#GiantRobots #ep1 #RAD
This is the hardest I've laughed at a game grumps in ages. I really like when they play old, obscure, cult classic titles. It's their arguably best content.
Agreed
@@IcepickEvans buckle up, this game gets wild.
yes MORE OF THESE KINDS OF GAMES
I love games like pantsu hunter. It's a perfect balance between so bad it's good, and terrible translation. I couldn't stop laughing
My absolute favorite Game Grumps content is the poorly translated absolutely broken games like Kitty Love, inject that straight in my veins I don’t need anything else.
Checking in on Grandma, only for her to just FUCKING EXPLODE, is the peak of fiction
the Big Bad Wolf learned his lesson from the 3 Little Pigs, he ain't playing around no more.
It's the ultimate story device... the apogee of narrative arcs.
Not to mention the npc guy who got flung in the explosion
Guess that stuff is normal in that universe compared to the giant mechs they're dealing with
Lost my complete shit at this. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
it kills me whenever she gets flung in a spray of blood then immediately goes into a cutscene like nothing happened
She’s on that thug energy 😂
Oh my god, RAD out of nowhere! I sent them my copy of this game back when Dan first joined, and at this point I thought I was never going to see it on the channel. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!
I thought it'd be rad one day if they tackled Remote Control Dandy (boy, what a bizarre choice for Imports on PS UG CD Mag) which this is a successor-of-sorts to, so I guess I have you to thank by way of this majesty? orz orz orz
so you're to blame .......
jk
10 years finally culminated into a classic, imagine if it really was your copy of the game they’re playing though.
Grandma would be so proud 🥹
I SALUTE you for providing them with it. I was close to doing the same at that time too, but I couldn't give up my copy...
when they made their game library public several years ago, this was the only game I searched for to make sure they had it.
You may THINK we're between Danganronpa chapters, but I noticed in the opening credits the name of the composer Masafumi Takada, who ALSO composed the music in the Danganronpa series 😂😂
The music is good. I've listened to the Danganronpa music just because. The execution mix is great for runs! 👍
same composer made the music for "No More Heroes", everyone should check it out, some of their best work
Wait so it’s all just danganronpa?
@@TheLegendofGumby In an "Everything Becomes Crab" sort of way, I suppose so! Lol
MIND BLOWN
In loving memory of:
14:06 Grandma.
17:36 Dr. Hourai.
46:26 and all the innocent people involved in this catastrophic incident.
and probably Nanao.
🕊
Or at least Nanao's co-workers and managers.
This is like the direct midpoint between Michigan: Report from Hell and Neon Genesis Evangelion
That play through is one of my favorites, so many good bits
Once the voice acting started up I literally said “this is giving Michigan: Report from Hell” lol I’m glad I wasn’t the only one
Spot on
I hadn’t checked comments yet and I thought the same haha
The POV just being wherever you happen to be standing is such an insane choice this is going to be amazing
I saw some gameplay where one of the robots was carrying the player in its hand and it looked very wonky.
standing on the shoulder is the right choice.
Its basically a 2nd person game. Thats… interesting
He's not doing it wrong? I'm a half hour in and was honestly waiting for the grumps to find some button they missed that makes the game reasonable.
@@davidprince6877 They're only doing it "wrong" in the sense that part of the challenge is figuring out a good vantage point to watch the fight from. Usually on the roof of a nearby building is ideal, but you can also sit on your robot's shoulder if you're confident you won't get hit and knocked off.
I've never heard of this at all but I'm glad they're playing something Arin seemed pretty excited for. This should be a fun series!
this game for some reason reminds me so much of that robot fighting game they played a few years ago...the one with "Cold one" or whatever lmao
@@skippythealien9627big zam??
It definitely looks like it, can't wait for more!
This is such an underrated gem of a game I got when I was 7 years old. I love RAD to pieces and I wish I still had a copy to play again 😭
@@skippythealien9627 Metal and Lace
When I first saw the Spike Spiegel looking professor just standing there like a dope i was thinking: "how funny would it be if the robot just blew him up while he was monologuing." And mere seconds later my wish was granted and it was hysterical
A childhood classic that no one has ever heard of. Believe me when I tell you lovelies. This game is amazing. The mechanics, the terrible voice acting, the action, and the terrible voice acting. Please I'm only on the first second on the video. I know this will be a great one. To all the Game Grumps, thank you all for being an amazing part of my life. You guys rock!
I guess I could destroy this place accidentally on purpose.
I'm so glad they went with the unique control scheme instead of the easier one, it's an entire part of the game's personality. It's just more fun.
Can it truly be a "childhood classic" if no one's ever heard of it? I might be being overly semantic, but still.
It's a good game but it's a ps2 era game which is why Noone has really heard of this game, arin really dug this out of a trunk of lost games lol
My buddy and I loved this game back when we were in high school, we first tried it on a magazine demo disk and had to find a copy (was terribly hard to, even then). Still love this game, wish there were others like it.
Oh my god, this game. It's like Animal Soccer World mixed with Evangelion, with just a dash of Battle Construction Vehicles
@@alexaurorus9767 and Michigan Report from hell level voice acting
3:04 I love the running gag of Arin trying to troll Dan with stupid conspiracy theories and Dan immediately not having it.
"Shut up Arin" lol
Yeah except he says it enough I think he's not joking. He really believes it.
@@Lu-db1uf what are you talking about? They also say they enjoy kissing dads a lot -- do you think they actually believe that, too?
@@Lu-db1uf dense?
@@Lu-db1uf I'm pretty sure Arin says he eats poop more than that. Doesn't mean he actually does it. 🤷
That robot really made a b-line straight for Grandma's house. Damn.
Grandma must've had some wild secrets
I think maybe Grandma went to space or something
He had 1 mission and by god he was ginna execute it
11:30 I was wheezing from laughing at the stomp. It simultaneously kicked all the blood out of her body, and also only did 25% damage to her.
The Chairman's a tough gal. I can see why the board elected her.
This was on the short list? Really?
14:00-14:20 Nevermind, I am 1000% on board for this to be a full playthrough.
IMMEDIATE CLICK, FUCK YEAH
This game is notorious for it's absolute "what the fuck is going on" kind of cutscenes, and I'm so glad the boys are getting to experience it 😂
bruh I'm 15 minutes in and this game has hit us with like 20 different proper nouns with no elaboration whatsoever lmao 10/10
Heck yeah!
No kidding. This is some top tier All Your Base is Belong to Us.
They intentionally dubbed it badly to evoke the same feeling as the old anime dubs in the 80s and 90s
@@Vanity0666No they didn't lol. They just used a really cheap localization company with no VO experience. It's why none of the actors are people with any experience, even for that time.
Words cannot describe the happiness I feel that they chose this game. After all these years.
Well, this is… not what any of us might have expected.
Nope. I was expecting Zelda or Princess Peach game. But maybe those are longer so they will do them after D3
Honestly, Given how long Chapter 2 was, this is a breather foe the grumps before they head to Chaptet 3
I was expecting the silent hill 2 remake tbh
Or some random spooky game
I was expecting, nay, hoping, for TCG Shop Sim tbh.
FUCK YES. One of my absolute favorite games ever. I can't wait until 20 episodes from now when Arin has mastered the controls and is stunting on the Volgara. They make doing cool shit in this game feel so cathartic by making the robot so frictional to control. It's such rad game design.
Future tip for Arin: you can fly up and stand on top of buildings for a better view!
I always personally kind of gamed the system by having my person stand on the shoulder of the robot. Gave a great view and, so long as I didn't get punched, made it very easy to not get stomped on 🤣
"Spike Speigal in 40 years?" Well, the character designs were done by the same guy who did Cowboy Bebop's so... sort of.
Any connection with Ghost Stories? Nanao kinda look like one of the characters (probably not, an anime girl with bangs and braids is not really unique)
@jadaz5818 you're so right this artstyle is incredibly Ghost Stories
Character designer from Cowboy Bebop, music from Dangonronpa, and voice acting from Michigan: Report From Hell. The holy trifecta
Gigantic Drive - or Robot Alchemic Drive is your nasty - was one of those games that made me realize the significance of PERSPECTIVE in how a game feels. How do you make giant robots not just feel like Master Chief running around in slow motion? Make the player see the world from a different perspective. From the ground. From atop a building. From the robots shoulder. It's one of the best-made mecha games ever, and OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS DUB, WHY? NO! STOP! And yet people also find it charming and impossible to love without that dub. The point is, the game is great.
I love old Japanese game dubs because of how they consistently hire people who can’t act
@@Broomer52the actors actually went on record saying that the dub is intentionally bad because the director was trying to capture the goofy dub feeling that was around in the 80s and 90s
This game would kick ass in VR.
@@clashmovator6130 YES! I've had this same thought before!!
That truly olde-school pre-Gundam, kid-with-the-remote-control giant robot style. You don't see a lot of that anymore these days.
Starting the episode: ah man. They aren’t doing ghoul grumps?! Thats a bummer.
Minutes later: this is the best game they have played in years…
Arin laughing at Grandma being blown up is my new text tone 😂
9:43 - "Why didn't they say your name in the menu screen?"
All the player character choices are the "sole heir of the bankrupt Tsukioka family"
LOL "This road was made for Glang!" *proceeds to destroy the street and 3 bridges and ran over a bunch of cars which did the same or more destruction than the other robot lol.
ahh RAD, i remember buying the one copy at some walmart. I like how no matter what the CHAIRMAN does, they just completely ruin Nanao's life with robots...like it had to be on purpose. You dont destroy someone's home 30 times by accident.
I found mine at a CD warehouse. I remember uppercutting a Volgara Harrier right into her grandma's house. I can't remember if that resulted in a game over or just destroyed her emotionally for the rest of the game.
RAD? Don't you mean: "Really, Arin?" -Dan
@@shademaster24601 if you wreck all her work places (bakery, cafe, etc) during the fights i think i remember she just whips out a book. scans it for a new job and says something like "hmmmm exotic dancer...well rents due" or something. i swear the volgara were gunning for her the whole time.
Oh my god, you have to control the MASSIVE robot while in the perspective of the little girl!? I love this!
apperently, on thetop iof the screen it said toyu can switch perspective by pressing the select button
This unironically rules
51:15 That moment where an entire skyscraper comes toppling down and the camera pans back to Gllang just standing there like "oops"
I like how with these giant mech games it’s always
Artillery bombardment: inneffective
Air strikes: ineffective
Punches: EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
In the EDF series (which this preceess ) this also extends to single protagonist with a shotgun:most effective
Well no one ever expects the Spanish Inquistion, so......
Please please PLEASE!
Continue this, Grumps!
We need to get to the Bakery!
BREAD AND WATER SOUP
And the soup
give her a break, she was feeling a little anemic
No, the bakery!
That’s where she works!
Definitely didn't have THIS on my long series bingo card. Between the voice acting, bizarre story, and weird gameplay, this has the potential to be one beautiful disaster of a Grumps playthrough. Love Dan comparing these random accents to the ones from one of my favorite MST3K episodes, Werewolf. "Paul, you is a wurwilf."
"The Meganites were never intended to be weapons"
So the giant punching robot is for WHAT then???
uh, uhm... uh... f-f-farm work. Yeah. Farming.
Giant punching robot _with huge tank canons,_ mind you!
*PLEASURE*
@@gasolinejoy .............sex..........it was designed for sex.
@@designator7402 that's literally the opening cutscene for Titanfall 😂
The accent Arin's doing sounds like a mix of Jean-Claude Van Damme and the one he used for "Sure thing, you betcha, Jellybongus" Horse Girl Adventure 😂
It reminds me of Tommy Wiseau, especially with the stilted cadence from the voice-acting.
12:34 Shes elderly, and trapped. We cant leave an eldery person. Theyre elderly.
The only thing worse woukd be if she were left behind!
god i know joke!! its on the tip of my tongue, what video was this from again??
@@loveeantonia6949Michigan report from hell. I rewatched those 2 videos so much I remember every joke from them lmao
@@Danariya1 Its such a rediculous game lol
BRISCOOOOOOO
Rest in peace Mochi, may you get many treats and butt pats in the sky.
I want to be mad that the Dr is almost certainly a character trace of Spike Spiegel. I want to be mad that it sounds like the voice actors were given only their lines with zero reference material and were told to read like they were reading a children's book. But......I....love this?
Toshihiro Kawamoto designed the characters for this game, so the Spike hair makes perfect sense!
"I'm just a little girl."
- Arin "I'm actually a large, fat man" Hanson, really living up to the Internet stereotype
Guy In Real Life
Discord mods
I feel like this is one of those games with a lore textbook that was intended to be sold with the game until it was decided that it would cost too much, so they just didn't. Why is the evil giant robot talked about like its a living thing that evolved to this point?
It’s a late-game reveal, but…
The volgara robots aren’t robots-they’re the actual aliens. They roboticized themselves so they could go out and destroy potential rival civilizations.
As a species, they abandoned the flesh to pursue mechanized perfection-the Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k would be proud.
"Take this giant robot to fight.."
"Yay"
"While you stand on it cause we didn't design a cockpit."
"Oh no!!"
Oh man, I loved this game, me and a buddy used to take turns with this back in the day. Such a cool concept, such bad voice acting.
"Oh no, that's where Nanao works."
"The number of injured and dead has already topped two thousand!"
"that's terrible... We can get those numbers up! Go team!"
Know nothing about this game but Arin seemed excited about it. Can’t wait to see what it is!
46:26 I was wondering if those people were going to get out of the way, or Gllang was just going to clip _through_ them or.... Oh, I see. That's all fine then, I suppose.
"What's a wicket?"
It's the barrier used in fences, sometimes called bollards if they're used to stop cars from going through a pedestrian street.
Actually, it's an Ewok from Super Star Wars.😂
I can't believe we stared at a Giant Robot Selection Screen for a whole minute without a single mention of BIG ZAM
That Mystery Science Theater episode was "Werewolf" where the lady also says "Waaarewuuulf."
"So you & Noel is in it for fame & fortune?"
"Yes, we is."
That's the one where the movie censors out the "God" in "God damn werewolf", leaving really awkward pauses while characters keep moving their mouth.
The fact that I got an ad break JUST AFTER Grandma’s house blew up. 😂😂😂
Same 😂
GameGrumps Lunch Break Chronicles, Day 286:
Man this week is a huge bummer compared to the previous weekend… fuck it we ball. Tuna and crackers is saving my ass rn. 9/10.
That's so real me too
Who tf eats tuna with a smile
Oooooooh tuna salad and crackers is tits!!!
Mmm tuna
Hopefully the week gets better. Haven’t had lunch yet, but did have a blueberry bagel with homemade toasted pecan butter this morning.
The "reacting before the sentence is finished" bit had me in TEARS 😭
Nectar Butter got me. im trying to eat and when he said that i almost spit my food out. i love these guys.
I kept scrolling until I found a nectar butter comment just so I could be sure someone else appreciated it as much as I did.
Giant robots are all fun and games until something goes... Hourai.
the company that does the EDF games made this. The way the dialogue is read/written makes so much sense.
I don't know what I was expecting, but grandma's house EXPLODING out of nowhere absolutely sent me
Saw the clips of Nanao suffering. Genuinely did not expect R.A.D. to be on Game Grumps.
This just makes me think they should really play EDF, specially EDF 4.1 for the extra jankyness
4.1 or 5 for the insane dialog is probably best
EDF! EDF!
It was made by the same people.
@@Nocklee99 Seeing the robot designs, makes sense
BEEEAAAAM!
I like this method of splitting up long games with mini long games! It gives me hope for Ace Attorney 3!! 🎉
I like the Ace Attorney plays but I'm not necessarily dedicated to them. Which actually makes it more fun because if I skip an episode and jump in again it's just even more wild.
I don't think Trials & Tribulations is short enough to sandwich between Danganronpa chapters, as much as I want them to play the next Ace Attorney game. They MIGHT get away with Rise From The Ashes between Danganronpa chapters, but even that case is quite long on its own. Still, we can hope!
Please dont stop playing this, 14:04 fucking killed me
I always forget how low the bar used to be when it came to voice acting.
And this is still below it somehow. Its right next to House of The Dead.
11:18 "what am I supposed to do? I'm just a lil girl" 😂 literally me
They’re finally playing one of my favorite PS2 era games! RAD is a mecha cult classic.
Arin: "Wait, chairman?!"
The character selection screen moments earlier: "heir of the bankrupt Tsukioka family who succeeded late father as the chairman of the Civilization Preservation Foundation, unaware of its secrets."
This is the perfect Game Grumps game. I hope they play the whole dang thing.
"The committee has gone active" .... "THE BANANAS HAS GONE BAD"
14:10 THIS is when I knew this will become an all time classic series 😂🤣
I wish they had picked the male MC with the suit, his voice acting is so damn funny with the way it's delivered.
Ended friendship with Supermarker Simulator. RAD is my best friend now!
So I am only 2 minutes in, and I want to say... I am so happy you guys are playing this. Only because I only ever got to play this on a Demo Disc for OG PlayStation. I never saw it in any game store and I just never bothered looking for it. I always thought the game play was unique.
Already sending my prayers to the Bakery 🙏
That's where I wooork... 🙁
Wait until they get to Bread an Water Soup... 😢
That's where she works!
BEGGING for there to be a full series of this. This is one of the most batshit games I've ever seen.
I've never seen a game that manages to make giant mecha fights look so slow and awkward that it somehow comes back around to being entertaining
Love how how Arin figures out he has a hover mode and immediately forgets "This building is in the way!"
I was like, “okay new long play, what are they gonna do, a sonic game? A smaller Zelda game like OoA or OoS? A new Mario game?” No, it’s RAD, an obscure(to me) giant robot game that I assumed would be a one off like metal and lace. I am beyond hype for what is about to happen, knowing nothing of this game, still hype that they have so many big games they have yet to get to. Thanks, Game Grumps for keeping it interesting! Looking forward to what’s to come!
This is a dream come true RAD has to be one of my all time favorite mech games I've ever played, personally praying for Arin to Pick up the pilot and Rocket Punching them into the enemy at some point for the comedy.
He sounds like a German Tommy Wiseau
No way! NO WAY! I used to play this as a kid. My sibs and I loved it. For years, I couldn't remember what it was called. I am so happy!
Still so excited you're playing this! And so relieved Arin picked the standard controls! They seem so weird but it's so satisfying when you get the hang of it! You feel every punch! I love this games both loving and sometimes satirical take on the giant robot genre. It's in my top 10 as far as gameplay goes. So happy!
Oh and the episode is funny as hell! "GRANDMA"
Fun fact: this game was made by Sandlot, developers of the Earth Defense Force games, and was their second title. Which explains a lot. I love this game, still wish I had my old copy.
Nostalgic brain is happy because the picked the girl and she's the only one who unlocks Valdor for the multiplayer. Grump fan brain is disappointed that they didn't pick the guy in the suit, because, if I ever had to pick Arin's anime protag voice out of a line-up, it'd be that guy.
I love it when you guys play outlandish games like this, and I'm so damn happy you'll continue with this, too.
5:56 Dan sudden cackle with the deadpan-lowercase "oh!" sent me LMAO
"2000 dead! Weirdly only grandmas!"
arin: stay away from destruction in gllang mode, got it
arin less than 5 minutes later: am I supposed to be on top of it when I control it?
Grandma dies
Arin: "Oh what a bummer"
This is amazing.
It's so bad and so good at the same time.
The pov from the ground and the slow moments (of the robots) really sell the size and proportions well.
Seeing a robot fly through a building and collapse from the ground? Simply amazing.
The MST3K Dan is referring to is, indeed, simply called "Werewolf." It is one of my absolute favorites, and it's "absolutely fascinating..."
Such a good episode. Joe Estevez, yellin' about yetiglanchis. "Yew arr een eet fer fame an forchune? Well, ovurr my dead bohdie..." Circling around that same gas station over and over. Classic episode. Free on TH-cam if you're reading this and haven't seen it.
I believe it's pronounced wahr-wilf.
I don't know, you saw him last.
The idea that this society is advanced enough to build giant mechs, yet not smart enough to control them from a distance is absolutely hilarious
AHHHHHH this was one of my favorite PS2 games. I still have my copy
One of my favorites, too!
GUYS!!! THATS WHERE NANAO WORKS!!!
Oh my God, thank you So So SO much for playing this! This is unironically one of my favorite games and it desperately needs to be remade!
Not sure about a remake, but definitely a re-release
23:16 - I can't stop, I'm crying... Just so funny seeing it almost reverse into them..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I was watching clips from game, Nanao acts so calm but it makes sense when a kaiju attacks her every month
44:46 - "The Volgara will be passing through this area shortly"
"What? But it's like, really tall!"
What is kind of stupid later in the story is Nanao acts suddenly surprised when she sees you controlling the robot, like she wasn't there to see it in the first place
I'm only through half the episode and I had to pause because I'm cry-laughing. This is why I love Game Grumps.
good thing they had the hindsight to evacuate the civilians before the robots could attack. thats why the amount of people in the city is so little
I lost it when the giant robot blew up the grandma’s house right when they got there.
It’s like the start of Phantasm 2 lol.
Arin: I love this game! Destroying everything is awesome looking!
Also Arin: Playing secondhand Geogeussr
Also he was wrong about the Park Hyatt :D but right about the Tokyo Metro building.
This is the type of game where the grumps just shine brightly like a supernova emitting the light of a thousand suns.
Whys Dan so freaky right off the bat-
𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 avidan
This is giving me real old school Grumps vibes, I love it
