I want to point out that my Battlefield 4 LP isn't in the archives yet, it's still in process, actually, so that may have to get updated in the future.

It seems improper not to mention our former host. Daikatana by Proteus4994 and Suspicious - The most over-hyped game of the decade gets more than it deserves when Proteus and Suspicious make John Romero their bitch. And since it popped up in the recommendations, GOD HAND by Kung Fu Jesus and friends - Back when Platinum was Clover, they made the most awesome fighting/action game you never played.

Bobbin Threadbare's lp of the 3 Thief games should go under Atmospheric. The commentary is laid back and the games are classics. This is also one of those games we had under the Insomnia list.

I think the games I mentioned earlier and elaborated upon by Curtiss / Paper Lion could go into laid back, at least in spirit. Anyway, a good (and underappreciated) example of an atmospheric LP could be Alice: Madness Returns. JustAFriend and Sinatrapod guide us through a completionist run of a game that is notorious for having way more style than substance. Thanks to their subdued but smart and overall dryly humorous commentary you can enjoy the creative audio-visual and story aspects of Alice without suffering through the repetitive platformer gameplay.

Might have enough for now  I'll clean up the formatting across the next few days or so (making it consistent).

Geop posted:The World Ends with You, by Orange Fluffy Sheep: One of the best JRPG to come from Square in the last years. The game drops the usual fantasy setting for modern-day Tokio and changes potions into hamburgers, equipment into garish fashion statements and angst into the most Was Tokyo supposed to be misspelled here?

character in the story of videogames. OFS does a great job of showing everything the game has to offer, up to and including the post-game. (Recommended by Fat Samurai)

The new OP should also include a notification that the huge banner saying "This LP is also available on the Internet Archive!" isn't an advertisement, and you shouldn't be afraid of opening it, no matter what your years-reinforced anti-banner instincts tell you.

I always miss that darn Internet Archive link. It blends in with the header too much.

nine-gear crow posted:Done. I'm glad you used the term semi-narrative, because I was wondering if semi-narrative is a distinct category or not. Semi-narrative SSLP's tend to be mostly played straight and informative, but have a framing story, or add in commentary by in-universe characters which basically stays separate from on-screen events. An example is Tales of Graces (by wdarkk) To me that's a bit different than full narrative LP's, where there is a great deal of additional content and is woven into on-screen events a lot. But the distinction is not always clear. GTA: San Andreas by Jerusalem is a rather remarkable LP which tries, and for the most part, succeeds, in smoothly creating a narrative blending story and side events into this 100% completion run of the sandbox game.

Geop posted:Grab-Bags/Megathreads/Miscellaneous Then if it's okay, I'll recommend the Hard Games Thread, a collection of LPs of predominately older games that were still being designed to squeeze extra coins out of your pocket and into the arcade machines, being played by people who make them look like cakewalks. And then also the Racing Thread, spawned after the Meat Boy bonus races kept on happening. Good for longform entertainment, bordering on background noise podcasts of people talking about random topics, interspersed with freaking out at things happening in the game.

No offense to those of recommended, but I notice a couple LPers appear more than once on the list. I at least feel that we have a large enough base of quality and entertaining LPers that we can examples from unique posters in each category. Just a thought. edit: because I forgot how to write Sally fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Jul 9, 2014 |

It's something I'm doing right now in one of own LPs, and I'd be a little offended if it was written off by someone as a full-on narrative when I'm still quoting the game verbatim and nothing I add to it in terms of content or commentary is going to change the direction of the plot or what happens and I'm still addressing it like I'm presenting an interpretation of a video game to people rather than fanfiction that just so happens to have cool pre-made visual elements to it.

Just quickly, the dongs.exe LP is not a SSLP, it's a comedic VLP.

One more for the laid-back category: Kirby's Dream Course by Psymonkey - chill, pleasant commentary while still showing great skill at a unique and interesting game.
