Give it a month or so for resident Ratchet LPer kalonZombie to give a crack at it, as he's done literally every other game in the series.

The only thing that jumps to mind was Chip doing a stream of it when it came out, so you can watch it on his youtube channel here.

I need my fix now.

Also I already saw the ones on Chip and Volition's channels.

Does anyone have a good Fallout 4 LP? I don't want to watch some idiot on a scarecam.

I like Vanillaware's art stylization, but I hate their depiction of characters in Dragon's Crown, despite the sidescrolling beat-em-up being one of my favorite genres that they've apparently done right. Does anybody know of a comprehensive playthrough of the game that touches on the classes, but doesn't involve youtube nerds panting heavily when they pick their sole character of Sorceress for their playthrough? I'd prefer a girl to narrate/play, if possible, because I just want to see how the game progresses as a loveletter to both beat-em-up games and the D&D campaigns it's based on, not have a dude explain for the umpteenth time that they picked a poo poo character with large boobs when they should have done x instead, oh woe is them

He's been mentioned an almost worrying amount of times in this thread, but Many A True Nerd on youtube does really good Fallout videos. He has some youtube superstar traits but he's mostly tolerable and his passion and knowledge on the fallout games is really top notch.

He's currently doing a No Gun run which demonstrates how ridiculously overpowered melee is, and also a no limitations Survival run which Bethesda have made surprisingly difficult. His new vegas videos are my personal favorite.

Not quite what you asked for, but EpicNameBro did a pretty passable 1cc lp of the game. It's only as the fighter, and he's a dude, but he's not a total creep as well as being pretty good at the game.

In literally every episode he smacks a lady to make her boobs jiggle and zooms in on it, or smacks a guy and explains repeatedly how it makes the lady smacking in first half of the lp ok because he's doing it to a guy now, and this guy stumbles, that's sexy right, he probably has a dick or something, maybe if you squint you can see it up his tunic lol. Or he's drooling over every picture of a woman in the game before stammering out some excuse about how it's not sexism.

That's worse than I remember, that's what I get for having mostly had it on in the background. Recommendation mostly rescinded in that case. At least he's still pretty good at the game I guess.

On the LP masterlist it only looks like one person even tried, and they didn't finish the trilogy.

As for a decent set of youtube VLPs of the games, check out NakaTeleeli's LPs: Playlist here. He gripes about the games, but he does all three of them and it's a way to see the plot without getting them yourself. Fair warning though, it's been years since I watched them so no clue about any quality dips.

Funny, I was just about to post those same videos. They're early material so might not be so good.
Coincidentally, I think he also did Dragon's Crown with his fiancee? EDIT: I'm wrong, she joins for a few episodes but it's mostly another dude.

I'm giving this guy a shot because I turned on an episode of Paper Mario TTYD and it's dual-wielding commentators so that's already got my interest.

AccountingNightmare's LPs of the Devil May Cry series are very skillful, mostly flashy but not speedy.
James315 did a pretty skillful LP of Battlefield 1942 (yes, the online FPS). So skillful that you can count the number of matches where he didn't rank first on one hand. It's pretty old by now though, maybe a little janky for 2016.
Stuntman by TyrantSable might be the most brutally hard and unforgiving driving game i've ever seen. Not sure if you can call it skillful, but the finished stunt run for a level at least looks pretty skillful. :v:

All of them single commentator, though.

Super Meat Boy by Psychedelic Eyeball and Wugga is what you're looking for. Psych beats the game and then tackles some of the better user made levels, Wugga does iron man runs through each chapter without dying. I can't remember if there's any co-commentary outside of the super meat world levels. Either way, good LP, difficult game, high skill.

It absolutely is. It's not just memorizing the stunt run and where all the explosions and things are, but your precision driving skills really have to be on point if you want to complete some of the later scenes (let alone 100% them).

This game was made by the people who brought us Driver on the PSX, well known for its tutorial being too hard for many players.

Smite's Rogue Legacy LP goes down as one of my favorite high skill SA LPs, and he has a different guest commentator on each video.

He has a video where he speedruns the game and brings 2 speedrun guys to discuss the run/strategies, it's interesting as gently caress.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRFOD5P0K28

I'm interested to see more suggestions of high skill LPs too, I love speedruns but usually hate the commentary on them.

I don't think anyone did Last Light (or 2033 redux, for that matter); still, it really shouldn't matter for considering doing an LP.

So I started checking out Smite's channel after making my suggestion and found out he's been involved with some Nuclear Throne races in a semi-official setting with 3 commentators and dozens of racers, I don't know a ton about Nuclear Throne but I'm finding the races really interesting as each race is best of 5 1v1 in a single elimination bracket, the commentators have good chemistry and provide interesting insight, the runners range from just very good to godlike which makes for some interesting imbalanced matches, plus the format forces them to choose different characters for each leg which puts even the best players out of their comfort zones.

Sorry for the essay. I like games.
