Silent Hill 1 to 4 SSLPs by From Earth never miss a chance to point out just how  the plot and the item puzzles can be. So, it's a non-stop ride in 4.

Silent Hill Homecoming by Kamoc (in the OP) as well as any of VoidBurger's both take the steam out of Silent Hill's sails

Are there any actually good LPs of Five Nights at Freddy's? I know it falls under teh three month rule here, but I'm wondering if anyone's ever seen a good youtube LP of it? Preferably without scarecam.

It was recommended a few pages back, but I followed this dude's playthrough. Pretty tightly edited, no freaking out, etc. Definitely the one to watch, I think. That said, he doesn't show off all of the deaths. I wanted to see a death compilation, but they're all in videos with men screaming like little girls

Pretty much anything The Dark Id does is instant gold, and you can't go wrong with it. You will find at least one phrase per LP ("RIP AND TEAR", "Not featured: A clock tower", etc.) that will stay with you for the rest of your life. I would also strongly, strongly recommend branching out into his magnum opus, the Drakengard series. I PM'd him once to alert him that Drakengard 3 was coming out, and as I never got a reply, I can only assume he fled the country in advance.

I dunno. I stand by my OP recommendation of Dirge of Cerberus as TheDarkId at his best. It's a hauntingly beautiful slow descent into madness as he becomes ever-more frustrated and furious with the game as the LP drags on, culminating in a post-script so luscious it rivals Keats, Coleridge, and Wordsworth:TheDarkId posted:gently caress this game. gently caress everyone behind the making of this game. gently caress Tetsuya Nomura. gently caress Square-Enix. gently caress Vincent Valentine. gently caress Final Fantasy VII. gently caress J-RPGs. gently caress Japan. gently caress you for enjoying my suffering. And gently caress me for going 'hey, Dirge of Cerberus...there's a good game to LP' nearly 11 months ago. Basically,

Gonna recommend Control Volume's screenshot LP of Rollercoaster Tycoon. It's informative when it needs to be and really clever/funny the rest of the time. Sadly, it wasn't finished, archived or put into the master list, but what's there is well worth a read.

some questions: There was a recent group LP of a NES metroidvania. It was rather primitive. You switch between playing as various members of a family. What was it again? What are some informative LPs of adventure games with interesting puzzles (not cat hair mustache item inventory puzzles, interesting logical stuff like myst or certain monkey island puzzles) or unique mechanics (like the Void's deal with processing color or illbleed's trap detection and tagging)

I very much enjoy games driven by story. I am looking for an LP focusing on a game's unique and quality writing, preferably presented in a fashion which focuses more on the game, and less on the personality of the LPer. The caveat, of course being someone one who can manage both approaches well. Some examples of Lp's that I very much enjoyed with these qualities are: KOTOR 2, Planescape: Torment, Journey, Grim Fandango (VLP), Animal Crossing (Chewbot's warped version) and Deadly Premonition. The focus of each was on story and atmosphere of the game not the mechanic's of playing the game. Sneaky Fast fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Sep 7, 2014 |

Plenty of story-focused LP's around I think, if you like mysteries and atmosphere then I'd recommend Dragonatrix's LP of 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. Fedule's LP of the sequel is still ongoing I believe.

The game's story is generic fantasy but he deconstructs it and analyzes a lot of what makes it tick. And of course, it's just a prelude for its expansion and that's got one amazing plot.

I think everyone should get on board the D&D Next let's play; http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3645992&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 It's very funny and a bit different to the other tabletop RP LPs. The group is a bit smaller and it's far more based on inter party talking and roleplaying than mechanics for progression. The pace is faster and it's still very funny during any 'combat' sections. It's overseen by Medibot, Wolfshirt plays a buff minotaur, Plaz is a barbarian princess turned into a bunny rabbit, Gharbad is a toddler/ancient golem of friendship, and panzer skank is a monk obsessed with justice who makes constructs get hard and sweaty and she punches them. They've investigated a factory making possibly evil constructs, fought a dork wizard and just met a yuan ti who feels badly that the cave she's in has been looted already, so is filling stuff up for any adverturers that follow her (Poorweather as half snake lady). If you liked the other tabletop LPs (DnD and 13th age) this is superb. If you didn't this is different enough that it's still worth checking out. The group interactions are hilarious. You need to listen to a tiny friendship golem try and climb inside a vending machine.

Can anyone recommend me some good Minecraft Let's Plays? I watch LPs for soothing background ambiance usually while I do internet things, so Minecraft seems like a good idea. I'd prefer with commentary from someone who isn't completely annoying to listen to.

There was one posted earlier in this thread that I enjoyed what I watched. He doesn't really explain how the game mechanics work very much but it's honestly not too hard to decipher for yourself. The main selling points on this LP is there's no scarecam, he doesn't constantly jabber on about nothing or scream, and he edits when he dies.

It's basically a whistle-stop tour of the cool things a small group did on returning to Minecraft as they worked towards 'beating' it. Unfair's delivery would certainly be in the soothing end of things though. Fwoderwick fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Although it's an off site LP he handles the game well, he's pretty chill, the videos are edited, there's no scare cam and he does a complete run through of the main portion of the game. The down sides are he's off site, there's no extra content of what can happen that didn't happen in his main play through and he's not willing to play through any extra content. I don't think I could handle doing an LP of this here, there'll be no scare cam but you'll hear me screaming like a little girl occasionally.

Hey folks I'm looking for two things right now: 1. Really, really long LPs that I can just set and forget and leave rolling while I play other games. I asked for this before and got some really great suggestions but now I'm done with them and I need some more. Preferably ones with lots of talking so I don't actually have to watch the screen all the time. 2. Good VLPs of RPGs. They don't have to be SA, and I don't care if they do stupid stuff like read all the on-screen text, I just really want to watch some long RPG VLPs so they can play a bunch of games so I don't have to. Killing two birds with one stone and all that. I finished watching most of what HCBailey posts, since he tends to play stuff I want to see, so anything like that where it's just some person who actually finishes the RPG VLPs they start and isn't absolutely horrible with their commentary. Thanks.

Almost seventy videos of a PS2 game that I had and for a JRPG it was rather decent. He made it rather watchable and the co-commentary was great too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47ITwTJXpOc Deus Ex. I got to the original Deus Ex late in life so I don't see it with the same rose tinted glasses as everyone else. However it's still fairly good and he does a lecture on conspiracy theories, political theory, etc. And as someone with a background in politics it's rather well though out.

Yeah the T40s stuff is pretty solid if you want something longer which you can play in the background. Between FFX, Symphonia, Shenmue, and Fallout NV, there's a fair amount of downtime between things where they just talk about random stuff. Never saw the MGS4 LP, but I've been told they really didn't enjoy doing it  I need to fish it up, but there was some Youtube LP group which played a few longer games which were mentioned a few months back in the old thread, and the commentary seemed okay. To name a few, they did Skyrim and the Mass Effect games. I know I made note of them somewhere...  I needs me some background noise for working on projects and stuff.

^Any chance you're talking about Spoiler Warning? Their commentary can be hit or miss, but it's definitely great background material.Sneaky Fast posted:The Tipping Forties guys play through of Tales of Symphonia is like 100 something updates but they drank whilst playing the game so at times it can be a bit rowdy, also very funny. Also if you end up liking their Symphonia LP, Kuvo (one of the commentators in the above mentioned Symphonia LP) is currently LP'ing a later game in the series, Tales of Vesperia with some equally funny co-commentators.

I like this one too, and I'll also suggest Bobbin Threadbare's take at the Thief Trilogy. Stonekeep by davidspackage is an older first-person dungeon crawler that is strangely addictive. Long and relaxing but never dull or tedious. And because Geop would never toot his own horn, his playthroughs of the first two Assassin's Creed games are probably just what you're looking for, Getsuya. Lots of fun talk of the historical sources and inspirations whenever the action winds down. Tuxedo Ted fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Sep 10, 2014 |

I just noticed that Geop's Dark Souls Lp isn't on the first page recommendations. My guess is it didn't get added cause Geop is the mod, but a great Lp deserves to be watched . I am suggesting it be added to the multiple commentator section. Some of the best parts of the LP are the interactions between the uninformed Geop and the devious collusion of Kuvo, Vicas, and Squint. I found the chemistry, pace and on-topic/ off-topic balance of the commentators to be superb throughout.
