Metal Slug 6 One Life Game (Level-8, Marco)

Difficulty: Level-8, Hard Mode. No cheats used.
It's been a while since my last full game run, huh?
Playing as Marco quite honestly feels like another Easy Mode to the game; his handgun is so powerful on its own oftentimes it will suffice on its own, or even out damage other weapons like your melee strikes or even power guns. Unfortunately, my fingers are pretty freaking slow at firing, so I can't take full advantage of the hand cannon that Marco carries, but still enough to get the job done ;)
While my previous 3 MS6 runs are done on the PS2 version of the game, I finally got a machine that can handle the Atomiswave version of this game, whose sound effects I MUCH prefer, simply because the vulcan cannons don't sound nearly as annoying as the PS2 counterparts. Unfortunately, I no longer have my video editing software I used with my old machine, hence why I'm uploading this as a single 23GB (!!!) video.
Well, I think I rambled on enough. Enjoy the video!

The flawless animation in these games are way ahead of their time. To this day, they still look superb compare to what we see in video games these days.

[@linclogames]

Yeah...the entire art direction was incredible. Some of the best video game art ever.

We live in a world of fear now where everyone just keeps doing the same things to stay safe. Back then people took bigger risks when making games and movies. Corporations know that they can make trash and people eat it up anyway now. You can take a risk on a new movie or remake the lion king and even if it looks absolutely terrible it still makes billions of dollars.

He gets out jumping and then the tanks explodes, as the queen alien falls, he also notices he saved himself from crash landing if the tank didn't explode. Marco: That was close... Then the explosion of the queen alien appears. Marco: Oh my god not again, not again.. NOOOOOO!. And after a few moments of suspense, he survives again. Marco: Wow... you know, I've never been so happy to see you, Morden. Morden: You really are hard to kill.. aren't you?.

[@iancharles1571]

After the weird place the Metal Slug series was during 4 & 5, This (6) feels like a far more fitting "next generation" of the Metal Slug brand in terms of ideas, plotline, level design, and others. I can totally see that downhill rolling rocket tank existing in a Metal Slug game for the Neo Geo hypothetically. The in-game world and everyone in it feels like they're just the same as you left them, just on a new mission many years later with (again, hypothetically) decorations and a new platoon under them. (Movie Trailer Narration Voice)...And things have changed significantly during their years off the battlefield, like suddenly having new guns to accommodate for a reserve weapon, and gold doubloons magically appear out of thin air by the thousands, enriching and irritating them at once. When the Venusians arrive, the natural predators of the once-feared Martians, the Regular, Rebel, and Martian armies unite, and must work together with their respective older and newer generations, to crush this gruesome enemy unlike any other they've seen before!

I've played this game so many times, but this is the first time I'm hearing audio this crisp. What version are you playing? Also, is it just me or are some of the weapons sound different too, like the vulcan on the slug being the most prominent example, somehow this one doesn't grate on your ears.

This also came out almost ten years after contra 3. Edit: if not even longer then that.

[@Dynamic3DLtd]

​@@iamthehype3684 True, but my comment would pretty much still hold true for metal slug original in 96, the graphics and animation on this franchise have always been on another level since day 1. I'm in no way dissing contra III, rather using it as the benchmark for this type of game, I fully understand the hardware on the neo geo and increase in cart size is going to allow them to achieve this, but Metal Slug is still a work of art to this day IMO.

I just realized something. You know how everyone mocks the aliens in Signs for running around on an alien planet stark naked? The Venusians/Invaders in this game have the same problem. The Martians in previous Metal Slug games at least spent most of their time in their flying saucers, only very rarely setting foot on Earth, and when they did they at least grabbed their sidearms. The Venusians/Invaders run and fly around not just naked despite their bipedal structure implying they might very well want some clothes, but completely unarmed too, relying on their rollout melee attack
