Dan is right, this either started as a visual novel and someone had a construction vehicle idea and they slammed them together, OR it's a construction vehicle fighter that someone was forced to write a story for.
The infrastructure of the United Kingdom of Japan must be terrible. Roads never finished. Buildings half done. All the money goes to fixing construction vehicles and training Shiba Inus
I know that battle anime, which this game is inspired by, always require some suspension of disbelief with their premise. People fighting with construction equipment? I have no issue accepting that, that is how this world works. What I find hilarious is the implication that some people apparently just *have* construction vehicles. The pirate guy drives around the city in his own, personal steamroller. And it was never said that the prince guy from earlier worked for any particular company before joining Kongo's crew. He was just out with his crane. Practicing crane moves. He didn't even build anything. No one else was there.
And then there's the time Kongo, Kyoko were out getting groceries and Yuuki challenged Kongo and they fought, which implies that they either had the vehicles ready, or they walked back to base to get them, the whole time like 'When I get my construction vehicle, you'll be sorry!'
Lmao! I have never seen the anime, the fighting mechanics are terrible in the game, but I can't help but love the ferk out of this and I don't know why.... Note to self check out anime
You need to play this fully through! It’s got weird gameplay and absurd plot as well as Game Grumps visual novel commentary and laughter! It’s a match made in heaven for lovelies especially visual novel lovelies!! You got at least an extra bit of gameplay after the story so COMPLETE IT ALL! As long as it’s not boring ofc…
Its so niche that likely a very small percentage of their audience has ever played it. I'd really like to see them cover it all the way through, as the game is just to wacky to stop partially through.
They actually gave all characters their own specials even when they're driving the same vehicle. With the excavator, the long haired guy got the butterflies and the bee stinger, the main guy summons lightnings, the Yuuki guy slams you into the depths filled with lava... Like, they actually cared while making this game.
Am I the only one who was kind of upset when they avoided some of those special attacks or didn't use them? Those were the best parts of the fights for me.
@@dragonhugger16 He has to wait until that chain (or whatever) on his character portrait breaks before he can use his Super, at least that's what seems to be needed.
@@promane557 people tend to do this weird thing where if two characters are gay and the sexuality of the other characters isn't mentioned, they just assume or pretend that they're gay as well. Example: Sk8 the Infinity
So basically... Jake and Beth make out heavily in front of the group, and they're just really chill about it and more focused on their food. What a surprisingly progressive game
After the fandom all but forced them to play Danganronpa 2 for half a year, I feel they needed this onslaught of random weird shitty shovelware to get their mojo back 😁
These cutscenes are incredible. 😂 They really went there, didn't they? Clearly the developers took full advantage of the freedoms they had and had a ton of fun making this game. ❤
I never could have anticipated that life would take me down a path that would completely engross me in the exciting world of Battle Construction Vehicles and the trials and tribulations of the possibly Australian-English Japanese Kongo crew and their human betting and kissing.
With this and giraffe town these are my favorite playthroughs going currently Can you guys check out the mortuary assistant tho? It’s a wholesome educational game I think Dan would like
If I had a nickel for every time the Game Grumps played a game with a character named Kyoko who had daddy issues, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
"Shishio has a scar on his chest" It's a cross-shaped scar that he stole from a dude from the Warring States era. Rumor is he was known as Hitokiri Battousai, the Manslayer.
Uncontrollable desire to engage in fights with construction vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars generating thousands of dollars in damage to private property as a part of the plot of a Early '80s B-movie which seems to be lost three quarters of the way through the film? It would be pretty serious if the doctor told me I tested positive for that.
Like I know Arin is ragging on Dan's Australian voice a bit, but I absolutely love it, it really does seem to actually fit the character, and just in general something about it makes listening to all the dialogue really great. I'm not crazy about the visual novel games which are just constant dialogue, but I could listen to Dan voice Hayato endlessly. This is really one of those hidden gem games where I never knew I wanted it before, but now that it's here I can't help but hope that it's a much longer game than any of us think it is.(if it's somehow Final Fantasy length, 30+ hours long, I'd be more than happy, though I doubt they'd keep playing it that long if it was...)
Just like ogres, the Kongo crew and Hayato, their supposedly Australian leader, had layers when it came to utilizing his highly destructive onion succulent super move.
"I know. He gave our former boss enough trouble. A dry handy j." - Danoura 😂😂😂 I'm in tears. I had to play it back 3x because I lost my shit when Arin said that.
I hope we get some Game Grumps Verus from this. Arin may have experience on his side, but I have a nagging suspicion that the learning curve isn't very steep in this game..
Speaking of construction vehicle toys, I found a super cool toy bulldozer when I was a kid, fully articulated and completely made of metal, I have it with my figurines now.
If you're watching this on PC... Press 1 to hear Dan say "Old Fashioned Duellist, Huh?" Press 2 for a beat. Press 3 to hear Arin say, "... alright... AW FUCK" Press 4 to hear Arin say, "Don't say it, of course I knew!" in a gruff accent. Press 5 to head Dan say, "Ohkaay" Press 6 to hear Dan say, "Come here and get some of these chompers." Press 7 to hear Arin say, effeminately, "What? That's all wrong! I helped you out, remember?!" Press 8 to hear Dan say, "Ha! Bet Rothed!" Press 9 to hear Arin say, "My face." Press 3, 9, 5, 6, 7 for fanfic.
Hurray more BCV! You should play this all the way through, it's so different from anything I've ever seen and the videos are so much fun. As soon as I saw the upload I went "Oh my god yes"
This sort of thing is what we're missing these days - mid to relatively low budget titles. Sure, indies have kinda filled the gap, but it's basically indies and AAA titles nowadays for the most part.
"A shitty Australian JFK"? so what does a good australian JFK sound like? and then the perfectly timed random covid joke. and the dog is driving the backhoe. this rocks.
i never would have guess that i would enjoy this game, but it's so outlandish and the grumps commentary keeps making me bust out laughing, that I find myself having a fantastic time watching this game. I hope they do a surprise full playthrough

@@tyffanii1 wat
Damn. A pretty casually done gay romance in 2000 AND a excavator operating dog? This game was truly ahed of its time
I’m guessing they thought very few people would actually know it exists so they had fun writing it.
And that Beth is trans??? Groundbreaking (haha machinery joke)
Japan wasnt the USA, they didn’t have such puritanical values. Look at sailor moon. I’m more surprised the localization team translated it
@@MenukiJapan is still fairly conservative in their policies and trans folks are still heavily marginalized there as well.
I showed this playthrough to my SO who is a civil engineer and he cried laughing. This is truly a gem of a game
I wasn't expecting a gay romance in the middle of this game about people fighting each other with construction equipment, but I'm all for it!
It's like a very old saying handed down through countless generations, no matter how hard you squeeze it, cheese will always be stinky
@@maggs131 the stinkier the cheesier
One of life’s pleasant surprises
the crazy thing is I was totally expecting it from the art style alone
gay bear manga has a very distinct look
@@voltcorp I was literally thinking this since the first episode. The art style is very much like gay bara
Wow...misogyny, gay love, dogs that work machinery, this game has EVERYTHING 🤩❤️
I think they call this "based" nowadays.
The misogyny surprises me everytime I see it.
Idk why but it kinda gives me vibes that the writers thought gay people hate women as a whole, kinda eh.
So the ultimate clairvoyant comes through for us once again. “Is this gonna be the first gay battle construction game?”
Woof! Woof!
Is it gay if only two characters are gay out of like 8?

Loving the energy of the games in these vids lately. Absolute crackshit energy
Hell yeah. It’s amazing.
I was worried for a while, they seemed to be really tired for about the last 6 months or so but recently they've picked back up enthusiasm-wise

"A shitty Australian JFK" Is a whole new Voice I strive to hear xD
“Ask not what you can do for your country, but how you can be an absolute legend for your country, mate.”
Aka what my Boston accent devolves into after 5 minutes
would love to hear the line quotes "nothing bad ever happen to the kennedys"
Fowa suppah, I er uh, wanna party plattah!
Makes me think of Clone High 🤔
Finally, Arin has truly become....the big CAT.
y o u
okay but that's really funny
🤣
👏 👏 👏
You might have side hoes but Arin has backhoes
As a British person, I approve of Arin's Beth voice and constant Dairy Milk references
This and Pantsu Hunter are my favorite "incredibly strange topics with exceptionally higher budgets than I would have guessed" games.
11:20 damn Jake's really throwing it back
Words can't express how much I love this game.
The combination of British/Kiwi/Aussie accents and Japanese names is so bloody funny. This is so good.
And love for American sports teams like the Cincinatti Reds, mate!
The AI in this game is practically non-existent lmao. I've never seen AI just do...nothing for so long.
I kept waiting for it to ramp up in difficulty, but...nope
I wish more games were like that. I hate losing in games and want to win and do anything I want so I wish more games were easier
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I'm over this level! Time to switch to... BCV Mode!
I think this game would be a bit better if you can choose your own vehicles for the fight instead this.

Man I've missed having Ross on the show, so good to hear his voice again
11:57 Dan's bit "I don't think a girl should see these." Killed me over xD:::
The best description of this game: "Sounded mighty Australian to me, Gov'na."
It is Australian tho right?
im loving this era of game grumps where they play the weirdest games imaginable that turn out to be absolute gems
These cutscenes are incredible. 😂 They really went there, didn't they? Clearly the developers took full advantage of the freedoms they had and had a ton of fun making this game. ❤
I love Dan’s proud “Well Done”’s whenever Arin’s winning at something
I never could have anticipated that life would take me down a path that would completely engross me in the exciting world of Battle Construction Vehicles and the trials and tribulations of the possibly Australian-English Japanese Kongo crew and their human betting and kissing.

Can you guys check out the mortuary assistant tho? It’s a wholesome educational game I think Dan would like
Oh Dan would especially appreciate the cartoonish visuals and fun story
Maybe for Ghoul Grumps?
@@GeekMasterGames why would such a lovely, wholesome game be played then of all times...?
I second this
@@SympleSymon it could give Dan some time to relax and let his guard down
You guys should get RC construction vehicles and fight them on TMPH.

Genius
Look, all I am saying is, if a dog were considered my better, I might abandon my job in tears too.
I'm so confused on Beth's gender to the point where the most logical conclusion I've come to is that he's a trans man. Anyway congrats to him and Jake
Aye, pretty sure he's a trans man.
@@V3xxealso the *logical* conclusion I came to… but in 2002.. and from Japan!? I’m not certain that that was intentional tbh 🙃

Ep 1 Arin: "Yo the excavator rules!"
Ep 2 Arin: "I hate the excavator!"

“Oops nevermind, he controls the oceans” got me
Arin: Oh, I have a dump truck!
Danny: Hell yeah you do, Arin
That freaking killed me lol
"Adachi?! I barely Knowchi!" got me
i thought arin was going to make a Persona 4 reference for a brief moment LMAO
I try not to overuse words like "masterpiece", but if any game is deserving of the label it is this one.
"Shishio has a scar on his chest"
It's a cross-shaped scar that he stole from a dude from the Warring States era. Rumor is he was known as Hitokiri Battousai, the Manslayer.
“BCV” really sounds like something my doctor would precede with, “I have some bad news… you tested positive for-“
Bovine Coronavirus is nothin' to sneeze at.
Uncontrollable desire to engage in fights with construction vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars generating thousands of dollars in damage to private property as a part of the plot of a Early '80s B-movie which seems to be lost three quarters of the way through the film?
It would be pretty serious if the doctor told me I tested positive for that.
If you close your eyes and listen to the game's voice acting, you can almost hear Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles whenever the main character speaks.
Lmao so I wasn't the only one who thought they heard Adam Howden in the main character.
Like I know Arin is ragging on Dan's Australian voice a bit, but I absolutely love it, it really does seem to actually fit the character, and just in general something about it makes listening to all the dialogue really great.

This is already going down as one of my favorite series from the Grumps. I'm totally invested, and NEED to see this through to the end!
It seems like when you take damage, the rope tightens, and when it snaps, is when the super triggers 🤔
This series feels really classic. Dan and Arin pumped up is so much nicer to me than just suffering through crap games.
Just like ogres, the Kongo crew and Hayato, their supposedly Australian leader, had layers when it came to utilizing his highly destructive onion succulent super move.
What a bizarre adventure.
And no sign of JoJo!
Only a road roller...
I think I speak for most Lovelies when I say: Make this a series!
"I know. He gave our former boss enough trouble. A dry handy j." - Danoura
😂😂😂 I'm in tears. I had to play it back 3x because I lost my shit when Arin said that.
Please please I beg you keep going! The story is a masterpiece
"Nevermind he controls the ocean." made me laugh so hard I almost choked to death on fried mac and cheese.
Arin's Beth Gouda left his baby with the circus folk from YGOTAS. It all makes sense now.
I hope we get some Game Grumps Verus from this. Arin may have experience on his side, but I have a nagging suspicion that the learning curve isn't very steep in this game..
Oh my god please finish this! You must! Turn it into a GG versus when storymode is complete!
Arin wasn't prepared to fight against a real forklift certified worker I see
This is the hardest I've laughed in ages. Thank you, Game Grumps.
Arin: "The steam roller sucks!"
Also Arin: *flawless victory with steam roller *
I love how fork lift absolutely wrecks, but somehow that guy beat 19 companies with that garbo steam roller
Hearing Arin complain about the excavator sucking kind of makes me wonder if anyone's made a tier list for this game.
I did not expect there to be a star-crossed gay love story in this construction vehicle fighting game, how delightful!
"Nothing bad ever happens to the Kongos!!"
They attacc but they also construcc.
And occasionally vehicc.
Not gonna lie. BCV Battle Contruction Vehicles might be my favorite GameGrumps series 😅😅😅
Holy shit I cannot stop laughing about the cage rattling.
Speaking of construction vehicle toys, I found a super cool toy bulldozer when I was a kid, fully articulated and completely made of metal, I have it with my figurines now.
Japanese devs have no censorship or chill pulling them back from making whatever game they want
I *cannot* believe they didn’t make a Kongo line/Conga line joke 34:15
10/10 game, it has a dog that drives heavy machinery.
So much potential for a Game Grumps Animated.
Your tilted as shit and I’m calm as a cucumber had me rolling 🤣

I honestly thought the dog was going to end up being Matsubayama transformed or something…I wouldn’t put it past this game. I’m loving this.
Thank you, Arin, for also acknowledging the JFK voice 🤣🤣🤣
What is the story behind the Grumps video titles changing 2 or 3 times a day? Are they trying to trick the algorithm or something?
"A shitty Australian JFK"? so what does a good australian JFK sound like? and then the perfectly timed random covid joke. and the dog is driving the backhoe. this rocks.
