Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I also used your 50 Mission Crush LP for this but I imagine that isn't much of an option. You know, as I was piling through the morning hours the other night recording more poo poo for my LPs I realized my own Shadow of Rome LP also fits the bill for insomniac theater. 26 videos at and average of 30 minutes each means roughly 13 hours of content for your late night needs. Also got to say Dectilons Super Ghouls and Ghosts LP was a joy to watch. The dude takes one of the hardest games for the SNES and just works it over. Good commentary, kept fresh with different guests, and GuidoAnchovies does ghosts and goblins in there as well which looks like a soul crushing experience to play, let alone beat.

Jade Star you might want to check the first post for the bolded rule with sirens surrounding it, it shouldn't be too hard to miss. Thought yeah the Shadow of Rome LP does work for being very long and easy to watch minus the stealth segments

I don't mean to advertise my own stuff or say how awesome my LP is, all I was saying is that it's long. Very long. For those like me that want something to burn away hours with.

I get a sick satisfaction from watching people fail miserably at video games over and over again. The Daikatana was perfect for this, but I can't find any more. I thought of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. It's one of my co-LP's (with Next Tangent), which is the only reason I didn't mention it earlier. The LP contains a lot of suffering through a game that's unrelentingly hard. There are two sets of videos for the game (Two LP's for the price of one - one subtitled, one voiced), and we die or fail over 100 times each (with visible death counts). It sounds like what Fcn is looking for.

I don't know where the right thread to say this is, but this is close enough. I remember a From Earth LP of Transport Tycoon, which I found really entertaining and would recommend reading. However, I wish to have a link to the thread, but I have no idea where to look in the archives. If anyone knows when (or even better, where) it was posted, I would be happy. If this is against the rules of the thread, my apologies, I will blank this post.

It's a bit early, but Dead Rising by OatmealRaisin is shaping up pretty well. There's always a risk when LPing a very popular game because people have strong attachments to it. OatmealRaisin is doing a rescue all survivors run, but due to suggestions in the thread, is also showing off the mall and mechanics in another set of videos. This LP should be good for those who have never played the game and also those who have. Also, the thread is moving fast as hell. Not that many updates and it's already on page 8.

I was a bit offed by OatmealRaisins immediate use of 'cheat' weapons, the unlockable 1 hit kills everything gun. Now I'm sure it's drat handy when going for a save eveyones rear end run, but the presence of the all powerful safety net gun really seems to eat at the atmosphere of Dead Rising. He even blasts the first boss with the thing. It's immersion breaking for the LP. Speed run? Blast away! But this doesn't feel quite right. It's a zombie game, you're not supposed to have an 'I Win' button in your back pocket. That aside it does look like it will be a good LP, and I'm defiantly going to watch to see the all survivors run of it because gently caress if I ever pulled that off.

OatmealRaisin is making an effort to not have this be just a speed run. Did you see the part where he shows his melee kill of the boss? His exploration video is showcasing the mall and mechanics. That's rounding out the LP for me.

But ultimately, I think it'll serve him better if you post it in there too, because it sounds like you have a reasonably valid point, and not everyone reads this thread.

It's a zombie game, you're not supposed to have an 'I Win' button in your back pocket. To be a little fair, the first time you deal with Carlito he's an easy fight anyway. Later on boss, if I remember correctly take 2 to 3 hits to kill with the Megaman Buster. That or he can use the Megaman Joke Buster instead.

Following right after his one-shotting the first boss, he has an alternate strategy which uses a more typical approach to fighting the boss. I was a bit concerned about him rushing through the game too, but it seems like he's covering a lot of different things to give a full experience for newcomers and fans alike. There's a lot of promise in what he's doing, so fingers crossed it keeps up.

I just want to tell you all that there's an awesome Ultima Underworld II LP thread. Check it out.quote:This is a perfect example of how NOT to recommend a thread. ::cries:: EDIT: This thread offers a veritable smorgasbord of RPG reminisance portrayed in the familiar and classical setting of the Ultima series. Given the age of this instance of the series the thread author still delivers a thread that clearly shows the gameplay and storyline. Due to the fact that the author provides subtitles rather than having the all too common audio commentary the intrinsic values of the games authors' vision shines through leaving the viewer with a complete understanding of the game. The thread leaves you hooked but also raises the question to why there are no RPG games of this caliber being released today and one starts to question the guiding values of game development of today.

Edit: sorry, since you didn't actually read the thread, the Let's Explore segment I did came about specifically because people criticized that I was rushing through the game too fast. Anyway, back on topic. I base my commentary style mostly off of Research Indicates's Trespasser videos and baldurk's Second Sight videos. They both ran some really informative and entertaining commentary without trying too hard to be "wacky" about it. Their stuff is a lot better than mine, so I can't recommend it enough.

Roar posted:Super Columbine Massacre might work for you guys. It's not extremely long, but there's like 28 videos at at least 10-15 mins a piece. It worked for me. I just watched this. There are like 4 videos of nothing but them babbling and playing the same section over and over. I skipped a video and they were still in the same place trying to figure out a simple task. Jesus that was annoying. Not to mention spamming the melee attack button is probably the most boring thing to watch, especially in a game about Columbine.

SCM wasn't exactly a traditional LP in the sense where you were watching it for the game, it was more of an LP in the sense that it was a really horrible game with a really lovely concept behind it, and Taxi/Volli were basically hilarious in making fun of it. But I guess it's not for everyone. Jade Star posted:Also sorry Proteus, I seem to be really bad at this recommendation thing since I keep finding my posts in the gray areas. No problems.

It died because LP in general is still incapable of providing criticism without calling down a horde of Defenders of Justice saying that everything is okay, there's nothing to see here, move along, etc. Admittedly, it's gotten better lately, and the OPs themselves are generally great at taking criticism and advice and working with it, but sometimes the White Knight Brigade can really obstruct the process.

I always thought that screenshots were the only way to effectively pull of an LP of an RPG, but following Faceguy's Paper Mario LP has proved otherwise. I now really like the idea of watching a video of an RPG, have there been any other successful VLPs of RPGs?

Don't miss Accounting Nightmare's Devil May Cry 3 VLP. Like her other LPs, she shows a mastery of the game and her love of playing it. She is incredibly well prepared which comes through in each of her videos. It's still very early in the thread, but this is definitely one to watch. She links her other DMC LPs in the OP. Acronyms.

I was looking forward to seeing a video LP of a Silent Hill game so I could learn to appreciate the atmosphere and general creepiness the games supposedly have. Instead I got something much, much better. Using video editing and unlockable costumes, VoidBurger's basically made an LP that's equal parts atmospheric, informative, and hilarious. It's very well done and highly enjoyable.

Mesothelioma posted:How about very funny LPs ? Well, there are plenty of funny games that have been LP'ed, but for cases where the LP itself is funny beyond the way the game is, here are some suggestions: I followed Nakar's Ultima 4, 5 and 6 LP's and they are extremely funny. But you may want to skip right to 5 because they take a while to get going, but once they do, it's hilarious. Also see his LP of Ultima 7 (and Part 2). Fallout 2 by Breetai. He plays Fallout 2 to completion with a low int character. It's excellent. Half-Life by Cybershell. It started out as a parody of everything not to do when making an LP, but he kept going and made his unusual gimmick work

I was curious if there are any past or present examples of good VLPs of adventure games out there? The only one I've read was Coulis' Shadow of the Comet thread, but I was hoping you folks could point out some others. I know adventure games tend to work better as SSLPs, but watching the SotC VLP has me interested in seeing other good adventure video LPs.

Bad Mojo, while being shorter than those other two OatmealRaisin mentioned, was pretty good for a VLP in my opinion. There's a lot of, well, nasty stuff that you wouldn't be able to get with just screen shots, and the odd soundtrack actually fits the game's mood rather well.
