26:31 "Bad Ending"

@@KLONOA105 Definitely. There's another one though, if Khaos is destroyed in time before it escapes the Judgement Sword.

Stages 1-3 can be rearranged while 4 to 7 are in order

I did notice that, what is the lore reason for this?

​@@Evilriku13 In the end of the previous game thunderforce 4, the ship was nearly destroyed and left floating in space until earth found it years later. Then after the AI in this game became self aware, it takes control of this ship to stop you.

@@huamak The AI you mention from V is actually Guardian. It's actually Khaos from Thunder Force III that took over Rynex. How? Faust was carrying it to study its technologies and ORN army. And guess what happened after Roy and Carol destroy Faust's satellite form? Khaos was unwillingly release from Faust's grasp, free to rebuild the ORN Empire. Starting by possessing Rynex, which in turn would allow Khaos to possess Guardian.

Okay but why is it that way? Does the story explain that somewhere?

@@Evilriku13 Yes. Thunder Force IV ends with the pilots being ejected and rescued from the damaged Rynex, which floated across space for a long time, until it reached *OUR* Solar System. Humans discovered the Rynex, nicknamed it "Vastian Steel", or "Vasteel" for short, and studied it on the lunar base, before creating a research lab on Earth known as Babel, along with an AI called "The Guardian" to study it. Eventually, humanity advanced all because they discovered Vasteel, a lot of their technology directly being the result of the Vasteel research. Then the Guardian went on a rampage and wiped out most of Earth since the Vasteel actually contained the data of Khaos (the final boss of Thunder Force 3), which uploaded itself into the ship moments before the destruction of its shuttle Faust (the final boss of Thunder Force 4) and hijacked the Guardian. This effectively gave Khaos control over the Guardian's power, the Judgment Sword Fleet (Thunder Force 5's fifth stage) and the original Vasteel itself. The duel between the Gauntlet and Vasteel is essentially Khaios' final desperation move since it's only a matter of time before the Gauntlet infiltrates the Guardian's sanctum and put the corrupted supercomputer out of its misery.

@@Evilriku13 the antagonist of the game the self aware AI Guardian rebuilt it in an attempt to combat the player ship the Gauntlet The Gauntlet is actually the result of reverse engineering the Rynex’s technology which is why it has similar capabilities to it or even superior ones it’s never explained in game tho you just fight it because why not

@@Scaraboy13 Correction : through Guardian was self aware, it didn't prevent it to help humanity, unlike Khaos. This isn't Guardian. This is Khaos possessing Guardian.

I'll take retro 3D graphics over modern 3D graphics any day.

I’m with both comments 👍🏼✨

PS1 has really vivid colors PS2 tends to have more "dirty" realistic graphics while the PS1 just has bright ass neon colors.

Each stage and each boss has different theme, even mini title for this game is "the perfect system"

It plays real smooth at the very least.

I thought the game locked you out of the good ending by letting any boss scape.

It's what happens when you willfully refuse to use the aiming laser! Or was it call free range?

@@mghegotagun Free Range

@@byonemesis I prefer my lasers like I prefer my chicken: Free Range.

It’s actually kinda possible to defeating the Guardian even on master with the default weapons but you do need the claw devices (yes I knows it’s Craw but still calling it Claw) I only said kinda cuz you know her Thunder Sword on the 3rd phase have a janky as fuck hit box when she doesn’t swing that sword

@@morrowlterraslove It is possible indeed to beat Khaos Ascendant (it's actually Khaos possessing Guardian)

I dream about games like this almost every night futuristic shooters with giant mech bosses

I guess each boss is based on rock band, cause you know Iron Maiden?

@@angelis1123 My late grandpa had an Iron Maiden poster in his store room & I've seen it since I was a tiny kid. (I'm 39 now.) Who doesn't know who Iron Maiden is?

My personal favorite video game boseeee!!!

Rather, it this. Khaos itself.

I call it "Extreme optimization"

It's intentional

Skill issue

I like GunHead.

If khaos must be destroyed, you must keep constantly shoot his head, don't even lose any second from beginning, except when he make fusion time

@@Yukizazie There’s a reason why I always use Free Range on the bastard…

where
