Looks like if you skip everything else you don't want to miss the Warhammer episode. That's not surprising. Apart from Dungeons and Dragons, it has by far the most acclaimed lore-verse of any fictional world above in the videogame community.
 
I watched the Space Marine one. It was fine I guess. I just don't like the direction 40k has gone in general in the last 20 years. They've sucked all the fun out of it.

how so? I've only been following for about 12 years but I have seen a lot of older dudes on yt talking shit
 
Watched the D&D and WH40K one as those are the only franchises I really cared about this go round..

Epic

Loved

Moar!!!
 
watched most and really enjoyed a lot of them, even if you arent familiar with their lore i think many are worth a watch, only skipped second ep because the animation was too choppy i found it unpleasant

outer worlds was great story, armored core stands out as one of the better ones, pac man was actually good, warhammer delivered, dungeons and dragons was really cool, probably others im forgetting and i think i have the last two to watch still

edit: unreal tournament is a decent ai story, new world is funny, more episodes than i thought so still have 6 to go

I wouldn't say I'm talking shit per se, I just liked the more goofy/satirical style of the old warhammer stuff both fantasy and 40k. It started taking itself too seriously.

I just prefer the look and feel of the old stuff.

so the grimdark feeling and the focus on filling out the lore more completely? also embracing the hardcore type feeling?

The Pac-Man one was an interesting take. Overall even though I didn't know some of the franchises I enjoyed the show. It also got renewed for a second season today so I look forward to seeing what else they cover.
