Nice GAME review. You are a really good GAME reviewer.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks, Aaron. You are a very special BOY.

Wonderful as always Cody, thanks for the review. Love the Weta works collaboration in this. Couldn't agree more with your intro sequence too :P Oh and thank you for your top 10 video from a few weeks ago, convinced me to pick up undaunted, what a compelling game!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you. Undaunted is indeed truly great. Glad I could help.

[@benja6902]

On his science TV show, Adam Savage went to Weta Workshop and talked to the designers and saw how the models and game was created - very interesting!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

That is interesting.

Okay, this looks like a lot of fun. A giant mech game that doesn't take hours is definitely something I want. Your opening bit - I both vehemently agree and disagree with what you said and that's never happened to me before.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Give me time. I think I can do better.

[@femmedracula6857]

[@NoeAnton]

Great Review! :)

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks!

[@KXC42069]

Thanks! *would be curious how you thought it played with 2,3 players? (also, what similar "brawlers" would you recomend checking out)

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Only played four player. I thought the Judge Dredd game that Osprey recently put out was really good.

[@nerdfatha]

Dangit, I was hoping you would say it would suck so I could stop wanting it! lol!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha!

[@chrismichael9556]

Do you think this game is worth it if your player count is only two? Great video , thanks for the content 👍

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I think you could have fun with it two player.

[@calagarx1950]

The game looks like a spin on Giga Robo. I'd love to see you review that game.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

CalagarX I’m not familiar with that one.

[@calagarx1950]

It's a smaller kickstarter game that came out a few years back inspired by giant robot anime/kaiju/etc movies and shows from Japan. It's a tactical combat style game that emphasizes unique combinations of piloting skills and robot abilities, as you duke it out across a destructible city. It looks really cool. Might be right up your alley. Here's a quick preview if you're interested: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PWoqyEfLuAmck And here's a Let's Play: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3e1dnqcrbBmatk I'd be curious to see your distinguished take on it ;)

[@bobdole8830]

It's mind blowing Cryptozoic managed to produce a game with such a great component quality without completely fucking up SOMETHING. So far I have not purchased ONE product from them that didn't have some really nasty production issues, and I have 2 shelves filled with their games. Customer service varies from really quick and helpful to some glue sniffing baffoon who isn't capable of replacing shit for 3 months and has English comprehension and writing skills comparable to mine (a filthy job stealing foreigner). Worst case so far, someone at customer service claimed they don't have spare replacement products for the adventure time tournament box BUT there would be a reprint in a few months and I should get back to them. The Box btw was supposed to store all the decks they sold so far, with the minor inconvenience of being designed in a way that wouldn't allow the decks to actually fit in their slots, and I'm not talking about sleeved ones. I mean how thick do you have to be to design, produce and sell a storage box that doesn't fit the decks it was designed to hold. When I contacted them half a year later they not only told me there wasn't a reprint but that the product line is no longer supported and that I can basically go fuck myself while simultaneously having sold said product on Amazon. Yeah, up yours too buddy, up yours too. Long story short, I'll never buy from them again.

[@jimsmith7445]

Dude.... didn't you love the WWII Museum in New Orleans????? Did you go to the Confederate Museum across the street?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I really loved the WWII Museum. Very cool place. I didn't eve know about the Confederate Museum. Shucks!

[@calagarx1950]

A colonoscopy would still be better than the last Jedi...

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

CalagarX Indeed.

[@femmedracula6857]

Having experienced both I cannot agree. If there's one thing you can say about TLJ, regardless of your opinion about the film, it's that you don't have to spend two days drinking bland garbage to empty your intestines. On the other hand, they *do* sedate you for the actual procedure.

[@KXC42069]

did you know rhado hasnt played rebellion OR BSG?? please fly to england and fix that...

I suppose. In the way that a knee to the groin is better than a baseball bat to the groin.
