LOL why would you WATCH/READ someone else play a video game?
  • There are more video games that exist, even in your favorite genre, than you will ever play or even have in your steam library.
  • You haven't finished all those, so when are you REALLY going to make time to download and play "Woodruff and the Amazing Schibbel of Azimuth" and finally satisfy your curiousity of what the gently caress that game was, yourself, with your own effort.
  • You can't play a video game and grade a stack of papers or clean your apartment at the same time
  • Some let's players are actually good at games and watching them lets you learn how to play better
  • Some parts of games are bullshit and you want to see what 100% completion looks like without doing it yourself
  • You want to re experience that one part of a game but games don't have fast forward or rewind buttons
  • Many games are impossible to find, run on a modern computer, etc, and you can only experience as someone else playing it
  • Sometimes you want to see how a game plays but don't want to play 70 hours of it
  • Who cares, DAD, I do what I want

So you see there's a lot of reasons why people enjoy this modern form of entertainment. Though it's been around for a long rear end time now and now people have become millionaires off of it. How did that happen? Who knows, we can talk about it too. I've been seeing a lot of people outside the LP forum want to know the state of things, so I thought I'd make a place to talk about them.

I'm think anything you've heard of is reasonable for discussion. And you are allowed to like and talk about any let's plays ever, on or off site, even if it's Pewdiepie. But also, don't attack other people for liking Let's Players you think are tainted by drama. Even if it's Pewdiepie. I don't like him at all myself but it's "post YOUR favorite" not "post MY favorite". Besides, some of my favorite Let's Play circles have done poo poo I really wish they didn't. Basically Talking about drama is okay, bringing drama into the thread isn't.

Here are some of my favorites, to get the party started. Or at least the ones I remember at the moment. Again, this has been going on a loooong while.
There's a bunch of popular LPs I HAVEN'T viewed, like the Jurassic Park Trespasser game LP, Dectilon's romhack videos, or multiple Dark Souls games LPs (I liked Geops but I refuse to watch anymore until I actually can play that game and not get spoiled) (that's not going to happen) but again, it's "post YOUR favorite".

I prefer READING lps
  • Dark Id's lets plays: His lp's of the Drakengard series (which include Nier) lets you experience a bizarre, edgy, unique and relatively unknown game series that hates YOU personally for trying to 100% complete it. Plus it's a great way to catch up on the lore for the next Yoko Taro offering, Neir: Automata (with gameplay by PLATINUM!) coming out, except who knows if things will follow directly there. Dark Id is unique in that he adds in his own dialog, and he gets better at it as time continues. It's a bit eye-rolling in the Resident Evil series, which were his first LPs, but I think there's good reasons to read his treatments of almost every other LP he's written, many of which are in the "What the hell is this poo poo" category.
  • Orange Fluffy Sheep's lets plays are basically "let's break"'s. He does things with JRPGs no one thought possible. The Digimon World lp actually delves into the sourcecode to determine why it's such a horribly broken game. I recommend the Final Fantasy Tactics games and Final Fantasy V. Also The World Ends With You is good if you literally bought the game because of the LP but found you could not play a game with two screens at once :sigh:
  • Live A Live (or is it Live A Evil) is a lost chapter in the pantheon of SNES JRPG games, with a very unique battle system and storyline - it's not one hero's journey, it's 7 hero's journeys, one more gone horribly wrong, and a final chapter. It was also never released in the US. Worth experiencing one way or another. I think Yapping Evee's the better of the two on the archive for being one perspective all the way through and not having a bunch of failed attempts at added humor, though the thread did vote on the names.
  • Final Fantasy VII by Elentor is a deep and thoughtful look at a familiar game that is misremembered a bit. And was not well translated - notes about what some of the more bizarre terms, lines, and plot points were meant to mean ("Sephiroth clones") are included. Also notable for having videos for the boss battles that show how to beat the ones you thought were impossible. And also one that people thought would never finish... some let's players actually do things besides play video games for you.
  • The Chzo Mythos is a really funny look at a somewhat overcelebrated amateur work with commentary from the game's author - now known as Yahtzee - who takes it in stride (though if he didn't, he'd look a little hypocritical).
  • Megaman Battle Network has a long bizarre lp history. Epee Em played through the games, lost the screenshots for 1-3, and then those had to be LP'd again. But they're some of my favorite in the jrpg genre to play myself and this series shows ALL of their secrets. Network Transmission isn't really part of the series but if you want to see a bad Megaman game with level design worse than some fangames, then have I got the LP for you.

I like WATCHING lps
  • Illbleed! "Come on, let's go back to Hell! :unsmith:" Illbleed is my absolute favorite LP ever, it is a joy to watch this utterly surreal game. Supergreatfriend is also a great video let's player who has not changed how he lets plays to fit the times, and plays some really odd games. I recommend his LPS of the "D" series, Mode, and the Swery65 series (D4, Deadly Premonition) for more ambitious and bizarre games. Also does bad Xbox Horror games.
  • WrongPuraes are a lot of fun. The DarkSeed games, Harvester, Shadow of the.... Comet, King's Quest 5, Alone in the Dark, and Phantasmagoria are some of my picks.
    I like the Rom Pits by Smite and Tie tuesday. There's a lot of people who say the NES and SNES were the golden age of gaming and that their games were all the best things ever. These people are wrong.
  • Dazzling Addar thought they liked Donkey Kong 64 as a child. Watch as this fondness crumbles into frustration and despair in REAL TIME. (There was a later Donkey Kong game megathread that had skilled playthroughs of the two wii games and the three snes games that I thought was good. They could not make it through DK64)
  • In the same vein, the PokeCrew's LP of Sonic 2006, marathoned over one night and done before anyone else knew how terrible this game REALLY was... it's not a great LP but an unforgettable one. I've watched it more than once.
  • Lowtax's Gaming Garbage of barely functional crap is a series you've probably heard of as well.
  • SheshellsSeaShells crew streams of terrible horror games can be fun. I ended up actually buying DreadOut, but the bad unity games and their glitches (or high production value games bad glitches like the times when the Outlast enemies chased SSSS around a piece of furniture like a cartoon) are pretty fun.
  • Monkey Island/Sam and Max Series by Rocket Baby Dolls is not of bad games OF COURSE, I just liked this series, I bought and played through the Telltale chapters of these adventure games because of them and thought it was a good way to experience the dos games.
  • The Neverhood and its sequel Skullmonkeys[/url] by two day life was never actually archived for whatever reason but I think it's a game worth seeing, and it's worth appreciating the work that went into this LP. youtube channel doesn't put these into playlists either...

I watching people who can actually PLAY games play them
  • Hideofbeast/Violen plays through Megaman X1-X6 without taking any damage or using anything other than the buster, and stacks more gimmicks on top of those. There are no illusions here, as when a level takes a hundred retries he WILL let you know. Also plays through bossfights of the notoriously ball-crushing Zero games and ZX
  • LISA by voiceofdog looks at a bizarre tragedy of a rpgmaker game and puts a lot of effort into making it entertaining to watch, one of the few high-effort video lets plays these days.
  • Rogue Legacy is a game I find almost impossible. Smite is a world record holder at this game and he is extremely good at this platformer.
  • Psychedelic Eyeball's Super Meatboy's LP is just a sort of walkthrough, because what else could a meatboy LP BE... until he manages to playthrough the intense bullshit of the usermade levels.

a few others
Aavak and Splattercat do little Lp's of early access games, I don't usually watch their entire let's plays (except for Aavak's ferretcam) but they seem like alright guys and I like seeing these games demoed instead of feeling like I need to play them myself.
"What's up, this is Critical, and I'm pretty much the only good youtube LPer. I never use a facecam or show any emotion in my voice. I have three jokes and one of them is comparing things to cum. Let's do this poo poo."
Everyone has heard of Awesome Games Done Quick. I like the ones of the Kaizo Mario games.

It's mentioned in the OP, but Darkseed 2 by Slowbeef and Diabetus is essential viewing.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines by gatz and TheMcD was pretty good. Lemmings by Psychedelic Eyeball shows how crazy difficult those games were and Let's Vivisect Solaris by ManxomeBromide shows how crazy making games for the Atari 2600 could be. Civilization 2 by Melth shows off the weird quirks of the game and how to utterly dominate the AI.

For ongoing ones, I'm enjoying Every Game On Steam by Samu3lk and friends, Dragon Age: Origins by Inferior, and 20 Years of Doom by Temin_Dump and friends.

Didja Redo's Gazillionaire Deluxe screenshot LP turns a game which is mostly spreadsheets and 'buy low sell high' economics into a lighthearted but compelling narrative of a pair of down-on-their-luck dorks starting their first space business. Does a good job showing off the game, too, but it's not the main draw.

davidspackage's Hopkins FBI video LP takes the piss out of one of the worst adventure games I've ever seen. It's just long enough to not wear out its welcome and the delivery is perfect at highlighting how loving dumb everything in this game is.

I have to go.

The Turtle Moves.
A classic: Metroixer's Let's Break Pokemon Blue. Not your typical Pokemon LP: this one takes your childhood game and does things you'd never think could be done to a GB cartridge. Broken 'mons with hellish screams, broken worlds, and ghost trainers, some of it through Action Replay codes, but many others could as easily be done on a real cartridge (or the 3DS emulator, I guess). Some videos are gone, but most work or can be found on Youtube. Includes technical, but clear and comprehensive explanations as to why the game behaves like it does. Also in the archive, a small collection of posts in .txt format discuss varied aspects of how the coding of GB Pokémon games work. All in all, it's a good (and at times, a bit unsetting) lecture if you either played those games as a kid or are interested on how early GB games worked.

The absolute very best horror LP I've ever read was Egomaniac's take on the Remaster of Siren. It's a very complete and informative LP, including supplemental material never released in the US. Also, Ego sticks to subtitles for his videos, letting the atmosphere of the game speak for itself. Wear headphones for peak experience. Also, Siren is an impossibly difficult and obtuse game, but with an absolutely amazing storyline, with some of the very best "show don't tell" I've ever seen in a game, so it's great to have someone who knows exactly what they're doing pull it apart and show us every tiny speck of detail.

Another good horror LPer to look into is Niggurath here on the forums. He does a lot of games, many obscure, and does so with a calm and relaxing voice that is far easier to listen to than the screaming jumpers you complain about.


Unrelated: If you're interested in Screen Shot LPs that add a narrative, I strongly recommend checking out Chokes McGee's runs of Final Fantasy Legend 1 and 2 on the game boy. He is an excellent writer that adds metric tons of humor, pathos, and drama into these games, heavily characterizing what are normally blank slate player characters, and fleshing out the stories far further than what is in the game itself, while expertly staying true to what the games actually say.


Also, I too am a big fan of watching things like AGDQ and seeing people far better at older games than I'll ever be speedrun them. In that vein I'm totally hyped for next month's Big 20 Famicom Race, a marathon where players have to go through twenty famicom titles in a row, with most of the games having the stipulation of winning the whole game. As it says, it's a famicom race. Some of the titles have been ported to the NES, some with graphic overhauls (Hebereke turned into Uforia, for example) and then some games NEVER left Japan. It should be a fun race.

Poptartsninjas long (possibly longest) running Let's All Play Battletech and Rewrite Inner Sphere History LP is very heavy on the reading and so. loving. long. but extremely worth it, in my opinion.
It began in 2011 and is still ticking along, having posters participate in the scenarios makes for a lot of interesting fights, as well as a sort of communal learning process about how the game works, what works in terms of tactics and how to use the various 'mechs and their weapons to the best.

Ptn is also a pretty great storyteller and his big story updates and combat theatre votes in between scenarios are always interesting. There's been any number of times I've been torn between several possible votes for the next scenario because they all sound super interesting.

Would Game Center CX count? It's a show in Japan where this thirty-something comedian and game lover named Arino comes in and has to meet challenges for old games (usually beat them) within a time limit. He's not an expert player, and often is new to the games offered, but he and the producers of the show make it incredibly entertaining. You find yourself easily rooting for the lovable Arino, and cheering along with him when he conquers particularly difficult challenges. Also, the show is intermixed with features such as trips to various arcades in Japan (called Game Centers there), and interviews with classic game creators and stuff like that. There's a big thread in Games about the show, and I'm pretty sure goons are the main source of subtitling on the net. It doesn't take much searching to find episodes on youtube or whatever, though they regularly get taken down as well. To really get a feel for the show, I suggest starting with early episodes before going forward. The Super Mario series, in order, would be a good overview of the style of the show and how it's grown, both in presentation, and in Arino's skill. On the other hand, the Punch-Out episode might be the funniest one of the entire series. The show is probably the closest equivalent to a "Top Gear" for classic gamers, and is just terrific.

Anyway, for me practically anything from The Men Drinkin' Coffee are top-notch. Special mention goes to LPs of Raven's Cry and Ride to Hell: Retribution, the latter of which is... NWS? I think? I also like CJacobs' work, especially his Bubsy LP.
