Lunethex and co.'s LP of the Syphon Filter series. I was laid up in bed sick for a week and binged the PS1 trilogy over like 3 days. There were so many moments where I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath.

Is there anyone out there who has done good in-depth VLPs of the Shin Megami Tensei series? I'm not particularly interested in the Persona games so much, everyone and their dog has done those so far, but finding good quality LPs of the other games in the series and spin-offs is bloody hard.

This isn't the kind of adventure game that I'm used to LP'ing.

I'm reading the reviews right now:

-Bullet impact physics are ridiculously strong when shooting the car.
-The car itself can get stuck on a small ridges.
-The car can also drive under the water.

poo poo, I've done weirder (and more perverted) games. I'd be willing to make another poor investment of time and money.

I doubt anyone would want a screenshot LP though, so I think I'd be more willing to jump in as a co-commentator of a VLP.

I actually prefer screenshot LPs, you can read them as fast as you like and very few people can actually provide entertaining commentary throughout the whole lengths of a series of longass unedited videos.

You know I've often thought to myself, while hauling 7 tons of cheese from Oslo to Berlin, "I wish I could pull over occasionally to play a little Recettear, dabble in voyeurism, and battle wolves with a handgun in the middle of a forest."

Everything about this game tells me "Yes." I'm only fearful of it not living up to the strangeness of the trailer.

Good to know! SSLP's are the only ones I'm experienced with. I've done some videos before, but none where I have to provide solo commentary.

I'll look into doing this, assuming nobody else is already in the process of getting it running.

Far be it from me to step on anyone else's toes when it comes to doing an LP. I don't want to go dropping in and swiping someone else's opportunity.

Assuming that's what you referring to. If you meant "gentleman" in the sense that I nominated myself for an insane :toxx: request when nobody else would, then I think the appropriate word for that is "masochist" or possibly "idiot."

That said...

Before I bite the metaphorical bullet on this: Is this truly a request anyone wants filled? As much of a laugh as we've had at that trailer, I have my doubts that the actual game will be as insane/weird/unhinged as everyone might be hoping for. That trailer is definitely specifically designed to click-bait people into buying it (assuming that the uncanny valley women fail to achieve that on their own).

Don't get me wrong. I do not mind taking a shot at this. I just want to make sure that the people backing this as a request are determined to weather whatever storm might be unleashed.

Try it out sometime! You might surprise yourself. I've had a go at most formats at this point amd it has really helped me figure out what I enjoy doing the most. SSLP... solo VLP... group VLP... HLP...

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
I watched a stream of Together BnB a few days ago, and it's definitely interesting, but before undertaking an LP, be aware that it's got about three plot points and then just stops and says "welp, that's early access for you, guess you just gotta do the dating stuff until we finish". So there's not much there. What IS there is probably worth showing off, and I'm contemplating doing that myself just for a laugh, but don't expect to get much closure. Also, it looks like the game runs really poorly even on top-end systems with the settings turned all the way down, so prepare for technical problems.

Also, it looks like the game runs really poorly even on top-end systems with the settings turned all the way down, so prepare for technical problems.

So here's the thing: Nidoking is correct about this. In its current state, the game has maybe 2 or 3 screenshot-style updates in it.

From playing through it myself for a little over an hour. It definitely has a surreal feeling to it. I did get quite a few laughs out of what I saw.

But I don't know if that's enough to make it worth creating a dedicated LP thread for. I could certainly come back to the LP as major content patches hit, but that would create an LP which only gets maybe 1 or 2 updates every couple of months (possibly. This game could spend the next 5 years in Early Access for all I know).

As it is right now, the game is good for about 1 or 2 hours of laughs in a video format. What I could do instead of an SSLP is to use the footage I captured and attempt to create a captioned video.


Since this is the request thread, please quote this in the Sandcastle if you intend to reply to what I wrote. I don't want to clog up the request thread with more LP discussion.

It's been offline since 2010, so I suspect a new VLP of it would be impractical at this stage.

The Neroimus War part of the game is offline, but the single player mode is still playable. The online mode had no bearing on the main game anyway and was kind of hard as poo poo anyway, so who cares.

Hmmm... Well, this has given me something to think about at the very least.
