to be a transformer in MGR2.
He would transform into a fucking motorbike
Sam and Bladewolf's DLC is free for download.
I like your pfp
Repede, another awesome dog like blade wolf
"If I got shot by, like, a rocket man..."
Your fumes would totes be burning up out here, alone, bro.
Doktor rebuilt Blade Wolf as a dog because he realized the importance of Raiden having a Dog-Shaped Robot Buddy.
For a while I thought Mistral's voice actress was the same lady that voiced Sylvia Christel in No More Heroes. It's not, but they DO sound very alike. I swear, if Mistral just said "head for the garden of madness", they'd be completely indistinguishable.
I thought that for a while to
it's the LQ-84 IF prototype. it is unique, it is Bladewolf.
Why has nobody mentioned how sunnys hair is “platinum” blonde?
that ghost-cat was high-skilled trained foxhound's stels-operation cat!
Blade Wolf: "I have no arms, and I must hug."
Me:it's ok blade wolf come here I'll give you some affection
Hearing all the talk about a sequel is so painful now.
It was really great how you synched the finishing moves to the music so well.
I'm surprised Chip didn't mention or show this, but the move where Khamsin throws Blade Wolf into the air and then hits him can actually be parried by BW. After BW gets thrown into the air, he can parry the second strike.

This DLC would have been better if Bladewolf's handler in Desperado was somehow a bear.
Wolf tapping laptop keys with his noodlefingers will never stop being funny.
Nice touch how Khamsin's mech has REX claw feet.
Trivia: Blade Wolf's tail tech was also used for the snake in Bayonetta 2!

I wish they programmed Bladewolf with a ton of dog puns.
6:28 This is now my desktop image.
Thanks Chip.

I wish there was a bonus VR mission that let you fight Khamsin as Raiden, with a new finisher and some new attacks.
32:15 The background music is a slow version of Collective Consciousness.
According to the Metal Gear Wiki a lot of Kamsin's background info comes from the Japanese page for the DLC, which details it.
You know what you get when you combine knife-a and gun-a?
Bayonetta.
I love my dog-shaped robot buddy.
that finishing move was awesome
Heh, Khamsin's song name makes sense cause he's full of hot air... even having to call himself a Wind of Destruction in the lyrics.
"Raiden! Use your ninja-like skills to kill that huge-ass tank over there without it noticing you!"
"I can't."
"What! Why?!"
"I don't have an animation for it."
"Because I don't have my chainsaw I cannot assist you in combat raiden"

This video sure is old, and I am not looking elsewhere, but the missing BP might be hidden in what appears to be a breakable wall @ 21:30
I have a feeling this Lt. Surge-looking guy that you kill is supposed to be some form of satire.
Hum wagging his tale at then end
I infer that you enjoyed Wonderful 101 (as would any gamer), looking forward to review and perhaps future lets play.
I hope he does the Jetstream Sam DLC soon, so I can decide the best line from the LP. So far, the best front runner is "AND HE TOOK NO DAMAGE" from early on.
much blade. very blood. so doge.
Aw, his tail is wagging!
I have no way of telling, but I et there's secret bp pickups in that big box at 21:34
The budget didn't have enough money. ._.
I'd love a Mistral DLC
I'd buy that.
29:18 Spinning Dog Missle!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
The same person that posted that one I linked has done the same for all the bosses.
Joey Hooves. What are you doing here?
Hot Wind Blowing is too good for Khamsin.
I AM A WIIIND OF DEE STRUCT SHUUUN!
Blade Wolf seems to lack the finesse of Raiden. That's what would bug me the most playing this DLC.
Yes
I'll take 80 dozen!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BATTLE POINTS
Hnnnngh, Khamsin has the best music.
Bladewolf is better at those one-liners than Raiden.
So is Khamsin, like.....America?
Dog Sombrero DLC ($25)
I sure hope I'm first
Love the Chip
Wolf I personally thought wasn't worth the money, it's a nice DLC but not really for the asking price. Sam is also asking for a bit much, but that had enough new stuff that I could at least pass it off.
Oh nevermind
Dunno about the Wolf DLC, but I highly recommend the Sam DLC.
18:37 ehh.... single people wont find this joke funny -_____
I'm single, I thought it was funny.
+PTp1ranha okay. *lonely
This DLC is worse than Jetstream Sam's except for that it has original content in the form of this boss fight.
I guess you could say,
the dog days are over.
