I'm doing something different so I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me if it's either terrible quality or if I'm terminally boring~ Find Your Fortune And Change The Past When You ENTER THE GUNGEON!  What? Enter The Gungeon is a roguelike that came out around April 2016 and it's a lot of fun. There's about 200 guns and 200 items, and most of them are puns on guns. It's an odd mix of bullet hell and dungeon crawler that offers a lot of replay value. I'm 150 hours in and I'm still not over it. There's some free DLC coming out SOON(tm) called the Supply Drop update but they've been saying "fall" since the end of fall soooo. At some point I'll be seeing new things too! Why? The game is a bit difficult and I've seen rumblings here and there on folks looking for something that may be more informational, or help them with their Gungeon aspirations. My goal with this will be hopefully to help people get good! To that end, commentary is going to be largely informative stream of consciousness over the course of a fresh playthrough. That being said, if there's something going on that you're not sure about or need explained or want to figure out how/why I'm doing something, ask away! It will be addressed! How? I've usually got a pretty good update schedule but a full run will usually take around an hour, so each video will likely be about that long. It's a bit more time intensive as far as audio editing and I've got more social obligations than usual so I'M GONNA BE BUSY. I'd expect at least two videos a week, ideally. I'll be going through all of the characters and getting to secret stuff as it arises. And it will! After I do the four basic characters I might start a vote to show which character people want to see run next? Videos! A Brief Tutorial/Polsy The First Run/Polsy

I'd appreciate any feedback on this, I'm planning on doing a fully subtitled LP and it's my first time doing that. If it's too intrusive, not intrusive enough, etc. It is Brutale because...the master thought it more exotic. Let's Play The Sexy Brutale!  What is this? The Sexy Brutale is a bit of a murder mystery game that came out in April 2017. It runs a little chunky in spots, maybe not the best optimization, but it is rather charming! Playing as somewhat of a mix between Ghost Trick and Majora's Mask, the game follows the fate of ten guests at the titular casino during the annual masquerade ball. Things don't seem quite right however, what with the staff killing off the guests and all. Over the course of 12 repeating hours, we'll discover the truth behind the murders and the Full-House Staff, and hopefully save a few lives along the way. What has happened at the Sexy Brutale? Who is the bloodied woman? And where is the Marquis in all this? Since this game is extremely story based and there's a lot going on, I'm planning on doing a subtitled LP. I'll try to keep my commentary minimal to explain things and otherwise let the game speak for itself. It's my first time going about that so if anything is unclear or needs fixing, please let me know. Generally I'll be following the victim(s) around to show their movements. Then I'll follow the murderer to see how they've done it. Finally we'll figure out how to prevent their untimely demise. The game is not very long but it is extremely story based.  Don't spoil anything if you know what's coming up.Videos!  Reginald Sixpence, the Clockwork Baron/Polsy

So I've run into a unique issue. Well. Probably not that unique. I got a copyright dispute on this video. Not a strike, just a dispute. Videomite is a Turkish company and the channel Geekyapar // OYUN is a Turkish gaming channel which oh gee whiz just happened to put out an Arkham City video with this exact scene a few days ago. I feel pretty confident in saying neither of these fuckers has any legal grounding for this claim. Do I just toss out a dispute on fair use or do I join the pantheon of people who are just getting hosed by youtube?

They released the claim. Jerks. Anyway here's an actual sandcastle post. It's been a year since I did solo post-commentary and it feels weird. Please tell me if it's bad. It feels kinda rough to me! You Only Let's Play Twice (No One Lives Forever 2)  No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy In H.A.R.M.'s Way is a really good game! The sequel to The Operative, the humor has changed, the gameplay has largely improved, the gunplay has improved, the graphics have definitely improved, and all over it's an extremely solid experience. The game kicks off fairly shortly after the conclusion of No One Lives Forever 1. H.A.R.M. is resurgent due to the events of Contract: J.A.C.K. which is a bad game I'll talk about here and there but otherwise ignore. Cate Archer, our brave heroine, continues to foil international plots and look kickin' rad while doing it. As before I'm not super familiar with this game but I'm confident most of it will shake out well. These games do remain in rights limbo so unless you've got a physical copy you won't have much (legal) chance of playing it. But as always, please enjoy, and let me know if I can make any improvements. Videos Cate Archer Must Die! Scene 1/Polsy

ZiegeDame posted:Trying something different for my next LP. Hoping I can get some feedback before I go full in because this is a lot more effort than regular talking over video games. So I tried watching the video but I bounced off it. I started skipping through and realized I wasn't paying attention. I'd chalk that up in part to me doing something that I only had half attention on the video, part in that I've never seen the game. That could all just be me but it didn't work. It might be better if the videos were shorter, 43min is a long time to demand attention for a narrative VLP. I do like the idea for thread updates being in the hand-written note form. If you are attached to the narrative format, I'd say thread notes would be the place to do it for more of a hybrid VLP. But that's just like, my opinion. Man. If you feel strongly about the narrative VLP, go for it. I'd still err on shorter videos though.

Skypizza posted:Oh yeah I know about that thread, was one of the very first to ask/suggest that kind of threads I guess. But in my post I meant if anyone is planning to do a hack gu LP so I can avoid starting it.  Someone else doing an LP thread doesn't mean you can't also do it.

Skypizza posted:Sounds good to me.  I'll admit I've got some of the same worries about starting a new thread but most of the time it's distinct enough that you can just jump into things. Draft up your test post if you're so inclined and show us some good stuff. If you really need a collaborator you can probably find someone on the Discord, if nothing else. I can say the .hack stuff in any medium is one of those things I've been vaguely interested in but I don't have the time for jRPGs anymore. Or I do and I'm not ready for that kind of time commitment

I'm on a bunch of new hardware and all my settings got lost so I'm trying to make sure nothing is too far off as far as balancing in this video. I'm unfunny and I'll just have to take that tragedy to my grave, unfortunately Plane Lee's Climb to Dignity  Jet Li's Rise To Honor is a 2004 PS2 beat 'em up with a unique control style. All your face buttons are useless, hope you like your analog sticks and shoulder buttons! The gameplay is a bit simple but it's alright! The difficulty curves and lack of enemy distinction cause some frustration and some of the game mechanics are poorly implemented, but hey, I'll try to avoid getting too negative. I've played through recently so I'll manage! It's a fairly short kung fu adventure romp that tries to play like a movie. It kinda works! Plus I mean kicking people in the face never gets old??? Jet Li plays our hero, Kit Yun, a bodyguard/enforcer for a Hong Kong crime boss named Chiang. Events transpire that will take him from the waters of Hong Kong to the sunny shores of San Francisco, and then back again for a roaring finale! So please join me as we RISE TO HONOR!

Cool Ghost posted:I sent a request to Baldurk to have a thread archived back in November, but haven't heard back yet. Do I need to worry about the thread going into the SA archives before it can be collected? I wouldn't think so. LP forum seems to have dodged most of the archiving/thread pruning issues that plagued for a while and he has archives in case it does fall in.

Phrosphor posted:Howdy, I am looking to start a short LP of BATTLETECH, the upcoming PC strategy game. I am going to use another game, MEKHQ as a campaign simulator, and then fight out the giant robot battles using the Battletch Founders Beta as commentated battles. I have drafted a first post and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback before I let it loose! It looks fairly decent for a post with no particular gameplay elements, so the structure is fine. Your larger images are extremely large and I'd recommend scaling them down a bit.

I don't hear a lot of the game audio, but that may be because the game is quiet or it may be intentional in editing. Otherwise the voice levels sound fine.

Video links are still broken for me, but at least they're getting to the Polsy website. Rather than just putting in the youtube video ID, you need to put in the entire youtube url.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:So I've been recording a Kerbal Space Program Let's Play for a while (I posted about this a while ago) and am looking to start editing the footage and add in post-commentary since much of the LP will have fast forwarding and jumpcuts due to the nature of the game. However, I'm not really sure how and when to properly employ these in a way that doesn't completely destroy the flow of things yet also speeds things along enough to not make it a boring watch, since KSP career mode consists of doing a LOT of the same things over and over. Is there some sort of guide to this sort of thing, or should I just go by feel? Edits are all by feel. If it's a repetitive action, you might show the action twice, maybe a third/fourth time if there's a different way of doing it. Otherwise saying "I made x number of herrings for this" is probably fine. Editing is still always better than no editing. It may take a while for you to find your flow in any given game though.

Zushio posted:Hello, this is my first LP and I wanted to get a bit of feedback before I continue. I'm pretty much ready to go, just want to make sure it's up to snuff. I know my voice and diction could use improvement, but that will come with time. Any other feedback would be great! Your audio balance was completely off at around 4:55, voice audio was covered almost entirely by the sound of rushing water. I didn't see much else that was entirely off. As far as commentary there's nothing particularly wrong with it. This game might be one that lends itself to "less is more" though. With as much quiet or ambient noise as there is in the world, letting it speak for itself might also be a method. Your call though!

Party Bug posted:I have here a vintage Renowned Explorers SSLP test post: I picked this game up after seeing your runs on the roguelite thread so neato! I was kinda expecting to see a study token next to the discovery token when you did your breakdowns of those. Also the different emotions could maybe use a bit more elaboration. Otherwise it looks pretty solid.

I guess I should make a new thing since I generally have free time to record at the moment. I'm looking for feedback on the game audio (I think it's a bit soft) and if there's any commentary/video goofs I've missed. I haven't recorded a thing in half a year, maybe I've lost my touch. I plan to put bios/information of interest in a second post. I know some links in the youtube description are wrong but I can't update those until I have threads :v What? Mad Max is an open world game in the vein of Just Cause (same developers), but with a bigger focus on vehicular combat and some Batman: Arkham style ground combat. It's a bit overstuffed with content and a fair amount of it is padding, but it's still worth seeing! The game is a loose to non-canonical tie in to Mad Max: Fury Road, and it takes a lot of influences and universe building based the universe fleshed out in that movie. George Miller was even involved in pre-production consulting! How? The game is far too stuffed with content to be a 100% play through, but I've got a good track record with open world games with an awful lot of content. I'll at least be completing the main storyline, do a fair amount of side content, and there's a good chance I'll reduce threat level in all areas to 0. I will not be doing all the various challenges through the game, I don't plan on touching post-game content, and getting all the history relics and death races completed is gonna be a nope from me. While doing some area cleanups I tentatively plan to make a quick overview of the various Mad Max movies, to give some context to what we find in various areas in the game. I'm afraid I don't have an awful lot planned for audience involved, although I will need your help at the end of the first video to pimp out our  ride!Videos  1: The Raggedy Man/Polsy - Vote for the Magnum Opus body!
