I have a feeling that there would be no pleasure to be found in an lp of that mod.

You don't have to sound quite so bored. You might not like some points of JC2, but it sounds like you don't want to be doing this at all.

Not too surprising if it is because of Dangan Ronpa. There was that really annoying phase where everybody and their brother were signing up so as to keep reading and making sure those that watched the thread knew it.

If you felt that one post would have been to long, you could've split it into two and labeled them appropriately. Judgement would have been passed on both without the length being too much of a bother.

The only reason to do SR3 as single player is if you are doing an informative run. I haven't watched the video yet, but it sounds like that is the farthest thing from what you want do. As Coolguye said there are several ways to do the multiple POV thing, whether having transitions or two separate videos is all up to you, but the L4D lp and the Fear 3 lp are good references.

Niggurath posted:I don't think there's any rule against visual novels, unless they're some kind of hentai mess. I was actually fairly certain there had been LP's of other visual novels before (at least I know I saw that stupid pigeon one pop up in the sandcastle like 6 times for some reason). There have, but they generally undergo major censorship. The easiest to think of is the Tsukihime lp.

Doing a Blind run is hard just because of that lack of information that the viewers get. I'd say playthrough once or twice and maybe read the book the game was based on to get a better feel for the world and to make comparisons to. While this removes the point of a blind run, it is easier to watch and the viewer can get more information about the world of Metro 2033.

There's also the problem when people do blind runs and die or mess up a lot, but don't edit it out. It just makes the video tedious and frustrating instead of funny.

CommissarMega posted:As for the character and name? You cannot pick your stats out at the game's beginning, if that's what you're thinking, and the name/looks are just a cosmetic choice. I think that simply going with what the game suggests is a faster way to start the LP, but if you'd rather I hold a vote as to our character, then why not? What do the rest of you think? I thought that there might have been more variety in the creation of the character and that stats might have been allocatable at the start of the game, but I guess not. It's fine that there isn't a vote, but please choose a name other than Mary Sue. It would be funny to start with, but then it would get grating on the nerves very fast, but that is just my opinion on it.

It was a lot more fun for me to type things out narratively- sorry, Kersch. I completely understand if this turns people off.

Lance Streetman posted:I have no idea who the gently caress dave_o is outside of "that dude doing a minecraft LP," but I'm unironically enjoying his LP. Then again, I've never really understood why minecraft was considered "un-lpable." Minecraft is a game that is dull as bricks to watch. Playing it is fun and all, and a lot of fun things are happening in your head whilst you play, but when you are on the viewing end it will just be the same grind over and over. "Watch as I break a brick, then another, then another, then place this brick here, and another one there and wait that isn't right lemme start over." You may enjoy it, but quite often the videos will start blurring together cause of the lack of difference in them. Which, unless I am mistaken about the concept of entertainment, is boring.

Color Printer posted:Here's my updated OP for Super Scribblenauts, which talks about the audience interaction and the challenges. And here's my introduction post, where I explain the basic mechanics and show off the first five levels of the game. Should I attempt to make up some audience suggestions and come up with another example update or is this good enough to start with for now? Oh, and is there anything else I need to fix? (Don't be afraid to be harsh. If I'm not criticized, I'll never learn! Looking better. Remember the power of GIFs if you feel that they would help show something. It also looks ripe for audience participation which is always a plus.

First thing off having an actual update is necessary for the critiquing. Second thing those screenshots are tiny. Can you make them at all bigger?SciFiDownBeat posted:I understand that a test OP as well as a test update is advised for the SSLP. I included the prologue section of the game after the introduction all in the test post. Basically my LP will consist of transcribing dialogue with intermittent images of dialogue and gameplay, nothing out of the ordinary. However, I will be making asides every now and then about relevant facts, gameplay, and bios of characters, as well as a handful of sarcastic comments and jokes along the way. This is expected, you do not have to tell us that you will be doing this, and don't be boring for the love of god. Making jokes might sound nice, but they aren't required to make a good lp.

TraumaticRatio posted:No Jill Sandwiches? Let's Play Resident Evil 2 Several things. 1. Are you going to be cutting out the backtracking when it's not absolutely necessary? 2. The movement method is called tank controls. 3. Your aspect ratio seems off to me. Might just be the game. 4. Your audio sounds like it has a weird reverberation. 5. You know that the Dark Id did an lp of this right? Something unrelated to the lp is that there seem to be a lot of goons joining up recently just that rush to the sandcastle. Just an odd thing I've noted.
