Seconding Demon's Souls. The game is ridiculously hard, but Squint is really loving good at it. When I played it, I got pissed at the Flame Lurker (repeated deaths) only to get to that point on the LP and watch him handle the rear end in a top hat on the first go <  >

Not in the same league as Pokemon, but there've been at least three Resident Evil 4 LPs. Freelance Astronauts did one ages ago, there was an awesome SSLP one, and there's another one by DO IT TO IT and his buddies that just wrapped up. All of them are pretty nice LPs, though

Triglav posted:This is going to seem like a broad request, but what are some good subtitled LPs, preferably of FPSes?  Pretty steady stream of subtitles, and it's pretty darn light-hearted (as it should be!).Also, in the third person shooter vein, there's The Man with a Hat's LP of Dead Space, which is a pretty darn informative jaunt of sorts. His normal (first) play-through is subtitled, and his second one (hardest mode, for maximum suffering) is with voice commentary. Geop fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Oct 10, 2010 |

Tempest_56 posted:While an offsite LP, this one for Silent Hill: Homecoming is awesome because of one amazing gimmick - the LPer uses YouTube's annotations to actually insert QTEs and choose-your-own-adventure options into the video. I was blown away when the first one came up and I realized that I was actually being required to hit the X button on the video pane to continue.

Heh. It does sound like an underhanded comment, but commentary relaxing enough that it puts you to sleep is a pretty nice thing. A prime example of this would definitely be CannibalK9's The Void. I think he went on hiatus for a brief spell when I was watching, so I still have the final episode or two to watch at some point. Anyhow, the episodes are lengthy and the commentary is unique and quite nice from an artistic angle.

Have you seen any of Freelance Astronauts, Chip Cheezum's, or Tipping 40s stuff? Any of those three have enough videos to keep you occupied for a good while. Also, definitely give Mercenaries 2 & Lost Planet 2 a look. Helloitsdan & Lithuanian Dad are a pretty fantastic co-op pair Also in the co-op sort of angle, Resident Evil 5 with RChimp Cola & Sinatrapod is definitely one of my favorites.

The Dark Id, Novasol, and DidjaRedo did some pretty fantastic stuff! Novasol also did Shining Force CD, but it looks like it never got on to the LP Archive. If you have archives enabled, you could probably dig for the thread. Edit: Here it is. Used Waffleimages, though, so some stuff is probably missing

On a JRPG-ish sort of note, give TyrantSabre's LP of Infinity Space a stab. It's an awesome, on-going romp through a gem of a game that most folks didn't give an honest shot. Informative, funny, and well-done overall. Definitely give it a look!

Reaching back a ways (two years old? Goodness!), but I think folks should give TyrantSabre's LP of The Saboteur a watch. The game itself is by Pandemic, who were responsible for that lovely game known as Mercenaries 2. Anyhow, it's tightly-edited, has lots of nifty musical inserts, funny commentary, and Nazi-killin'. Oh, and bad accents (SKOYLUR  ).Anyhow, I lost track of it when it was on-going, but noticed it on the archive the other day and have been zipping my way through it. Highly recommended

Niggurath posted:Maybe give Davidspackage LP of Stonekeep a try. Very informative commentary over a nice little slice of 90's WRPG'ing. It's especially nice if you've never heard of the series and you can get a good idea of the way the game was such a trainwreck. Largely because Stonekeep & Grimrock are the sorts of games that I want to be good at, but it always goes poorly. It's nice to see someone play it intelligently for a change

Harvey Mantaco posted:Are there any LP's out there that work well with just listening to the audio component of them? Additionally, there are MP3 versions set aside (podcasty format) which would be easier than streaming entire videos. They're pretty good about announcing most rolls, so it's not like you're blind as to how things are going. I honestly didn't know squat about D&D going in to it, and now I think I understand it enough to where I could play competently. To some degree. Possibly

davidspackage's LP of Stonekeep just finished up! It's a skilled run-through of the game, sprinkled with bits of information regarding the game's development and unfortunate flop. Can't recommend it enough! Also, be sure to watch the videos he put together to address the ending, as well as the baking video. Yes, baking! Kind of tied to this, Agent335's LP of Legend of Grimrock is a nice follow-up. Agent335 & Olesh make a number of Stonekeep & Eye of the Beholder references (which are, of course, pretty relevant given the game's dungeon-crawl nature), and it really helps drive home the care that the developers put in to making the game a throw-back to older titles of the genre. A skilled LP is one thing, but I really like hearing input from folks who played older titles and have something to relate it to. Given how atrocious my coordination is in the game, a skilled playthrough is a welcome sight. Adding to that, it's a 100%-style run which is showing off all the secrets. Definitely give it a look if you enjoy the Stonekeep LP! They seem to go together quite nicely, in my opinion. Edit: Coherency needed. Need caffeine.

Gotta recommend that folks give the Amulets and Armor LP a look. It's a game that most folks probably never heard of, and it has some sort of a rough, aged charm to it It's a Doom-era FPS RPG which never really got all that much attention. Mzbundifund & Bacter are playing it co-op style, with each of them recording their perspective (much like the Left4Dead LPs were done). Mzbundifund is the more familiar of the two with the game, whereas Bacter is coming at it from a blind-ish approach. The editing is very nice, and, more importantly, the commentary and banter is quite entertaining. I ended up zipping through the episodes to date rather quickly There should definitely be more folks following it.

I'd like to recommend Viva Vizer's Mirror's Edge LP, which just wrapped up. He goes through the game rather organically, meaning he'll pan around kind of like "okay, this is where you need to go" like a first-time player would. UNLIKE a first time player, he pretty flawlessly tromps through the game No goof-ups were left in the footage; speaking of which, he recorded it all at a pretty high quality. If you want a quick, laid back LP of a gorgeous game, definitely give it a look.

The Dead Rising 2 co-op style LP with ritcheyz & Skoolmunkee is pretty amazing; definitely give it a watch if you want some silly bro-op shenanigans! ritcheyz is pretty well-versed on the game, while Skoolmunkee is going through it blind. Given how these games have a nice amount of goofiness to 'em, things don't always go as planned; particularly when a bright, shiny new toy or snazzy outfit is lying about. I could go in to more detail, but I think this GIF will give you an idea of what I mean.
