I like LPs of kind of obscure, bad games. Like, Chip Cheezum's You Testament or Dysexiatic's High School Dreams. Anyone have any recommendations?

Quovak did a fantastic run of a game called Jesus: Kyōfu No Bio Monster, which is as crazy as it sounds. It's also short, and if you have archives the person who did the translation posted in the topic for it in case that sounds interesting.

I too like obscure games. Speaking of SSLPs I'm looking for good ones that involve the user either writing something up for the whole LP (like Gazillionaire, off the top of my head) or something long and interesting overall mixed up with their commentary through characters. If it's any help I also read through all of KOTOR2 a while back so that helps narrow it down.

The game is obscure but not bad, and the LP just finished here on the forums. Kiavahr fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Dec 20, 2013 |

If you want a great narrative SSLP, I'd recommend the magic that Chokes McGee has been making with [url= http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3585183]Final Fantasy Legend[/url] for the original Gameboy. He uses expertly engaging witing talent to improve an already great story.

I'm looking for narrated VLPs that focus on the game & are being done for enjoyment. Hosts who are mature, and can be any combination of informative/funny/entertaining. Have very low tolerance for youtube divas, forced jokes/personalities, and people who are recording just for money/attention. Production quality isn't a big deal. I really like seeing a background knowledge/history of the game or gaming in general. Don't really have a preferred genre of games, but do like learning about historically significant/revolutionary games and watching someone who is good at the game. Some LPs/LPers that I like: ResearchIndicates (a given) Supergreatfriend (Deadly Premonition, Illbleed, 999, etc. Beginning to feel a bit forced with chat [VLR]) Chewbot's Oregon Trail SSLP & Animal Crossing (The added sound/visuals made them easier to get through than most SSLPs I've tried to read) SSOHPKCs Super Mario ROM hacks (back in the late 2000's when he bitched about Target, haven't kept up since then) Errant Signal (not LPs, but the commentary is interesting) Brickroad (Watched Myst, stayed for the 150% stuff) Spoony's Phantasmagoria (some of the other stuff feels forced) Giantbomb's Persona 4 Endurance Run was relaxed & fun to watch even if it was marketing NorthernLion (mostly quality stuff if sometimes a bit bland) DocFuture's Sonic Ambisagrus (introduces a lot of games I'm not familiar with. Not so much a fan of the scripted & co-commentated stuff) The 7th Guest (think it was Angryponcho, but I'm not a fan of most of his other stuff) Basically looking for some interesting individual/unique LPs to watch that don't pander to the masses of youtube and instead just do what they personally enjoy. Any thoughts? Hope I've shared some new content too.

If you like Errant Signal, then I'd recommend Spoiler Warning, which he's actually part of. They cover story-heavy games like the Fallout series and split their commentary pretty evenly between the merits and failures of the game's narrative and the astonishing amount of bugs they run into.

I've tried watching their Mass Effect LP, but they keep talking over all dialog and cutscenes. Not that ME is some masterpiece of writing, but I like to know what's going on at least and they drown everything out with their chatter.

They get -better- about that in later seasons, but they still never really stop. Mass Effect is their first attempt at this, and they don't really get into the swing until midway through their Fallout 3 LP.

In Riviera he doesn't touch the plot much, only the characters' personalities, but in Avalon Code he basically rewrote the game from start to finish.

I'm really loving cKnoor's LP of Don't Starve. It's narrative but he's showing off lots of game content in a great way, he's also very funny and I like the 'character' of Wilson he's built. It's definitely my favorite one going right now. It's not done but there's 9 or 10 updates already.

I'm probably going out on a limb here but I'm trying to remember an old video LP of Dino Crisis (1 or 2, I think 2) where the person playing the game had the brilliant idea to make save states of a bunch of ridiculous moments in the game (random deaths, people screaming out terrible lines, etc). The player would then swap over to those save states at random and dramatic points during the game, and the whole thing was absolutely hilarious to watch. Does anyone know what I'm remembering, and maybe have a link to it somewhere? My memory is very sketchy so it's possible that the guy wasn't connected to this forum/was just screwing around with a few levels rather than doing a LP of the entire game. edit: I can move this somewhere else if this thread isn't the right place for it but this seemed like the best thread to find people who may have seen it before TheresNoThyme fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 21, 2013 |

I used fake screenshots to add a lot of scenes that didn't exist in the game. If that's the kind of thing you're looking for, I second Fat Samurai's recommendation of Didja Redo's other LP's, as well as Jerusalem's LP of GTA: San Andreas.

At least in the character depth. It still follows the main storyline and major points in it quite well as far as I can tell. It's in break for the holidays currently but it's very entertaining.

Some of you may be missing it because it got moved to The Dorkroom for Secret Santa, but the Hatoful Boyfriend LP is currently in one of the more insane parts of the game. Which is saying something.

I've been trying to remember the name of a game I read an LP of here on the forums. It was a JRPG with typical JRPG things like you start in a tiny village and get sent on a quest to save the world and then you run around doing things until you save the world. But then it also had an alternate storyline (demon mode? or something) where instead of doing typical JRPG protagonist things you ran around murdering everyone and generally being a huge dick. It was a redemption theme I think, because the main character was a reborn God of Death of Angel of War or some JRPG protagonist thing but your powers had been sealed by the leader of the village he's torn between helping the people who raised him and just murdering the poo poo out of everything because  My memory is really muddy but I'm pretty sure the whole (reborn? or maybe just sealed / memory wiped) Angel of Death (or something like that) being sent off on typical JRPG 'save the world' type missions by the leader of a hidden village he grew up in (maybe just lived in a while?) and then choosing between good and evil basically. The good plot was fairly generic but the evil plot was really dark if memory serves. The LP was multiple playthroughs showing off the different routes. But I just can't for the life of me remember what it was called so I'm hoping maybe someone here will recognize it from my rambling and tell me what it is. Fat Samurai posted:If you liked Gazillionaire, Didja Redo took the same approach to Avalon Code and Riviera.

Also I'd like to say that Didja Redo's LPs are pretty drat awesome if you're looking for a LPer that takes 'creative liberties'. I just wish he would make more

Does anyone know of a good Prince of Persia(2008) playthrough, preferably subtitled or uncommented? Basically just without some screechy goober awkwardly talking over everything. I'd really like to see the game in motion since it has such a unique look, but all the videos are down in the only SA LP that I can find.

Checks the "uncommented" and "in motion" boxes, may be slightly repetitive and skips a bunch of that plot stuff that speedrunners don't like.

NeilPerry posted:Kind of an extension of a question I asked in the sandcastle: Gonna assume you're fluent, so apologies if that's not the case. ボルゾイ企画 is pretty good. Obviously they became famous to the general public for their Ao Oni jikkyou which is pretty much all Kami screaming and Fuhiki laughing but most of their other stuff is pretty low key. Since you're fluent in English as well, you might find the 海外ズ Super Mario Wii run to be amusing like I did. Basically two white guys doing a jikkyou in mildly accented but fluent Japanese. Sometimes their friends (who don't speak Japanese) join in as well. hacchi is one of the old greats, and I really liked his The Immortal playthrough. He generally plays games that are ridiculously hard, so be prepared to see him dying a lot. ガッチマン is pretty good at video games, and he'll explain stuff while playing and do alternative playthroughs so his jikkyou are fun to watch even if you've played the games yourself. That's about all I can remember off the top of my head, tell me if you want more and I'll scrounge up some more stuff when I've got the time.

I think there was a three week gap between the last two episodes and we're in another three week gap again. In the scheme of things it is kind of a minor problem, there are plenty of episodes up already and they are definitely worth watching if you want to see Infinite done by someone who clearly loves the game and knows it well.

I'm on the fence about watching it after the first few minutes. It looked so good I'm thinking of getting the game I had the same feeling about the Last of Us, but ended up watching the ongoing LP. Which I'm glad of, as I'm interested in the story but not the gameplay. So I guess my question is innately subjective but is it worth it to wait till after I play the game, or can I get a good experience watching the LP?

It looked so good I'm thinking of getting the game I haven't played Bioshock Infinite so I can't really answer your question, but if you're in North America it'll be free on PS3 for PS Plus members sometime this month. So if you've got PS Plus it might be worth waiting just because you can get it for free.
