You're all garbage, back up the truck BACK IT UP!
The villains that reproduce by converting other species into themselves not having loving tasers still drives me nuts. A plot hole you could fit a galaxy through.

I liked the premise of the idea, I'll say that much. They were effectively the Borg from Star Trek only biological instead of mechanical. The problem was that Exaltation didn't seem like it was really any kind of a threat. Oh, we see it done to a couple of Angarans once or twice and then that's it. It should have been that the Kett could Exalt any species. It would have turned them from an after thought into a credible threat instantly.

I like watching trainwrecks. Pokecapn’s Sonic 2k6 is still one of my all time faves and I miss the posse something fierce.

So that said, any good Mass Effect Andromeda LPs? I know there’s one going on at the moment but it seems to be a narrative RP of sorts and like the LPer doesn’t think the game is hot garbage so not sure it’s up my alley.

What Andromeda let's play? The only one on the LP database is one that lasted about a week about a year ago and the person doing it decided to cancel it before they even got out of the tutorial.
Is there another one? I'd be 100% fine with a narrative let's play. I'm just curious how the plot ends.

That may well be it. I only read the OP from the master list and didn’t bother checking the date since it didn’t interest me. I’m on the train with a lovely connection at the moment or else I’d check.

I feel like you missed some pretty major plot stuff, because they definitely can Exalt any species, and do it to some Krogans and I think other Ark folks during the course of the game.

Good luck. I requested 6 once, and it fell off the list, and off the bubble.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 have been done. 6 and 11 have never been touched. 8 and 9 have been abandoned, though 9 does have one that's currently on hiatus, but not abandoned yet.

That hasn't been done? Really? Weird. I figured that was a game that was done to death.

I'd like to do it, but I would kind of want to do the 3DS version and 3DS capture is wonky/prohibitively expensive/bad.

I think dragon warrior 6 missed it's time due to translation timings. Games like dragon warrior 5 were fan translated eons before an official port of dragon warrior 6 came out. Then on top of that the port of dragon warrior 6 has some fundamental gameplay differences. This goes on to mean that there isn't a definitive version of dragon warrior 6 to even play. People were let's playing dragon warrior/quest 5 several years before dragon warrior 6 was even ported to nds and then ported to english.

Although as a fan of the series, I've played dragon warrior 1-5+7,9. Skipping 6 and 8 because I didn't have the correct video game system, or language skills to play them. This is why I'd be super duper keen for a complete let's play of dragon warrior 6 or dragon quest 8. They'd complete my collection. That's probably what you guys want to.

Dumb idea, but recently I’ve been watching fucktons of playthroughs of NCAA Football 14’s Dynasty Mode. Basically, the premise is that you play as a head coach of either an already established school or a custom team and build your team from the ground up by recruiting new players, improving on the ones you already have and by seeing the fruits of your labor as you play games.

Would be interesting to see how the goons do it, especially if someone wants to lean heavily into the roleplay aspects of it.

Very excited to see the Nioh VLP here. Are there any other Nioh VLPs from people who are similarly knowledgeable/experienced in the game, but are more into showing off the story/items/lore ala EpicNameBro with Dark Souls? The Time Warriors/TheLastRoboKy LP seems great but I'm frequently thinking that I'd like to hear that dialog or read that text.

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but Slowbeef did stream a playthrough of the base game where he had a co-commentator who knew a lot about Japanese mythology, first video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJV8RnBGbMQ.
He was playing more or less blind, though.

I'd like to request someone play Vestaria Saga. SSLP would be most appropriate. What's this game? Well it's a 1990s (early 90s) style fire emblem game, only for some reason, someone made it and released it in 2019.

Not just anyone made it; Kaga, the main guy responsible for FE from 1-5 was the guy behind Vestaria.

It's on my list but I'm early on into a series of games so it may take a while for me to get to it. If anyone else is up for the challenge then feel free, if not then it will be on the cards at some point this year.

I'd love to see an LP of Spellforce. It's an RTS-RPG hybrid with a (from what I hear) rather bonkers storyline, but I just can't stand the thing's interface. Strategy games are hard to LP but one can always wish, right?

I went ahead and started the Control thread. I was hoping to build up a bit more backlog first, but the process is smooth enough that I should be able to hit the ground running and get to the meat of the game quickly.

I'm thinking of starting an LP of Super Mario RPG Randomized, but I don't think it's going to be big enough to warrant its own thread. I was thinking of posting it in that "small LPs" community thread, but I can't seem to find it (granted, I only looked back four pages). Is it still a thing, or did the thread die?

This is technically a request, so...

Absolutely not stupid. I'm with you on watching a whole lot of Dynasty mode. Also lets me know that at least SOMEONE might be into that. :v:

I've been toying around with a few ideas on where to go with something like that, and also toying around with editing statistics and ratings, and making things more "interesting" (if you call playing games where everyone is a 40 overall "interesting"....it does lead to some hilarious outcomes). I'm hoping to start in a few months, when I maybe have the time to actually get into it.

Hope that might whet your appetite.
