helloitsdan and Lithuanian Dad's Mercenaries 2 LP is, in my opinion, one of the greatest LPs I've ever watched and is one of the ones that inspired me to start my own LPs. Seriously. People should watch it if they haven't.

Seconding it and also recommending their LP of Lost Planet 2. Dan and Dad are just a comedic force that cannot be stopped.

Offsite, but SwordlessLink is doing a "Lets Speedrun" of Wind Waker, and its pretty great so far. Chill commentary, and its cool to hear about all the things that go into a speedrun. Starts here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AKBM06AWxE

On the subject of off-site LPs, two of the developers from the Ratchet and Clank series are playing through the second and third games, which they worked on. You can start with this video.

Another off-site tip. Idle Thumbs does some livestreams now and then and this first one is with one of Bioshocks lead level designers playing through the map he worked on and commenting on it, really good stuff: http://www.twitch.tv/idlethumbs/b/322438377 The first part is a bit choppy but the rest is great.

CrookedB posted:Any good text adventure (not CYOA) LPs out there? Doesn't have to be on the archive. About 3 years back, several folks went through the entire Infocom catalog plus a few other similar games. The OP of this LP links most (if not all) of them. Requires archives, but there's some great stuff in there.

There is a YouTube author by the name of Blaise9 that does a lot of LPs without commentary but in high quality, mostly boss rushes. If you look at the left side of his background, you can see the long list of games he's gone through. His usual attitude is to hold off for a while, and then release a bunch of videos at once for a game. He just went through a ROM hack of Super Mario RPG called Armageddon, which is basically making everything very hard, and I believe there are some new things involved. I don't know, since I didn't look it up. I did watch his Hybrid Heaven LP, though, which was interesting to watch. I'm always up for powerbombing aliens. http://www.youtube.com/user/Blaise9/ AMReese fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Aug 20, 2012 |

This is pretty neat, but he's got some serious interlacing (I think?) issues that give me motion sickness when i try to watch the videos in full-screen. I believe this same person also has a speedrun-with-commentary for Metroid Prime on Speed Demos Archive.

I'm really enjoying Kloudtana's DS Castlevanias LP. He's showing off everything (and in the games he's doing there's a LOT to show off), his commentators are chill, and he's updating at an absurd pace.

Been looking for a good SMT: Nocturne VLP to run in the background while I do stuff. Same with a BoF: DQ one, since Mazurya's went south.

I know how you feel about there being a lot of boss rushes, but at least he did something. Also, for those that are curious, I found a couple of YouTube authors that played through both series of .hack. They're both without commentary (which I prefer most of the time since a lot of commentary can be annoying and they drown out the good music of some games). Here's a playlist of .hack//Infection http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8C75B02506056CA2 And here's a playlist of .hack//GU Volume 1 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL60823222CFF78298 They go through all the message board stuff slow enough for you to read them yourself with barely having to pause the video, and the quality is clear enough (480p for both) for you to see what's going on. It's the next best thing to an actual LP of the games on SA, and both authors go through the entirety of their respective series, and have been finished for a while.

Hello everyone, my name is slowbeef and I'd like to preface my recommendation with the following: I like adventure games, and the more obtuse the puzzles, and the worse the writing, the better candidate I feel they are for LP mockery shenanigans. Some of the things I've LPed: - Darkseed: In which we tie a rope to a gargoyle to rappel down the side of our house to avoid the police who are controlled by aliens and standing outside the front door not doing anything. - Amazon: Guardians of Eden: In which we put a trash can on our heads to fool a sci-fi robot in order to break into an area of our own job. - Sprung: In which we had to get panties from an old lady. So, I think I know something about bad adventure games... no, let me amend that. I thought I knew about bad adventure games, but Bacter blows me the gently caress out of the water with Bureau 13 On paper, it's like X-Files meets Men in Black - a covert government agency recruits supernatural beings like aliens and vampires in order to suppress knowledge of, and neutralize, evil supernatural beings like demons and vampires. In practice, holy hell, this is a trainwreck of trainwrecks. Our covert unit consists of a woman in a bikini and a battlemech (the torso of the mech is glass so we can have our cheesecake and eat it too*), a priest, a vampire, and an old witch who is actually kinda stacked. It's like a setup to a joke, and it is, because I can not get over how bad it gets. Dialogue trees simply end mid-conversation, your vampire doesn't appear to do anything useful, and none of the NPCs blink an eye at the bikini girl in the battlemech, and she even successfully passes herself off as a reporter! "Gee slowbeef," you say. "I doubt the game takes itself that seriously." No... no, it does. It just ran out of budget, apparently. It's currently ongoing, Bacter includes audience interaction in the form of both voting ("Should we go to the forest or the other forest?**") and audience-written writing challenges, which admittedly, I skipped, opting to read the LP updates first. His snarky commentary actually does help complement things. So, if, like me, you are amused by obtuse puzzles and watching people backtrack and pixel hunt, give Bureau 13 a whirl. * I'm pretty sure I stole that joke from Carrot Top or something ** Actual in-game choice

On the topic of really bad adventure games: The dark half. Another case of extremely dumb puzzles embedded in a nonsensical story. As long as there is a cutscenes later that explains everything it's okay I guess. Another thread I read is Indiana Jones and the emperors tomb. It is a game about blasting thugs with a shotgun from 2 feet, beating the crap out of them with a liquor bottle and most importantly about indies hat.

Proteus4994 posted:Edit 3: I shouldn't have to say this, but don't recommend threads that just started. I can't give a concrete number of how many updates or whatever a thread should have before you recommend it, but I would suggest that the LP should at least be 1/4 to 1/3 complete before you post a recommendation. You don't know if the thread is going to be abandoned or if it's all going to go downhill from a great start or whatever. Just don't do this. Even if you've loved every other LP the person has done and they've never abandoned anything before ever, don't do it. It waters down both your recommendation and the recommendations of everyone else in here.

The Exit Fate thread is hands down the best LP I've ever read. The topic creator goes out of his way to cover everything interesting in the game, there's almost always an update every day or every other day, fantastic fanart is littering the topic and best of all the creator of the game himself pops into the thread about halfway through. He posts full maps of the game world, content that was cut or changed from the very first version of the game, beautiful artwork of scenes in the game made just for the thread and now that the LP is over, he's drawing comics for the thread showing events that occur after the game has ended. - The only non-spoily image from the comic, to give you an image of what sort of work is being done.If you haven't checked it out so far, it's well worth a look. Has any other LP in this forum had the game's designer swing by?

Hey, I'm looking for an LP by someone on a game they know everything about. Preferably it would be 100% run, but more important than that is the fact that the player knows where all the easter eggs, glitches, and interesting things in the game are. I want to watch someone play a game they clearly love (not a game they're using gamefaqs to get full completion). For example, I really enjoyed watching some MGS let's plays a few years ago. I can't remember who did them, but they were very popular on this forum.

You want this; http://lparchive.org/Project-IGI/ Girgast explains things about the game engine, explorers every possible place you can get to on a map and frequently where you can escape the map, finds every single pick up and shows off tons of other stuff. It's rather obsessive but presented in a very casual, friendly manner and you can tell he's doing it because he really enjoys this kind of thing and not just for completeionism. "Here's what happens if you plant mines in X location but here's what happens if you plants it in Y location and here's what happens if you do each of these things while also letting that tank I caused to spawn but didn't kill 10 minutes ago catch up with me." Then go and find watch Chaser LP and be delighted at glass physics and level geometry. Then catch up with his Cold Fear LP in which he has made a custom video capture method or something to show off the wire frames, once again gives a good look to level design and every possible scenario a player could create and wish he would get back to updating it. Once you're done with that check out maybe try Rooreeloos Banjo Kazooie and Tooie Subtitled LPs in which every pickup is picked up and a fair number of glitches and cheats are demonstrated. Then feel sad that he never got back to finishing RooreeloooNuts and Bolts because "he has a life beyond entertaining me" or some other silly excuse. THEN you can swing into Oatmelraisin's Dead Rising LP. Oh, oh! Don't forget TheManWithAHat's run of Batman: Arkham Asylum. AccountingNightmare walks all over Devil May Cry 1, 2 and 3 like it's childs play and finds every little thing. Because why not? And last but by no means least; Deadly Premonition in whic our brave SuperGreatFriend goes so far as to explore parts of the town you need never, ever go to and reviews the movies our very interesting protagonist off handedly mentions. Hopefully that should hold you over for now. Enjoy losing all your free time.
