Let's Play: Request Thread

The rules:

1. All normal forum rules apply.

2. (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-siren.gif)Scan the MASTER LIST before making a request for a game just in case it hasn't been done before or in a long time.(img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-siren.gif) (Searching with a blank box shows Abandoned LPs.)

3. If it's not on the Master List, state the name of the game, the system it can be played on, and the style, if preferred (Screenshot, video, etc).

4. Please list a reason as to why you would like your chosen game Let's Played, and not just post Game/System/Style.

5. Pray that someone is nice enough to spend their time solely for your entertainment.

Requests will be updated when possible; I can be PMed or contacted through Skype at TerrorVan if there's any immediate concerns, or if there's a game that should be removed because you're/someone else is doing it.

If you answer an LP request and start a thread, please link to it here in a new post. Thanks to all of you who are accepting these requests!

And always, thanks to Darardusaki for creating and maintaining the first request thread.

Happy Requesting!

Ah new thread.

Looking at the list, I'm currently running a LP of Catherine. I also did Wild ARMs 3 some time ago and it's now on the LP archive, though that was a hybrid SSLP, not purely video.

njsykora @ May 24, 2012 17:21
Good god someone needs to go through that list with a hacksaw. I might take an hour or so later on to cross check it with the master list and see if we can't cut it down. I can see in the first few letters at least 5 games that have been done or are being done on there.

ForeverBWFC @ May 24, 2012 18:03
Crowetron just finished an LP of Parasite Eve 2, he's just taking a break before going over bonus features.

Dehry @ May 24, 2012 18:48
Borderlands is on the list, but there's an LP on going at http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...hreadid=3401997 . Unless the person wants a single player LP

C-Euro @ May 24, 2012 19:02
I'd still like to see a proper on-site LP/thread for Shadows of the Damned. I know supergreatfriend is doing one for a 1up.com blog and using his Spy Fiction thread to post updates here, but no one's really talking about the game and some have called for the thread to be locked since the Spy Fiction run is over now. It's a pretty cool game and also really straightforward, and it didn't get a whole lot of press when it came out so I think a quick LP to show it off would be worthwhile.

The new console Fire Emblem games (Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn) - Gamecube, Wii, Hybrid.

Ape Hawk is doing a Guild Wars thread here. It's a hybrid LP rather than a video one, but all the important story bits have a video link.

P3FES is an odd one. Persona 3 Portable has all the enhancements from FES in its main story, which is being done by Feinne here. The FES only content is up on the LP archive under "The Answer" also done by Feinne, here.

Radiant Dawn's LP is on the archive and finished. It is here. Fedule is also doing Path of Radiance. The thread is here.

Blastinus @ May 24, 2012 19:37
Also, ohmRice already did an LP of Yume Nikki with subtitles, so you can strike that from the list as well.

Artix @ May 24, 2012 19:40
Demon Trigger did Donkey Kong Country 3, Maple Leaf did Metroid: Other M, Valkyria Chronicles is in the archive already, Lethemonster has an ongoing LP of Xenoblade Chronicles, and I remember Klaoth doing an LP of Escape from Bug Island, but the it wasn't archived and it's not an active thread anymore.

Weird BIAS @ May 24, 2012 19:43
I'm almost done the Final Fantasy XII LP. Just need to get off my ass and edit the commentary together.

Silver Falcon @ May 24, 2012 19:47
A Gex LP has been finished, and the OP plans on moving to Gex 3 once he's done with Gex 2.

whitehelm @ May 24, 2012 20:10
I don't think requests should be removed until the LP fulfilling it has been completely finished. A lot of LPs get abandoned.

ChaosSmurf @ May 24, 2012 20:25
I dunno what the etiquette is when requesting games that are in the Master List, but I'd love to see someone do StarLancer. I have no idea how good the original LP was, but there's no way the voice acting in that game deserves screenshots.

It's a very stupid, very fun, very cinematic space shooter that I actually think tells a pretty good story reasonably well. Has a decent multiplayer, from what I've heard, which could be good for a bit of participation.

I considered doing this but there are a tight little knot of missions that are so fucking bullshit you'd have to have a burlesque show going in a picture-in-picture to keep people interested. Any mission where 'defend (insert cap ship here) from torpedoes' is in your mission objectives is just a total write-off from an entertainment perspective because there is no possible way to beat the mission legitimately. Either you spend your entire mission spawn camping the bombers (which is boring), or shooting down the torpedoes (which is beyond boring).

If you've got a particular idea to make this part not suck a huge amount of dick I'm all ears.

Koorisch @ May 24, 2012 21:31
I don't see either Dark Colony and/or Dark Reign 1+2 on the list so I'd put up a request here just because they're cool and maybe some nice person could LP either of them. (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-shobon.gif)

Nidoking @ May 24, 2012 22:06
Skies of Arcadia Legends has been done, and I don't think the LP was lacking in any way. Also, Bart's Nightmare was for SNES, not NES, and I did a video of it for the Short Game Theater thread, but it might be worth leaving on the list.

I believe the Alundra LP also finished both games, and I know the two Zelda CDi games listed (Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon) were done some time ago. Those are the ones I'm familiar with that haven't been listed yet.

SupSuper @ May 24, 2012 23:53
Before the thread gets full of corrections, I've matched all the games that are both in the LP Request List and the LP Master List with the same platform/type/etc: http://pastebin.com/BaqyLWPR
Note that the status are based on the LP Master List, and I may have missed any strange requests/different spelled games.

I considered doing this but there are a tight little knot of missions that are so fucking bullshit you'd have to have a burlesque show going in a picture-in-picture to keep people interested. Any mission where 'defend (insert cap ship here) from torpedoes' is in your mission objectives is just a total write-off from an entertainment perspective because there is no possible way to beat the mission legitimately. Either you spend your entire mission spawn camping the bombers (which is boring), or shooting down the torpedoes (which is beyond boring).

If you've got a particular idea to make this part not suck a huge amount of dick I'm all ears.

Hah, you make a fair point. I can't really think of a solution, beyond simply speeding those sections up. There are times when it gets pretty exciting - but usually it is just awful. I'd be more worried about the stability of the game, were someone going to LP it. It's bad enough on it's own, god know's what might happen with recording software in the background.

EDIT: OR you do the entire thing in co-op with each ship recording and (I can only assume) that makes it interesting.

I know it's farfetched but I would love to see an LP of Sukeban Shachou Rena Wii. Infamous for being considered the worst selling game of all time, it honestly is super amusing in premise. Even though it's just a mini-game collection.

Preferably someone with knowledge of the Japanese language; to explain better what is going on in the game.

While I'm here, I've always thought an LP of Impossible Creatures would be pretty cool, especially if goons could vote for hybrids. I'm not actually sure how good the gameplay is, but that gimmick alone has a lot of potential.

Yea, as someone mentioned at the end of the last request thread there was already a finished LP of Impossible Creatures done last year. Sadly it was never archived but it is there if you wish to look at it.

As someone who created one (admittedly lackluster) screenshot LP of this game elsewhere, I'm honestly unsure why anyone would want to choose it from amongst all the other requests. Especially if they wanted theirs to be a video LP, which would borderline demand either co-commentators or liberal use of sped-up footage. Quite possibly both.

I was thinking of trying my hand at that request for a hybrid LP of Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, but that game is very strange. You have to beat the game multiple times to unlock more story, etc. You're also expected to "give up" at points of the game and do a NG+ to start over with better gear, the game encourages you to do it a bunch.

How would one do this? If I did it, should I do it all without using the "give up" option? Or should I just get a save with the highest rank and unlock everything in the first playthrough, while blazing through the entire game?

Edit: sorry if this is something meant for the Sandcastle, I just wanted to let people know that someone was honestly considering the game soon.

Any preference for screenshot or video? Video for the tank and boss battles at least, I'm sure.

I just played through this for the first time recently, actually, and am still in the process of getting that last HP upgrade and alchemy recipe. It's a fun game, and would actually be easy to do on an emulator since it doesn't use touch control at all. I've not played DQVIII yet (or any other DQ game actually) but I've been thinking about doing this one anyway.

EDIT: Oh man, a multiplayer tournament for this one has the potential to be pretty cool as well. Either skip the grinding element with cheats or give everyone a couple weeks of prep time and see who has way too much time on their hands.

I'd love to see an Under a Killing Moon LP. I tried to play it a day or two back and...yeesh. The adventuring and FMV actually hold up pretty well, but the decision to map keyboard controls to look around (and up and down) while mapping the mouse to actual forward and backward movement (and turning) was positively criminal.

The hybrid approach was actually how I was doing it off-site before real life got in the way. (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-ssh.gif) I'm fairly sure it would make a better VLP though.

As for the DQVIII remark, it isn't a big deal. And if we can make a Half-Minute Hero multiplayer video and Megaman races, I'm sure we can get at least a few goons to tank battle.

I think the best way would be to play through the game on a fresh save normally and maybe show off the give up option once or whenever else you need it. Then once you finish the fresh run do another one off of a save with the highest rank. I'd definitely be looking forward to it. It's a great game that I think a lot of people gave up on because it was too hard.

The story for Kingdom Hearts 2 is really fucking simple. There are these things called nobodies that are formed when a strong person becomes a heartless which, even though we saw literally thousands of heartless in the first game, we never saw a nobody. The 13 strongest nobodies made Organization XIII who are bad guys, we should stop them, because Mickey told us to.

I'm not even joking, that is the plot to KH2. Someone can make an LP with the story if they want, but the plot is nothing to write home about.

Pretty much this, Birth By Sleep may be pretty damn terrible in story terms but its gameplay is probably the best since KH2 itself. If you enjoy playing the games (and really, they're way more involved than most JRPGs) then I'd say you're doing yourself a disservice not playing Birth by Sleep.

I find that the easiest way to beat the game without using the give up option is to abuse the shit out of the chest monsters in the ice area. Do it correctly and they can supply with enough money to buy healing items for the rest of the game.

I don't think the RPGMaker game idea is terrible. LPs of either hilariously bad games or the very few that are worthwhile would probably be great. Someone did one recently that was pretty entertaining.

Or hell, just some guys having a laugh would work.

Well, the problem with that is that there's no angle that really works. Almost every level really amounts to the same thing - you roll a ball and pick up stuff. The silliness isn't really enough to keep up the entertainment for an entire LP, and there's not enough information to do an informative LP and way too much stuff to do a completionist LP. Jamesman had a race thread running a while back, but the logistics got to be too much and I don't think he had time to keep up with it.

The good RPGMaker games tend to have their own threads already, and there's only so much humor to mine from crappy ones. There's no real need for a megathread, especially since a megathread involving several screenshot LPs could get pretty cluttered.

This might be a crazy idea, but I'd like to see someone do a Terraria LP. Yes, it's an open-world game with no fixed goals, but the way each boss fight seems to lead into the next one (killing boss A gives you the resources you need to kill boss B, and so on) seems like it could provide enough structure for a decent LP.

I find that the easiest way to beat the game without using the give up option is to abuse the shit out of the chest monsters in the ice area. Do it correctly and they can supply with enough money to buy healing items for the rest of the game.

Actually, there's a part in the game where you have to face a series of bosses. I highly recommend that you save it before the run, defeat all of the bosses while in dragon form while keeping your other party members away, and then do a SOL Restore at the end of it when the game goes back to normal.

That way, you keep all of the experience from defeating them, while at the same time saving you from an early game over. I've gained several levels that way. But, then again, it's been warned that this method makes the game easier than usual to the point of it almost being cheating, so it's up to you.

I still hold that it would make a fantastic LP. Just needs someone with a bit of strategy skill and a sense of humour. I have neither.

I've been throwing ideas around in my head for a long time about how to do the third one, but every time I get ideas to actually start one either my computer up and dies (fuck second-hand computers and laptops) or I can't get it working right on the computer that does work.

I probably wouldn't do it the way the first thread did, with goon characters. Instead I would offer a few different parties for people to vote on which they would like to see.

Long way off though, what with shit-for-money job and shit-for-performance laptop.

Someone did a test post for it not too long ago, and then everyone shit on him because it was a narrative before giving advice. Don't know if he's still going to do it.

I'd like to see it, because I'm of the opinion that every game can be LP'd properly if done the right way. Plus as said, Terraria is much more structured than something like Minecraft. It could be a fun watch.

JossiRossi @ May 28, 2012 14:28
I feel Terraria might benefit from it being a kind of "open co-op" with structure. Like having the OP be the guy who goes for the fights and ideally the best loot and equipment. After all who wants the main guy to be less advanced than the support?

Then when a session goes up the OP can let people know and if they can make it they do, if not well he should be fine and can go it alone that way he's not reliant upon anyone else to get things done.

Having more people can up the interesting factor, but making sure you don't NEED those extra people is pretty important.

If it was done that way, you'd want to get agreement from the supporting players that they won't bring in equipment with them, but will use the equipment the LPer provides them (which would have been previously collected/created during the LP). Then when they're done, they put the support player's equipment back in the appropriate chest before logging off. That way you avoid the problem of someone with end-game equipment trivializing early bosses.

The question of max HP and MP would also arise: the supporting players would need to bring in a character with HP and/or MP levels that more or less match the LPer's main character, to keep the difficulty curve at about the same level. Someone with a freshly-created character would die too fast on late bosses, and someone with maxed-out HP would make early bosses look trivial. With just a little effort on the part of supporting players, though, this could easily be made to be Not A Problem™. If the player who wants to join doesn't have enough MP or LP, other people reading the thread could chip in a few Life Crystals or Mana Crystals each -- the game generates way more crystals (of both varieties) than any one person could use, so this wouldn't be a big sacrifice on anyone's part.

... Yeah, I think a co-op of the type you describe could work quite well.

Rita Repulsa @ May 28, 2012 20:26
I think a fun way to do Terraria would be a race, with rules against cheating in items. Possibly with co-op, given that Skeletron Prime is a fucking slog if you try it yourself. (Maybe everyone starts solo, and the endgame they form teams?)

In fact most of the final bosses are only fun co-op and you have to have really annoying clever set-ups to even make a dent in them solo in boring damageless cheese battles.

I would be very appreciative if someone were to play Age of Empires 2 for the PC, as I have been playing it quite a bit lately, but I am rather bad at it and I would like to see how someone who has a better grasp of real time strategy would go about playing it.

Whatever style the LPer wants to use is fine. I would like to see a person play through some of the Campaigns, and possibly look at some mods and/or player made scenarios, along with demonstrations on the unique features of the nations and how they cause them to play differently, and of course a informative style would be appreciated.

If doing all of that seems burdensome, I'd be just fine with only one or two of those things, but so long as it's good, I am fine with whatever the person who would LP it would do.

EDIT: The conquerors expansion would be preferred. When I think about it, an in-character run of a nation or two would be wonderful as well.(this would also be optional if it asking too much)

2nd EDIT: I suppose it certainly reads like that, and a humorous narrative would be fine. to be quite honest, it just seems like the land units are just chaff with how the castles cut through them, though I guess I'm getting a little off topic from LP requests.

Sounds like you need a walkthrough more than an LP. I don't think a straight RTS like Age of Empires 2 is really suited to an informative LP style, it would probably get pretty dull pretty quickly. It'd need something like a humorous narrative to keep things interesting.

Jamesman had a really good Katamari thread going for a bit a few years ago. It combined a solo, semi-informative playthrough with on-going race videos between a pool of participants. I think technical/organizational problems sort of led to the game never getting finished.

Looks like the old Bubble Bobble LP is dead due to being on Google Video. It'd be awesome to watch a team go through the game (since as it is well-known the real ending isn't available to just one player) and possibly some of the sequels. There's a remake of the first game called Bubble Bobble Neo (XBLA) (Bubble Bobble Plus on WiiWare) that adds a new set of 100 levels as well as two sets of 50 new expert DLC levels, and supports 4 players in the new sets of levels. This or the arcade version would be preferable.

Other main games in the series should someone wish to turn it into a series playthrough, listed on preferred system:
Bubble Bobble Part 2 (NES)
Rainbow Islands (Arcade) (Available on Taito Legends for PS2/PC/Xbox)
Parasol Stars (TG16)
Bubble Symphony (Arcade)(4 player) (Available on Taito Legends 2 for Xbox/PC)
Bubble Memories (Arcade)
Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure (WiiWare)

I'd love to see LPs of any of the more obscure Maxis Sim games, i.e. the ones that aren't a SimCity game or Spore. Things like SimEarth, SimFarm, SimLife, SimAnt, A-Train... oh gosh, there's a whole bunch. I checked the Master List and saw abandoned attempts at SimTower and SimAnt, as well as the archived SimCopter one (and of course the SimCity ones).

Although maybe one game wouldn't be enough to sustain a thread, perhaps a megathread for the series would be better, I don't know. Either way, if possible it would also be great to see extracts from the series' excellent manuals, because they deserve showcasing.

I guess one angle you could take with either SimEarth or SimLife would be a kind of "what Spore could have been" if it had stuck to the kind of design philosophies those games used.

Somebody should make an LP out of the efforts of freeware game developing tool communities. I mean, take a site like The Daily Click (http://www.create-games.com/home.asp), browse through the download list and play the lowest rated games. From my experience an uncreative mind stuck with Multimedia Fusion sometimes provides unintentionally hilarious results.

After I quit LPing Phoenix Wright several months ago, I had three different people talk to me about LPing it. Not surprisingly, nothing came out of any of them. Not that I blame them, of course, because it's a pain to LP.

It would help if you're very passionate about the series and had a lot to talk about, but in the end it's a ton of work. I'm talking 3-4 hours to show off 10-15 minutes of gameplay. Of course, I actually transcribed all the dialogue myself rather than use a script, but you'll still probably want to use a bunch of different face pics for dialogue, which means screenshotting almost every line, and you'll probably want to make GIFs to show off some of the cooler moments, and the game shakes around enough that it can be difficult at times to make good GIFs at a low enough size. It took me maybe four updates just to do the first case. Now multiply that by six, and it'll take a lot of updates for one of the longer cases. The bonus case could be as high as 30 or more updates just by itself.

If you really feel you have the time and energy to pull it off, go for it. But this is definitely one of the hardest games to LP, and it's also tough to really do commentary for it. You may want to consider abridging some of the content just to make things more bearable.

If you're going through with it, though, feel free to PM or AIM me if you want any help or advice. I'd love to see this done well, as I do believe that any game can be LP'd well enough. It's just that this one takes a lot more effort than is reasonable for most people, myself included.

HelloWinter @ Jun 1, 2012 16:57
Thanks a lot, everyone, for the kind warnings. I am very much aware that this game will probably kill a lot of my spare time during the process due to how demanding and dialogue-intensive it is. The most worrisome aspects for creating this LP seems to be writing almost every line of dialogue with a unique face portrait, making an ample amount of screenshots and gif animations, and to make it entertaining enough for those who have already played through the trilogy. I feel like I can tackle the first two problems if the updates are rolling at a rate of every four days or up to a week at a time. I have a massive tolerance when it comes to repetitive tasks, so boredom will not be an issue. As for the information content, I have several websites that I can refer to for concept art, interviews or random bits of trivia that can be added to each update post. There are also several goons like Waffleman_ who are pretty darn knowledgeable about the games. I'd love to be able to exchange information with them in order to make the update posts look spot-on.

Of course, the toughest part for me to tackle would be the extra commentary and/or photoshops. Those would take at least a whole day's worth of work for each update because of my perfectionism ... but who knows? I would still have a lot of fun doing them regardless, the issue is the time that it takes. I am a little bit experienced with sprite work, so that process might be shorter than what I am thinking right now.

In the end, I am striving to do a great job like Mega64 has done with his SSLP. This is my most cherished game series when it comes to the visuals, the dialogue and its characters. I've played through them more than a dozen times but I still get engrossed and entertained by each moment. Nothing would satisfy me more than to have this excellent game be known by even one more person in this forums.

I didn't know SM64 romhacking had come so far, last I saw was just putting blocks n shit into the old levels. I think this looks really good, actual level design rather than the typical romhack fuckery.

So yes, I hereby sincerely request someone makes a video LP of this romhack.

More an interest check than a request (someone play Total Carnage for the love of god!), but I've had an idea kicking around in my head since I finished my last LP.

It's a pretty basic concept, instead of playing through a full game people would take on the final boss/last level of a game. I can't remember if that was attempted rlbefore or what, but it just seemed like an interesting concept.

I have no idea. I think the challenge thread idea MWTH posted would be hilarious combined with the savefile idea. Consoles wouldn't be left out either thanks to cloud saves.

Edit: I'm thinking of something like "here's my Mass Effect 2 save with all the wrong people selected for the final mission, good luck." sort of thing for this.

I was busy working on that a while back and planned on re-do my test post (which was a little bland) but I never got back to it. I've got loads of free time now, so I can get working on that again, unless someone else wants to do it, in which case go right ahead.

I was planning on skipping the first game, though. The sequel is loads better and half of the first game is action stages, which are inane, repetitive, and very easily broken (though a few get creative). Would anybody really care if I skipped Scribblenauts and went straight on to Super Scribblenauts or should I just go ahead and start with the first one?

Yeah, my plan was to have a lot of audience interaction (basically I would do a run through of a world normally, then another runthrough using audience suggestions/ideas) since otherwise it would be a boring LP and not in the spirit of the game. Though challenges like those sound like a good idea.

The first game only has one thing to show off that I am not sure if it was in the second game. I think skipping it for the better sequel would be fine, considering the puzzles barely change.

I'm surprised that no one has requested Star Trek: Elite Force and Star Trek: Elite Force II. Those are some pretty good first-person shooters and they got the voice actors from the shows to resume their roles.

The games were fun, with a wide variety of environments, each suited to their own weapon. There were a lot of memorable setpieces and boss fights. There were some minor choices you could make. For example, in the second game you could choose between love interests.

Obviously they should be done as a VLP, with no talking over dialogue.

Something I'm wondering in terms of the request list, is FF3 for DS significantly different from the original release?

Not that I'm considering doing it right now, as I am struggling just to get together with my partner in LPing to keep my current LP running with both of us having full schedules, but, I feel like if it is different, the person LPing may be able to show off the differences a bit and make a bit more information. I would find that fascinating, but definitely a good amount of work, if anyone wants to take that project on.

Some of the classes have been majorly rebalanced, and due to engine limitations there can only be three enemies in battle at once (the original can have something like 8 or 9), but this is counterbalanced by the game giving some enemies (especially bosses) two or three turns to every one of yours. Aside from that, it's virtually unchanged, right down to the terrible decision of "No save points in dungeons. Yes, that includes the final dungeon, why do you ask?"

E: VV No one should be forced to play that game, let alone LP it.

As for the FF3, I would assume if anyone was to do the LP, they would just use Desume and savestate their way through. But, it is good to know there are no real big differences for future reference if someone does start an LP. (I would assume it would be a SSLP)

The game's fun to start out, but it gets rather soul-crushing after a while, and games can easily stretch out to days long if you're playing Story Mode. You'd want dudes who are in it for the long haul. I mean seriously long haul.

Yeah, no kidding. Some friends and I played that game in story mode on and off for weeks, including an all day stint over a holiday. We'd gotten fairly close to endgame, we thought, but actually making it there was going to take a ridiculous amount of grinding without much in the way of the novelty that had kept our progression fresh until then.

I'm gonna put in a request for Haze. This PS3-exclusive first person shooter had a bit a hype before it released, but all that hype died upon release when it became clear that it was a mountain of trash. It's hilariously bad and its brain-dead writing, awful voice-acting and its bog-standard gameplay(with a few interesting but poorly-implemented gimmicks thrown in) make it a perfect storm of B-movie entertainment.

An addendum to this: I do not believe Scarboy used the co-op code. After the first dungeon of the game, Spike will always be accompanied by a partner, who was originally supposed to be fully controllable. However, the team never quite got the semantics of how to make the partner balanced and fun, so the functionality was largely removed. If you input the code you can still access it, but the partner only attacks by bumping into enemies and is completely invincible. It makes the game much easier, but a partner can really spice up the game by being a total goofball. I have good memories of it from my wee years.

The Moon Monster @ Jun 11, 2012 19:11
I'm putting in a request for the What did I do to deserve this, my lord? series on the PSP. Particularly the third entry No Heroes Allowed.

The games are sort of like dungeon keeper, except you build your dungeon almost entirely by digging. You have to balance the ecology of your dungeon because each creature you can spawn has a unique life cycle and depends on certain conditions and resources being available. By creating certain ecological conditions you can evolve a certain species of creature. For instance, if all of your bug monsters are being eaten by lizardmen they'll evolve into a poisonous species. This makes them stronger but also damages your lizardmen who have to eat them to survive.

The game also has a pretty cool pixelart style to it. I just suck horribly at the games so if someone who doesn't could do an lp that would be great.

Some years before the current not-vaporware-honest-we've-got-a-demo-and-all RPG Age of Decadence the shithole that is RPGCodex hosted the forums of another inde RPG - Prelude to Darkness. It had the same ideas - turn based combat, extensive dialogue, being heavily plot-centric, emphasis on character skills not player skills, multiple solutions to quests and similar RPGCodex wank material. Beta of version 1.8 is available from the forums.

Unsurprisingly, it failed as a commercial project and was plagued by numerous glitches, but it was playable and reportedly somewhat interesting. A LP of it would also serve as a warning for everyone waiting for Age of Decadence, because it's guided by the same RPG purist ideals. It's far too slow for video, so screenshots would be preferable.

This might sound strange, but I'd like to put in a serious request for someone to post a video of them reaching the highest rank in Space Pinball which came free with the windows XP.

If someone has the amazing abilities of finishing this game, or finding some way of porting it to a save-statable program and maybe even TAS the game, that would be absolutely beautiful. I would love to watch a pinball wizard rise through the ranks of space academy earning tens of millions of points.

I used to compete on this game with my siblings and I couldn't really get much higher than lieutenant (the 3rd rank?) I've played it with cheats but I'd love to watch someone progress through all the ranks in a fluent video, if it's at all possible, and if someone is graceful enough to do it.

edit: in case anyone's wondering, I felt inspired to request this from watching UZ's stream in the musical note secret thread where he jokingly brings up the idea of someone doing a tas of space pinball, I laughed for a while, then thought if someone took that seriously it could be glorious.

I've thought about pinball games a bit and yeah, haven't yet come up with a good way to LP them, though a megathread almost seems like a certainty due to how quickly the games tend to be over. The exception might be something like Pinball Quest or Mario Pinball where there's some definite progression and changing levels, but even then there's bound to be a lot of repetition. At the very least you'd have to be rather skilled at the game, and even with skills/knowledge there's still a lot of random potential to kill a good game. I don't know how viable chopping up different runs to show off all the features of a game would be, but that's a possibility.

It'd be great to see some crazy person attempt and succeed at a pinball LP, though.

Is there a way with Emulators to use the microphone on the computer? I remember Phantom Hourglass used it a few times before I gave up with the stupid ass stylus controls, but, perhaps if you can emulate the games, the mouse controls at least make it like a point and click adventure.

Is there a way with Emulators to use the microphone on the computer? I remember Phantom Hourglass used it a few times before I gave up with the stupid ass stylus controls, but, perhaps if you can emulate the games, the mouse controls at least make it like a point and click adventure.
I've just checked the DeSmuMe emulator and it seems like it does have microphone support under Configurations settings. You then need to put a Hotkey for the microphone under the Hotckey Config. There's no way for me to test it with a physical mic right away, but the option is there.

I wasn't all that interested in MadWorld when it was released a few years back. Then I completely forgot about it until somebody posted this in the FFX LP thread. Now I'm thinking this could be pretty great LP material, so I'll second that earlier request.

Also, is it possible for someone to edit the master list and change the Escape from Monkey Island LP to "cancelled"?

RIFTS: Promise of Power

...on the N-Gage. Although I'm not sure if N-Gage emulators exist or anything for it to be possible, but that has to be one of the most obscure games around.

Hell, maybe an N-Gage retrospective thread would be entertaining. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing how someone would play a Sonic game on a screen that's higher than it is wide.

Of course, that would also make it a pain to show off in video, I guess.

Most (all, really) of the images are gone, but it reminded me of how fun having the entire community voting on an Oregon Trail run was. (We went east. We went east in Oregon Trail.

I haven't played the original RPG system, but yeah I've heard it was quite questionable as well... The funny thing is Promise of Power has excellent reviews by everyone who has played it, as do the Pathway to Glory games, which were also N-Gage exclusives.

How odd; I thought Dark Earth was in the LP Archive. There's one episode missing from the YouTube playlist; you can find it on Blip, though. Episode 15.

I would like to request a video or hybrid LP of Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure for PC. It is a truly horrible point-and-click adventure that somehow ended up with good background music by an award-winning composer. The voice acting is very, very special.

It's apparently some kind of a combination of strategy and FPS dungeon adventure.

The only thing I remember is he played the Monday Night Football theme during the football level, not sure if he returned the opening kickoff.

I want to LP Buster Busts Loose, but want to avoid rehashing if his was similar. Or if his is lost in the passage of time I guess that can't be helped. Sorry I can't give better detail, it was so long ago and searching youtube didn't give me the LP I saw...

Well it's not to say it hasn't been tried before but the game is a tremendous slog, especially as Coolguye pointed out later on. But it would definitely be interesting to see it done well.

Azure_Horizon @ Jun 27, 2012 22:19
Still waiting for an Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits LP. It's my favorite in the series with some fantastic music and a story that's pretty good until it runs out of steam in the last quarter (Darc's story is amazing).

I also quite like the gameplay, despite how slow it can be at times. Preferably a vLP as there's some cool animations for characters in battles and in cutscenes.

Kung-Fu Jesus @ Jun 27, 2012 22:23
I actually agree with you that the game is quite good, but some of those battles get very long and would be really boring to watch. It doesn't help that everything moves at a sort of ponderous, contemplative pace during which the characters pause to shout the same one-liners again and again. I think a hybrid approach or a heavily edited VLP would be necessary.

Oh I agree. Some battles would definitely get monotonous but stuff like boss battles where you have unique voice clips and spells/animations would be good. A lot of enemies have sleek animations that should be shown off.

Perhaps the best way would be to approach it like Feinne does sRPGs -- screenshots of major events and stuff to talk about, while still providing a video with commentary if you so choose.

If it's only the battles that you're concerned about, editing it wouldn't be too much of a problem. From my random experimenting that never sees the light of day turn based battles really don't lose much from a quick FadeOut/FadeIn unless you change the perspective greatly between the fades (which is disorienting). So simply setting up, explaining your basic theory to the fight, and fading out with the comment that it will take a while to execute seems to work pretty well. The hardest part is keeping a mental note of what your fade out perspective looked like so you can fade back in on something that looks similar.

But if it's basically the whole game you're worried about dragging on (I have no idea how well AtL is paced) then yeah a hybrid might be best.

Kung-Fu Jesus @ Jun 28, 2012 15:44
Oh man, hybrid plus heavy editing. It's starting to sound like a high-effort endeavor. Story is contained in lots of talking heads dialog boxes with voice acting. There might be some choice cutscenes that would be good to have video of, but most of it should be portraits and transcribed text.

There's also lots of "random" (more like forced) battles when you're trying to get from one location to another that a hybrid LP could just skip completely.

Azure_Horizon @ Jun 28, 2012 19:14
I dont think it would be that bad. Just take some video of random encounters (that have new foes), some video of story battles, videos of all cutscenes, and then screenshot the rest.

Kung-Fu Jesus @ Jun 28, 2012 21:24
Is there something I'm missing about Baroque that makes it at all interesting to watch or play or experience in anyway? Seems to me it's everything you hate about anime plots plus the bad graphics and impenetrability of nethack all in lovingly bad 3D. I did a blind mini-play of it back when I had lots more time on my hands and... ugh (I was going to link it here, but it looks like I deleted it).

Bottom line, if someone made an LP, I'd watch because I'd want to know what anyone sees in it.

Pesky Splinter @ Jun 28, 2012 21:54
I think people just like the strangeness of it.

I wouldn't mind an LP of it, preferably by someone who has an idea of what's happening, because I could barely make head or tail of it.

Milky Moor @ Jun 29, 2012 09:35
Huh. Albion is on this list.

I've done one LP before. The adventure game Universe, one of my favorite games from my childhood. Albion was similar - a game I absolutely adored with an interesting world, cool mythology and nice gameplay for its time.

I figure I might try and get something up soon - these ideas have been rattling around inside my head for days. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes with this.

Myth 2: Soulblighter is another candidate. I know it inside and out - all sorts of minuscule trivia, history and lore.

Both of them have plenty of good memories and are, really, quite unmatched by modern games in certain areas. I'll need to think on this. From what I can tell, Myth 2 has had a video LP but Albion has never been attempted on this forum? As I've said, I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Anyone ever do/were planning to do an LP of The Last Express? It's on GOG now so it would be a great time for anyone to pick it up. It's unique in that it was an adventure game that featured live actors being rotoscoped to look cartoony in its visuals, actual real-time gameplay (events occurred and characters went and accomplished their own goals regardless of whether or not you did), amazing plot reactivity that led to a ton of different outcomes, and was one of the few games to A} take place on a train, B} take place during WWI.

To top it off, the real-time aspect of the game was so prominent that apparently you could sit down during a classical concert instead of doing what you were supposed to be doing, and it would take 20 minutes for it to finish.

It was a PC game, and as an adventure title it could go either screenshot or video, although video is always preferred with visually intensive adventure titles.

I think in a game such as this (which I've played and beaten), where the animations are such that you can see people entering and leaving their cabins and rarely sitting still, I would want this LP to only be in video.

Of course, editing might be necessary, but if it includes things such as the concert, people should be given the option whether to skip it or watch the whole thing (although I'd always recommend the latter option).

Watching the Wrestling MPire videos has made me think it would be nice to see some sort of a megathread for various shitty wrestling games, stuff like the Legends of Wrestling and Backyard Wrestling series (both of which are completely awful) and other similarly terrible games. Maybe the story modes from the WWE games could also work, as those can get pretty ridiculous as well (I recall one where your wrestler is randomly turned into a woman by a magic spell, and another where The Undertaker controls a bunch of zombie wrestlers). Of course, none of this would be as batshit insane as MDickie's games, but I think it could be a lot of fun to see all these shitty games and storylines.

A lot of editing would be required, of course, as no one probably wants to see a million video game wrestling matches in full.

I've been mulling over a wrestling megathread for a while, since I own a hell of a lot of them and could easily aquire a hell of a lot more. The tough part is figuring out where the hell to begin, since wrestling games have been around almost as long as videogames themselves. Plus it would be fun to commentate matches like regular matches, since a lot of the game commentary in these games is terrible.

Hmm, I think if this is going to happen it should be a full history of wrestling games kind of like the 20 Years of Sonic thread. So we'd start with M.U.S.C.L.E. and Pro Wrestling on the NES and work through to WWE'13 which would likely be out long before we got to it.

I don't watch wrestling or play many wrestling games, but I don't know if the games will be qualitatively different enough to warrant a huge restrospective on the game's own merits. Ways to maybe gimmick into a megathread:

* Some kind of history of wrestling (talk about Andre The Giant, Hulkamania, the Montreal ScrewJob, the Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior, The Rock, Chris Benoit, etc) interspersed with the commentary on the game for context. (I'm not a big wrestling guy, but I do like this kind of thing in LPs. Not sure if anyone else does.)

* Scripted commentary as ringside announcers that mocking video game tropes, glitches and other humorous imagery the games provide.

* Rather than all the games you can, just choose exemplary games of each generation and looking at what was changed/added.

* A humorous kayfabe LP feud.

Then again, I could be wrong and you might not need a gimmick to support it. It's just my $.02.

One video per game with 3 min quarters each time with the emphasis on how it has evolved over the years. I could see that working. I wouldn't watch it just because I don't like football video games but it is viable. doing a full season in each game is just asking for trouble.

These are the 2 key points I'm thinking about, basically for every set of games covering a year I'd do a big bit of written work on the notable stuff that happened that year. I'm a huge fan of wrestling history so it wouldn't be any great chore to put research in and show off how the business has changed as well as the evolution of the games.

No way in hell I'll do every game (I'm not going to do the whole Fire Pro series for example, awesome though that would be for me) but the key stuff like Super Wrestlemania, Wrestlefest etc would be covered. Remember this whole idea is coming from the request of wanting to see the story modes and stories that get told through these games. My thinking right now as far as the Road to Wrestlemania stuff in Smackdown vs Raw 2009-2011 is to put up the storylines to a thread vote and go through the one chosen. I won't be doing all 6 in each game for example.

I know everyone used to talk about Phoenix Wright being impossible to LP, but that's been proven doable. I have no idea how someone would LP a Layton game. Don't get me wrong, they're fun, but they're literally just a bunch of brain teasers held together with a little bit of plot.

The last attempt at a Layton LP seemed to be going at a good direction. Each update was split into two/three parts:

- The first update would cover all plot stuff and introduce up to 5-10 puzzles with their descriptions.
- The hint boxes would either be posted in link format or under spoiler tags within the first update, or (this is what the last LPer did) if the goons in the thread had a bit of trouble solving the puzzle, the LPer would drop hint boxes outside of the update posts.
- The second update post contained the answers to the puzzles. They're posted later during the week, and almost a day before the next plot-driven update. Rinse, repeat.

I've found that there was a healthy amount of goon participation in the last thread. It is do-able, but it demands a lot of close attention to the thread.

There was an LP of Professor Layton Curious Village, but it was abandoned. I'd like to see an LP of this game myself, as I was planning on doing it as a side LP but I've got my hands full already with Phoenix Wright.

To whoever's doing the Professor Layton games, please do it justice. I love these games.

I've considered doing a VLP of Professor Layton and the Curious Village in the same style as my old Puzzle Agent thread, where I solve some puzzles myself to give viewers a feel for how they work then leave others for the thread to solve. I sort of let it get buried under other work and ideas but I'm willing to give it a shot if it seems like a good idea at some point.

I enjoyed your Puzzle Agent LP, and I think that Layton would lend itself better to VLP than SSLP. I'd say go for it if/when you have time.

I'd love an LP of the terrible Frogware Sherlock Holmes games, especially Sherlock Holmes: the Awakened. Any format could work, though video might work best with decent (co-)commentary and good editing. Tehzim seems to have done one already, but it wasn't added to the LP Archive.

For anyone who hasn't heard of these games, here's a taste.

Still waiting for an Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits LP. It's my favorite in the series with some fantastic music and a story that's pretty good until it runs out of steam in the last quarter (Darc's story is amazing).

I also quite like the gameplay, despite how slow it can be at times. Preferably a vLP as there's some cool animations for characters in battles and in cutscenes.

Anyone ever thought of giving Homeworld 2 a shot? I realise RTS' aren't classically easy to make into LPs (as perhaps evidenced by the one LP of HW2 in the master list, abandoned), but it's such a fucking pretty game with very little going against it - interesting plot, cool mechanics, spaceships, explosions, exploding spaceships. Video LP with good editing (i.e. cutting out or speeding up the boring parts of missions) could be great.

It's on my list of potential things that might be done after I finish the Wing Commander series (this means "after Wing Commander IV", so "sometime next year") - most likely it'll be either HW2 or Syndicate Wars. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the characterisation of "very little going against it" (it's good, but certainly has flaws), but it's certainly a game that would make a pretty decent LP. I would have absolutely zero problems with somebody beating me to it, though.

Kaubocks @ Jul 13, 2012 03:51
I'd be in for playing some Magicka. The way I always figured a Magicka LP could work is if everyone had all the DLC for it. People in the thread could vote for which robes everyone wears between stages.

Then again the Magicka LP I envisioned in my head only had my roommate and I so maybe that'd be more manageable with two people rather than four.

Krysmphoenix @ Jul 13, 2012 03:55

I'd like to see someone take on Siren 1&2 again. There's a playthough of them both in the archives (along with Blood Curse) by Egomaniac, which are exemplary, but technology marches on and the video quality itself is sadly lacking. Considering the Siren games are very dark, it's often hard to make out what's going on onscreen half the time. A playthrough in a similar style (subtitled, 100%) with improved video quality would really do the games justice, I feel.

Solution: Have somebody who's really good at it play it live. IWBTG isn't hard, it's tedious. If you know what the game will throw at you, it becomes a matter of timing and keeping a cool head.

I'd like to request a new LP of Cave Story. I personally suck at the game, and deceased crab's LP is kinda old and outdated. Plus, it's a DC LP.

Someone should do Legend of Grimrock. It's criminal how few people have seen this game. I would do it myself, but I'm pre-occupied with a different LP and I'm having computer issues anyway.

It would probably be best as a SSLP or a Hybrid LP, but video works fine if you can handle that. Just be aware it's a 15-20 hour game with tons of cryptic puzzles, so I don't recommend doing it blind.

What's the problem with a game that takes less than an hour to complete? I don't think I clocked much more per Mega Man. Just cut the videos at sensible points into 5-10 minute chunks, allows for far more focused commentary anyway. Extra modes and challenges and stuff and it'd be a nice little thread.

Spiffo, Kat, and Nessa are doing a great job with their VLP of Grandia 3, but I'd really like to see a SSLP of it that goes more in depth into the game's fantastic combat system. Also, they've been incredibly patient with the game's terrible storyline and I think that a SSLP would be the better format for calling out the game's plot on it's flaws.

Also Shadow Hearts: From the New World is another game that has a great combat system but a lacking storyline that I think would be a really good LP.

MMOs are an odd beast I think, but I do know what you mean. However this would involve about 2 playthroughs a character, plus whether or not they "romance" their partners. I'm saying the time investment would be astronomical.

Some people may be hesitant still, too, because it is not as if the game is Free to Play, right? I mean, an LP is a long term investment as it is, and the people already paying for the game may not want to miss out time raiding or whatever they do to start a new character for a thread. The people not playing the game already probably have no interest in playing it. I'd say if it goes Free to Play, there's a much higher chance that someone will do it, but a Pay to Play model is pretty rough for someone to LP.

It's an open-world RPG for the PC somewhat in the vein of the Elder Scrolls or Gothic series, although with no fantasy elements. Apparently it's also got some light strategy and management elements to it, such as recruiting a band of followers and so on, and the combat's supposed to be interesting.

You don't need to claim an LP. Just do it and it'll get removed from the list. Otherwise, it'll just stay there.

I know seorin did a hybrid LP of the first King's Field, but it was on waffleimages, and a lot of screens are gone. I really enjoyed Squint's LP of Demon's Souls, and it'd be great if someone did a similar LP for From Software's earlier titles.

King's Field IV would be interesting as well. Plus, I'd like to see how assholish it gets before I try it again.

Every once in a while I see an LSD: Dream Simulator test post in the sandcastle but as far as I know nobody's ever actually gone ahead and done it. Would be cool to see someone try and tackle such an unusual and surreal game. I think the idea thing would be to do it in a similar style to that Yume Nikki LP that got done a while back.

Ummmm, I'm pretty sure that someone did do it as I pointed out to the guy in the Sandcastle. But I do agree it could definitely be interesting to see an updated LP of it, though the randomization of the game could indeed be trouble for someone attempting to approach it like a normal game.

I'd love to see a VLP of Journey. (PS3) It really is a beautiful, uplifting and intriguing game, and everyone who has the opportunity should definitely play it... but not everyone has the opportunity.

Probably go the minimal commentary route, like the Flower LP did. The game speaks well for itself and anything that needs to be pointed out can go in the thread.

This seems as good a place as any in the forums:

I'd like to request an LP of Solium Infernum, a multiplayer game from Cryptic Comet.

It's a rather obscure game, and finding a game is bloody hard. I was planning on making an LP, to get people interested in hosting games, a la Dominions 3. Problem is this is a game that begs to be seen in multiplayer, because lack of information is basic to gameplay.

I'll try making a test post in the Sandcastle tomorrow to see if anyone is interested, otherwise I'll try to LP a game played in the Cryptic Comet forums, but those are few and far in between, so it could take a while.

I'd like to see a Zeno Clash LP, because I'm pretty bad at it and I'd like someone to show it off because it's pretty interesting and weird as all hell.
The Xbox version apparently has some additional content, so maybe anyone interested in doing an LP of this game should do that version.

AMReese @ Jul 26, 2012 08:39
I'd like to see someone like SynthOrange or whatever do Prince Maker, which is, as you can tell by the name, pretty much a male version of Princess Maker.

The translation was completed back at the end of May, but the game itself came out in China in 2006. From what I've heard, it's just a fan-made game based on Princess Maker. If anyone's curious (since it's a free game), check out this site:

http://princemakerproject.wordpress.com/

I'd highly appreciate someone doing an LP of it, though. There are guides in it that help you towards the ultimate ending, too, so there's no need to worry about not being able to show off the game since it's originally Chinese.

I would love to see stuff for the Double Dragon games (mega-thread, maybe?), especially the more true-to-arcade versions.

First one requires a vLP, I don't have the hardware but Declan McManus might attempt it at some point, Suiko 3 is being done by TWD, I don't have the system for SPP and I don't like Suiko V. I am, however, doing Treasure of the Rudras now.

Anyway, someone should do another KOTOR2 LP now that the Sith Restored content mod is finished, completing the game the way it was meant to be.

Admiral H. Curtiss @ Jul 28, 2012 16:28
Dolphin thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...hreadid=3423255

That said, I don't think Dolphin is a good choice when frame-accurate audio sync is required. I suppose it's worth a shot but Dolphin does some interesting audio things to keep performance up and make sure that audio doesn't sound weird when the game is running slower or faster than it technically should be on console.

It's probably better to get a capture card and just use actual hardware.

HelloWinter @ Jul 28, 2012 16:53
Yeah, if there is a possibility of de-synching involved, then it's really risky. I've tried making a video LP of Shirugui mode (1 HP mode) of Wii's Muramasa: The Demon Blade with Dolphin before I got involved with my current LP. I've tried my best to capture it with Fraps, but my computer is pretty retarded spec-wise, so there was an inevitable lag and de-synching in the captured video. Having a good computer is really recommended so that this doesn't happen if you plan on capturing from Dolphin, especially for video LP's.

Anyway, Rhythm Heaven is a pretty short and sweet game. If anyone has played it before, or even if it's your first time through it, you'll enjoy LPing Rhythm Heaven a lot. It's amazingly quirky.

Xaiter has expressed interest in this, and we might collab on it.

The Dreamcast one SGF did was pretty much all original material. The PS2 game I think is half original, half adaptation, and unrelated to the DC one, so no danger of overlap there.

Hell, just about any of Nifflas' games would probably make an awesomely chill LP. That guy makes some wonderfully atmospheric games.

I'd love to see a LP of a game called Millenia: Altered Destinies, a PC game from 1995 by Take2 games - remember playing it when I was at university and it had great gameplay for its time. Best description i've seen is a god/strategy game, and it has lots of choices to allow voting.

Home of the Underdogs posted:

A highly innovative strategy/adventure game that was sadly ignored, Millenia combines intriguing plot with unique strategic elements. Your task is to restore the galaxy's equilibrium by "seeding" 4 alien races in the environment suitabled for them. You must then journey through both space and time to aid the races in their evolution. This unique concept and novel plot that unfolds graduallly is marred only by frustrating combats and possible dead ends. Highly recommended to those looking for something a little different from an average game and don't mind restoring a lot (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I remember thinking a while back on how a multiplayer Frozen Synapse match could be presented.

You could get both players talking to each other on Skype, then when it comes down to gameplay they'd mute themselves from each other. Each player would record their own POV and explain the decisions they're making-- why they're moving this unit there, where they think the enemy is (I usually play Dark modes where you can only see enemy units if one of your units can see them), etc. Then after both players have made their turns, hop back onto Skype together and watch the result. The video would be presented as Player 1 POV, Player 2 POV, result, Player 1 POV, Player 2 POV, etc. until the round ends.

At least, that's how I'd like to see it done.

Oh lord, it's Syndicate but with green shit everywhere. Color me interested. I'll try it out when my new PC arrives, if no one wants it.

Pretty sure it's whatever size server you want to run! I've a few with 64 players.

So is the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney LP, which has been going on since June. I'm still not quite sure if I'll have the time to tackle the whole trilogy, but the first game is going well underway.

To be fair guys, the list hasn't been updated for more than a month. I'm sure that there's a huge grocery list to edit into and out of the list, so please be patient.

*chuckles* make that Syndicate, but with less plot, a pistol that can easily miss from 5 feet away... it's a terribad game, and, if you really are interested, I'll happily co-commentate. I'm just warning you beforehand, Mezurya, 'cos you're a nice guy.

I'm secretly a terrible person! I already bought the game (it was only like a dollar) and my PC should come within the week, so I should be up for it soon once I get my whole setup sorted. How would you want it to go down? Me going in blind and you knowing what to do, or do you want me to do a runthrough before doing the LP?

It's a PC game so I wouldn't be able to do a two person commentary live (or at least well), so if we go with that it would be a bit hard to do the first option.

I'd like to request a LP of Superbrothers: sword and sorcery, a indie adventure game with retro style graphics available on Steam.

That's okay, I have been taught secrets of co-commentary from the Far West, and will quite happily pass them on. Give us a skype message or whatnot (jaythed) or yak at us on Steam (same username as SA), and we'll sort something out. Haven't gotten too far in the game yet myself, but I'll quite happily play through first to get that dynamic if you want!

You know what, the recently started lp of Total Annihilation reminded me. I want to see an lp of Metal Fatigue. It's an RTS that revolves around the use of Combots. Giant mechs that can be made with a variety of parts. There's a story to it as well I think. I might do it myself at some point in the future if I can scrounge up my old discs, but I'd rather someone else got to it first.

No, but sometimes one will wind up in one of the "Bargain Basement" or "Shitty Console Game" threads that pop up every now and then.

The main problem is that there's so damn many and they can come out any damn time. There's a Jumanji and Home Alone game for the *PS2*
Meanwhile almost every single Superhero Movie has had a tie-in game, with their game generally winding up being the opposite of the movie. Thor, Cap, 2008 Hulk, and the Iron Man games were all ass, yet the game for Wolverine Origins was allowed to be as gore-filled as it wanted, and managed to be rather decent.

Then again, someone thought it was a good idea to to make a game out of Beastly of all things

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City has been out for a few months, and no one has said they want to LP it. I actually kind of do some time soon, and I'm willing to show off all the characters and stuff. I have it on Xbox 360, and I'd like two or three other people to join in (I can probably get my buddy to join if there's an empty spot).

I dunno if this is a weird place to ask for things like that (if it is please point me somewhere else and I'll delete this), but I think it would be better if it wasn't just me and one other dude. It may not be right away since I'm probably gonna do that Scorpion Disfigured thing first.

You know what I want to see? A video LP of Herc's Adventures for the Saturn or the PS1, preferably a two-player LP. It was kind of a fun game, with some funny, cartoony humor.

I remember playing it back when Disney's Hercules was coming out, thinking it had something to do with it (sort of like how I thought Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer had something to do with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies). I didn't regret playing it, and I'm sure whoever LPs it (I wouldn't mind a blind LP of it) will like it, too.

Also, Courier Crisis would be interesting to watch. All I remember is flying through the air, landing spread-eagled on my bike, being thrown from it and feeling the pain that must be going through that dude's groin.

The only problems I had with that dude were..

A) Kinda creepy that he always plays and role-plays a female character even though he's a dude (which I've always found weird no matter what people tell me, so you might be fine with it)

B) There are long stretches where he doesn't say anything at all and nothing's happening on-screen

and C) His voice makes me want to fall asleep. I think that's more with how calm and measured it is, sort of like Research Indicates's voice is.

Well, Quarex, the guy who drummed up a bunch of support for Wasteland 2 with his thread in the general games forums was planning on doing a wasteland LP.

Atelier Rorona => Atelier Totori => Atelier Meruru

Agarest: Generations of War => Record of Agarest War: Zero => Record of Agarest 2

Hyperdimension Neptunia => Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 => Hyperdimension Neptunia V (the latter one should come out by the time first two would've been done)

It's kinda sad that there are three games already in each of these JRPG PS3 series but nobody here attempted LP of them yet. I have all of them (except Neptunia V) but dropped first games from each series due to boring gameplay. Only recently managed to slog through Rorona on second try and now I'm playing Totori and can't put it down as it's much more addictive than the 1st game. I heard both Agarest and Neptunia also improve in their later installments.

Anyway, I wish somebody tried making LP of at least one of these series in the foreseeable future.

Well I think Hyperdimension has been brought up before but enough people said it was too awful to really try LP'ing (and really the thought of female personifications of game consoles to fight piracy does indeed sound painfully stupid). The other ones...whose to say why they haven't been LP'ed but I wholeheartedly endorse someone doing them as I have no idea what they involve.

I think the main reason no one's done the HDN games is because they are - and let's not mess about here - Anime As Fuck. And round here, that's tantamount to starting a Ban Me thread.

If it's not stepping on anyone's toes (as in, someone already really wants to do these games), I'd really enjoy LP'ing these games. I've played through Rorona 20 or so times, Totori 11 times, and Meruru 11 times and accomplished just about everything there is to do in each game, so I think I could show off just about everything about these games well.

I'll be going back to college in a couple weeks, and knowing what my schedule is will be a big help in a hypothetical LP. So if no one has any plans to do these games by then, I could make a test post for Rorona and go from there.

Stelas @ Aug 13, 2012 22:01
It'd be great to see an Atelier PS3 thread, though you could probably drop Atelier Rorona or at least cover it really quickly, if only because it's not very interesting in terms of actual gameplay.

The other two would probably get you banned pretty hard unless you handled them very, very carefully or were Feinne, who somehow managed to get away with Ar Tonelico: Qoga.

Sylphid @ Aug 13, 2012 22:22
Well, I was thinking of doing a screenshot LP for all three games. That way I could control for whenever interesting stuff happens, cut out the fat, and in general just streamline the minutia that goes along with actually playing the games. Like a lot of JRPGs, they're not terribly interesting to actually watch a video of them being played a lot of the time.

But yeah, a megathread with three distinct sections for each game would likely be the most efficient. It would be a considerable time investment, but I could handle it.

Given that Seorin got away with doing Fate/Stay Night, I don't think there's anything particularly banworthy about ATQ. Basically, the terrible secret of the LP Subforum is that you can get away with questionable shit in direct proportion to your proven ability to make it entertaining. People wanted to see Feinne do ATQ because he'd done an excellent job of AT1 and AT2. Similarly, anybody who makes a good enough job of the first game will raise few eyebrows when they continue the story.

Also, these Atelier games all have B/Teen/12 ratings, whereas Qoga got C/M ratings (and still 12, somehow).

Brainamp @ Aug 13, 2012 22:55
Well there was also the Princess Maker 2 thread, which, while a decent read, had quite a few creeps in it. It can be the Lper, but it also depends on who happens to be following. Dangan Ronpa also had some creeps.

It would have been great as I almost lost hope for any of these series to appear as LP. Despite it being the only series where I made an actual progress I missed some endings (some of which couldn't find even on youtube or anywhere else) so I'd definitely read it.

Stelas posted:

I've played through 1.5 generations (out of 5 in the first game) and I'd say it's not worse than already done here Ar Tonelico series. Agarest promotion made me think it'd be filled with all sorts of ecchi/fanservice material but it turned out to be far tamer than I imagined. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same case with Neptunia.

I'd be interested in seeing an LP of Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PSP). The plot was interesting, but the gameplay was so dry and the loading times so long I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It seems perfect for an LP. Preferably the PSP version for the non-fan translation.

And that reminded me I still have to finish SlasherDynamo's LP.

Do not tell anyone I said this but I am planning to do it in the not too far future. I am surprised no one has done it yet, because it runs down the checklist of LP promise quite nicely: black sheep in a great franchise, big change in style from previous titles, terrible bugs and gameplay, mockable script and characters, etc.

Also, yes, do finish Slasher Dynamo's LP of FM3, it is great.

It's been said before that it will only be taken off the list when the LP's actually finished, since otherwise it might be abandoned or halted to the point where anyone else could still do it.

Binary Domain needs an LP so badly. It's a great game, with actually interesting boss fights for once.

Personally, I'd love to see Skippy Granola do it. He sold me on Bulletstorm and I think he could do this justice.

Also Velvet Assassin, Dead Space 2, Dynamite Heady, and Siren 1/2 (plus the PS3 remake) have all been done.

I was the one who asked for Siren 1&2 and that's because the one in the archives has aged really badly, video-wise. I wouldn't ask normally, but the game's really dark and with the low video quality, it makes things near-impossible to follow at times.

I'd like to put in a request for a odd little game for the Wii, it's called Deadly Creatures and it looks rather interesting.

You're in a desert in a tiny critter's point of view and it's pretty cool although if you are arachnophobic it might be a bit too much since there are a lot of spiders and scorpions in this game, most of them you CONSUME FOR POWER and techniques used are not unsimilar to God of War's fighting with QTE's for extra badassedness.

I've been hearing a lot about Falcon 4.0's incredibly detailed dynamic campaign. On top of seeing what a lot of people put forward as an expectional flight sim, it would be a fun thread to follow an unscripted, large scale, real time campaign on all fronts and see how it all plays out.

I think that'd make a pretty awesome LP.

I'd like to request a Darklands LP. It's based on middle ages Germany, with a very original approach to fantasy tropes (very low magic setting, you get alchemists that use potions and priest who call on saints instead of the typical mage and priest). The combat system is interesting and the character creator is one of the best I have seen.

Somebody with good writing skills (the reason why I don't do it myself) needed, as it is really open ended, with little plot.

I think if you did it right you could do both games at once, since I believe there weren't a whole lot of changes beyond a handful made between vanilla DR2 and Off the Record. Although I haven't played OTR myself, since I heard it was a waste if you had already gone through DR2.

Every cutscene is different (although lazily enough the animations are all the same), the final section of the game is different, different plot. Buncha stuff like that might make it a handful to show off both at once. If anything, do DR2 first, then when that LP is finished show off OTR.

OTR is worth having, really. Just not so much if you already own the main game. I have both, myself.

Yeah, I like it more than vanilla DR2, but considering the entire thing is a huge in-joke/parody of DR2 as a whole, it'd be better suited to bonuses since it doesn't add overly-much gameplay-wise.

Now that it's been ported to PC (be careful, Ubisoft sucks at ports), someone should try out an LP of I AM Alive. It's a fairly short game, and a very flawed one. If you haven't played it, imagine Uncharted, but with a way too strict stamina meter, muddy graphics, and no ending (the game just stops at one point).

It's still a somewhat enjoyable game, but it's pretty bad.

You'd be surprised: most people - myself included - wrote it off as another generic brown military-themed cover shooter (go read the thread in Games - or at least watch the trailers - and see how many others thought the same thing). When I found out what it was actually about, I played it for myself and was blown away. Now it's got my vote for the best game I've played all year. Considering it's rapidly headed towards cult status, keeping the reveals from the unwary would be the best way to handle it, I think.

That really does depend on what type of game it is, and if the fact that it's Blind would make it more enjoyable to watch. More often than not, blind runs are a bad idea. They can be a bit boring and it can be frustrating for viewers to see someone wander around for hours trying to find something simple.

Plus if it's an RPG (I don't know anything about the game, just guessing), you might wanna give it a run through so you know where stuff is and can show everything off. If it's just a straight forward linear game, then I dunno, it might be alright to do.

It is an RPG, but as far as I know there are no bonus bosses or secret dungeons or anything like that. The reason I'm considering going blind is because the game is basically one big glitch, and I think it will be funnier if I don't know what to expect or how the game's going to freak out next.

Just to give you an idea, there's one point where you have to save right as a cutscene ends. Don't do it and you're fucked. Time it a millisecond off and you're fucked. Time it perfectly, ten percent of the time the game gives you the middle finger and you're fucked anyway.

Just saying, but if you want to reliably recreate the bug and other such stuff, play through the game before hand. You can do live commentary if you really want you reactions known, but blind runs tend not to work out for lps.

With the abandonment (long-term hiatus?) of the Xenoblade LP, I'd like to put in a formal request for a VLP, possibly hybrid, of Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. The sidequests are probably best kept to either a heavily edited and sped up video, or a screenshot format.

I think an LP work best with a person who's clearly played the game before and a co-commentator who preferably is going in blind. The plot isn't earth-shattering but it does a good job at playing with your expectations of JRPG tropes and I'd love to see someone's reactions along the way.

Hoping that someone out there has some interest in doing Dead Island. The game is getting on now and there are not even any decent LPs on Youtoobs for it, just blind runs. I think it could be a great informative LP if someone had the knowledge and love of the game.

I'd like to second this request; I would honestly consider giving it a go myself if I had any clue how to make a VLP. (If I ever get involved in one, it's liable to be as co-commentator. (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-v.gif))

It deserves at least two players, though.

Definitely.

Dead Island doesn't really have enough to it to support an informative run: the plot's pretty weak and by the time you get through the first couple locations you've seen a lot of what the game mechanics have to offer. Something like Jade Star's Borderlands LP would probably work better - reasonably complete four player co-op with a lot of goofing off added in.

The plot is hilariously thin. You just reach a certain point in the game, then apparently your characters start talking about shit and you have to save the day. I actually liked the game a bit, and I have both the PC and 360 versions. I'd be up for it if there's some free space.

I highly recommend the PC version, for this obvious reason:

The plot is worth watching if only for how hilariously awful the cutscenes are, though. Everyone talks really tough but no-one actually ever makes any sense. I'd be up for it as well, though, game is fun.

I was actually considering just taking on Techland's games when I finally get to finishing Call of Juarez, but at my rate that may never happen, so I would like to have someone do an LP of this too.

Ben Kasack @ Sep 20, 2012 01:48
Might as well jump on the Dead Island bandwagon. I'm curious as to how this would be LP'ed, but I think I would have to go with the previous statement of do it in the same fashion as Jade's Boarderlands LP.

I would be more than willing to submit myself to be a player/commentator for the game, but I can't record worth a damn so I would only be a voice/wildly flailing dude.

It ain't an lp, but there is Freeman's Mind. It is in no way informational, but you get to see how the game looks and plays and it's pretty funny.

Freeman's Mind is hilarious, but I wouldn't say it shows how the game plays. The guy is using godmode and every gun is a one-hit kill, and at least once he bypasses a large section of the game by doing a pull-up (likely he used no-clip, but I don't know exactly how he did it). Somebody should do a proper LP at some point.

Warzone is indeed an awsesome game and it has a decent storyline too! Would require a fair amount of editing down the missions however, as some are serisouly long.

I hope to see 100% Tales of the Abyss LP done here in some foreseeable future. To me it's the best Tales game due to its good cast of characters and excellent interactions between them in dialogues/skits (Jade remains to be my favorite party member character in any JRPG). It feels bad to know that it remains to be one of the few Tales games that dont' have proper Let's Play here.

Undub version could be a plus in this case (if it's permitted at all), since there are 500+ voiced skits which are text only in vanilla English release.

Kaboom Dragoon @ Sep 27, 2012 15:17
An undub would be pointless for several reasons, first and foremost because VLPs of RPGs are seldom a good idea, but also because if the skits are only voiced in Japanese, what's the point? It doesn't add anything screencaps wouldn't convey (unless you're one of those GRORIOUS NIPPON (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/smilies/9/e/japan.001.gif) weeaboos).

I didn't mean for it to be VLP. The current Tales of Vesperia LP has skits available both in transcribed form and in video format for those who want to hear voice actors' work. But of course if someone would start LPing vanilla English version of ToTA then he/she can just omit videos of skits as they wouldn't add anything. It's just some of the skits work better with voice acting, especially amusing ones.

Ugh, I meant as in omit skit videos because LPer would just transcribe skit dialogue in the post. Videos of skits are pointless in the standard English version since they aren't voiced there. And Undub version has Japanese voice acting in skits and English text.

But whatever, if someone decides to make ToTA's LP it would be his/her call anyway. I would be glad in any case.

Very limited animation based on what I know of Tales skits. Certainly nothing that a screenshot set and transcription wouldn't suffer from losing. Fuck I don't like the skits generally but since they normally add interesting plot things I endure them.

Far Cry 2 has already been requested, but I'd like to add a suggestion, for anyone who might be interested in taking it up.

A lot of Far Cry 2's gameplay is very "same-y", the story is almost non-existent. The real fun is from how choosing different weapon loadouts changes your playstyle dramatically. I think it should be done with heavy reader participation. Specifically, the readers should choose the weapons you'll use in the next mission/video, and you must use each of them at least once.

The one problem I can see is that you'd need video to really show the game off but it tends to be slow paced, but for being almost a decade old the game is still gorgeous and stylish. I'd be tempted to do it myself but I don't see myself having the time to even play it any time soon.

Can someone LP the new X-COM?

I am terrible at that game, and would much rather watch someone who is much less terrible play it.

The game is fantastic and I've been playing it non-stop the past few days, but it's only been out for like half a week. You'd have to wait a long while to see that LP.

(Also if you keep getting fucked over by countries leaving the council, make a new game and focus on building more satellites. It lowers the terror level by two and makes it so you get more missions in that area. Plus, loads of money.)

You're actually kinda right. X-Com are the old ones, and XCom (no hyphen) is the new one. Go ahead and type it in the search bar, you'll get different shit.

Asking youtubers to respect the whole three month thing is like trying to hold back an unstoppable object. I recall one retsuprae of a guy who ran back home after getting Mirror's Edge on its release day to so he could lp it first or something like that.

I've seen people in the stream thread stream brand new games before, it's not really enforced all that much because hey it's a stream, it's kind of on a different level than a full LP. Most people don't even finish games on stream.

I'd like to request an LP of Darklands, and RPG set in Germany in the 15th century.

It has a very interesting character creation system, there is no magic (but there is alchemy) and no priest spells (you can pray to an appropriate saint which may or may not help you in the situation you are in, though). It's pretty much a sandbox game with paper thin plot, which is why I don't do it myself. You'd have to be good at writing to keep the readers interested after a few updates.

If someone came up with their own narrative about, say, some time-appropriate European medieval legend, like the Golem, and built the gameplay around it, it could be the best LP ever.

Just faffing around in the game: The worst LP ever.

Far Cry 2 has already been requested, but I'd like to add a suggestion, for anyone who might be interested in taking it up.

A lot of Far Cry 2's gameplay is very "same-y", the story is almost non-existent. The real fun is from how choosing different weapon loadouts changes your playstyle dramatically. I think it should be done with heavy reader participation. Specifically, the readers should choose the weapons you'll use in the next mission/video, and you must use each of them at least once.

I'm going to take this up as my first LP. Keep an eye on the sandcastle thread.

This is one of those questions that is really tricky to answer before seeing the results. Normally the sub-forum advises against semi-wacky gimmicks, but if you think you can pull it off and want to do it, then why not? Just be prepared to have the Sandcastle rip it to pieces if it ends up too gimmicky or your scared co-commentator gets loud.

I'd say you could do a minimum of two playthroughs of it, violent and none, but yeah there is a shit-ton of variance with those two options alone.

The guy who did the Settlers 7 VLP a while ago is doing an XCOM LP that's not terrible. (The only non-terrible one I've found, of course, but that's Youtube for you.) He's got a tendency to read EVERY BIT of text that shows up, which bugs me a lot; but at least he knows when to talk, and when to shut up and let the game speak for itself. I don't know if linking to his LP would be considered a violation of the three month rule, so I'll let you dig up the Youtube link(s) for yourself if you want to -- shouldn't be hard.

The sentiment you get from most people who've played it though is that it's just repeated fetch quests and that it's not as creepy as the cinematics make it out to be. I did plan on doing it at some point but I've got a few other things I'd rather LP first.

I just need to buy one of those external line-in to USB sound cards to get around my static issue when recording through RemoteJoyLite and I can get recording again. It's really frustrating, I have like 2/5ths of the game fully completed in SSLP format. Not a really huge problem to overcome, but work and time and budget kind of got in the way. In the meantime I've been gathering OST stuff, manga, and recording the PC-98 version.

I would really like to see an LP of Age of Empires and/or Age of Empires II. According to the Master List there was an abandoned AoE2 LP attempted in 2008; I looked at it and the guy is banned, and he basically wanted people to tell him what his actions should be. That was dumb. (Link here if you have archives.)

Age of Empires one and two were a big part of my childhood. I spent a lot of time at my best friend's house playing LAN games with her against her brother. There are a lot of civilizations and they each have decent diversity. Everything is pretty interesting. The campaigns are fun, and I'd just like to see someone do a single player run of the campaigns of one or the other (or both).

Nothing fancy, screenshots are probably best. I'd just like to see an informative and funny LP of one or both games.

On Sundays, videos of the games will be posted with 2 commentators (a play-by-play guy and color guy). There will be minimum retries to keep an authentic feeling of not knowing if they'll win.

Oh, you can plug in a male to male audio cable from the PSP into the computer. It's just that for some computers you get this kind of static-y feedback when doing this, or at least that's what was explained to me in the Sandcastle awhile back. All the videos I recorded had a fuzzy static that I couldn't tune out or noise remove reliably. And it was suggested that an external sound card could fix that. You could give it a try yourself and see if it happens, but I have to shell out 20 some odd dollars for one of those tiny USB sound cards.

As near as I can tell the static is because of RemoteJoyLite going crazy. Try recording the audio without the USB cable plugged in to your PSP and you'll see what I mean.

Here's a list

Mizzurna Falls for the Playstaion. Screenshot but video for cut scenes.

It is an open world adventure game. Many look at it as the predecessor for both Shenmue and Deadly Premonition.

Here is the overview of the story and game play from the Giant Bomb Wiki

quote:

Mizzurna Falls, Colorado.

At 6:13 am, on the 25th December, the body of Kathy Flannery is found in the woods surrounding the town, covered in blood, with what look to be injuries made by a large animal; possibly a bear. Less than an hour later, the mother of Emma Lowland, daughter of the Mayor, and Kathy's classmate, calls the police to report her daughter missing. Separate investigations begin, but the state police have suspicions that both cases may in fact be linked.

Matthew Williams, a friend of Emma's and classmate of both girls, begins his own investigation into the mystery.

The game has a day/night cycle, which influences where you can go and who you can talk to at any given point during play. The residents of Mizzurna Falls will go about their business, regardless of player input. Stores will open and close, NPC will move from their jobs to their homes, and vice versa, the staff at the hospital will allow visitors during the day, but not at night, and so on.

As Matthew, the player is free to roam almost the entirety of the play area from the outset. Matthew's preferred mode of transport, a VW Beetle, can be driven anywhere on the map, providing the player remembers to periodically refuel at the local gas station.


The problem with let's playing the game is that it was only released in Japan so the Let's Player has to understand Japanese and be able to translate the dialogue into English.

Sonic Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood for the DS. Screenshot. Video for cut scenes and boss fights.

I heard this game was mediocre and had no interest in it. Than I saw some game play and hear the awful soundtrack and I knew I did not want to play it. I kind of want to have a let's play of the game to experience the train wreck without playing the game myself if that makes any sense. Think Sonic 2006.

Tails Adventure for game gear/ (Gamecube on sonic Gems collection and Sonic DX). Video.

I saw some of the game on Twenty Years of Sonic LP that the Runbutton Podcast guys did and want a more in-depth LP of the game. Also apparently ElPottoGrande/Ian Flynn the guy who writes the Sonic comic for Archie loves the game so it would be interesting to get some input from him in that thread.

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble PSP. Screenshot or Video.

Wacky Japanese beat em up game. Combat looks repetitive but has a lot of style akin to River City Ransom. Also I can't find good quality video of the game on Youtube. I know Youtube LPs are generally horrible but at least they can get the sound right.

Zenonia 1 Through 4 IOS. Screenshot.
I played Zenonia 1 on my 3DS and did not like it. It had repetitive combat and some of the worst localization I have seen. The combat gets better with each entry of the series but the localization is always bad. Easy for Goons to mock.

The problem with let's playing the game is that it was only released in Japan so the Let's Player has to understand Japanese and be able to translate the dialogue into English.
I doubt I can LP this, although if someone is interested but lacks the language skills, I'd be willing to help with the J>E part.

Well I could try emulating it, though I might have to stream it to you to get translation for what's going on unless there is some script to find to go off of. I'd be interesting in doing it though.

I've actually been working on this one for a while. In fact, I've got most of a first update hammered out, and intended to have a test post up by Halloween but that's not gonna happen due to school interference, general laziness, and an entire hard drive deciding to crap out on me (does the LP curse apply when the LP hasn't started yet?). Regardless, I'm working on it. The only real problem is that the very few cutscenes basically refuse to record right, so I'm trying to figure out whether I'm gonna find a workaround (and what said workaround is) or just say "Fuck it" and make everyone watch some subpar video (because they're like 30 seconds, tops).

The game is definitely... something. I have words to spare on the many mistakes that went into the game and how it could have almost been good.

e: There's also the issue of transcribing the text. Because it is a Bioware game and Bioware just loves them some (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-words.gif). for christ's sake why would you put dialogue trees in a Sonic game damn

I found what looks like a script (in Japanese); it's almost complete, save for a few misencoded lines toward the end of the file. Trouble is, it would take me about a month and a half to translate it, and that's barring any actual paid translation work that might come my way (and which would take priority).

I know this was done as a bonus LP in Cybershell's Sonic thread, but for some reason it's not listed in the archive page for that thread. Did it get removed or something?

I played this for quite a while recently and I'd have to say that this would need to be a screenshot LP. Fights are very repetitive and short while the areas are pretty linear and small. Dialogue can last quite a bit, too.

Still, I'd definitely like to see an LP of this game sometime. I wanted to do one myself but the game kept freezing on me randomly in area transitions.

Another problem is that there seems to be a truckton of content in Kenka Bancho, but like almost no real walkthroughs or wikis on how to get all of it. I picked it up when Atlus put it on sale, dropped like 20 hours into it, and I still have no idea how to reach a vast amount of story and side quest content.

I could really use a VLP of Alice Madness Returns. It looks fascinating but I've heard the game play gets kind of iffy so I don't want to do it myself. Subs or voice is fine as long as you don't babble endlessly through it. Gosh I hate Youtubers.

I've seen a youtube LP of it that looked promising but ended early, and the only other one I saw had the LPer babbling over the cutscenes and generally being obnoxious and horrible. Seriously, I want to see a good LP of this game, because I love the show and game's style.

The Campaign For North Africa is a board game from 1979 that attempts to be the most realistic and in-depth war game ever made. This is the board:

(img http://lpix.org/912199/pic318628_lg.jpg)

(img http://lpix.org/912200/pic1347097_lg.jpg)

The game involves two teams of five players with an estimated playtime of 60,000 minutes, or twenty-five 40-hour work weeks. The rulebook states that "its play requires not only a lot of attention to logistics, but, if you will, a logistically sound methodology", and two of the players on each side exist solely to orchestrate resource management and distribution. Everything from fuel evaporation to how much water is used for the Italian side to make pasta needs to be maintained, and you not only need to keep track of each bullet troops fire, but also provide frequent trucks of ammunition and keep those trucks fueled.

This is a picture of somebody playing this game:

(img http://lpix.org/912202/pic309938_md.jpg)

I wouldn't expect or want an actual thorough LP of this; I doubt it's ever been played in its entirety due to how rare it is that someone who'd play it would have nine (willing) friends. That said, I think a quick Let's Fail, where a group of people try to last more than a week, would fulfill my schadenfreude quota for the next ten years.

It's worth noting that their LP of it was more or less the Astronauts just having fun with the game. Maxwell Adams skipped over almost every cutscene and just generally ignored the plot altogether.

Not that it's not entertaining, of course, but there's definitely room for a Vice City LP that takes a different approach.

Oh hey, I was intending on doing an informative LP of Vice City a little while back, but got a bit discouraged because I was getting some complaints about the video quality/compression on the Sandcastle. If I can be forgiven for having shitty internet and needing to keep my filesizes low for the sake of sanity, though, I'll go right ahead and make a proper start on that.

EDIT: Mr. Lizard Wizard advised me to provide some examples, so here's the two videos from my test post on the sandcastle. The first one doesn't have commentary since it's almost all cutscenes, and the second one contains some basic commentary. I still have to get the hang of things but that's what I had in mind.

I don't think Sandy really touched NC, to be honest. We got hot pretty hard here in NY, to the point that public transportation has been closed for 3 days now, and from what I hear NJ and PA are not too much better, but Sandy hit the coast far north of him. I would say Niggurath is right with pure technical issues.

Sandy was about 200 miles off the coast. Which matters fuck all because the ocean doesn't muck about when a storm starts churning it up.

I remember Roosevelt or someone mentioning in one his videos that he didn't want to do Vice City because the Astronauts were doing it, but I may be confusing that with something else he said.

Anyway, I wish I knew. His San Andreas LP is probably my single favorite LP ever. He was doing GTAIV and a Harry Potter game or two after San Andreas, but I don't know what came of either of those. I'd love to see Roosevelt, CherryDoom, Rock Tumbler, and Missile Waster getting back together to do another San Andreas-style LP.

He has streamed gta IV every now and then after hard drive crashes and what not. At this point, I would not bet on him ever completing the game. He will forever be stuck in a perpetual loop of playing a game he doesn't even like.

I was considering this for I think it was DW5:E, but then I realized I lost my copy of the game. Plus it'd be on the PS2 with my non-HD capture card so it wouldn't look that great.

But yes, someone should do it, although I think I'd prefer a narrative take on the Empires game (which isn't to say you can't allow interactivity). But please for the love of god make it an SSLP. It's fun to run around and beat up hundreds of people at once, but the hundredth time you do it gets a little boring. I can only imagine it'll be worse watching someone else.

Whoever takes this up, mind that Microsoft updated their content usage rules earlier in the year, so you'll need to follow their rules or risk getting your videos taken down. The especially relevant parts:

If you share your Items with others, then you must include the following notice about the Game Content. You can put it in a README file, or on the web page from where it's downloaded, or anywhere else that makes sense so long as anyone who sees your Item will easily find this notice.

For videos that try to add to the fiction or canon of the franchise universe, please put it at the beginning of your video for at least five seconds. For all other videos, please put it at the end of your video for at least five seconds. Burying the notice, for example, deep in a web page in small print that is hard to find, does not comply.

For example, if you post your video on Youtube or Vimeo and there happens to be an advertisement next to it, then as long as you don't get paid for that advertisement, the fact that there is an advertisement on the page doesn't break these Rules. But enrolling in the Youtube partner program (or other similar programs), where you are entering into an agreement to get paid, is not allowed.

If we don't let you know, you need permission from a third party, especially for games with licensed music. But we'll confirm right here that the music from Halo 3 is available for your use in non-profit ventures thanks to an arrangement with O'Donnell/Salvatori, Inc., composers of this iconic theme.

Shouldn't really affect anyone on here, just don't monetise your videos and add the notice to the end of the video and you should be fine.

I always thought a cool idea for an LP would be to play through Destiny Mode in DW5: Xtreme Legends (basically a career mode, where you start as a generic create-a-character with two attacks and work your way up to being a badass) a few times, once for each kingdom, then recreate the characters in Empires and conquer China with them. The Destiny Mode stages should be interesting enough to be videos, and it'd probably be more watchable than your typical Dynasty Warriors fare just for the novelty value of killing a bunch of Chinese dudes as goon-created warrior SSJ69CLOUD.

I would just like to see that series without needing archives for two of the games..

Hey I found some obscure games that only released in Japan that I can find very little info of.
Cybernetic Empire. Playstation. Either screenshot or video depending on which is more appropriate.
I only saw the opening and some screen shots of the game and very little else.
Here is the opening
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiyJQALy0PU

I kind of want to find out more but there is not a lot of info to go on.

The only other thing I know about this game it was made by Wolf Team the guys responsible for Earnest Evans, Time Gal, and Road Avenger so it might at least be funny. Refer to their respective wrongpuraes.

Deep Freeze. Playstation. Screenshot and/or video.
It is another game released only in Japan but all the dialogue is in English. The gameplay is basically walking around the area and shooting the enemy before they shoot you which look really repetitive. Where this game shines however the fact that it has really hammy acting mixed with Engrish which makes this game “special" (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-allears.gif). I only seen the first level so I would like to see it completed and get more information on the game.

I'd like to see some LP Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo.

(img http://i.imgur.com/7wICn.jpg)

The gist of it is that the protagonist has to reclaim 48 of his body parts that have been stolen by demons (and replaced with prosthetics), with each recovered body part improving him in some way (getting an eye back allows the player to see in colour, an ear allows him to jump more accurately because of the inner balancing mechanism, etc, etc). You also play as his young travelling companion, the titular Dororo.

(img http://i.imgur.com/p4iXf.jpg)(img http://i.imgur.com/eVMIG.jpg)

It plays not disimilar from Dynasty Warriors - killing floods of enemies, and it's a pretty fun little action game - not only does the guy have two swords for arms, but a gun inside one also, and his knee is a bazooka.

I'd love to see an LP of Dear Esther. It has some of the best writing ever to grace videogames, and is probably the best use of Source visuals yet, paired with a fantastic soundtrack. It doesn't really have much of a "game" to speak of, but the experience is really worthwhile from an LP standpoint. It's not super long, though, so it should be paired with something like Journey, perhaps.

Is it wrong to say that I was thinking of doing one cause those videos look kinda bad and artifacted? Cause it looks pretty amazing with the HD release. I was kinda hoping to do a double feature though of that and the Stanley's Parable HD release but that doesn't seem to come out till mid 2013.

On that note, as long as we're talkin' Halo, I noticed no one's ever done Halo 3. Voice or sub, whatever, I don't expect anyone to go as crazy in-depth as Cooked Auto's LPs of the first 2 games, but with the new one out I'm just in a Halo kinda mood.

I would like to add a request for Metal Max Returns for SNES and the later game Metal Saga for the PS2

They are interesting, sort of like a post-apocalyptic Final Fantasy, but with customizable Tanks which you drive and kill really weird monsters that infest the world on your adventure to become the Greatest Hunter in the world, it's open ended so you don't really end the game until you want it to end.

There are a number of gameplay videos up on Youtube and other sites, I'm sure. I can't imagine what more content you could possibly expect from an LP of a dance game. I think even the people who have attempted Pokemon and Ace Attorney LPs would tell you that's a terrible idea.

I would like to request an LP of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger for the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube. I think it's a really underrated game and could use a little more attention, and maybe we could all get a big discussion about Australia out of the thread since it's heavy on the Australian stereotypes.

Nobody has to do the sequels though, we're better off forgetting those existed.

What might - MIGHT - be interesting for a dance game is a blind LP. Get a blindfold, scarecam yourself into the video, and let us watch you try to dance your way through the game without the visual cues.

Then again, splice video from So You Think You Can Dance into the feed from the camera and see what Dance Central makes of them.

Look, I'm not sure if you've realized this yet, but transplanting existing LPs from Youtube is not allowed here. If you have fans on Youtube, great. More power to you. But throwing down a link to an existing off-site LP is, with few exceptions, nothing but a grab for more subscribers, more views and more likes. It's tacky, it's not conducive to healthy discussions in threads, and that's why there's a rule against it. If you're ever about to make a new thread, ask yourself: am I making this primarily for the SA Forums? If the answer is no, don't do it. If you want to get some guidance and polish your LPs, we've got two whole threads for that, but you have to be open to criticism. I know you're probably cheesed off about what you may well be taking as insults, but you can do so much better. Stick around, keep and open mind and you might just learn something.

For content, I'd love to see someone take on Stay Tooned, because that game is so very much my childhood. Maybe throw in some other toon games like The Incredible Toon Machine and Arcade America. The Toontastic Megathread?

Spiffo. I have never said or mentioned that I am here to become "famous". All I am here for is to improve my let's play skills.
All I really wanted was some feedback on my content. What did I get? Some feedback and some whom instantly assumed me to become internet famous because I posted a let's play on my first day here? I had no attention of ever becoming famous at all. I simply just want to improve and get better on my videos. However if people assumed me to be internet famous because of my first post, I apologize. I did not mean to come of as that. It was my first post and that is it.
I have never said; I am not going to not lurk around. Actually I closed down my old thread and started looking around on other threads. So I do not see why this is needed. (Still commenting on my fault. I mean it is human to do mistakes. I am obviously human.)

On a separate note, and I don't know how entertaining this would possibly be in practice, I think it'd be interesting to see a thread dedicated to classic platformers that were obviously marketed at kids that turned out to be difficult to beat even as adults. Disney platformers, pretty much.

Daikatana. Game Boy Color. Screenshot and/or video.
Practically everyone knows about Daikatana, one of the buggiest games on the PC and later N64 and also one of the biggest reasons Ion Storm went bankrupt. However did anyone know there was a Gameboy color version of Daikatana. Apparently it is out there and better than the original which is not that hard. It would be interesting if the game got some spotlight.

Spyro Enter the Dragonfly for the PS2 and/or Nintendo Gamecube. Video.
I just saw someone stream this game recently and I remembered how bad it was when I played it as a kid. This is the worst game in the Spyro series. There are numerous glitches, irritating sound issues, and frequent long loading times. Also the game has one of the worst physics engine I have ever seen which has the character look like sock puppets when they talk along with Spyro look like he will fall over himself when moving and numerous other things that look stupid because of the engine. Apparently Universal Interactive Studios forced the developers to release the game for the holiday season. This game is prime for mocking and being torn apart.


Final Fantasy: Crisis Core . PSP. Screenshot and/or video.

One of the few Final Fantasies I actually played , I enjoyed the game despite some problems and after reading much of Elenator’s let’s play of Final Fantasy 7 I’m interested in giving another look at Crisis Core but my PSP broke and even if my PSP wasn’t broke I am too busy with other things to get another look at the game. Also I’m surprised this game hasn’t been done or requested yet since it is a somewhat popular Final Fantasy entry, while Dirge of Cerberus is achieved and there is an ongoing LP of Crystal Bearers going on (both which are apparently the worst Final Fantasy games)

Not for the whole game, mind you, but the majority of the sidequests: *snorrre*.

I really like what I've played of this game, but I'm not sure how one would do it. Videos would need a lot of editing, given the amount of walking and random sidequests you end up doing, and screenshots would lose the feel of the actual gameplay and only allow focus on the story. Not that the story's bad, but it's not enough to sell the game on.

Yes, this would also be indicated. The game is pretty good but the guy handling all the money completely pissed it away. Any game that sells a million copies is hardly a failure.

I have honestly thought about making such a video even without the LP. The whole KoA project was essentially doomed from the start and it annoyed me as all hell to see everyone and their mother in the gaming press push out articles that tried desperately to blame the game's economic failure on everything but the project itself and how it was managed. One article even went so far as to put the blame on consumers, accusing them of "wanting" it to fail since they "envied" a developer being allowed to chase their dream.

Considering Silicon Knights has to destroy every copies of their games containing Unreal Engine, I'd say It would be nice to have a X-Men Destiny & Too Human LP combo to celebrate the event.

I'm more than a little surprised that 8 months later, no one's taken a run at Mass Effect 3 yet. Anyone planning to LP it? I've played the game, but I'd like to see it through someone else's eyes without dealing with the horrors of Youtube.

Granted, the thread would probably be a migraine to manage with all the controversy surrounding the game. (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)

While an ME megathread would be cool, it would take major policing to prevent BIOWARE HATEZONE #3.

Kaubocks @ Nov 19, 2012 04:11
I was seriously trying to figure out the other day how a ME trilogy LP would work. The game is mostly based around talking to people. You could avoid talking to a lot of the side characters and don't bother picking up sidequests to speed things up but some can be kind of interesting and some people might want to see them. Either way, you're looking at a seriously long LP with extensive editing that's hard to tell what's worth cutting or not and the gameplay is very same-y.

It could be more interesting with a group. Maxwell Adams did one a couple years back that seemed fairly well received. At the very least, one other person who has never experienced the series could be a definite boon-- it would be interesting to see conflicting opinions about, say... the Krogan genophage. I generally prefer to work on my own LPs alone though so it's hard for me to think of ways to make a solo LP of Mass Effect worth watching. Any ideas?

Silver Alicorn @ Nov 19, 2012 04:55
Syrg Sapphire and I have been tossing ideas back and forth on doing a big ol' Mass Effect LP for a while. Mass Effect has a bit of the LP curse affecting it too - both I and another goon have attempted ME2 and had to stop about a third of the way through. My strongest feeling is that it'd be best to treat the series like an RPG and do it in screenshots, maybe with highlight reels to show off some of the more interesting action sequences. Screenshots would allow the presenter to go into pretty deep detail about the intricacies of the Mass Effect universe, of which there are many.

One of the big problems is the branching nature of the game. Even if you presented both "paragon" and "renegade" versions of it, you'd still be showing off at best 1/3 of the player classes, unless maybe you used a save editor or something. And ME2 almost has more squadmates than missions. I'd already be far along into ME2 by now if there were a straightforward way to do it.

Player classes really only affect the combat (with one or two minor exceptions), which isn't going to be a major feature of a screenshot LP. And in ME2, at least, the companions don't have a lot to say unless it's their own mission(s). What would be more of an issue is showing off situations like Virmire in the first game that -don't- break down into a straight Renegade/Paragon branching approach. Especially if you wanted to explore knock-on alterations in ME2 from ME1 and ME3 from ME1 and 2.

Ultimately I think you might have to take an approach like Bobbin Threadbare is doing with Alpha Protocol (which branches a hell of a lot more than any of the Mass Effect games), pick a couple of substantially divergent approaches and have done with it. Not every LP has to be 100% flawlessly thorough in showing off every scrap of content the game has to offer, and there can always be other Mass Effect LPs.

Imo, a Mass Effect megaLP could only take off with major help from the audience : I'd say 3-4 people (maybe at rotation, not necessarily the same) could play the game simultaneously (not at the same time but the same parts) with different characters and different choices.

The OP should then edit all of the videos together (using video-in-videos layout, keeping track of a single player and every now and then switching to another one) and give 5 to 10 minutes to each character to ensure a decent view (how the npcs treat a female Shepard, a earth born; how playing as a tech differs from a vanguard, etc.) of the game with relatively brief videos.

I don't see what the problem is with a heavily edited LP of Mass Effect, cutting to each dialogue and combat sequence, and getting rid of all of the in-between moments where nothing happens.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 have increased sprint cheats, while 3 is pretty linear compared to the others, especially if you cut out the parts where you're scanning planets for tech and money and fuel and the like.

An idea I was kicking around back when I was considering it was having a friend play blind on his 360 with me guiding / explaining when necessary, and then doing a skilled run on the side myself on PC, and splicing to whichever was the more interesting at the time. As much as there's a lot that exists in the game(s), you really don't need more than 2 runthroughs to cover the majority. You'll miss out on a number of small things where there's more than 2 options, but there's nothing saying you have to saturate your LP with everything that could possibly ever happen in the game(s) so that the viewers have not even the tiniest new things to see if they buy the game(s). And then there are things like playing a Vanguard in ME3, which while fun as hell to play, would just be a confusing (and potentially repetitive) mess to watch.

And yeah, heavy editing is kind of required for doing it/them in video.

Zedd @ Nov 19, 2012 15:48
I tried to do ME2 and I discovered it is a very big and long game to do as first LP; I got about halfway through before I burned out.
Swapping between the 6 classes with savegame editing will help with keeping it interesting.

Speedball @ Nov 19, 2012 16:23
There's sort-of been a LP of Mass Effect 2....sort of.

Chuck Sonnenberg, SF Debris, did a review/overview of the plot (not gameplay) in Mass Effect 2, explaining the various thisses and thats as he went. For humor's sake he tended to choose the option that resulted in the most death surrounding Shepard.

Kaubocks @ Nov 19, 2012 17:03
I'm not really sure multiple concurrent playthroughs would be completely necessary. Having a Paragon and Renegade playthrough going side by side would really only show differences in character reaction. Generally when I play ME games, I play very "wishy-washy" with my responses-- I don't stick to just Paragon or Renegade, I pick whatever reaction seems more fitting at the time. It's nice to see Space Jesus lose his cool every now and then.

I think it would be neat to leave all the big choices up to the audience. It could definitely spark some minor debates. Say you've made it to where you can save the rachni. I'd probably leave it up to the thread to decide what to do next. Of course there would be people who would try to use their knowledge of the future games to decide on what to do so perhaps I would have it that you'd need to make an argument for your choice. Do you trust them? Do you feel like they're try to overrun the galaxy once more? As long as your argument isn't "let's kill them so we can see how stupid it is when they come back in ME3 anyway" then I'd say it's a valid vote. I like to imagine that people who haven't played the series before would be really fighting to have their choice win because they want to see how it plays out. If there were multiple playthroughs, there could potentially be less discussion. Nobody is arguing one choice or the other because they're going to see both results anyway.

Switching up classes as the game goes on would definitely keep things fresh, especially in 2 and 3 where there are actually different abilities.

AMReese @ Nov 19, 2012 17:08
Of course, there doesn't need to be a Paragon or Renegade path, but a blue subtitle that says "Paragon" and a red that says "Renegade" with cuts between them, sort of like what LordMune did for Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain.

Just play Soldier Shepard, since that's his default characteristic. Maybe bonus videos showing off the individual biotic powers, but that's it. It doesn't have to be a legit walkthrough.

Along the lines of big 'ol Bioware RPGs, Corridor's run of Dragon Age has stalled.

Mega64 @ Nov 19, 2012 22:11
The main problem with Mass Effect is finding a way to show things off without burning out. Honestly, I think the best thing would be to simply just go one route the entire way (Paragon, Renegade, a mix, thread participation, etc.) through the series and let other people show things off if they want, whether in the thread as bonus content/a collaboration, or through their own LP's. I think trying to show off even Paragon/Renegade as one person would end up being too much work and lead to burnout, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Anyway, I'm going to make a request for The Last Story, one of the big three Wii RPGs that eventually got localized. Mainly, this is because I don't have the desire to finish it yet still want to see how the story goes. Of course, it's also showing off an RPG of some of the remnants of the old Squaresoft, like Sakaguchi and Uematsu. Also, the love story in the game seems to at least be somewhat interesting, and it could be interesting to dissect the story and compare it to other jRPGs and games.

It'd probably work better as a SSLP with videos for cutscenes, even if the gameplay is actiony, but a video LP with a lot of the tedium edited out would work as well.

I'm definitely seriously considering one at this point. I'd have to plan out a route-- what sidequests are interesting enough worth doing and which characters are worth talking to. I'll have to factor in how many of these ripple into the sequels as well. Anything left out can definitely be shown by whoever else would like to put in the effort. Gameplay segments at least in the first game could go by fairly quickly if people don't mind me busting out super equipment early on in the game (But then again I would plan around never really opening up the inventory in the first place so who's going to know? (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-ssh.gif)).

I'm mostly concerned with running out of things to talk about, honestly. I know I wouldn't necessarily have to talk all the time-- most of the game is spent listening to dialogue and even then I don't necessarily have to try and fill all the dead air. Because the series is so long, though... that's where I'm worried.

Burn out is definitely something one would need to be careful about. I'd need to pace myself. Make sure I'm never not enjoying the work-- that's what I've learned to be what kills me when it comes to updates. On the surface, ME seems like something that involves a ton of work and potentially unLPable... but then again we thought a Phoenix Wright LP would never be a thing that happened but HelloWinter is doing a pretty spectacular job. I feel like I enjoy the series enough (aside from a few key points) that I'd want to put in the effort.

Brainamp @ Nov 19, 2012 23:38
It is a fun series, but I feel that a ME thread would have to have at least 2 playthroughs, a renegade and paragon respectively and done at the same time if possible, done by multiple people to prevent burnout. One thing that could be fun if done right is to read off some codex entries for episodes on uncharted planets that contain nothing but mako driving and random shit collection.

Pretty much the hypothetical format I'm thinking of is that each update would contain say two videos. One video would be the Renegade one and the other would be the Paragon. They would give roughly the same content commentary wise, but each would show off different side quests and outcomes.

It's just an idea, but that's my two cents.

Putting in a request for MechCommander 2 on PC.

Having read through berryjon's LP of the original game (an awesome and informative thread), and finding that I cannot for the life of me get MC2 to run on my PC, I would really appreciate being able to watch even more hot 'Mech action. I've heard that it doesn't quite stack up to the original, but I remember having a lot of fun with it back when I was able to get it working.

As far as the "galactic exploration" stuff, I would show a little bit just to make it clear how utterly tedious and pointless it's been in all three Mass Effect games and then if you actually bother to do any more, keep it behind the scenes. There are a very few of those sidequests that have some storyline impact but otherwise nobody really needs to do them, much less LP them.

Yeah, no, I'd never intend to subject anyone to hours of driving the Mako through barren wastes, scanning planets, or evading Reapers. You've done it once, you've done them all.

Thus far what Silver Alicorn and I have thrown around is this, and nothing's locked in yet:

- I'd probably be the one recording the ME1 gameplay. She can't stand the game and a huge part of why I came on was to knock that roadblock out.
- Mix of videos and screenshots. Mostly SSLP (at least for the first game, good god) with videos on action sequences or to demonstrate the scope of some areas or show off the voice-acting in outstanding scenes. There is legitimately no reason to show off the genero-bases or scanning or whatever in video when a screenshot or two can get the point across in much less time. Video would probably ramp up from ME2 onwards just because they streamlined more by that point.
- ME1 at least we could do "two videos" on because I'm unemployed and have too much time to record a dick playthrough and an angel playthrough. Beyond that though, who knows?
- I don't think either of us has looked up how many changes come from the backgrounds yet but these would probably be glossed over given that from memory it comes up on maybe... 4 quests in all 3 games total? If there was more to it then probably, but as-is, eh.
- You had better believe we will probably argue about certain details of the franchise, especially as we go further into the series (fuck Krogans)

I'd say everything should be shown in video at least once so people can see things in motion (the map screen shows jack about interior layouts and makes it look way more boring than they end up being), but after that it's a bit redundant. One simple video where you go "here's how planet-roaming looks and how the generic buildings look, now you know why I'm not showing them again".

ME1 has one unique sidequest for each birthplace choice, and changes one different existing sidequest for each military career choice. Beyond that, it's simple mentions (War Hero gets mentioned a lot by your crew) in ME1 and then the very occasional (maybe once or twice per game) mention in the latter games to prove that hey! We remember you chose a thing! (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-haw.gif)

Personally, if I was going to pick one of each to skip, it'd be Spacer and Ruthless. Reasoning: Colonist quest is fucking chilling, and Earthborn can be solved pretty awesomely, while VA dude is boring and ShepMom barely comes up at all in the later games. (Maybe call your mother and let her know you're not dead? No? You are the worst daughter/son.) For the career, everyone's tripping over their dick to congratulate you on War Hero even before you get to the quest it slightly alters, and Sole Survivor makes an enormous difference in the sidequest it changes, while Ruthless is mentioned once and then ignored.

I've seen several "Total War" LPs on the Master List, but with the exception of the recent Shogun 2 attempt that almost immediately stalled, they're all exclusively screenshot. I was wondering if there were any past or planned video attempts at one of the games (they're all on PC). I would make one myself, but I kind of suck at planning anything more complex than a dinner date for one, so yeah.

As for my reasons, the battle system is spectacular to look at. The screenshots don't do it justice, and voiced commentary (live or post) could lend a sports-like appeal to the proceedings. Hell, even on the map the strategic discussion carries more of an impact when you see everything moving as described instead of reading "I did [X]" --> *look at photo of what is presumably me doing [x]*. Does the length of a normal campaign or the system load of the games make a video LP impractical or something? It seems like at least one person would have tried it before this year.

An OP that's better at thinking on his/her feet and rolling with whatever is given could try the audience-driven route.

Incredible Crisis. Playstation 1. Video
It is a mini game collection which has a soundtrack by the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra who are kicking rad. It is a quirky and fun. Maybe have two tracks for the video with one with commentary and another without commentary.

Nights into Dreams (HD version) and Nights Journey Into Dreams. (PS3/Xbox 360/Pc) and Wii respectively. Video.
With the new HD version of Nights into Dreams it is possible to do an LP of the game without playing it on a Saturn. Both Nights games look very stylistic but the actual gameplay looks really sallow especially in Journey into Dreams. Probably be neat to have a megathread of the Nights series.



Gun Lord. Neo Geo or Dreamcast. Video.

I had briefly kicked around the idea of trying to LP ME3 over the summer, but there were a lot of problems - that being the main one. I don't think it really should be done as a solo effort and I couldn't stream in high quality for commentary like, say, Geop does in his Dark Souls LP (which is awesome). The other problem is that I can't see myself doing something that intensive for my first LP. I just know I'd burn out.

Ideally what I imagine would be a group of 3, maybe 4, with at least some variety of opinions on the game (games plural if we're talking series megathread), one of which who hasn't played the games at all. I know that's an insanely tall order and I'm not making that specific of a request, it's just an idea I think would work out pretty well, especially if someone's planning the aforementioned 3-game megathread, because dear god the burnout risk on that would be daunting.

I guess I was kind of picturing a Tipping 40s LP.

It is a mini game collection which has a soundtrack by the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra who are kicking rad. It is a quirky and fun. Maybe have two tracks for the video with one with commentary and another without commentary.

I'm absolutely positive I've seen this done on the boards. I think it was in the old Short Games Thread, but I can't remember who it was by.

al-azad. He did a commentary-less run which he compiled into Incredible Crisis: The Game: The Movie.

A commentated run would be pretty cool though.

Has anyone played Vantage Master? Well, I don't know if it would make for an interesting LP in any way, but it's a pretty interesting game which many people might not be aware of and I only just remembered it existed even though I've played it at some point.

Basically, it's a turn-based strategy game by the famous Japanese company Falcom. A strange thing about is that the English PC version is for some reason a freeware game, and has always been as far as I remember.

So yeah, I don't know if this is LP material, but some people might want to take a look at the game if you've never heard of it.

toddy. @ Nov 22, 2012 20:50
Vantage Master Online (the one the post above linked) is essentially an inferior sequel to the original Vantage Master that is entirely based around the levels that you progress through and get units to summon one by one. I get the feeling that trying to LP that game would burn out really quick because there is nothing other than 50 missions of battling out against an unfair CPU - no plot, no side stuff.

The original Vantage Master had a bit more of everything than that, minus VMO's online play which is now essentially dead. There's a translation patch in the works, but there's no scheduled completion date yet.

This got lost in the shuffle of Mass Effect talk, but I want to bring it back up. Edna Mode did an awesome LP of the first one, but I think got a little burned out in the process. I remember Edna mentioned that he was thinking about doing the sequels, but I haven't heard anything since. I'd love to have him come back and make The Playa The Boss.

Okay, so here's my thinking:

I'm gonna put up a test post this weekend just of the intro mission, and then format the LP thusly:

Probably going to do some story missions solo, and bring in a whole bevy of co-commentators for various side missions and fucking around.

This is happening, people!

If someone does this, naturally they should feature other posters' pawns as much as possible... There is fast travel in the game, BTW, but you can really use it only after repeated playthroughs.

I just finished Saints Row TT a few weeks ago and greatly enjoyed it. Looking forward to your effort, Skippy. Will there be signups for co-op sessions or something?

I'm currently working on something else, so it almost killed me to see that Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow's translation patch has been released, because I was seriously considering LPing that once that happened, but now I'm focused on the other thing. I seriously hope someone does take up the mantle in the effort to LP all the Fire Emblems, preferably in either TenaCrane's style (who showed off an interesting way to play a not so great game and now we can do fun things with its sequel), Fedule's (numbers numbers all the numbers and game mechanics (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-spergin.png) everywhere), or their own, perhaps providing their own perspective through the My Unit character.

But whoever does it, I'll be happy, because the game's great and needs to join the Fire Emblem Appreciation...Season, I guess?

I've seen several "Total War" LPs on the Master List, but with the exception of the recent Shogun 2 attempt that almost immediately stalled, they're all exclusively screenshot. I was wondering if there were any past or planned video attempts at one of the games (they're all on PC). I would make one myself, but I kind of suck at planning anything more complex than a dinner date for one, so yeah.

As for my reasons, the battle system is spectacular to look at. The screenshots don't do it justice, and voiced commentary (live or post) could lend a sports-like appeal to the proceedings. Hell, even on the map the strategic discussion carries more of an impact when you see everything moving as described instead of reading "I did [X]" --> *look at photo of what is presumably me doing [x]*. Does the length of a normal campaign or the system load of the games make a video LP impractical or something? It seems like at least one person would have tried it before this year.

Shalcar is doing an LP of Shogun 2: Rise of the Samurai right now. It even has videos for every (important) battle, as well as an in-depth look at game-mechanics. It hasn't stalled and is progressing at a decent rate. (He started the LP shortly after the other one fizzled out)

So I just read about an interesting old game for the PSX called Moon Remix RPG. It's by the studio of Chulip and its ilk.
A kid plays a JRPG all night and gets sucked into its world, only everything is sadder and more realistic. You have to gain love from the NPCs who do not trust you. There are no levels or battles. The monsters are all dead already, their dead bodies lying around. You reunite their souls with them to gain their love. The game is not linear.
It's all in Japanese but there are apparently well written guides. It would be interesting if someone played this through and translated the dialog.

Have you seen the TAS of it before? One of the biggest glitches involves walking along the top wall of the Kakariko Village graveyard, jumping off towards Ganondorf's fortress, and bypassing a ton of work. Another one involves Glitching Ganondorf's fortress so you end up bypassing the entire first fight with Ganondorf and are now having to make your way out of the collapsing castle.

Cosmo's runs are pretty much the gold standard for quality and commentary. A month back he did a mindmelting all medallions run that completely tore the game in two, while explaining all of it step by step, and this weekend he just aimed for straight completion and got a time of about 22 minutes.

I have seen Cosmo's all medallion run actually. It's excellent and all, but it's still a speedrun and as such there are alot of glitches that are kind of impractical to a speedrun that I know about that he wouldn't be using. Like getting into gerudo valley early as a kid, for example.

I just want to see the game broken in every manner conceivable.

Now I'm excited.

There are SO MANY GLITCHES and numerous ways to do some of the skips. There are a ton of ways to do the very first one, to get out of the forest. (Navi dive, crouch escape, pressure jump, ISG hover with deku scrub, probably more that I'm forgetting.)

Now, on the one hand, I actually have the PC port of that last one. On the other, it was incredibly buggy for me (Win 95 games don't work too well for me, sadly), and I know damn well I was no good at it.

But if someone does manage to get it working/recorded, I'd happily second this one, it was definitely an interesting idea (although I didn't get far enough along to see how well it was executed).

As far as Dungeonbowl goes, I would actually warn people away from this one unless it was a straight goon tournament, and even then, I'm not sure there'd be many takers, as it had no balance, the random elements just don't make it fun, a lot of the base maps are painful slogfests, and, last time I played it, they had no refs at all, which allowed griefers free reign.

Yea, Leavemywife is right; if you look at the newly added LP's to the archive most of them are finished in October and it's also good to realize that it's up to the LP'er when they want to send the email off to Baldurk to get things added. Maybe Sety didn't send it off?

This, but have screenshots for the cutscenes, of course! One of the worst things you can do in an SSLP, in my opinion, is force people to watch videos. It's fine as a bonus/alternative, though.

I was super excited about ZHP the first bit I played of it. Then it got super repetitive and I realized I am absolutely terrible at roguelikes and tactics games so I kinda got burned out on the idea. I figured it'd probably have to be a screenshot LP and honestly I just don't know if I have the attention span for that kind of thing. I never did finish the game, though, so I'd definitely love to see someone else tackle it so I can see how it ends!

But yeah, I am dipping my toes into the ME trilogy since Syrg and Alicorn aren't exactly sure when they're going to be able to start theirs. I decided I should probably go all out with planning it-- figuring out who's worth talking to, what's worth talking about, what sidequests are worth doing, which path to take around the Citadel, etc. I got a binder with a ton of paper and dividers and just started taking notes as I went along. From the intro to the end of Eden Prime took about three pages of handwritten notes. If anyone is interested in the method I'm trying to take with this, you can check out my notes here. Going to work out the Citadel tonight most likely then attempt a test recording.

I'd like to request a VLP of Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi. It's an early 2000s first person shooter/horror game that derives a significant amount of its scare factor from the randomized placement of key game elements like enemies, weapons, and the NPCs you're trying to rescue. As I recall, it also has fairly old-school sensibilities about what sort of weaponry can even harm things like vampires and werewolves, so if you encounter those and -don't- have the right toys, well. Time to run!

I'm gonna put in a request for Haze. This PS3-exclusive first person shooter had a bit a hype before it released, but all that hype died upon release when it became clear that it was a mountain of trash. It's hilariously bad and its brain-dead writing, awful voice-acting and its bog-standard gameplay(with a few interesting but poorly-implemented gimmicks thrown in) make it a perfect storm of B-movie entertainment.

Okay.

Random request for a video or screenshot (video would probably be better, but I can't think of a reason screenshots wouldn't work) LP of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Pretty neat hack n' slash sort of game with 17 characters (8 regular, 8 hidden, and one super hidden character, tons of stages, and some pretty cool music in many parts of the game. A game I played a lot of, but sadly no longer have any copies of. And depending on the name you enter, you could play with a bunch of really random characters skins for the normal characters.

There's a few versions of it, the ones I'm most familiar with being the PS2 and GameCube versions. GameCube is better overall, mostly because of how items work and the fact you don't need a multi-tap for four player co-op. It's one of those games that's designed to be harder the more people are playing, and in any case I rather liked it. Solo LP would be fine, co-op better.

Battle Construction Vehicle. PS2. Video

The PSP ports, and it was Namco, rather, though Falcom also had their own hand in wrecking it. They're still solid games but they have some problems with completeness and many fans argue they butchered the soundtrack but the core gameplay is still there.

The PC versions are amazing but they are pretty difficult to run and are not translated into English. Not to mention they toned down the difficulty for the PSP versions by a lot.

Policenaut posted:

It's actually numbers 3 through 5 in the series, but they changed the numbers for release on the PS2 and PSP in the US because the original second game was never released outside of Japan. They weren't released in order, but the small story connections between games 3 and 4 (JP release numbers) were slightly severed when they removed some content from Witch's Prophecy and Tear of Vermillion. None of them take place immediately after one another either, they're just set in the same world and certain events are vaguely referred to. It's not like the connection between the chapters in LoH6 (Trails in the Sky).

I've toyed with the idea of SSLP'ing the original Legend of Heroes (or possibly later entries) for a while now, but I have no idea if I'll ever get around to it. Don't count on it, I'm lazy as shit with this LP thing.

Mind if I just reiterate the need for Kingdom Under Fire to be LP'd.

I loved these games to death and I sorely regret ever losing them.

The game lets you respec your character at any time for next to no cost. Also two of the tradeskills in the game completely obliterate any sort of challenge and render 99% of the loot you find useless. Basically any LP of Amalur would need to avoid abusing blacksmithing and probably gemcrafting. Also it would have to be on Hard difficulty because otherwise the combat is drop dead simple.

Speedball @ Dec 11, 2012 10:37
How it works is basically, if you use blacksmithing you're constantly breaking items down and only occasionally getting good materials from them, but the things you can build are on average quite a lot better than the junk you find. However, you also are not getting any money for the items you're breaking down. So someone who collects weapons, sells them to the shops and buys ultra-rares from the shop does actually NEED the money, whereas a blacksmith is usually broke but also doesn't need the money so much.

I find that, that is the balance (or at least the balance they were going for).

Mix of a bit of everything was the way to show off everything in Amalur, too. The Jack-of-All-Trades class was probably the most fun, for me, so anyone LPing Amalur would probably have to go that route.

Powerfrog @ Dec 12, 2012 23:35
I'm surprised to see there has been no LP of Bridge It yet.

Bridge It is a game wherein you build bridges. Building the bridges isn't always straight forward or easy though, the tougher levels are a true pain, not only is your bridge tested by land vehicles, you're expected to make rising bridges to allow passage of giant boats (You usually discover this game mechanic AS the boat crashes into your static bridge you spent 30 minutes building for the first time.) And if someone was very clever they could probably make weird structures work as bridges for the easier levels.

There is a level design feature so goon gaps could be covered by goon bridges, or extreme difficulty/fun user made maps could be played.

There are also earthquakes.

Solatorobo: Red The Hunter for the DS. Screenshot and video hybrid.
I played this game after the controversy of Megaman Legends 3 being canceled. I heard apparently that the precursor of Solatorobo, Tail Concerto has gameplay that is really similar to the Megaman Legends series. So I played Solatorobo to make myself feel better. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive with the main mechanic being throwing. There is side missions but they are generally kill this kill that, drag object from point A to point B, give item to villager, etc. However the music is really nice and the game came with a CD which was neat. The storyline is also really dumb which is why I want an LP of this game. The plot is basically TV Tropes entries cobbled together which creates something that is marvelously stupid and anime. (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-allears.gif)

Also maybe Tail Concerto if anyone wants to give some background for Solatorobo even though it is not necessary to play Tail Concerto to understand the plot to Solatorobo.

I'm busy with Inazuma Eleven right now, but I've been considering Solatorobo. It's fun, but there's the issue of any thread for it possibly turning into some weird furry hate/love party instead of actually talking about the game. I picked it up when I heard that CyberConnect2 made it, and after watching some random LP of Tail Concerto. Solatorobo is definitely pretty damn anime, but it was made with a lot of love.

If I did it though, it'd be full video on a New Game+++ in order to show off the game as it was meant to be played, on the hardest setting with the last robot that actually has more moves than just throwing shit.

I think it is unfair to label the "Little Tail Bronx series" (I don't know why the series is called that.) "furry" because remember the Tail of Concerto was released in 1999, when it was still commercially viable to make games staring cartoon animals. The reason why Both Tails games seem "furry" is because the characters are drawn in an anime style which is often used by furries because furries often tend to be weaboos as well.

After watching some of the Laura Bow LP, I'd be really interested in seeing one for Maupiti Island (PC/Atari ST/Amiga). It's a similar older style murder mystery with unforgiving gameplay and a complex time system with characters moving around and events happening regardless of where you are. The only run-through I've found of the game online is a solution run on youtube (if you know the solution already apparently the game can be finished in minutes), but it'd be interesting to see a full (multiple?) playthroughs to see the full scope of the game and how exactly to reach the solution. Although I imagine it'd be difficult to structure into a LP.

It actually plays alot like "Secret of Mana", it has real-time battles, a ring-shaped menu system, and you switch between the main character and his dog. You use the dog to sniff out items as you explore.

You will play through the game in different eras, starting with prehistoric.

Alchemy is the "magic"

The reason I want to see it LPed is because long ago I played it quite alot, and got pretty far when my computer crashed and I haven't felt like picking it up again.
Also because I read this LP of Breath of Fire II and it's just very fun to read.

Warning:
If i remember correctly there isn't that many friends involved in the plot, so it might feel lonely. But atleast you've got your dog.

How the game starts, taken from Wikipedia:
The story of Secret of Evermore begins with a black and white flashback to 1965, in a small town called Podunk, USA. In a laboratory situated on the roof of a mansion, a malfunction occurs which floods the area with white flash of light. Thirty years later.., the game's young protagonist is leaving a theater when his pet dog chases after a cat in the street. The boy hurriedly follows after him, eventually reaching a large, abandoned mansion. He discovers the hidden laboratory with a large machine built in the center. When the dog begins to chew on some wires, the pair find themselves transported to the surreal world of Evermore

It was Kaz with Medibots assistance, unfortunately the main host was Viddler which ate all the videos but it looks like Baldurk got it up on the Internet Archive so it's still available.

I know they did a couple of the Wily/Cossack stages for the old Romhack thread, but I didn't know of half of them until I saw Duckfist streaming speedrun attempts. The game is so awesome it hurts.

Kaz is slowly re-uploading Odin Sphere to youtube, I hope some day he gets around to the Double Secret of Evermore. He managed to create a fairly brisk VLP of a grind-heavy game by abusing a ridiculous underflow glitch to obtain NEAR LIMITLESS POWER.

Out of curiosity for what it'd be like, I grabbed the "deluxe version." It seemed pretty boring, like it was trying too hard to be funny but nothing overly terrible.

Then I got a scene wherein you are railroaded into being raped by a mermaid. This was played off as being a joke... which then carries on after the scene ends.

I sort of want to see what else it slips in, in places, that's flatout awful now but I sure as hell don't want to touch it again. So, yeah, I'm definitely seconding this request.

Stuff like this is one of the few reason why (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/smilies/4/d/tvtropes.001.gif) can be useful. You can just find the page for the work in question and quickly skim it for questionable content. Since you can always count on the tropers to add the worst stuff first, it's a pretty reliable safety measure. There's 8 counts of the word "rape" on the "Embric of Wulfhammer's castle" page. I really, really recommend staying the fuck away from the game.

The game is in a really bad format for an LP, unless the LPer cuts 99% of the game out. Shard conquests are pretty much skirmish fights with an expanding tech-tree. Ethical choices are too frequent and too minor to make for good audience participation. The astral stuff is fairly interesting, but there's simply not enough of it to keep the LP going forward in an entertaining way. That said, I'm having a blast playing it.

I have no way of recording from my PS3, but this is a project that I do want to tackle someday (though it would probably be a highly edited video LP, FF13 is really pretty and I think it deserves to be shown off in motion). Maybe after my next LP I'll look into getting an HD-PVR or something.

Waltzing Along @ Dec 30, 2012 02:48
I have a different sort of request. I guess I will explain what I am looking for first to see if this applies to you.

1 - Has PS3
2 - Has NOT played Journey
3 - Has ability to record HD video and voice

I see that there not been a LP of Journey yet. I've been playing the game like crazy and have 100% it and still keep doing it. I watched someone on youtube LP and it occurred to me that a LP for this would be much better if it was from the perspective of a first timer.

I can't do that any more. What I can do is lead a new player around so they can get most of the trophies and complete the game while seeing everything. I am fairly certain that we could work it out so we would meet up in the game.

So, in essence, the request is for someone to do a blind LP of Journey w/ the addition of someone who can guide you through all the secrets. There are 14 trophies in the game and 11 can be done on the first play through if you know how.

E: Forgot to mention. You would do the video/audio, I would do the writing/forum post.

Don't have a PS3, and have played Journey, so can't volunteer for this. Just giving an opinion.

I do think having one player go through blind would be the best idea for this game, but I don't think having a Player 2 to tow them around specifically to give the guided tour is the best idea. I think it would go against the mood and mechanics the game tries to establish, and spoil the discovery a bit for the person playing blind.

If I were making a Journey LP (and I can't) I'd have one player playing blind, and a second player doing a completely separate set of videos where he shows off the secrets and achievements etc.

The problem with this is that on a blind play through, you see 75% of the game. A second set of vids would be mostly redundant because of the roughly 1 secret/easter egg per level.

This would be a fun 5 minute LP.

The game only needs one play through and it would be better from a new player perspective. Having a guide won't hurt anything. I'd just follow around and if something important was missed, I'd guide them to that thingy. This is mainly for the desert level and for a scarf piece or tow, and a glyph/piece on the tower level.

Personally, I would love to see a LP of two licensed ps2 games, that actually aren't that bad. They can be pretty ridiculous, but in a good way.

First off 24: The game. It is a typical season of 24, but with extra crazy Earthquake bomb anyone? And the governor of California being in on it. It also has a torture interrogation minigame, and a level you play as Kim Bauer. It's a pretty fun game.

Secondly: From Russia with Love. Because, come on, they expanded the plot of the movie, tossed in a ton of references to other Bond movies, and had Sean Connery reprise the role, 40 years later. So, you have drunken old man Connery spitting quips, while playing through the most memorable scenes of the movie, plus others. It would be a total treasure house for somebody who knows bond trivia.

It was released on JAP PSN in 2010. Its soundtrack is pretty nifty.

Maybe. After I'm finished with my current obligations, I'm entertaining the idea of doing the Mistwalker titles if I can figure out a good way to do Lost Odyssey, and if S-Video is good enough for 360 titles. I'm thinking radio drama: Japanese audio under a SSLP with the usual assholery.

Cross-post from the Games you want sequels for thread:

Here's my request: Omega Boost

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHkBRmxrZ4s

From Polyphony Digital, the makers of the Gran Turismo series, this extremely overlooked PS1 game blows me away even to this day. I still think this game is way ahead of its time, as if I'm playing on the God damn PlayStation 3. You can easily lose sense of up and down, but you can always correct yourself with auto-targeting to the nearest enemy. The only other game I know that has this sort of 360º free-roaming gameplay is Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (actually, I wouldn't mind an LP of this as well). I don't even like the mecha genre one bit, but this is hands down one of my absolute favorite games on the PS1. It's very short, only has 10 levels, and your only abilities is to shoot bullets, missiles, and using the Viper Boost (you'll see all three in the video). But hot damn is it beautifully crafted and fun as hell for such little content. Not to mention how awesome the music is!

It has the Mass Effect syndrome of having way too much talking (and multiple branches in conversations) that if you attempt to show it all then it becomes overly time consuming to put together and also results in not getting a good representation of the game.

It really doesn't help that the first chapter proper involves running back and forward from one end of the map to the other repeatedly, which takes forever.

I'm planning on both. Solo will be an informative run on Heroic difficulty, likely to be partially or fully subtitled to showcase the music and excellent AI audio. Co-op run will be four players, rotating guests, and a rotation of the skulls to show off their effects (excluding Grunt Birthday Party and I Would Have Been Your Daddy, which will be on by default in all the co-op videos).

As for multi, there's really not that many people playing it besides die-hards. If I can convince enough fun people to fire up some custom games, we'll see what happens.

I've beaten it and I can say that I was really drained just from playing it. The game is fucking wonderful, but it's an emotional roller-coaster and I imagine that lping it would be pretty herculean cause of how depressed the game keeps you most of the time.

I think the biggest problem is that while the Dreams are very well-written, the actual game storyline is not and it's superbly jarring and frustrating. I couldn't get past the first disc, despite having to play it because Feelplus is made up of some of the best game designers in the industry (ex-Sacnoth/Nautilus employees who worked on the Shadow Hearts series).

If it's about the game then you shouldn't need eye-bleedingly clear quality, it's nice to have a higher quality but we are talking about a four, almost five, year old game on a console.

White Dragon what would you be using to record the S-Video by the way.

Lost Odyssey definitely doesn't look that bad at SD resolutions, but I downscaled it from 720p during my attempt sooo it might be different? This is just assuming screenshots though.

It'd be a giant pain in the ass to do seeing as it wasn't translated into English (and the fan-translation is in development hell) but I've always wanted to see an SSLP of the original Megami Tensei for the Famicom. It's one of the most legendary series of JRPGs and it'd be awesome to see how it all began.

From what I hear, it's with mazes that make Strange Journey seem loving and kind. But I also want to see for myself.

It's probably closer to If.... than some of the later games, from what I've heard: not horrendously dickish, but the dungeons can be horribly tedious. It's still painful, but it'[s a different kind of pain.

Too bad the Kyuujaku Megami Tensei translation hasn't/won't be finished since it's the two first MegaTen games in one game on the superiour SNES, like the Shin Megami Tensei games.

When I was 15 or so I went back to that game and it wouldn't recognize my voice. The recognition software is designed to recognize a child's voice, so if you up your pitch it would work better. An important note for anyone who decides to do the LP.

Another thing related to Maxwell Adams: according to the Master List he did Contra, but it's not archived. Really the whole Contra series is sort of neglected, which is surprising to me.

I am in the process of doing Journey. I have my vids done but this is my first time doing a LP and so the learning curve of video editing has walloped me in the butt.

Ideally I will have the first vid up by the end of the holiday weekend and the rest will follow over the following week.

This is more of a Sandcastle style thing, but is the game that short? You can spread out your videos over the course of a lot longer than a week. Get a few ready in advance, then release them over time. Use them as a buffer for editing the next few videos. It will allow you to take your time and do a much more quality job with each video rather than trying to cram an entire VLP edit in to one week.

Technically, there are 8 separate levels that take from 10-20 minutes each, on average. My plan is to do the first 6 separately and the last 2 + credits linked because separating them would lessen the emotional impact of the endgame.

I have it all recorded. The vids don't need a lot of work, from what I can see. The raw vids look and sound great. I don't plan on doing a commentary because there isn't a lot to say and even that is pretty obvious to the viewer and can be written into the threads posts. I do plan on commenting on a few bonus vids once the main game is done.

So apart from the bonus videos, what exactly puts the "Let's" in this "Let's Play"? It sounds more like a combo of "You Watch" and "You Tubedump," if you're planning on shoveling all the videos out in a week with no commentary.

That's a very good point. Journey has nothing that requires any feedback. The game is completely linear. There is no character creation or customization. It's very short. All of the typical lets play tropes do not apply. In fact there are already Lps on YouTube. I watched one that had commentary on a first play through and the only part of that commentary that I felt added anything was the wonder and joy that the author expressed. There really isn't much to explain at all. The small bits of gameplay devices are obvious and can all be explained in a couple sentences.

But what it really comes down to is that I feel commentary takes away from the game. And as I said, the bonus stuff will have commentary.

I ask, do you know the game and disagree?

No, I don't know the game. What I'm saying is right now it sounds like a minimal-effort LP masked behind "but the game is art!" where your big plan is to drop all seven total videos for the main playthrough in one week and hope that the videos will spark discussion because people who haven't played this amazing game will be amazed by how amazing the amazing game is.

It worked pretty well for flower and I'm pretty sure baldurk could've commented and edited the crap out of that game if he wanted to. It just wouldn't add anything and detract from the atmosphere.

I haven't played Journey and I don't know how similar it is to flower or their other games, but thatgamecompany's general schtick is that they make pretentiously artsy media experiences. For instance, their description of flower is that it's "[their] video game version of a poem, exploiting the tension between urban bustle and natural serenity. Player enters various flower's dreams to transform the world." Journey is "an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s" which sounds equally uncommentable but might still be worth showing off to people who don't have access to the platform .

And it is arguably the most decorated game of 2012. It won a slew of awards, including many best of year, any platform. I should have my OP ready for the sandcastle later today.

And I resent the (Gildersneeze) comment about it being minimal effort. This is all new to me and I have spent hours and hours this week learning how to record, edit, encode and all of that just to get a simple 10 minute video done. I've gone from knowing nothing about any of this stuff on Monday to having my first video hidden on youtube, ready to go. I assure you, this is not minimal effort.

If ever there were a game that needed to be seen it is this one. At the same time if there ever were a game that was perfect for a rookie to get his feet wet, it is also this one.

Watch Geop's LP of Shadow of the Colossus. That's another game generally listed when people bring up the old Ebert "video games aren't art" dead horse, and he adds subtitled commentary that makes the LP a bit more of an experience than just watching the game without detracting from the game. It's a good example for you, anyway. A gameplay video without commentary isn't a Let's Play, and is likely to get you banned from most video hosts.

Resent it all you like, and I really hate to break this to you as bluntly as I'm about to, but you've learned to capture, cut down into chunks, encode, and upload a gameplay video to youtube. By definition, this is the minimum amount of effort it takes to make videos of a game watchable by people on the internet. You're not adding any sort of commentary, you're hoping watching the videos will spark discussion on the game (which leads me to believe your posts per level are going to be pretty minimal, as well), and you are still trying to cram the whole shebang into a two week affair (I'm counting the week you spent learning to make videos ).

I could say the exact same thing about games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong for their contribution to the history of video games and their inherent simplicity making it easy for a new person to wade into the pool.

Edit: basically, there's no rush. Even if someone else LPs it, it's not against the rules to LP it as well. Slow down, learn some more, do more than the bare essentials. Besides, the game's been out a while and no one's stepped up yet (besides yourself). If the game's amazing as you make it out to be, take the time to do it justice.

I have been working on doing all the main games, SoR1/2/3 and Remake for some time (and showing the Game Gear/Master System versions), but work and other millions videogames to play has taken time out of that.

The idea was to have at least 2 runs for each game (probably more), one Coop and one Singleplayer on Very Hard. That implies random shenanigans and various European accents in the Coop runs, and more of a skill/boss abuse showcase for the Solo runs. Also, showing characters, paths and interesting trivia when applicable, especially for 3 and Remake. I also had some challenges ideas, but not sure how that could work in practice.

You'll surely see a test post around when I get around to actually do it.

Most people would probably agree that a ww1 shooter would be pretty boring, trench warfare doesn't make for exciting action sequences.
But what if it takes place in 1964. WW1 has lasted for 50 years and is showing no sign of slowing down in Iron Storm.
A 2002 shooter by 4X Studios, its first game, it gives the player a look at a world where the world economies are all tied into the world war.

Wiki posted:

Instead of the Great War ending in 1918, it was continued for almost half a century, with the battlelines drawn down Europe's center in 1929 shifting little for either side for the next several decades. As the USWE could no longer independently contribute to the war, the Alliance army was introduced into the American stock market, allowing private investors to speculate on the lives of the soldiers who carried on the war. The outcome of the war now depended almost entirely on the economy of the Alliance's member nations.

A vlp would be awesome for this game, I would do it myself but I am handicapped when it comes to the technical bits... also the commentary part. Actually all of the bits.

I played this game when it first came out and I loved it. It was buggy, you died when something looked at you to hard (you can actually get one shotted by the first enemy in the game) but I still loved it. And I'm sure whoever takes it upon him or herself to lp this game will as well.

It came up in one of Skippy Granola's streams last week. If anyone was going to do an FTL thread (and there's been a lot of people considering it), it'd probably have to be a megathread of sorts, like the Roguelike threads, with several people doing various runs with different ships and so on. There's enough content and the game's random enough for it to work really well.

A Dwarf Fortress-style succession game could be cool. You can transfer profiles pretty easily, and I thought it would be pretty neat to have an overarching narrative in which the Federation is just throwing ship after ship at the rebel fleet.

I'd be curious to see a LP of Deathlord. It's an 80s Ultima inspired RPG that had an insanely high difficulty curve.

You know, since nobody in their right mind would fulfil my earlier request (to LP a Yu-Gi-Oh title with no card games in it (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-v.gif))

Y'know, I rather enjoyed that game for what it was, but I can't think of a way to make it interesting to watch.

That's certainly an issue. Even as a SSLP with gifs of the more interesting-looking attacks, it would be rather difficult to make later stages interesting.

Request: A subtitled atmospheric LP of the Fatal Frame series. After Egomaniac's LP of 2 ages back I've always been interested in the series, but I'm absolutely shit with horror games. I'd love to see similar takes of 1+3 (and maybe an updated version of 2 minus that damn inserted jump scare)

Jamesman did an awesome LP of the first one http://lparchive.org/Yakuza/ and I think he started the second but I'm not sure if he ever finished it or not, as it's not on the archive site.

The first LP is indeed awesome. I contributed to it too! (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-toot.gif)

Jamesman sadly had to drop his LP of the second game, and there have regrettably been no signs of revival.

Not to be a dick, but would that really be a good idea? There is a lot of plot carry-over and spoilers for the previous games in 4, so an LP of would basically ruin large parts of 2 and 3 for anyone who has not played them.

That said there is naturally nothing forcing people to follow a LP, so anyone who does not want to be spoiled can just ignore the thread. I just feel it is a bit like starting with Return of the Jedi for your Star Wars retrospect.

Kaboom Dragoon @ Jan 30, 2013 13:19
I think (and I'm probably wrong here) that Dead Souls is the only Yakuza game that isn't built heavily on the previous games. And even that has a lot of call-backs and references to the older titles. The entire series is built on each previous game to a ludicrous amount.

Fat Samurai @ Jan 30, 2013 13:24
Also this which is a spin off of the Yakuza series. It's set on 17th century Tokio, but many of the characters are alternate earth equivalents of themain characters in the series. Egomaniac has done a wonderful LP of it, translating the entire bloody game and explaining a lot about the setting to boot.

That's probably the best you're going to get, because people generally do not do VLPs of visual novels.

I know there is an (yet) unfulfilled request for the Sega Saturn version of Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun, but as both titles are recently re-released, it should be interesting to see video LPs of Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun on Xbox.

Both games are well-acclaimed shmups with impressive gameplay and graphics even in the original release, and deserve to be shown off. The re-release should make it easier for LPers to find and further improve the graphics and music.

I want someone to suffer play through Mark Leung : Revenge of the Bitch for the PC. I'm okay with either a screenshot and/or video LP of this abomination game. Basically it is a parody of old school JRPGs with a horrible taste of comedy that depends on references and edgy humor. The game barely functions with crashing being a common occurrence, barely audible or zero sound during game-play, and terrible pop-up. The actually combat is uninspired, boring and offensively terrible. As brought up earlier the humor is terrible despite the fact it is the main focus and crutch of the game. This is one of the few indie games that follows the Command and Conquer school of story telling by having full motion video cut-scenes with hammy acting. The problem is that all the acting and the writing is shit and juvenile making these FMV cutscenes a chore to sit through.

The game is essentially a vanity project for Mark Leung who is famous for the web-series the "College Saga" which the game is a spiritual successor to.

About a year ago FirstAidKite streamed through the entire damn thing.

And for good reason.

There were a few moments near the beginning which provided some entertainment, but it rapidly devolved. The game was so bad, there wasn't even anything to make fun of. As time dragged on, the game was merely being played out of spite. That worked for the streaming format. For video, or screenshot -- if you edited the game down to just "the good stuff", it would be over in 15 minutes.

Koorisch @ Feb 2, 2013 19:58
Any possibility that anyone could do a Let's Play of the indie game Knights of the Chalice?

It's a pretty awesome old-school D&D game with a straight down camera view that allows you to make a party of four characters from three races, which can choose three classes, Knights for frontline duty, Clerics for support/frontline goodness like healing and the Wizards for overpowering magic to wreck everything and their cat.

This thing is seriously old-school with combat abilities used not very often like grappling, readying for a frontal assault with a spear and other neat things that allows you (and your enemies) a multitude of ways to finish combat and gain sweet, sweet loot and experience to get those precious levels.

This game can be found over at their site, they are apparently making another game so that's interesting!

If I ever buy some sort of recording device and nobody else has done it by then, this is one of the things I am probably going to do. I keep trying to start LPs and losing interest, though, so it may never come to pass.

I always wondered if someone would do a mega LP of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II along with the DLC for both.

I mean, the games are about making choices and dealing with their consequences. Plus, it harkens back to the glory days of Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire...

And the writing's pretty solid, too. Good character interactions and very well done black humor.


Just a thought.

Perhaps in Origins it's got some alright writing, but Dragon Age II is a total mess from almost any standpoint. For that reason, I'd love an LP of II that relentlessly mocks the shit out of it.

The origins thread was pretty cool, but Corridor had RL stuff happen and there were lots of off-topic discussions because it was a bioware game. If it got properly policed, but had the same style as Corridor's I would't mind another one.

Dragon Age 2 would take balls of steel to attempt given the variety of factors surrounding it.

Eh, for me, 2 kinda falls flat without the DLC backing it up...even then, it's still a little short of being amazing.

Don't get me wrong, it's a decent game with well-done character writing and character interaction, as well as an emphasis on choices and their consequences, but the combat...looks a bit bland from the gameplay videos I've seen (and that's not saying much, given that I haven't seen a lot of gameplay videos, but then again, there it is...).

Still, this is all just my opinion. I prefer the Dragon Age series simply because of how darkly humorous the dialogue is.

Balls of steel meaning that the thread would be terrible unless the op was on the ball with locking the thread. 1: It's a bioware game, 2: Almost nobody like DA 2, and 3: goons are terrible.

Speaking of DA and good writing and bad gameplay, I really want to see a let's play of the 360 version of the Game of Thrones game. Written by GRR Martin himself, with other writers too, by all reviews it is a good story and good writing. Having played half an hour of it, I can tell you it's pretty much a Dragon Age mod that reskinned it to make it Night Watch instead of Grey Wardens but removed most of the good bits of gameplay.


So, you know, I would kill to see someone play it. And, yeah, I'd love to do it myself, but I have no reliable way of recording from my xbox.

YES! I absolutely loved this game when it came out and the fact its received virtually no attention in the years since makes me sad.

At the very least, it's a great game to look at, for the backgrounds and enemies alone.

Some of the stuff in that game was creepy as fuck, kinda amazed that they were allowed to put some of that into the game to be honest!

I've been following an off-site screenshot/hybrid LP of DA:O for a while now. Other than the screenshot size being ridiculous, it wasn't too bad and did a good job of showing off all possible options for all situations so far, even the different origins. Even started with showing off DA:Journeys. So I'm wondering if a screenshot LP wouldn't be the way to go? Unless you count all the voice acting as something too important to miss out on?

Wow, I had never heard of this before, but the older x-com games are great so I looked it up and holy shit, that looks awesome. I would love to try this if I can find it and get it running, after I'm done with the System Shocks. I see it's not on GOG but looks like amazon has a few copies of it for relatively cheap. Does it play like the older x-coms? I don't think I ever played Apocalypse so I'm not sure how different that one is from the first and terror from the deep.

Everything happens in realtime, so it's a lot more fast-paced. It's far less tactical than the X-COM games, since there's not really much in the way of research and development. It's more similar to the XCOM reboot, in that you have to pick your fights and manage your resources, since you often aren't able to tackle every mission on a map at a given time. Like I said, the gameplay itself is kinda samey, but the mood and the atmosphere is amazing: there's people constantly moaning and screaming for help in the background, the areas are filled with grotesque structures and at the end of the first chapter even your HUD gets corrupted, taking on a sickly colour scheme and mutating to a different form.

All of that sounds really fun and right up my alley, plus the art style looks gross, creepy, and amazing all-in-one. Ever since the XCOM reboot I've been super interested in tactical games of any kind, but have been hard pressed to find many I really enjoy. A whole lot of if's, but if I can get this game and make it work on win8 and if someone else hasn't started an LP of it by the time I'm done with the SS games, I'd love to do it.

JetGrind @ Feb 8, 2013 00:13
I would like to see a LP of MadWorld for the Wii if possible. I'm trying to see more of Platinum Games, and MadWorld has the most interesting art style of their games so far so that seems like a good place to start.

I asked about this in the LP Recommendation thread but I guess nobody there knew of any good examples offhand so I suppose I'll go ahead and make a request, if someone feels like doing so, of the Killzone series for the PS2 (Killzone) and PS3 (Killzone 2 and 3). There's also a game for the PSP as well, sort of a three-quarters tactics game I believe, but, y'know, I'm not super picky, I'll take what I can get. The first game is in the unfulfilled requests queue, so I hope I'm not breaking any rules by seconding that recommendation and adding the rest of the series as well.

Why I'm interested: One of my favorite sorts of LPs to watch is of games that are neither incredibly excellent or incredibly (and amusingly) terrible but exist somewhere in the vast, sprawling middle of mediocrity, which is where my experience playing the first Killzone and subsequent reviews of the sequels suggests the series lies. It's not like the Killzone franchise is exactly obscure, but every video LP I've found of the games is either of poor video quality or accompanied by an extremely annoying commentator that actively detracts from the experience, and my experience with Something Awful's LP board is that the standard of quality here is fairly high.

I remember when the first Killzone was being developed and magazines (back when those were still a thing) were touting it as a Halo killer. My own personal play experience with it suggested that they were incredibly wrong on that score, but somehow it gained enough support to become something of a flagship property of Sony's and I would frankly love to know why and how. Clearly they believe that there's something to the franchise and so I'd love it if a talented FPS-minded goon or goons felt like showing off the saga of the Intergalactic States of America versus the British Space Nazis so we could see for ourselves.

Killzone 3 is one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played. I still wish I had a PS3 with a Move stick to play the multiplayer again. So awesome.

As for requests: Can someone do Penny Arcade On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episodes 1 and 2? They're pretty short, but I ask because I'm doing Episode 3 soon as continuation of my LPs of Zeboyd Games' indie titles. They're working on Episode 4 as well, and even though Episode 3 contains a few references (nothing huge) to the previous games, it'd be nice to have them run concurrently if possible.

If the Giant Bomb quick look of the HD collection is anything to go by, Killzone 1 is more to the "incredibly shitty" side of the equation.

Confession: the last time I played Killzone was...let's see, it came out in 2004 so it would be about eight or nine years ago, give or take. I remember my own impression was "man, this game is awful" for any number of reasons I could get into here if it wouldn't be off-topic and cause slowbeef to glance disapprovingly in my direction, but that was eight or nine years ago and I have no idea how much of the shittiness I perceived is simply due to my own faded recollections of a time gone by. So I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt unless/until some hapless goon shows everyone that I'm actually completely correct in every way.

I have no idea what the sequels are like though, I just remember that early trailer movie for Killzone 2 that pretty much everybody but die-hard Playstation fanatics realized was way, way better looking than the actual game could hope to live up to.

AMReese @ Feb 9, 2013 05:28
Two games I want to request.

The first is State of Emergency, which I'm sure a lot of people played but I want to see someone, perhaps a group LP of it, have fun with it.

Secondly, the game Quarantine. It's pretty much Crazy Taxi meets Carmageddon. Pick up people and kill others.

KittyEmpress @ Feb 11, 2013 02:53
I'd like to request someone LP one of two games,

Viva Piñata or it's slightly enhanced sequel, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise. Both are for the Xbox 360.

These games are... Piñata raising simulations, where you run a garden full of living Piñatas, working your way up in tools and types of creatures.

It failed to sell very well as it was extremely cutesy and childish looking, yet was too difficult for a child to actually play.

It's not the hardest simulation game, as it's for the 360, but it's probably the best designed console Sim game since back when MAXIS made them.


I think the game would work well as either form of LP, and have no preference.

The original Viva Piñata also came out on the PC but it uses Games for Windows Live, so there is also that alternative if people want to try and get that terrible service to work.

Mega64 @ Feb 11, 2013 10:38
How about something from the Guitar Hero or Rock Band series?

Seems impossible, but I'm thinking there's several ways to do it and make it actually interesting. Going into it from the angle of a guitar expert, explaining the various concepts and going into what techniques are important/unique to a song, or going into just why that particular song was likely chosen to be in the game. I think a music expert who's good at the game could really turn the game into something very informative, even educational. You could do two runs of a song per video, the second being the entire run uninterrupted. Hell, the first run might even be screenshot if you really want to go into detail, though that would need a ton of context to really work properly, so video would be better.

Of course, it'd still end up a bit chaotic, but I think there's potential to end up making something awesome with the right know-how and a lot of effort (probably too effort to really be worth it, but hey).

Smornstein @ Feb 11, 2013 17:39
I'd really like to see an LP of Icewind Dale since the second one was LPed but not the first. One of my few complaints about the game is that computer generated party characters start at level 11 whereas if you just make a full party from scratch they're all level 1 making the first part of the game either incredibly hard or a cake walk.

Yeah, a LP of Icewind Dale 1 and Heart of Winter could be cool, since it's one of my favorite D&D games, next to Baldur's Gate and Planescape!

I have been planning a sort of meatgrinder LP of Icewind Dale for ages. Have one canon party that goes through the game and develops the story, and one non-canon party of goon-created characters on Hardcore being slaughtered by the dozens and removed from the party on death. Basically I want to see what kind of crazy characters goons can create and then immediately get to work on killing them in interesting ways.

Since I am way busy in the foreseeable future, please steal my idea and make a great LP, thank you in advance.

I like the idea, but I see the way you described it working better with Rocksmith or Bandfuse, after it comes out. There's not much to the actual gameplay of guitar hero and rockband to show off, so it'd basically be "I'M PLAYIN THIS REAL GOOD GUYS" + the unlockables and characters. If Rocksmith had the dumb characters and dress-up and shit Guitar Hero and Rockband did, that'd probably work better, but ultimately I don't really think it'd work here. You'd either have to be crazy funny or smart as hell and pull the game apart to show how rythm games work or something. I'd definitely check out a well done LP of Rocksmith if someone figured out how to do one that wasn't just a high score reel.

I think the better option would be Guitar Freaks instead of Rock Band/Guitar Hero, considering the impact the game has had, not to mention the wide range of songs it has (though barely any of them are American).

I'd like to add another request. Calling was an interesting Wii game I saw, though it got mixed reviews.

There's already a general discussion thread where Play-By-Forum games are announced, and a forum where those games are played, though there aren't many going on right now since most of the vets are burned out from the game.

At any rate, running a game here wouldn't work that well since there's already a forum for it, unless it was over Skype on VASSAL as part of a general board game LP thread (which is something I'd love to do in the very distant future, if only to show off the hobby proper to a new group of people).

There are several ways to play board games online. The most available way is through a program called VASSAL, though a lot of modules have a crappy interface and can be sluggish to play. There's also websites like BrettSpielWelt and BoardGameArena with certain games. And of course there's the Board Game thread if someone wants to recruit a few people who knows what's going on.

There's a ton of resources to do it, and I think a board game thread would be a wonderful idea to raise awareness of modern-day board gaming and lead to some fantastic and potentially hilarious videos. Consider this a request for a board game LP thread.

Pretty much, except we'd have more freedom to choose games that may be too complex or fiddly to work on Tabletop. Some board games can take several hours and have a lot of secret information, and while such things wouldn't work on Tabletop, I think they could work well in a LP format, like ending a video with a sudden Cylon reveal of a game of Battlestar Galactica (one game I'd definitely want to see played in such a thread).

It's about a paramilitary ninja in modern times, chopping up a mutant infestation in a city with lots of over-the-top QTEs and stuff.

How cool is it? Well...let's just say that true ninja need no parachutes. EVER.

Maybe not quite as much as Rhythm Heaven's stuff but there is some at least.

The main issue is that it's for the 3DS, and apparently iOS too? Either way, it seems like it'd be hard(ish) to record but not entirely impossible.

Maybe not quite as much as Rhythm Heaven's stuff but there is some at least.

The main issue is that it's for the 3DS, and apparently iOS too? Either way, it seems like it'd be hard(ish) to record but not entirely impossible.

Related to this: I'm seriously considering getting that one guy's 3DS capture board in order to LP Fire Emblem Awakening (obviously, I'd wait for the three months to be up). I also don't want to drop $257 on the procedure and step on someone else's toes if someone else has already lost their financial sense done so in order to LP Awakening, because I know some people have mentioned the possibility of doing so.

If anyone else doesn't do it, I'd be happy to, and I think I'd be glad to do Rhythm Thief to cut my LP teeth on and show it off because yeah, it's a pretty cute game.

frozentreasure @ Mar 1, 2013 05:38
Considering it's Fire Emblem, you could always have a look and see if 3DS emulators exist, since you'd most likely be doing it in screenshot form, right?

Wild Knight @ Mar 1, 2013 05:50
Yeah, it'd definitely be screenshot, but reports on 3DS emulation seem to be...really sketchy at the moment. There's one site that claims to have a working one but I'm not convinced it's not just a virus or that it'd play Awakening, and even if it did work I doubt I'd be able to show off the DLC or the wireless features.

frozentreasure @ Mar 1, 2013 05:57
Oh, wow; last time I went to that site it didn't have links that led to any other pages; and one link to an emulator that was supposed to be real was broken on a different site.

Still, you're right about the DLC stuff. Well, whoever ends up dropping the cash for the capture board, have fun with it!

Forgall @ Mar 2, 2013 08:08
I'm surprised there aren't any LPs of Xenoblade Chronicles. Going by the thread in Games goons seem to really like it, and it's been almost a year since US release.

frozentreasure @ Mar 2, 2013 08:39
As I understand it, it's not a small game. It's been awhile, but it would probably still be a bit of an undertaking to do a full LP of it.

Lethemonster was doing one, but she had to stop due to real life. That also requires archives to see.

But yeah, the sheer amount of work involved makes doing a Xenoblade LP a pretty difficult thing. It IS a game where the average playthrough could be a 90 to 100 hours or so...

frozentreasure @ Mar 2, 2013 08:57
Chatting to my brother-in-law, he tells me that the main story isn't that long; probably not too much over a typical JRPG. It's just all the side stuff that apparently makes it so huge.

For what it's worth, Maple Leaf had his 3DS modded in order to get capture card abilities. His Kid Icarus Uprising LP looks excellent, so you could definitely screenshot your way if you do what he did.

The Tropico 3 thread was pretty entertaining back in the archive but would it be worth it for someone to do a demonstration of the campaign of Tropico 4? I thought it was actually pretty funny, all things considered, and if they're worried that it doesn't do enough different gameplay from 3, they could do the Modern Times expansion which mixes a lot of things up.

I've been planning my next LP and the Overlord series is on my short list of possible games. There's a lot about the format that I haven't decided on, so I can't say it will happen soon.

I know, that's what I was talking about. (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-v.gif) I was mostly asking if anyone else who might have shelled out for the board was planning on LPing Awakening, because if no one hadn't yet, I'd be willing to take that plunge.

Yes actually. Since I seem to have a hard-on for games with morality systems. Overlord 1 was up in the air as there is already an lp of it, but 2 was a certain thing at some point.

That's fairly typical for a JRPG. If you took out all the side stuff, they'd probably be around 25-40 hours long each. The sole exception I can think of is the Persona series.

frozentreasure @ Mar 3, 2013 05:10
I'd figured as much myself, but the way I heard most people talking about playing Xenoblade made it seem like it was somehow different, like maybe the main story itself was stupid-long before you even got to the side stuff.

Oh god, no. The side stuff starts being available like an hour or so into the game. In fact, Xenoblade is really fucking good at just letting you tackle the side stuff when you want to.

I think I actually got an hour into the game; I got to the first city and stopped, but that was so long ago it'd probably do me more good to just restart my game now. But that's probably getting too off-topic now.

Okasvi @ Mar 3, 2013 20:24
Considering the amount of CYOA gamebook LP:s that have been made, has Heart of Ice been LP:d yet? At least the forum search didn't turn up anything. If not, it's pretty good.

Well it seems like the reason he stopped posting on SA was due to him feeling pressure from whatever 'standards' the forums have. I certainly do still enjoy his LP's (otherwise I wouldn't know about LP's he's done recently), but I got the impression he felt some stress from posting on here. No idea why really; maybe it's like why Raocow doesn't post his LP's on here anymore?

I've pretty much settled by this point on Homefront being the subject of my next LP. I feel that I should point out nice and early - right here and now - that I'm making a conscious effort to steer clear of "political" commentary, and focusing instead on how the gameplay and story-telling are ineffective on their own.

Nah, this is the request thread, not the sandbox, and I knew you were speculating rather than proposing doing it yourself.

How long will you spend talking about how John Milius was hired to "write the script" for the game? From what I've read the studio basically pulled the stories of their previous game and Red Dawn into a terribly broken mess of a game.

And while we're at it why not add Wii RPG game Pandora's Tower?
We had a Xenoblade LP, we have currently a Last Story going on; let's put a nail into Operation Rainfall once and for all-

For those who don't know, Project Zomboid is that Zombie game that is currently in development that's trying to be ALL survival and trying to have as little as possible to do with combat.

If I find a spot to mention that during an episode, it seems like something I could talk about for maybe 2 minutes? Honestly, I prefer commenting more about gameplay and bad design choices rather than the backstory behind games as I play them. This article does a solid job of chronicling the game's development / "the very marginal role of John Milius." I'd be content just posting said article in the OP, and leaving it up for discussion in the thread.

That seems like a better idea than not. That angle of the background for this game always amazed me. Hire a washed up Hollywood writer to consult on your game that scripts like you couldn't get the rights to said writer's most loved work.

Then you fill the game with every cliche in the book, put QR codes in levels and hope multiplayer keeps it all alive. It is a complete mess.

I had nearly forgotten about this game but saw a used copy in a store over the weekend, and now I'm curious to see it. I heard it was kind of unfairly put down by many for being a roguelike without coming out and saying it.

Kung-Fu Jesus @ Mar 11, 2013 16:42
I'm pretty sure (after playing it for a couple hours) that it was fairly put down, like a neighbor's dog who has bit you (heh, my word against the family with too much shit in their yard and 20 little troglodyte kids) and is now a "menace" whose murder is justified.

I'd like to see an LP prove me wrong though.

Lethemonster @ Mar 11, 2013 16:48
I'll be redoing Xenoblade Chronicles once I get my hands on my game disc again. Just gotta wait a couple of weeks before I can go home for a holiday. It should be super snazzy this time round, now I know what I'm doing.

I won't begrudge anyone else who starts one, but I will hunt you down.

In a non-begrudging way.

I have the other two Rainfall games too but by god is XC by far the best of the three. Pandora's Tower is so simple and short that I was going to put it in with XC as part of my chat about JRPGs and what games we actually get over here.

Kytrarewn @ Mar 11, 2013 19:01
It'd be interesting to see if someone could do a playthrough of The Secret World. Unlike some of the other recently proposed LPs of MMORPGs, TSW works as a pretty damned good plot-driven single player game with a pretty interesting skill system and fun mechanics to break. If possible, it might best be done by three players, one for Dominion, one for Illuminati, and one for Templars, concurrently with different sorts of builds, as different weapons function in very different ways.

I really don't knowm entirely how the organization might work, but it would probably prove one of the better candidates for "MMORPG as LP", right alongside TOR.

It's also written by Ragnar Tornquist, the fantastic writer behind The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, as well as the upcoming Dreamfall: Chapters. It's definitely a very interesting take on modern-world-blended-with-magic.

It's really more of a Zelda game than it is a JRPG, but that's neither here nor there. And since it took about 13 hours, that sounds like it speaks to the length of XC. I still haven't played more than an hour of XC, so if you restart the LP, I may very well find myself following it, if not trying to play along.

Yeah, as one of the dozen or so people who enjoyed it, it's a fun timesink, but as much as it has in common with roguelikes, it doesn't have enough in common with them, so it gets really repetitive really quickly. A VLP would require you to edit out a good 80-90% of everything past the first major dungeon assault and a SSLP would quickly devolve into 'here's some neat stuff I found/lookit this cool monster/here's the next cutscene'.

Fantastic OST though, cannot rate it highly enough.

I meant "unfair" as in "got put down for doing things that roguelikes do". For example I read one review that straight-up said "it's ridiculous that the game forces you to quit out every time you save your progress", without realizing why that is. I might be thinking of a different console roguelike though, it was definitely a PS2 game. But I didn't play Baroque so I'll defer to people who did for the final say.

I played it (haven't finished it, though) it's an interesting game that suffers from taking way too long to get things moving. If there was a bit more direction to it, it would be an okay rougelike with an interesting setting. As it is, it's way too obtuse to be fun for anybody but the most masochistic of players.

An LP of it would be good, but it would have to be done by somebody who knows the game inside and out.

Not to dissuade anyone who might be interested in doing this, because a well-done LP of it could be excellent, but an LP of Ni no Kuni would be an absurd amount of work.

To start off, there's something along the lines of a 30-45 minute intermission which the player manages to slog through on the strength of reviews of the game that assure him that it is a great game.

So much of the charm of the game comes from the voice-acting of one particular character, and yet large segments of the game are unvoiced and better suited to an SSLP. Additionally, the transitions between voiced and non-voiced sections aren't always 100% clear.

Not to mention that the combat tends toward being rather the same from one fight to the next, and that it's easy enough to trivialize the whole game just with an extra 20 minutes of grinding at the right time in the game.

I just can't really think of a format in which it would really work horribly well to display the game at its best and retain viewer interest at the same time.

You do a SSLP with supplementary videos. This is not an enigma. And you're fucking up if you do it any other way.

The main content difference between factions are what mission completion text they receive as far as I can tell. There are a handful of faction missions but it sounds like at least the first one of those is essentially the same mission for each faction with some minor substitutions. So I'm not convinced that it would work very well to have three separate playthroughs for the three factions, though one playthrough with commentary from three different factional characters might work (albeit at the cost of a great deal of effort on the LPer's part or still requiring the enlistment of other players).

Soul Reaver @ Mar 14, 2013 21:16
I guess it's kind of selfish, but I would love to see someone do a LP of To the Bitter End.

It's a single-player action/RPG mod for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, took over six years to make, and was made by a goon - namely myself. It uses entirely original characters, setting and plot, and pretty much all units and abilities are custom.

It's about a group of superhuman, immortal heroes from various universes fighting to free another universe from the tyrannical rule of another group of equally superhuman immortals.

The scale of the game's battles and the pace of the action ramp up steadily with each Chapter. Unlike most Warcraft III RPGs, this is a fast-paced, combat-oriented game. There's no grinding or item collecting. It's also difficult (though there is a difficulty level feature to make it a bit easier if that becomes really necessary) and a fair amount of microing is needed. It's a short-moderate length game (probably about 6 hours?). I like to think that while the central plot seems pretty straightforward at first glance, there's more depth than there first seems and there are a couple of decent twists.

I've often thought of maybe doing an LP of it myself, but I've got no experience creating LPs and honestly I'd really like to see how it plays from the perspective of someone who hasn't been working on it for six years.

Here's a youtube video of the intro cinematic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHePZCExwY

There's also a lot of background info on the setting and characters in the wall-of-text manual on the official site, though this is mostly flavour text and is not strictly needed to play or understand the game.

Who says it has to be one or the other? Have one group go in blind for about 4-5 hours, then have somebody who knows the game do a well-organized run to show off "here's how you do it."

Deceased Crab did a video-LP of Shadowrun (SNES) which was obnoxious, and also video of text.

There's no LP curse, but there is a finished LP that was on the forums before: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81EF72708BA313B1

I feel though that if someone feels like making a new one than they're more than welcome to. I don't know if screenshots could really convey the insanity effects that well though.

I've only made it through part of the opening sequence so far, but already there are a couple things to watch out for:

The game audio is too low during the cutscene, which is only exacerbated by having you talk over it. While this doesn't exactly look like a plot heavy game it would still be nice to know what we're getting into. If the game has a subtitle option turn that on. It seems like you're doing the commentary after recording, which means most of the issues so far can be fixed fairly easily.

Edit: You seem to have played the game before, so even if this isn't an informative LP it would still be nice to explain the scoring system and such in the first video. Overall the video itself was fine. It looked good, there weren't any real editing fixes you would need to do (save for maybe removing that picture of the basket from that cutscene), but you will probably want to fix the audio issues above.

Thank you so much for the reply, I don't get much on youtube heh.

First off; I haven't played this game actually, though it may appear that way in this part. It's because i played the tutorial before i decided to start recording, just to see what the game was about. I'm learning and explaining the game just as its played. Sadly this game does not have a subtitle option(just a choice of english and spanish VA). Wow, you have a good ear for re-recordings, only the parts at the beginning were post recorded.


I'll fix the cutscene audio as soon as posible and maybe have the picture of the basket be put in a corner and not obstructing the story? I wish youtube would let me easily "replace" the video instead of deleting and re-uploading.

I would wait before you put in the work on this, others will have different opinions. I suggest auto ducking the cutscene audio slightly less if you still have it and still want to talk over the opening scene. I would also point out somewhere that you are figuring this game out as you play. It doesn't seem like a major statement, but in a thread it will cut down on questions you can't answer about how the game works.

It's usually a good idea to upload test posts as unlisted, because there's a good chance you'll have to change something before it goes live. Once you're good to go it's always possible to switch them from Unlisted to Public, which treats it as if you'd just uploaded the video and broadcasts it any subscribers as "new".

I'm sorry to ask but, whats "auto ducking"? I tried looking around google but couldn't find a straight answer.

It's a function in Audacity that let's you lower the volume of one audio track based on the volume of another.

Also, I just realized this is the request thread, not the Sandcastle. This should probably go in the Sandcastle.

One or more audio track dips lower to allow another to play. In games it almost always happens during a conversation/audio log/radio message or something like that.

Actually I have two more Ribbit king and a few LOZ windwaker parts in unlisted.
Usually i overlook a video a few times before uploading to unlisted, i assume
its a final product at that point.

As a final comment on this matter (just to stop the clutter here). I've ducked the audio, added that "i haven't played before", and dropped the focus of the picture. I can't upload it until noon tomorrow after that I'll be moving over to Sandcastle to see how that video is.

I'm not sure if this has been said since the last LP of it was abandoned, but seeing as it was, I'd like to see someone LP Fate/Extra. There have been multiple test posts and at least one thread, but I don't think anybody's actually finished the game, probably because it's suppose to be really grindy. But as a PSP-less Fate fan who's not really in a position to get a used one at the moment, I'd appreciate it if someone took it up.

Speedball @ Apr 9, 2013 03:16
God, I never actually finished Fate/Extra myself. Not for hating the story, actually the writing was pretty good. The combat gimmick just got a tad repetitive after a while. Yeah, I'd love to see a full LP of it.

There was one going a few months ago, but the LP'er just seemed to have abandoned it and disappeared. A shame, as I was following it pretty closely. If the last one was revived or a new playthrough was started, I'd be there.

I feel like Burnout Paradise might make for a fun open-world style LP. Plenty of different sorts of activities, a solid difficulty curve and plenty of open-world challenges to make for an interesting informative LP.

Mostly, I felt like watching someone play it and was very surprised to see that nobody on SA has played it yet (per the master list).

I'd like to see someone tackle Richard Hofmeier's Cart Life. It's a very interesting game wherein you take control of someone running a newspaper stand, but there's a lot more to it than that. Not only does it go for realism (uses a black and white motif instead of something colorful like Lemonade Tycoon), it's also a rather somber game if you play through as Andrus Poder, a Ukrainian immigrant living with an old cat.

Either VLP or SSLP is fine as long as you include the music (which uses chiptune).

RBA Starblade @ Apr 17, 2013 00:49
It's already on the list but X3: Terran Conflict or some other space trader game where the goal is to build a vast empire would be pretty cool to watch (or read, SS/hybrid might work best for it). I own the game myself, but I'm not good or patient enough at it to get much more than a single station. Though, unlike Freelancer it's not too interesting to explore and find cool shit, if the expansion Albion Prelude is any indication. The expansion has a dynamic war go on though, so it'd be interesting to try and build a station in a contested sector and see how it goes.

Seconding this. I streamed this the other day and would love to see a full length LP. The game is social commentary on the depressing reality millions of working class people live with daily. The game forces you to make tough choices like whether you want to wait in line to get a work permit or pick up your daughter from school. The job "minigames" are great summaries of minimum wage jobs; some mindlessly repetitive while others stressful and thankless. The game berates you with conflicting messages and themes and generally makes you feel like shit.

A SSLP with a well written narrative (maybe in a diary format?) would probably work best.

SimonChris @ Apr 17, 2013 18:22
I would love to see an LP of Cosmology of Kyoto. Not only does it look really interesting, but it's also the only game ever to get a glowing review from Roger Ebert! That alone gives it historical interest.

Arthur D Wolfe @ Apr 17, 2013 20:04
Cart Life would make for a great LP simply because it was designed from the ground up to not be played. Hofmeier went out of his way to have the game artificially limit and trip you up at every point as part of its message, so having someone else play it for you would be optimal.

I can see why it would be a graveyard, as the game is kind of the concentration of all the worst JRPG attributes. The only thing I really thought was interesting was the combat system, but the frequency of combat turns it into either a rote process or a complete chore in non boss encounters.

I would like to see someone tackle a rather obscure RTS game called WAR Inc. that came out 1997, it's a really rare game in that there is barely any information other than a short FAQ on GameFAQs.

In it you play as Harlan Michael, the newly appointed CEO of the PMC called Granite Corporation, since his predecessor was blown to smithereens due to a surprise attack helicopter outside his office window.

You have to control your own budget, the company gives you five million dollars as a start but that will swiftly go to increasing the research budget or investing on the daily changing stock-market where you will earn the money and even earn special bonuses from buying more than 51% of that stockholders shares that you'll need to survive the increasing strength of the enemies in the campaign, you'll also have to assign which areas your researchers should develop, several options to pick for designing your ultimate killing vehicles or giant killer robots for fun and profit.

This game is so rare you will barely find it outside of Amazon where you can find a few copies for less than 10$, other than that I don't really know where to get it from since it's not on any old game sites like Abandonia or GoG!

All in all it's a pretty amusing game, not quite as good as Command & Conquer or Dune 2 but it has it's charm, if only because you can choose your own units and equipment rather than just getting to pick a limited number like the other RTS games, also it has multiplayer but I don't know if it works anymore since it uses Modem/Serial connections.

Playing Baroque lately, and wondering why no one has tried to make an LP of that yet. It's an obscure Atlus title for both PS2 and Wii that plays like a rogue-like, the story is convoluted but interesting, and the way your equipment shows up on your character is a nice touch. I liken it to Azure Dreams without the monster pets, and both the sound design a unique aspect of it that deserves at least a listen. Here's a video of just the opening, as well as a video showing off the gameplay that follows the intro in the title screen that also includes some bits of the intro as well:

May I just put in my sincere vote of confidence for this? You've got a very good record with games that hold a sentimental note, both in earnest presentation and in taking the piss out of them when it's necessary.

That, combined with the fact that Lost Odyssey is one of those games I want to play, too, but probably won't have the time to in the foreseeable future.

I think Binary Domain could be an interesting playthrough. I know there is an unfinished version in the archives that goes for about half of the game.

There are (supposedly, I have not finished the game yet) a few different ways for the game to proceed/end depending on your actions (how you treat your squadmates and so on.) Perhaps an opportunity to play two different styles a la Bobbin Threadbare's recent playthrough of Alpha Protocol.

Okay, quick question, is Age of Empires II HD subject to the three month rule? It came out fairly recently, but since it's just a remastered re-release of a game that came out 14 years ago, I'm sure if I need to wait to start an LP of it, or not.

Oh, and before anyone asks, no I can't just use the original version of the game. It's old enough where all the colors are screwed up when I try playing it on my laptop. Fallout and Fallout 2 give me the same issues.

I'd actually like to see somewhat of a YDKJ retrospective type LP, in the vein of the Mario Party LP a while back. YDKJ 2011's great, but there's 40+ episodes, and it all blends together after a while.

Has anybody actually played Elona (or now ElonaPlus)? That game seems suitable for this forum...

EDIT: Hmm I managed to find an old general Elona thread so there's that. Someone could still actually show how to complete the main quest in this, and apparently there's an entirely new continent in the Plus version.

Mzbundifund @ Apr 30, 2013 17:24
Agent255 did a roguelikes thread a while ago that had some reader-contributed Elona updates but I think it's fallen into archives now. If I recall they sort of stopped getting updated, but what was there was well done, you could definitely make a full thread out of it.

It'll be a SSLP of course, it's not exciting enough to warrant a VLP plus it would be easier to do with screenshots.

I have seen any scanning the LP Archive or the available pages here.. I think it would be cool to see an extremely competent Crysis LP.. any of them really but perhaps 1 first. There can be some pretty interesting and varied gameplay in those games if you know what you're doing. Story is pretty thin but entertaining enough.

Excellent. You know.. the first mission of Crysis 3 is really disappointing.. not because it was bad but because it's easily one of the best levels in the game. It feels very Metal Gear Solid in terms of how you play it and even aesthetically it's similar to MGS2. I wish there was a Crysis game that had more "room clearing" sections and less roaming huge open spaces killing 3 or 4 guys with ease. I do like the island gameplay in Crysis a whole lot but not as much as the aforementioned "room" levels idea.

Features a (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-catdrugs.gif) design aesthetic, music by Ben Daglish and fast-paced platforming. I've never seen the entire game because it features traps designed to lock you out of certain sections of levels, a timer, respawning enemies and lots of other 80ies video game gotchas. A video LP would be the obvious choice.

Not an SA LP, but a fanatic on Youtube who knows everything about the game beat the entirety of Crysis 1 "Ironman style" i.e. without dying once. His commentary is a bit uneven but I think he does a good job of showing off the game.

I actually considered doing that one along with Arc: Twilight of the Spirits (requested, but as far as I'm aware from lurking not fulfilled so far - and why is it listed as "Arc the Lad"?), but I fear that I'm not funny enough, I'm not a drinker and don't know the series beyond that game.

If none of those are that important, I might see what I can do once my CPU fan gets replaced. But it seems like they are.

Oh it's not important. But whatever you do, please LP Twilight of the Spirits. That game is really good. I wouldn't do Flames of Judgment without playing the other two... sorry, the first game, beforehand.

I'll avoid FoJ then, since there's a lot that I don't know about the series (for the record: I thought it was a decent game in all, though I have no real idea how it fits in - if it does at all - with the rest of the series) but if nobody beats me to it then I'll definitely want to cover Twilight of the Spirits. I'm likely to go with a Hybrid style so there's video when there's voice acting and screenshots for soundless dialoggy bits. At least, that'll be the format I'll go with for SA.

It's a bit of an ask but I think it would be really neat if we could get an LP of Magic the Gathering (probably Online)'s EDH/Commander format with a bunch of goons playing crazy decks. Those 4-player-plus sort of party game LPs have always been a lot of fun to watch (stuff like the Mario Party LP, Worms Armageddon tournaments and all the tabletop RPG LPs) and EDH I've always felt has enough variance and crazy multiplayer shenanigans to warrant the same sort of LP treatment.

The only hard part is building the decks since they can cost a fair bit depending on what you want to run (insert typical good lands are hella expensive talk here), I suppose a budget cap could work if you wanted to put a limitation on deckbuilding. I'm sure if the thread got a good start a lot of people would join too since the Magic threads in the traditional games subforum are super active. Hell, I'd probably build one of my paper EDH decks online if the thread happened.

The modern Ninja Gaiden games still need to be played. I'm hopefuly that someone will finally take up the mantle after the unfortunate sidelining of Grayfawks and eventual abandonment of his Ninja Gaiden megathread. I have little skill when it comes to these games, and I'd like to see a, hopefully, Master Ninja run of them.

I was, at one po8nt consideeing doing Ninja Gaiden 2 because I had pretty fond memories of it from a few years before and had beaten the game 3-4 times doing single weapon runs.

Then I remembered the turtle monsters and the bullshit boss blitz at the end and decided to leave it to a pro.

I'd like to see somebody do Burning Rangers for the Sega Saturn. It's a game about futuristic firefighters that has a great soundtrack, and that's about all I know about it. The premise sounds interesting and I've always wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I'd appreciate somebody giving it a shot.

Has there ever been an LP of The Darkness? I got the 2nd game in a steam sale but I'm hesitant to play it without going through the first first, but it's surprisingly hard to track down. As silly as it sounds I'd really like to experience the first game's story before jumping into this one.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was playing the 360 version but waiting for PC to start an LP. I basically did the same with Papo & Yo, it was only released on PC last month but it had been out for months on PS3.

It's also probably one of those games that, since it was an Arcade release, people don't really think of to LP until it's suggested/requested, though it's a really well-designed game and I would love to see an LP on it. I'd do it, but I really don't think I could do the game justice (especially with my crappy capture equipment).

The thread could have two or more Goons playing Dust: An Elysian Tail in various distinct ways. For example one person could play the game normally while another person basically breaks the game over their knee. The thread can also include speed, 0%, and 100% runs as well. This would probably an interesting and effective way of handling the game for an LP.

Has anyone tried to LP the two Dishwasher games? They're 2d hack n slash games on the XBLA i don't think they ever left XBLA either which is a shame because they're both really good and neither of them is very long i think about 2-3 hours for the first one and a little bit longer for the second.

I would love to see that, too. I translated Contact and never knew Suda51 was behind it. I'm sure I never played it through in the end (so don't ask me to do the LP!).

I've been contemplating doing it my self but I'd love to see someone do a Chrome and/or Chrome: Specforce LP. You know how fucking hard it is to google anything relating to this game, beyond the obvious sites, because of Google Chrome? Regardless, I'd love to see one. I recall it just being a pretty straight forward shooter but it does have looting/inventory in the vein of Deus Ex and System Shock 2.

It'd be a good compliment to OFF. They have a few things in common, the surrealistic mood being the most obvious one.

From what I gather though, Suda didn't really have much to do with the game itself, beyond Grasshopper.

Hey you know about that recent fad where people draw fanart of Pokemon fusions. Well there is this Pokemon fan-game that came out last November where you basically get to use fusion Pokemon.

It is called Pokemon Fusion Generation and it is for the PC. This is an actual game and not a romhack so an emulator is not needed. Since it is an original game it has its own original plot which can be described as "special" because it is glorified fan-fiction. Of course this LP should be done in a screen-shot format.

You can download the game here:http://pokemonfusion.wikia.com/wiki...Generation_Wiki

Here is a trailer for the game:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjSVBJfPHnU

Also the game has this monstrosity.

I'd been planning on doing Exile after I finish my current projects; I might see if I can do the others as well. I've only played 1 and 3 (as a kid, I could not make sense of Riven), so doing it from the beginning would be a good chance for me to educate myself on the series beyond a Wikipedia page.

For the Myst series look no further than Sven Groot's playthroughs on youtube. I know It's not from this forum but I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than him. He goes very in depth with the puzzle logic and lore and ties it all into the events from the novels as well. I cannot recommended them enough.

This would be difficult as well as long. To keep the game fresh and to keep interest, it would require someone willing to write an overarching story as well as a story for their character and all potential companions. I can't see this being done if it's not tool-assisted/editing config + item files either. User Jade Star was playing a modded Mount & Blade module (for fun I think, to show it off?) and it was hours across 10 videos before he had started to really pick it up. Not only that, vanilla M&B can start to get really repetitive and the LPer could quickly get bored.

As an addendum to this to not just shoot down this request, my favorite M&B mod is Prophesy of Pendor and the idea of someone doing some kind of badass story around that would be pretty sweet. Since PoP has a fairly small map, lots of unique, distinct units, random spawns, factions, super armies, and complete backstory all tied up with their own music (even some commissioned from Lind Erebros) it would have a ton of potential. It also features knighthood orders all with their own rivalries and backgrounds and the ability to form your own knighthood even. Since it features the Noldor of Lord of the Rings, there'd be plenty of room for some talk about the Silmarillion, even though the Noldor in PoP are not directly connected to Tolkien's franchise.

It's taking it slow and stumbles around because that's sort of the thing you would do if you've never played the game before. It may be a bit on the slow side, but I prefer that over some other Myst LPs I've seen, which only explore areas like the power generator or log cabin when needed for entry to that age, which I don't really like. Myst is about the exploration and atmosphere and all the subtle hints they put into the game. It speeds up a lot more when getting into the ages and the actual puzzles.

I agree, it's following the right model for a myst LP and it's similar to what I want to do with my future La Mulana Lp. Taking it slow, showing how you figure out the solutions to all the puzzles etc etc. It's just taking it too slow sometimes, and all the commentary is live so we get alot of 'let me stare at this lever and poorly rattle off a phrase full of umms and ahhhs'. Do the exact same thing but just do it in post commentary and have something prepared for what you want to say. You can get the same effect (or better) in far less time.

But like I said it's mostly good stuff and the guy is worlds better than most youtube LPs. There are still some aspects that get on my nerves however.

I've been playing the wonderful old DOS game Fable. It's like a funnier King's Quest that doesn't want to fuck you over every step of the way, but there are still some adventure-game deaths and traps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoMT6r4MvxY

The CD version has voice acting that's not half bad, and the subtitles -- which you'd have to have on if you play the non-cd version because there's no voice acting -- actually get in the way of the graphics because they're so big and obtrusive.

I also think that Fable: The DOS Chapters is a good thread title. I might get around to doing this eventually, but someone who knows more about old-style adventure games may be better suited for an LP of this.

If anyone can tell me how to make this game work, I'll do it as soon as I have the time. I attempted to try it some time ago, but the game crashes constantly in my version of DOSBox, and I'm not aware of it being supported under ScummVM (nor have I actually recorded any games under ScummVM, but I believe I have the technology to do it). Fable is a game that must be watched and should not be played under any circumstances.

Perhaps it would work if I can get my Windows 98 VM to boot into the DOS shell.

Having just got it as part of Groupees' Be Mine 8 bundle, I'd like to see someone show off Fairy Bloom Freesia if they're after a short video LP. It only took a few hours to do story mode on Normal, but I think you could get a decent bit of chatter out of it with a good co-commentator or two.

For the unaware (which is probably almost everyone), it's a Beat-em-up game with hordes of enemies to fight. A fresh game only has Story mode available to begin with, but a separate Guardian mode and higher difficulties for Story mode will unlock after beating it. (Think of Guardian mode as something vaguely akin to All-Star mode in the Super Smash Brothers series.)

If anyone does do it they need to supplement it with the artbook just to show off the huge amount of stuff that got cut due to EA rushing the game out.

I'd like to see the HD remake alongside it, if possible, since the two are so closely connected. There's also an HD mod available for the PC version, if anyone's interested. I've used it myself and it plays pretty damn well.

See I got the original game for free when I bought Madness Returns, but I just can't bring myself to play it for more than five minutes. Quake controls in a 3rd person shooter/platformer are so bad. So bad. The game really didn't age well strictly because of the controls.

I'd totally be down for an LP of Madness Returns, but sadly I do not have the art book.

You mean the PS2 game that was the first European release of the DQ series? Goes under the name of "Journey of the Cursed King"? Huh...guess what other PS2 game I have?

Again, if nobody else takes this game up I'll give it a go, though I'm going to be preoccupied with the Four Job Fiesta and my LP of Arc (the Lad) for a while. If I feel comfortable with taking on another game, I'll add this one to the list.

I recorded a couple videos intending to do one someday, but the levels drag on so long, and I'm not particularly funny or interesting on my own, so I gave up on it.

Recettear is not a short game; it's a grindy, repetitive dungeon crawler. But if you're looking for an LP of it, JamietheD did one and it's only a short 125 videos: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1A10AF2F749D5720

If you play the first week relatively optimally, you will not need to hit the dungeons ever again. In fact, after you get a bit of capital, it's actively suboptimal to run dungeons. The first week of the game, played optimally, might take you 2-3 hours. But after that, the entire rest of the game is only another 5, tops.

The problem, of course, is that this would not show off a large number of the mercenaries you can potentially get, and that would need to be balanced. The organizational challenge prior to starting would be substantial, but after you'd settled on a plan there's no reason why this game wouldn't go very quickly as a SSLP.

Though I personally won't be doing it since I didn't really find that game very fun, and not doing games that I find fun is against my religion or something.

Well yes, if you're going to do the whole entire dungeon then yes, it's lengthy and very repetitive, and I guess any 'real' LP of the game would probably be compelled to show off the whole thing. Thanks for the link, though! That's probably about what I was looking for.

Yeah, I guess most of my experience from the game was from actually talking to Jay and hearing his burnt out disgust with it. I do apologize if I was misinformed or maybe getting a one sided opinion on the matter.

I wouldn't mind seeing/reading a thread from someone who doesn't have an incredibly bitter "it's not Suikoden 6 so it sucks" mindset. Taken on its own merit, it is pretty good and fun albeit a bit shorter than I'd have liked.

They were, this came up a lot as a request when Roboky and I were doing DoW2 and it's something I have an interest in doing eventually, but you could say that about probably 100 other games. Dark Crusade and Soulstorm had Risk-like overworlds, but instead of dice deciding attacks, you'd play a melee map of Dawn of War. The net result was something that was pretty cool until about halfway through the game, and then dreadfully tedious after that. The latter two expansions would probably just be a handful of updates of the 'spice' missions and that's it, which doesn't really show them off that well, nor communicate the experience of playing the game properly. But maybe that doesn't matter.

The original Dawn of War and Winter Assault both kicked copious amounts of ass, though.

Agreed. I give 0 fucks about the rest of the Suikoden series and picked up Tierkreis cos I was desperate for a DS RPG. In that regard, it was a pretty good game. So yes, an LP done by someone who isn't going to do nothing but shit on what is otherwise a fine game would be nice.

I'm surprised that no one has LPed either of the Torchlight games. It'd be best if they could be done with Co-op similar to Fleshweasels' Diablo LP and in the case of Torchlight 2 some off some of the more interesting mods that came out for it.

Considering Torchlight 1 was going for free on GOG earlier this week, that would at least have given a lot of people who enjoyed the second one a chance to play the first. Torchlight 1 is single player, but it does earn it's place even if it's inspired by Diablo (and hence deemed by some as a clone - I personally think it stands alone as a worthy title in itself, without needing to be a clone). Not sure how I would feel on mods for the second, though, as...yeah. Modding community. There's probably a place for TL2 mods elsewhere, I wouldn't mind seeing a run of Torchlight 2 without mods. I have TL2 myself, but I'm both incapable of recording it and, even if I were, I don't think I'd have the talent to lead a video LP of it.

Coolguye @ Jun 21, 2013 03:24
My concern with doing Torchlight would be much like my concern with doing any diablo-likes: what exactly is the hook you're going to use to keep people watching after the first episode? Pretty much every Diablo-style game is the same action, you hit an enemy, it explodes into treats, you go on. The only truly interesting parts end up being bosses with fun gimmicks, and story time. Fleshweasel's D2 LP had a lot of lore talk to keep it going while people rolled through the 50th identical dungeon, but that was only made possible by the fact that there's a surprisingly impressive amount of lore backing Diablo. I'm not sure Torchlight has that at all.

TiamosLoren @ Jun 21, 2013 07:41
Well people experienced with the game could give out details of backstory to Torchlight 1 (there's quite a bit of it if you go through it diligently enough) as they go through, perhaps explaining things between the bosses or even post-boss regarding how they came to be down there, or how they developed and/or how it shaped the level design. Heck, if push came to shove, there could even be comparisons made between the two different versions of Torchlight (PC and Xbox) or even details on criticisms/comparisons other people have made between Torchlight and Diablo (or even other games of it's type). Given some of the team even worked on past Diablo games, it may make for interesting commentary just talking about how the game itself got developed - might be worth the research time for those dedicated enough to pull it off. Or if you're really trying to avoid filler fluff, there's always editing.

As for Torchlight 2...well, it has multiplayer, so there's bound to be mayhem and chaos one way or another if you go the multiplayer route.

I worry that the game is so packed with scenery and little details that they would either have to be obsessed over or only glanced at to make the LP work, neither of which is ideal.

Edit: Hybrid with screenshots of some of the background stuff and lots of little videos of small details could work as well, but that would probably mean both heavy editing and a second, concurrent playthrough.

Yeah, I have to disagree. You could make the same argument for the original Bioshock, and many other games as well. It's okay to not show every tiny detail even if the LP is meant to be informative. And a bunch of tiny videos would be annoying as fuck to watch. An Infinite LP would be fine as just video with an informed player who's able to show off most of the content

The hardest part about showing off anything not in the video (or re-doing mistakes) is the lack of save slots. I'll never understand that - even consoles usually have multiple game saves.

I'm sure it'd be possible to copy the game folder as a backup once in a while, but also a pain in the ass. If I ever touched that I think I'd set up a cron job to copy it at set intervals while I was playing. Super linear games aren't really my forte though - it would be better if someone who really loved it did the LP.

Sundowner @ Jun 26, 2013 12:38
The game does let you access and load every autosave point. It's not as helpful as having exact, manual saves but it's not like you need to restart entire levels most of the time.

Wow, has it really been that long? Geez I'm old. I loved the first two and never had a chance to play the third, as during its initial release my pc wasn't good enough to run it, and by the time I had a better one...I kinda forgot about it. The second game is probably one of the few honestly good FMV strategy games of its time, even though the end puzzle is stupidly non-intuitive without a guide. Also, I'm pretty sure they're using werewolves as a metaphor for homosexuals.

Yeah its not that f'ed up, Jane Jensen is a far better writer than that. It was just that the main antagonist was bisexual though it had nothing to do with his lycanthropy. His bisexuality was never really viewed as a bad thing, he's actually not really that evil when it comes down to it..

I strongly request an LP of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. By all accounts, it's an excellent game, one of the best Castlevanias, and one of the best Playstation One games. I tried to play it myself a few years back, but I'm terrible at it. I'd really like to see what it's like when someone who is really skilled at the game and knowledgeable about the series takes it on.

Also, we've got fifteen Castlevania LPs but not the one that's apparently the best? Come on!

You'll be happy to know that when Zeratanis did his megathread of Castlevania games, that it indeed did include the wonderful 'Symphony of the Night'. Sadly the thread fell into archives, but you can still watch the videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnNQFmH1pOM (or at least starting from there)

I'd love to see all the good parts of Inquisitor for PC. From what I've gathered, it's a very flawed game, although apparently it got a bunch of awards; said flaws including quite a bit of grinding in its 150 hours of gameplay. As such, I would hope for a hybrid LP, with videos to show off the ambience, and supposed craziness of the fights.

I think you can also play some or all of the levels from the first game in OMD2 if you own both of them.

Yeah you can, but I don't know if you get the story cutscenes if you do that. If not then it should definitely be played from the normal game - that gave a lot of the atmosphere and it was much better than the second game in that regard.

You do not get the cutscenes, and the traps are what are in OMD2. That changes the levels a bit.

I'd like to request an Opoona LP. While it tanked upon its time of release, its wholly unique atmosphere and love for art, not to mention the fantastic motion capture involved with all the human characters, deserve to be showed off. The gameplay isn't particularly amazing, but I enjoy its use of in-game Facebooking before Facebook was as huge as it is now. It's probably my favorite Arte Piazza game (I never really enjoyed the DQ games).

Yeah. I think I requested it before, but I'd still like to see this happen. You can do so much in that game, such as running a fast food restaurant, serving customers at a hotel, dancing, mining, etc. Also, you can build your out-of-combat stats through different actions, like Fame and Art. The combat is a real-time system where you throw a spherical object above your head called a bon-bon above, around, below, or above enemies depending on how you pull back the stick.

Even if this game never gets LPed, I highly recommend that everyone with a Wii play this hidden gem.

Long involving the lack of a fast travel system, so literally had to walk everywhere. I haven't looked at the Dark Arisen so I don't know how it changes things, but the base game was slow as balls most of the time.

Dark Arisen adds the Infinite Ferrystone if you had an original DD save and you can also teleport back to Cassardis. What's more is that you can find more than just the one Portcrystal in Bluemoon Tower on the Gryphon quest, so you can build a fast travel network earlier and not have to beat the game to get the privilege of buying them.

ChaoticGood @ Jul 20, 2013 18:30
The main quest in Dragon's Dogma can be beaten in 4 hours or so with high leveled characters even if you do all the quests and fool around.
If you go as fast as possible, it can be done in 30-45 minutes...
If you start from level 1 it takes a bit longer, how long depends on whether you know what you are doing or not.

So pretty much the LP could be as long or short as anyone wants, depending on how you do it. I think showcasing other people's pawns should be a priority, though.

The first one, since I've heard the second one was terrible (wouldn't know, haven't played it).

Unlike a lot of the Koei warriors-games it's got a definite plot, since it's following the plot of FotNS, and of course there's lots of punching people and making them explode.

I'd be willing to give this a shot, it's pretty short and there's a lot to talk about it. I played the crap out of the PS3 version many months back but shelved the idea of LP'ing it for a while. Haven't touched the DLC though.

I'll think about it - seriously considering giving an LP of it a bash, perhaps sometime soon.


On second thought, I'm not ready to try to do 2 LP's at once. I have enough trouble updating the current one as is.

Edit: I'm streaming a complete playthrough instead as a bonus thing for the Asura's Wrath thread - not quite as formal but still hopefully a full playthrough. I'll start posting that up soon.

I'm a big fan of the series, but also a big sissy (F.E.A.R. 2 actually gave me nightmares for a week or so (img http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-shobon.gif) ), so I'd like someone else to take the helm while I whimper. It doesn't have to be an SA LP, as long as it's as good as one, so no Pewdiepie scarecams or screaming and shit. Thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell it was completed but never archived: http://bd.baldurk.org/lp/113

But I really wouldn't consider that as a 'scary' entry into the FEAR series...hell, even FEAR 2 wasn't a horror game outside of the ending. There's still the relatively good LP of FEAR 1 though: http://lparchive.org/FEAR/

I keep telling myself I'm going to LP FEAR 2, but the box hasn't left the trunk of my car since I moved 2 years (and a car) ago.

On another note, I was thinking of forgotten Xbox games due to the excellent Breakdown LP that is wrapping up soon and I remembered Shadow Ops: Red Mercury. Don't worry if you haven't heard of Shadow Ops before, it was a one off title by Zombie Studios, who would go on to do the Blacklight series.

Shadow Ops was the Modern Warfare series before Modern Warfare. You are a badaaaassss elite operative trying to stop Russians from acquiring Red Mercury bombs, basically suitcase nukes. It wasn't a particularly great game, but it had some good moments and if it had been popular it probably could have taken credit for the current crop of Modern Military Shooters.

Rocketfish @ Aug 15, 2013 01:56
When the 3-month probationary period is over, I'd like to specifically request an VLP of The Last of Us with commentary only occurring as bookends to each video if possible.

A related note: everyone who has made a face cam lp of this game deserves to be dragged out into the street and shot.

So I happened across a video review of the game Mindjack. From looking at other reviews, it seems this game is broken beyond belief. But it feels like the game is supposed to be that way. The game puts off this aura of hate towards the industry itself, going so far as to take some of the best and fresh ideas for a shooter, and slapping them into a terrible terrible package.

I was hoping I could convince someone to do a walkthrough with this in mind.

There was a point a couple of years ago where it looked like I'd be able to get three buddies in on an FF:CC LP but that all fell through.

I know there's one with subtitles, but I wish there was a good Splinter Cell Chaos Theory LP with commentary, as the game is a little dry and slow and could do with that to fill in. It gets a lot of praise, and I'd really like to see it explored by someone who knows it well.

If you're looking for a pretty good one, here, have this Youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB2E4FA284CB9B581

This guy's pretty damn good, he did an "Expert Ironman" run (conditions described in the playlist description and also by him in the videos). He also has a fantastic voice for this kind of thing and the footage is all high-quality.

As near as I can tell, there have been attempts at doing Symphony of the Night but I can't find a completed Let's Play that isn't something terrible on Youtube after checking the master list/let's play archive. I've been in the mood to see the game again but I don't have much desire to actually play it so it would be cool to see (not full of terrible commentary) videos of it.

I'm willing to do this game and make a thread about it. I didn't know there was any interest in the game until now and it's been a while since I played it. Plus I've got a way to record it right now with decent quality. I've also got the full original soundtrack so I can make some nice edits if I mess up or have to speed through anything.

I think I've got some notes around here about messing up with the stats to make the game a little - different. Luck stat of 999 gives you hundreds of Crissaegrims. I see no reason in doing that though unless there's any interest.

I'm more than willing to go through the first and inverted castles and try to get all of the map.

The thing is, I'd want to make stand out from the rest of the crappy LPs around on youtube.

I've got time to start recording it on Monday.

I'll need to sketch a few ideas out, do some homework, and if you guys are interested I can make a thread soon to start it. It might have to wait until Sunday though since I'm about to spend a bulk of the weekend vacationing.

If not blind it wasn't a very skillful one, sorry. I realize you put time and work into it but the game is easy enough that you shouldn't get hit in the first battle with Dracula at all.

Shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't... If all the world were filled with shouldn't, it would be a sad place indeed.

What I'm basically saying here, valkhorn, is that Zeratanis had enough skill to show off the game, and also to know when to show off attacks (and what they do), which improved the LP in general. By not being "skillful", he was actually showing more of the game than a super-skilled player would. It is, it's true, an unspoken requirement that you actually have to know the game, or have someone who knows the game involved to LP it, but a flawless run of a game is very often incredibly dull. This is the fun of LPing: Balancing on that line between "Fucking up for fun/information" and "Being just plain bad."

Also during that entire lp I was playing mostly on the xbox360 version and using that controller makes playing the game REALLY dumb. Also yes, I COULD have done a completely skilled run of the game, but after doing SNES Dracula X the way I did that I decided against doing it for Rondo and SOTN since really, completely skilled runs are more trouble than they're worth at times, as JamieTheD mentioned, they can be really dull.

I respectfully disagree. Practice makes perfect, and the more practice you have at a game the more familiar you are with it, and the better your LP will be in general. Some of my favorite LPers spend a lot of time on a game before they do the LP, and it shows.

It's not the amazing gameplay you watch, it's the familiarity with the game that makes the player enjoyable. It's kind of like going to a new city and getting someone to show you around who actually knows the place versus someone who moved in just a week ago.

EDIT:

Look, I apologize if I came off like an ass and so I just spent a bit more time watching your LP. I was a little quick to judge at first and you did a good LP - I suppose we'd just have different methods/styles of doing the game. I could go on and on about the reasons why I did like your LP and didn't like it, but I'm going to let bygones be bygones and not worry about it and not argue. You did spend some effort and time on it, and you know the backstory and history around the other games more than I do, I grant you that. (Grant, pun, har.)

I'd still like to do an LP of the game soon but I'll be taking a different angle than you. Again some things that you did I liked, some I didn't, but that's the way all LPs are. My intention is to not step on your toes (or anyone's), but to just provide another perspective or another method of playing through the game.

I didn't suggest you had to do a flawless run of anything. However it doesn't take much practice to get a few things squared away, and not getting hit in the first battle (and showing how that can be done) is to me very useful for someone who's just now playing the game. The higher your stats are earlier in the game, the easier the learning curve will be for a beginner. And, showing off Richter's moves in the beginning seems pointless when you can do that in a Richter LP. That's just a personal preference, that's all. I in no way suggest that one should never get hit during the entire LP, or that one should never make mistakes. I've done them before.

Nor am I suggesting everyone should do an LP my way and my way alone. We all have personal preferences which gives us a personal bias.

cKnoor uploads his stream runs on his YouTube channel with a few other SA LP's commentating. It's probably not good enough for a thread though, since the nature of the game is exploration which involves a bit of dicking around. The dynamic between the commentators is pretty good though and its engaging as hell.

I'm surprised there isn't a thread for one-shots, reviews, stream uploads, etc that don't fall under the purview of the LP rules or are too short for an individual thread that people can update on.

To some degree that's what the 'Let's Fail' thread was all about but the problem with that is having enough people willing to consistently update on it and usually those threads just kinda fall apart after a month or two since it's hard for people to keep up with it.

Let's Try (And Fail) is actually about demoing games for the goons (not LPs, just "Wot I thinks"), and it's most definitely not dead.

First off, I am really enjoying the Let's Play content SA and others are producing. (Retsuprae too.)

I remember back in my childhood my parents getting some freeware CDs that worked on DOS/Windows. Back then they were neat to explore around in, but nowadays they would be (correctly) labeled as shovelware (assuming you paid for the CD). Some of the stuff was complete garbage.

Some of the games content ranged from unique and innovative (this "plague" game that was a sandbox that simulated a disease outbreak that was pretty cool) strange (there was a game I think was called Angst which was a point-and-click game with early-90s political commentary), and other things I can't remember. Some of the more oddball games may be interesting to LP. One example CD that I think had both these games and other freeware/shareware of varying quality was Learning Heaven.

Next time there is an amateur radio swap meet I will need to dig through the bargain bins of software between 20 and 15 years old, assuming the CDs still work.

I'd like to request an LP of a game named "Prince of Qin". It's 2002 western style cRPG set in the warring states period in China featuring multi-scenario, multi-ending systems and randomly created weapons, items and enemies.

I watched a video on youtube and reminded of Shenmue. Probably because of the bad voice acting.

You're in luck, it hasn't been claimed! ...Because claiming shit is stupid. If you wanna do it, do it. If somebody else wants to do it too, even at the same time, you both do it. Nobody needs permission here, just quality.

With that out of the way, I'm sure a number of people will be quite glad that there's someone looking to do those games. (img http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The current sale on Steam reminds me that I wanted to see someone tackle the fair-to-bad Game of Thrones video game released a couple years back. It would be neat if the person covering it got deep into the history of that universe to explain things the show doesn't or cover stuff deep in the backstory that the show might gloss over alongside playing the game.

I took a look through the list and didn't see it, so I hope it's okay to make a request for Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights for the 3DS? The game came out 2011 and is relatively ignored (My main guess is due to the various similarities to the Professor Layton games), but it has a lot of neat mechanics and I think it'd be fun to see. ^^;

Lifeline on PS2, would have to be video.

Lifeline is a survival horror game controlled almost entirely by voice commands. I was fascinated by the idea and bought it the moment it came out. Unfortunately, I have a deep bass voice and the PS2 microphone does not nor never will recognize my voice with any semblance of reliability, even when I try to change my pitch so the game will stop being confused.

If anyone out there has more success than I in getting the PS2 microphone to pay attention when they speak, I would love to see how this game works when it can be controlled.

Lifeline can't be controlled by any human voice, at least in English. I'm sure the Japanese version of the game is absolutely fluid, but English isn't as phonetic a language as we like to believe, and the game can't distinguish between phrases like "right eye" and "red eye" - you know, targets on the same creature that are never available at the same time, so the character gets confused unless you pause distinctly enough between "right" and "eye". The problem I see with this is that the control voice would have to be in the video and thus captured concurrently with the game footage, but voice commentary would have to mesh well with it, or the post-commentary would have to be subtitled. I see it being rather jarring either way. I ran a pretty successful stream of Lifeline a few years ago (aside from the stream breaking down at the climax of the game) with live guests, and I really don't think there's any other way to make an LP work.

It's on my 'get to within a year if I have nothing better to do' list. The trouble is the puzzles are so damned long and boring that I'm not sure how you could make them interesting - unless you seriously sped it up.

Then there's the stupid microscope puzzle. Plus, it's already in the archive.

I remember how my brother and I solved some of the puzzles were by taking dry erase markers to the glass CRT monitor. It helped with the queens puzzle, the piano, and a couple others.

EDIT: I skipped ahead in the archive at the LP, and laughed my ass off towards the end. That was very creative.

Sounds fun to me. I wish I could do that game blind but the only puzzles I ever forgot the solutions to were the knights and bishops puzzles - and those are just mathematical formulas anyway.

I think Graeme Devine when creating the puzzles just went and found random math papers, because some of the puzzles have been referenced in prior mathematical journals - or are classic math puzzles. The cake puzzle is similar to a puzzle that is in a book I have which was written in the 1970s.

Nah, the game is beyond tedious; I vaguely thought about doing Manhunt 2 but I got about half way through that mess before I realized that that series was painfully dull as dish water.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that no one ever attempted to do the Gears of War series; it'd be pretty interesting to see a coop team tackle that franchise and show it off while looking at how it's affected other cover based shooters.

I am doing all the WotS games (including the Wild West spin-off) with every ending at some point in the close future. The thread's appearance has just been delayed a lot by real life stuff and just how much needs to be prepared and arranged before I can get it started.

What else is awesome in the dimension you post from that sucked here? Red Faction 2 was not a good followup to the first, taking you out of the mines, making you a supersoldier and mistaking bullshit difficult enemies for challenge. I'm not at all against games being hard, but RF2 went out of it's way to make each individual enemy take about a full magazine in the face to kill. Yes, you had a grenade launcher on your gun, but unless you got lucky and there were a ton of grenade pickups around you were constantly out of ammo because you were better off grenading everyone instead of using bullets.

Maybe I'm remembering that part wrong but RF2 was a not-so-great attempt at a Halo style game that knew it didn't have the chops to compete and thus "Featuring the voices of Lance Herkinsen and Jason Statham" appears on the front of the box as if those two voices were reason enough to want to play the game.

My Name Is Kaz is doing a pretty damn good playthrough of Diablo 2 as a summonmancer right now (with poor Latin), but I'd like to see someone play through Eastern Sun. It's a mod/conversion that adds a ludicrous amount of things, such as items, completely overhauled skilltrees, new abilities, enemies, dungeons... the list goes on. A good LP would not only get more people interested, but also hopefully make the game a little easier to understand. There's so much added for things like item crafting, it gets overwhelming, so an entry into the deeper concepts of the game would be great.

On a vaguely related note, I'd also like to see a decent playthrough of Castlevania: Harmony of Dispair (the multiplayer one on 360&PS3 that no one liked).

LB is a kind of game where street musicians deplete your faith the same way Tesla Coil depletes your infantry reserves.

I know a Left Behind LP attempt by a youtuber Bormac, which had to be aborted 12 videos in. And that guy has infinite friggin' patience, he recorded 16 hours total of Confrontation, a game where you see the same guys slowly fight the same enemies for hours.
Even if a team assembles for the commentary (no way someone can do it solo), the problem is that somebody will still have to play it.

Quovak @ Oct 10, 2013 19:25
While there would be a place for a few videos, it's not a game for a full VLP. A pretty abridged SSLP could be fantastic if whoever did it was knowledgable about Revelation, the Left Behind books, and Christian Eschatology itself, so interesting commentary and analysis from perspectives other than Internet Atheist could fill the dead air. The thing is, it would be a ton of work to make interesting beyond the first updates, and the thread would require a super hands-on approach.

Like, the games periodically stop dead in their tracks to bring up hot button political issues and actively encourage discussion. As in, the game cuts away from the RTS action to a screen consisting of bullet points and giant text pushing you to take a stance. Running that thread won't be for the faint of heart.

I own the trilogy. The games are sitting on a shelf three feet away. The first game came with the first Left Behind book, which I've read. I talked about making an LP of it an eternity ago, and it's still something I'd love to show off, but I have such an abysmal track record with this kind of thing that the actual Rapture may be a bit more likely than my thread. If anyone decides to tackle the project in this lifetime, send me a PM or add me on Skype. I'd be happy to give some suggestions and help make it work.

That actually reminds me there isn't an SA LP of Starcraft and it's expansion! That would actually be pretty awesome and I would hope that whoever does it, at least once, waxes nostalgically about the old days of battle.net (except the Diablo 1 days) and all the awesome custom maps there used to be. Of course, the game and its story were really solid and Brood War was a great expansion.

I've started an Arkham City LP, for those of you who are interested. I forgot how much I loved that game when it came out. Looking through the list it appears that Man With The Hat did a LP of Asylum a couple years back, but it isn't on lparchive.org and only exists behind the SA archive paywall. It may be a good time for someone to look into that again. I had full on thought that there was one in the archive and planned on linking to it for people coming in cold.

Shardix @ Oct 16, 2013 14:00
I'd like to see an LP of Landstalker for the Genesis. It's more or less the spiritual predecessor to the Playstation's Alundra and plays pretty similarly, but with a much less depressing plot. It was a favorite of mine as a kid, and despite the lackluster music, janky sound effects, and some truly sadistic puzzles I still look back on it fondly. Just not quite fondly enough to personally subject myself to it again.

We're just outside of 3 months now, so figured I'd express my interest in seeing it played, preferably in a more informative/skilled style, but I'd take what I could get. Not really sure how well people are set up to be recording off a Wii U, but I'm a huge fan of the first 2 games, as are many others I'm sure.

It's just HDMI/component input. If you mean the GamePad, even professional games journalism sites haven't gotten any better than "point a camera at it", so I don't think many people would be upset if that was done with WiiU LPs for now. The LPer would just need to arrange the video so that the GamePad footage was next to the TV footage, rather than covering it up.

I'm gonna drop in a request as well for the Stronghold series. It started off strong and interesting and then when it came up to Stronghold 2 and beyond it just flopped so hard and every release onwards was a disappointment. Stronghold Legends in fact is a game so imbalanced that the only way to really win (because there's very little "real" strategy in these games; when it comes to troops it's mainly weaker or stronger people hitting each other for a while and no rock-paper-scissors advantages) is to play on Easy because on higher difficulties they take troops away from you. In several mission it cripples you so badly that you'll never make it past some of the waves in the Troop-only no-building/production levels.

Shalcar's gone on record saying that Total War: Rome 2 is a bad game, and people shouldn't bother buying it right now. Unless it improves massively in a few more weeks' time when the 3-month rule is up, he probably won't be LPing it.

FighterKnuckles @ Oct 26, 2013 04:51
One little game I think really deserves to be shown off as an SSLP would be a WiiWare title called Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. It's a really neat sort of small kingdom sim game with a fun FF theme, and has some cool Add-On Content (read: DLC) too. I don't ever think it did very well, but it's a fun little game and no one I talk to has ever even heard about it. You have adventurers who go off and complete quests while you handle your own kingdom and build it to make it excellent. It's not as deep as other City Sim games out there, but it has its charms for sure.

Might as well go the whole hog and include Lady Stalker while you're at it. Despite the unfortunate name (which is a "hilarious" joke because you play a woman who's name is Lady you see), it has nothing overly creepy in at at all that I can remember, or maybe I just couldn't read it if it did.

Unlike Land and Time, it was never officially translated and I don't think there's a finished fan translation either. I know Aeon Genesis were working on one, but at their rate it'll probably be finished sometime around 2248.

I haven't played it myself yet, but most people I know wished they'd jumped ship after Revelations. It's funny how what was essentially filler before the next numbered episode in the series wound up being more popular.

In the same vein I thought there would be a Brotherhood or Revelations LP by now. If you watch Geop's LP of AC2 he mentions he'll be going and doing at least Brotherhood a couple times, but I don't think it ever happened.

Yeah, the third game was definitely my least favorite one, as it was for a lot of people. The biggest problem was that it was made by a completely different team then the one that made Brotherhood and Revelations. So they really didn't incorporate all of the improvements those games brought to the table, nor did they address any of the flaws.

Plus it butchered the history part of things to a ridiculous degree. Not that previous games didn't, but it was just so glaringly obvious in this one.

Pizdec @ Nov 6, 2013 03:34
After scanning the list I'd like to second some requests:

A video LP of Jack Orlando would showcase the wonderful music and the awful American dubbing that I've just found about. After Hopkins FBI I have a craving for video LPs of horrible foreign adventure games made even more horrible by the English voice actors.

Spider-Man and the X-Men because it was made by LJN and is therefore intrinsically funnyterrible.

A group VLP of Carmageddon 2 would be nice to see if the players got multiplayer working. That game had tons of power-ups and some large levels to keep the carnage interesting.

Finally, Lost Odyssey deserves an LP (screenshot I guess) for being a nice JRPG with a not-completely-terrible story that didn't get the attention it deserved because it was stuck as an exclusive on a console not really known for its JRPG library. Also, as a spiritual successor of earlier Final Fantasy games, it can be a chore to play through for players who dislike the random-encounter/turn-based types of RPGs. Worth it for the "Thousand Years of Dreams" stories alone.

Ikaruga would be interesting and fun to watch if you don't suck at it; Tokimeki could be interesting if you know about Japanese culture and are willing to maybe do an funny narrative for a dating sim (though I'm a bit unsure if there were translation patches made for the games). Really I wouldn't recommend an RPG for a first LP as they can tend to burn people out depending on the game length; but really there is no easy or best choice for a first LP by genre alone. Try to pick something you have some interest or passion for; it'll make it easier in the end.

Ikaruga I would be playing as a versus game with my friends.

With TokiMemo I know a lot of the history of the series, as well as Japanese cultural notes. It could turn into a CYOA pretty easily, which might be pretty entertaining.

I think it's because the game makes you assume the cast of characters will be more interesting and less cliche than it actually is. The initial group is kinda non-standard for a JRPG - you get a badass pirate chick, Motormouth Jansen, a villain with a Freddie Mercury 'stache, and Kaim who, while a pretty standard brooding pretty boy, has the crutch of the "...Dreams" stories for additional character development.

Then the anime floodgates open and you get your fragile, wistful queen, your kawaii waifu (glasses included), and your regulation annoying brats, and you realize you've been duped. By the time you get Sed, it's already too late.

It's a real shame, because it practically could have been like the JRPG cousin to Planescape: Torment, if only the quality of writing didn't end with 1000 Years of Dreams. I'd also want to see another attempt at it because I'd at least want to see the good stuff without having to deal with the JRPG cliches as well the fact that I will probably never own a 360.

No it really wouldn't, having played it. The gameplay doesn't back up that summary, which... kind of? works. Imagine generic 2D combat and platforming in bland rooms over and over until a timer runs out.

It's possible, but there's no English translation available for the original few games. Aeon Genesis are working on them, but as always with AG, don't hold your breath. Someone may come along and do a playthrough/translation as Satsu did with If.... but unless someone's actually willing to put in that much effort, I don't see it happening any time soon.

I have a copy, but my LP hands are full at the moment. It can be painfully slow to play and watch, too, with that MechWarrior 2 engine, and the fact, that you can simply turn on the wireframe mode and destroy everything, that's blue.

If there's anyone out there capable of capturing 3DS footage, I would much appreciate a Project X Zone LP. I'd do one myself, but I'm not paying almost $300 to have some guy tinker with my 3DS just to capture game footage.

Anyone who can get a virtual machine setup going for an XP or earlier system interested in doing a Heavy Gear LP? I'm interested in it, but it's just such a pain to try and get going.

For this and anyone else requiring XP to play older games, I'd like to point out that if you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate you get XP mode for free.

It's quite literally a transparent XP virtual machine direct from Microsoft. After installing things into it you can run them directly as if they were installed into Windows 7 itself.

Getsuya @ Nov 17, 2013 05:06
I think it would be awesome for someone to do the remakes of Final Fantasy Legend 2 and 3 for DS. They were only ever released in Japan, but there are 100% fan translations readily available for both of them. Your mileage may vary on the quality of the translations, but the games are well worth showing off.

The SaGa Gameboy games (called the Final Fantasy Legend series in the US) are some of the most nostalgic RPGs of all time for many gamers. For a very, very long time they were pretty much the only portable RPGs you could get. Plus they had deep, technical systems that were just crazy. Add to that the fact that the stories tended to be fairly radical and the fact that (at least in the case of 1 and 2) the music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu (who is just as amazing on Gameboy as he is otherwise) and you have not just a nostalgic series, but one packed with amazing experiences.

During Squeenix's big DS remake boom these games also got revived and given new coats of paint. In fact I would say that these two games got the most incredible and necessary overhaul of any of Squeenix's titles. They took everything nostalgic and unique about the games and upgraded it so that it would still have the same feeling and use the same systems, but in a way that would flow more smoothly and be approachable by both old and new fans.

Some of the updates included:

+No more random battles. You run into foes on the map and then go into battle.
+Because of the above, chained battles may occur in which multiple parties of enemies surround you.
+New systems that reward players for handling battles using different strategies to spice things up.
+New systems that improve the flow of battle and help make the difficulty of some larger battles less insane.
+Helpful lists to keep track of some of the more mind-numbingly complex systems in the game (such as the Meat system)
+New sub-events to give you things to do besides just follow the plot from start to finish.
+Updated 3D graphics that still retain the crazy old-school RPG half-cyberpunk art from the old games.
+A renewed soundtrack for both games. Just hearing the new opening from SaGa 2 was enough to make me go out and buy the game that very day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edIFBRfYbmU
^Old

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TIZbfSkG-M
^New

And, while I didn't think the fight theme from Legend 3 could really be improved upon, they managed it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R_Cj3-DfjY
^Old

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cFR80ZbORw
^New

These games would be absolutely amazing for someone to play. Either a person who knows the old games inside-out and who would explore all the new mechanics and find new and interesting ways to break the games or a complete newbie playing blind and experiencing all the insanity of the games for the first time while all us nostalgic folks smile knowingly and nod our heads.

I myself would rather not LP these for multiple reasons. First and foremost I don't really have a good way to capture DS stuff. Second... I'm just not very good at games that have really intricate systems like these games. My playthrough would be fairly uninteresting as I don't really know how to do cool things with the tools the games give you. When I play them I usually only barely manage to scrape my way through. Third I've already got an LP on my plate and, silly and niche as it is, I'd really like to see it through.

Choco1980 @ Nov 17, 2013 17:26
I would gladly follow these too. Though saying the remake of III captures the original's feel is very incorrect. FFLIII was the one SaGa game with a more traditional, Final Fantasy style level system of set experience and stat values. The DS remake chose to eschew that in favor of a system more resembeling other SaGa games.

Getsuya @ Nov 17, 2013 22:51
Ahh my bad. To be honest even though I bought 2 and 3 I'm actually in the middle of 2 and hadn't gotten to 3 yet. I just assumed it would follow suit and use the system from the old game. But now that you mention it the manual does talk about different races having different stat growth speeds which is how 2 works. Oh well, at least it does retain the cool Parts/Meat system for party customization.

Blip has never been terribly friendly to LPers, but they basically neglect you as long as you keep driving content and clicks. If you ever stop posting shit there, they close your account because 'Let's Play doesn't work with this site', as they put it in my account cancellation email.

Blip is populated with some seriously shitty people who have even shittier attitudes. Their website is pretty awful too, and there's a couple really fucking dumb gotchas built in to their utilities. It's just a straight up terrible service and terrible experience for the content creator, the only reason we ever used them to begin with was because Youtube had crippling length restrictions on uploads, which they don't have anymore.

Blip started out as a decent mirror for stuff, but then they started making some seriously retarded decisions about their options. You wanna upload a video in HD? Pay 80 bucks a year.

Detect if they're using adblock and put in 90 seconds of silence every time an ad would pop up.

That's kind of crazy because I got it into my head that I wanted to play the first one again, but don't have my Gamecube anymore (while I still have the disc). It holds up pretty well, but for some reason the Dolphin emulator has some serious issues with the game, crashing frequently, running the game at sub-20 FPS at times and popping up some weird graphical issues that aren't in the game if you play it on the Gamecube. If anyone thinks about doing this they should really do it on a console instead of an emulator.

The game is really grindy as fuck, you go room to room trying to kill the same enemy for like a fifth of the game at a time in rooms that look nearly identical to each other and grinding out loot or gold on some enemies. Maybe having a second person or rotating people would be the way to go on that one.

Return of the King, the 3D brawler EA released to cash in on the movies should really get a LP, while we're talking about Fantasy games from the the PS2 generation.

I'd like to see the other two games, as well. The first one I believe reviewed pretty badly and focused a lot less on the combat and a lot more on weird puzzle bits. It wasn't great, but I had a decent time with it. It was weird in that the first game was produced, I believe, by Sierra, EA had the rights to the other two, so there was this one weird little adventure game sort of thing and then two pretty good stabby stabby games based entirely around the fighting bits.

There were only 2 by EA. Two Towers covered Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. The game named The Fellowship of the Ring was made by some other company entirely and was based more on the books than the movie.
I think Return of the King is the only one that allows co-op. I know it allows for it because I must have finished it a dozen times in co-op with my younger brother.

Yeah, sierra did the first one according to wikipedia. I kind of bundle them together as the three lotr games I played on xbox, and they all came about around the release of the films. Even though they weren't really connected, the Two Towers game felt like it focused more on the second film, so even though it covered both it still sticks in my mind as a Two Towers game rather than Fellowship. Sierra had the rights for the books but not the films, while EA had the rights for the films, which is partly why they're so different.

Even if it's not actually a trilogy, I'd still like to see all three games though.

I do not have the patience to play this game for myself, but I would be heavily interested in an LP of an obscure point & click adventure game called Culpa Innata.

(img http://i.imgur.com/qzw28Yll.jpg)

Note the allusion to that shitty novel, Atlas Shrugged.

the premise posted:

It is the golden age in mankind's evolution. For the first time in history, countries with significant resources have united under one World Union. In this utopian society, "survival of the fittest" takes its next inevitable step. Only the elite are deemed worthy to live under the World Union banner - the smartest, healthiest, and wealthiest. Forsaking the altruistic tendencies that have crippled individual development and economic progress in the past, the World Union has ushered in an unprecedented era of self-interest and fulfillment. Prosperity is a science, sex is entertainment, disease and capital crime are non-existent, and the future has never looked better.

But beneath a perfect world lies an unspeakable truth. That truth is ready to surface.

A World Union citizen is murdered in Russia, one of the few remaining Rogue States. This murder oddly coincides with the accidental death of a prominent professor in Adrianopolis, an important border town between the World Union and Russia. Peace Officer Phoenix Wallis is assigned to lead the investigation of the murder. Still young and inexperienced, she will soon make discoveries beyond her wildest imagination, as skilled hackers and subversive characters begin taking an inexplicable interest in Phoenix. Her investigation reveals enigmatic clues that lead her deeper and deeper into a mystery that challenges not only her case, but her very beliefs in the worldview she has sworn to protect.

Join Phoenix in her exciting 3D adventure. Culpa Innata welcomes you to the World Union.

I'm interested in seeing where it goes.

E: I noticed that the list in the second thread hasn't been updated in quite some time. The thread creator doesn't seem to be around anymore. Should we make a new request thread, like the tech support has made a new thread?

I would be up for writing a new Request Thread, I just probably gotta get some time together to see which games on the list in the OP have already been done.

^^^Not only that, but you have to check to see what other games should be added as well as remove duplicates (Too Human appears twice, for example). Or you could just copy the list as it exists and start adding games to that already huge monster.

I'd love to try my hand at but I wouldn't want to be stepping on any toes. Is there an unspoken taboo about another person taking up the project aka the same LP?

As the guy who made the Red Faction test post (also the guy who initially requested it be LP'd): go right ahead and start on an LP. I'm probably going to do a more design decision and quirk focused run through the games as mentioned in the videos. I'm planning on starting the thread tonight after I edit the OP and first couple posts.

There seems to be this worry here that concurrent threads aren't allowed or that you are "stepping on toes" by doing a game in the series someone else had started. I can understand where the concern comes from, but really, you should do what you want and not worry about what other people are LPing.

It's more about people saying that if there's a thread for a game already in progress and someone comes along and makes a new one then there's probably gonna be less people who want to watch the new one. Take Geop's Lp of The Last of Us for example. He's nineteen episodes in now so there's probably not gonna be a lot of people who'd wanna see it all over again if someone started their own LP of it.

Not to say that there won't be anyone looking but there's a bigger chance of there being less traffic in the second thread.

Lazyfire @ Dec 4, 2013 15:35
I get that aspect of it, but if you have an idea for an LP and you can do it well there is no good reason to not do it. Post counts and video views only count for so much. Maybe my approach to Red Faction is a bit too technical to someone who wants to see the game in it's early 2000's run and gun shooter glory. It's worth the effort to at least make a Sandcastle post if you want to do a game and see if you have something people would be interested in seeing.

[Parroted comments about people wanting more discussion in their threads goes here.] No one really wants a thread where you're triple-posting updates and there's no one else talking.

Keep in mind if you do the recent revelation that the instructions for updating the Master List are some sort of reading comprehension trick question that has stunned us all, so it's probably wildly inaccurate.

unfair @ Dec 4, 2013 17:33
I think most things get on the Master List eventually, it's just a matter of them not being on there the second the LPs are published. Someone is the Glazius of the Master List though, because on the rare occasion I check for my own LPs they're always there - and as people have pointed out I definitely don't get a boatload of comments.

I think all the archived LPs get added to the Master List anyway, so it shouldn't matter that much unless LP is fine with me cutting out the games because of half-finished LPs.

I think I'm just gonna copy that huge thing and start adding/removing games from it. I think the big problem would just be reading the thread from the point where the OP stopped updating but that just requires some time.

Archiving is an opt-in process so that's not entirely conclusive. Though, regarding game completion that doesn't really matter anyway because people updating the Master List to say a game was completed is even rarer than them having added it in the first place.

I keep track of threads vs the list so I can tell you right now the Master List is about 5 months out of date which is apparently when the few people who updated it with games other their own, including me, gave up.

If a thread has fallen into archives and wasn't added to the LP Archive, it's considered abandoned, yes?

Though that would be assuming that everyone updated LPs that were "finished" but not archived.

Only if the LPer didn't finish the LP. If they did, it's marked as "completed."

Yeah, I was just considering going through the "ongoing" list and updating the ones that were in archives now, but that might end up with people who finished LPs having them marked as abandoned by accident.

Ah, I see. I always loved the first game, since I played the living hell out of it when I owned it on the PS2. That is until the fatal disc scratch happened. Still, I'm going to try my best to keep it interesting even if this is my first LP. Also would you be available for a multiplayer mode video down the line?

That's where I first played it as well, and I thought it was amazing back then as well. I'd be up for multiplayer mode stuff, and if you need help getting it to run right feel free to PM me or send me a message through YouTube or whatever.

Edit: And the Red Faction I & II thread is live now. I know there were a few people besides me interested in seeing it done.

GreenBuckanneer @ Dec 5, 2013 00:21
Is there a video lets play of Persona 4 with a minimal amount of talking? Maybe something that just skips all of the combat except for boss battles? I love the voice acting but the combat is just boring to me.
