I say this with peace and love, this man heard about us and somehow opted to enter in chronologically with the LP we did in 2004 or whatever it was. I don't think we are going to "work" for this type of person, and thats ok. I appreciate the kind words though, thank you.

Any recommendations for Way of the Samurai 2+? Someone did the first one here a good while back, but that looks to be the only one.

Someone who knows what they're doing, preferably.

I'm looking for an SSLP from a couple years ago that I can't seem to find on the LPArchive. It was of a game called "Fate of the world". The game is about global warming; the player takes the role of the director of a international organization tasked with making global policy decisions about things like implementing electric vehicles, banning coal and oil power, etc. The LP was a goon participation one where goons voted on which policies to implement. Does anyone have a link to the thread archive?

Is there an informative/lore exploration LP for Little Nightmares and its DLC?

Failing that, any informative/lore exploration of horror games in general? I've already gone through the recommended LPs in the OP.

The Little Nightmares LP currently on the forum has some "Let's Explain" side videos that go into the lore a bit. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3836104

The main LP isn't very lore heavy, although I think it was nicely done. The main game is finished, but it looks like the LPer has too much life stuff going on to get to the DLC anytime soon though.

So I'm not quite sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's there.

I know that the original requester said he was already going to watch it, but I wanted to add my kudos to this LP. It's exceptionally well done, and JohnOfOrdo3 does a great job giving Six more personality.

I'll Nth this recommendation. The only other VLP that even comes close to how the Subtitles are incorporated into the game is RealSovietBear's VLP of "Typing of the Dead: Overkill". It's a joy to watch.

Okay. This is an odd one, but Dan/Nerd Cubed and Jon/Many A True Nerd's The Crew 2 road trip might just be the best thing on Youtube since Bully Demise. It's genuinely a Top Gear special, but with a bunch of even less competent clowns trying to do a road trip across the whole of America, with no HUD. Marvel at how broken The Crew 2's map is in the corners that nobody should visit, gawk at the repeated signs for Wine Country and how you can travel in a circle - but San Bernadino is always 5 miles away - and enjoy lovely mountainside vistas as the dumbass that brought a Harley Davidson dies repeatedly on a mountain climb.

It uses three perspectives, Dan's, Jon's and the third guy, Matt's, so there's hardly ever a dull moment. It's only up to part 3 so far, and they've gone from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

This is fantastic and my only complaint is that I wish the episodes were longer, really. The journey to Seattle is goddamn glorious; I'm not great at geography, but even I know that Death Valley is in California and not Nevada. I can't wait for the realization of just how wrong that claim was to kick in.

Apparently Nerd^3 walked across the US in The Crew 2 a month ago.

Edit: OK, didn't walk all the way, because the map stops loading assets some distance away from the starting camp.
