While we're on the topic of strange requests, why is the request for Eternal Sonata specifying the 360 version when the PS3 release is the same game with two more playable characters and a couple more dungeons/bosses to go along with 'em? I'm unaware if these changes make the game easier or more boring in some unknown way. I've actually considered Eternal Sonata (Encore Mode is still pretty scary) but the game (or at least the PS3 version) has fail safes for the sidequest, where I think it hands you the last item before the key. You pretty much just get an extra accessory from doing it, although I cant remember what it is. (Fake edit: It's a spellbook. Increases magic by 10%) There are parts in the trading quest that will actually give you an accessory for the next step, and it tends to make more sense to just stop and keep the good accessory, and just pick up the failsafe which isn't as good. Of course, there's still the Encore mode only trading quest, cause one isnt enough!

At least part of it is that some of these requests have gone unfulfilled for a loooong time, and so versions can be a little weird. There's also the thing that some requesters only state the platform they know of, which is perfectly understandable (Rogue Trooper, for example, was requested as the PS2 version, and, lo and behold, there are no differences between the PS2 and PC versions, so I LPed the poo poo out of that on PC, and the request was fulfilled). Finally, there's things like my request for Scorpion Disfigured, which are not really meant as a serious request. Because seriously, Scorpion Disfigured is not a great game. Although I can understand some of them... I want to take the piss out of F.E.A.R. sometimes too.

After re-reading the Master List I was super surprised that Body Harvest, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, the Killzone Franchise and the Just Cause games hadn't been done. The issue there is I remember there being a Body Harvest LP back in like 2008 or something, but I could be completely wrong on that. I think if someone wanted to do Just Cause 2 the time is about right for it, as the team is releasing a free multiplayer mod for the game(some three years after release) and it would be cool to see someone handle it the way Skippy Granola did Saints Row 3 with a rotating set of partners.

I see it's on the list, but I'd just like to clarify that Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will need a group to make it interesting or fun. If the stars align and someone will do it on the 360, I would be thrilled to be a part of it, as I still love dicking around in co-op. (The multiplayer is full of cheap bullshit, don't do the multiplayer despite its interesting premise.) You also need to play at least on veteran difficulty because it turns on  Friendly Fire which is essential in loving over your buddies.If, god forbid, anyone does grant my wish, I can be reached on the 360 itself most reliably at my gamertag: DuCkSPANKER

I've been thinking about tackling Body Harvest or the Killzone Franchise (original trilogy and PSP game) after my other LPs wrap-up, because I unabashedly love both those games. My trouble with the Killzone franchise was I was planning on LPing it as if it were a lost work of Shakespeare. My original plan was to run it as an SSLP with videos for cutscenes to concentrate on the text and subtext of the game that I believe is there (and often gets passed over), but I know that one of the requests was for a VLP. Hmm... Maybe I could do my original plan but provide videos as well for those interested?

Has anyone tried to mess with the requested Shinobido: Way of the Ninja? Outside of Japan, it was a PAL-only PS2 release. It's a potential goldmine of LP interaction (or a source of eternal suffering), because in addition to the videos of the missions (plot and generated), there could be voting on which mission to pick, what faction to serve, what shrooms to mix in the alchemy pots, and how to arrange the bear, the bushes and the fire pits in your Japanese garden (tower defence). Oh, and there's a mission editor, and a ton of pre-made challenges there as well.

It's already on the list but I'd really really like to see Hunter: The Reckoning for the X-Box LPed. Would work best as a multiplayer/multicommentator video LP. That game just gets so god drat hard after the vampire boss that me and my friends could never beat it.

I was actually gearing up to do one of two lps. Demon Souls blind playthrough and Dead Island Blind/Interactive (if it is at least somewhat sandboxy) GoTY edition. Dead Island isnt in the master list archive and isnt requested in the main list. Any reason why it got taken down? I dont know if Dark Souls has been beaten to death or not in here. Ive never seen it and picked it up on sale for like 5 bucks. Which one should I tackle first or should I just look for a different game all together (I have Sniper V2 but Ive been playing that actually) Either of these would be VLP/Commentary.

Either way there've been two LPs of either game. Demon's Souls has two highly informative runs whereas Dark Souls has an informative run and a blind run that is co-commentated by the best tour guides to the world of Dark Souls.

Whatever the newest one is. I guess I should shelve that one then? There is also Diablo 3 which Id like to do with a group. Id be willing to piece it together if needed. Though I am unsure how exciting a loot and grind game would be to watch. I just want something people will watch mainly. Never done an LP but I have done videos via video games and the like (a la the Skate series and some Fifa). Soulex fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Dec 10, 2013 |

Look, just do whatever game you want to. Don't pay attention to people who tell you that you can't LP a game that's already been done before. It's best that you LP a game that you really like and have a lot to say about. Don't do LP for this reason: quote:I just want something people will watch mainly. You will most likely be disappointed. LP is not a launching pad for popularity.

Soulex posted:Whatever the newest one is. In terms of loot and grind games someone already requested the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games be done, which are pretty close approximations of a Diablo game. The problem with those games, especially if you are running things solo, is that you need to be super interesting or have a lot of knowledge of lore or characters to keep from running out of things to talk about because you can only watch a dwarf kill rats for so long before it gets repetitive.

Also, in counterpoint, keep in mind the game was LP'd five years ago, and has to be accessed outside the regular archives. I think that's a case for saying you'll probably be okay retreading that ground.

Lance Streetman posted:From what I've heard, the game had a lot of problems (mostly related to the combat and multiplayer), and felt rather half-assed compared to Level-5's other games. Plus it ends on a cliffhanger that leads to the second (equally disappointing) game. So that might be related to nobody LPing it. And my curiosity never went away completely.

I'd like to see a playthrough of Guardian Heroes on here. But, considering the different paths and stuff, it might actually work better as a Hybrid LP where people vote which path to take after watching the combat?

I'd be willing to lend a hand and join in for the LP's, especially when it comes to some of the easter eggs. If I recall (namely for Reach) it's very helpful if you have at least two players for some of the easter eggs that are available in the games. It also makes completing the game a bit easier on the head for things like Legendary runs because of the power of respawning (unless we're talking about using skulls).

Edit: And if you want to play it on Windows and don't already have a copy you are hosed, no download service has it. I used to own an Xbox copy of it, but I'm about 100% sure I gave it to my brother with the original Xbox years ago and I know for sure that was all sold off.

Avernum can probably be removed considering the existence of the excellent Exile 1 LP. Avernum's a remake of the remake of that game, but story/environment-wise it's quite similar, and the combat (i.e. the main thing the [re]remake does differently) isn't really the focus of such LPs.
