If you like the concept of Metal Wolf Chaos (and if you don't then what are you doing here?) but find the LPs a bit too slow-going as I did, fortunately it was run for Summer Games Done Quick 2014, by Murphagator. The speedrun should give you plenty of the game experience but in a nice digestible two hours.

Anyone know of a good blind Hollow Knight stream/LP? Preferably with co-commentary but not necessary.

I really liked Highwang's 100% expert run of Hollow Knight but it's so much like a Souls game in a lot of ways that I know watching someone completely goober around blindly would also be good.

I’m all caught up on Pokemon Reborn and I need another train wreck to read. I tried Major/Minor but there was just so much text. I’ve also read Pokemon Uranium. Please point me to other good LPs where people play horrible games for our entertainment.

Horrible JRPGs or RPGmaker games are preferred.

So I've been on a robot / mecha kick lately and I'm looking for something to sate that. The only thing that really comes to mind though is Armored Core LPs. Anything else worth checking out?

There's six super robot wars LPs in the archive, and those are big crossover RPGs between licenced series. Really long and text heavy, but really cool as well, since you can see things like, say Voltron getting in a punch up with Gundams. Brunom1, LP machine that he is is currently LPing SRW UX if you want something ongoing.

Also search youtube for LPs of V or X if you dare take the risk, since those are both officially out in English.

https://lparchive.org/White-Knight-Chronicles-I-II/ - good LP, bad game, good examination of the game and how it could've been good. Some of the LPer's humor is corny, but I had a good time reading it overall.

https://lparchive.org/Drakengard/ - Great LP, bad game, nutty game story. If you like it, read the Drakengard 2/3 + Nier LPs, also by Dark Id.

https://lparchive.org/Lunar-Dragon-Song/ - Good LP, bad game, REALLY bad game, probably the most in line with your request.

e: Some more in a similar vein

https://lparchive.org/Xenogears-(by-The-Dark-Id)/ - It sure is an overambitious jrpg that goes to some weird places, and this is a good comprehensive LP of it!

https://lparchive.org/Golden-Sun/ - Good LP of a REALLY bad jrpg, it's thorough and again tries to figure out how it could've been good, if it had a good editor/writer at the helm.

https://lparchive.org/Final-Fantasy-Tactics-Advance/ - Good LP of a good game, mostly included because it's OFS shattering a game over their knee, again. :getin:

https://lparchive.org/The-3rd-Birthday/ - Good LP of a bad game, just, dreadful.

https://lparchive.org/Vampires-Dawn/ - Good LP of a RPGMaker vampire game, it's, ahahaha it's fun to read.

https://lparchive.org/Jack-Orlando/ - World's dumbest adventure game gets a silly LP

https://lparchive.org/Bloodnet/ - Great cyberpunk vibe, stupid game, good LP that I enjoyed reading

https://lparchive.org/Avalon-Code/ - Didja Redo works their magic and turns a mediocre game into a genuinely amazing jrpg.

There's Mega64's LP of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Remastered, which is some goober's RPG Maker "remake" of Mystic Quest. I think it's completed (I stopped reading it midway through due to not having played MQ in forever and having forgotten most of the plot points), and the parts I read were real fun. It's not nearly as bad as Reborn (because gently caress Reborn), but it's more like Grade-B sci-fi bad, so the game is more enjoyable on its own.

So this is a weird question but I dunno anywhere else I could put it: Does anyone know what happened to didja redo? Specifically if he went on to make other LPs or something elsewhere? He hasn't posted on SA in a few years but he made cool narrative LPs.
alternately I guess are there other cool narrative LPs you guys would recommend?

Can't say about the former, but as for the latter, this non-Goon narrative VLP is much funnier than it has any right to be.

Ehn, I'm gonna counter that point and say I thought the LP was an interesting read, especially as I'm someone who played and loved Golden Sun and the sequel as a kid. Back then it felt great to have handheld games with so much story, but Quovak provides pretty thorough reasoning for why more :words: aren't necessarily better. I'm actually replaying Golden Sun right now, keeping that LP in mind.

In short: It's great if you're in the mood for storytelling critiques, but prepare to see the games torn apart.

I agree that Golden Sun LP is cool and a good example of an LP where the person making it when above and beyond to really showcase the game instead of just playing it. The showcase just happened to throw light on some unfavorable things.

I assume he just got busy with real life. Good SSLPs are more work than a VLP and I don't even know how you would monetize one so it's harder to justify (hobbies that pay you anything at all is way more addictive, selling a photo for 25 bucks at a local art show in a random bar has justified many thousands of dollars of new camera lenses).

the narrative is extremely weird and sometimes uncomfortable but it's important to call out that that's by design. the playthrough itself is done using the absolute shittiest mercs you can cobble together and as it unsurprisingly turns out, that includes the mercs that are the biggest paper cut outs of real people in the game.

My only contention with that one (and Id would be the first one to agree with me, I bet) is that it really shows its age with the amount of mean spirited gay jokes in it. Drakengard was the LP that put Id on the map, and it was fantastic over all, but he's really matured in the decade since them.

I don't have the tweet handy, but at some point in the past year or so, Id called his past self out for the writing there.

I guess that means we need a new Drakengard LP.

Also feel free to toss in anything that's sort of in that vein, especially if they have real knowledge on whatever survivaly things are going on in game.

Jade Star's X-Com: Enemy Within and XCOM 2 LPs are a fantastic look at those games, though a lot of the nuances behind his decisions are explained in the accompanying text posts. Also the expack for 2 wasn't out yet, so it's just the base game + the DLC for that one.

For Civilization 5, I'm rather partial to Smight's hours of whupping on the AI. His strategy is shaped to an extent by the difficult AI he's playing against, but he does a good job of explaining his thought process.

Some recommendations that showed up in the off-site thread recently for some reason included Hadrian who has a thorough Civ V tutorial series, but otherwise seems to mostly focus on Civ VI along with a smattering of other newer strategy stuff. The other was SB who seems to have a little bit of everything. I was personally interested to watch him play the Endless games, but he's also got series on almost every notable strategy title from the last couple of years, from Into the Breach to Total Warhammer to Invisible Inc.

Lastly, if you want to learn the ins and outs and see some fantastic campaigns of Rome Total War and Medieval Total War, Many a True Nerd's are fun, if incredibly lengthy watches. He also plays kind of everything, including Total Warhammer and Stellaris, so there's more beyond just those two runs.
