VLP, VLP!

I support you in your suffering!

I'd like to do a VLP of it, because I legitimately love the game despite the insane garbage heap it is (I really really like transformation stuff), but I'm not personable enough for that. According to others from my role playing site days, I sound like a robot (and JonTron is already taken, thereby ruining the best name).

WKC's myriad of problems.

My biggest flaw was the implementation of an Avatar MC that gets ignored in favor of Leonard. Nobody creates their Marty/Mary Sue character after being promised a story about them and likes the fact they just play fifth fiddle to loving Leonard.

As for Akihiro Hino, that poo poo just happens in games. He's not exactly a rare outlier. I just wrapped the World of Final Fantasy Maxima LP where I included a four part miniseries delving into the trash fire that FF expanded universes always turn into. Nojima was involved in a lot of major moments in FF, but he also went on to write FFX novels and audio dramas endorsed by Square where Tidus gets blown up by a bomb after being psuedo-transported through time and then summoned back by Yuna by her wishing it. Everyone is vulnerable to descending into madness, regardless of previous brilliance.

If you'd have fun with it, do it. Everyone hates their own voice.

I loathe my voice but I have a ton of fun making lps.

Like I've complained about my voice and people go "yeah...."

But if they don't like it they don't have to watch.

If you want to do it, do it. I hate the sound of my voice and I've done far too many VLPs. Plus I'd love to see someone do the inverse take on the game from mine, coming from a position of adoration rather than frustration. Besides, I find being "personable" in an LP is something that comes with just getting comfortable with doing it over time, or having a good set of co-commentators to back you up.

For the curious, the disc I broke at the end of the original LP was a separate copy I went out and bought at a used game store for like $20. I held on the broken disc shards, but I can't recall if they survived the move to my new place or not.

The shards of Narsil...

On-topic, is there a good, comprehensive LP of Mankind Divided out there? Doesn't have to be SA, but preferably post-commentary without facecam.

It's so loving weird too, because the crew behind WKC also put out some legit good content before and after it. Like, I ragged on Akihiro Hino all across the LP, but the dude did also write the Professor Layton games, Inazuma Elevem, Ni no Kuni, Dark Cloud and Yo-kai Watch. So the guy's got his share of skill and talent,
Eh, Level 5 hammers out tons of poo poo, and never seems to learn on a company scale. They also keep trying to turn everything into a game/anime/toys franchise.

It's an idea I suppose. I have been wanting to try out different types of LPs to see which is most fun. I'll keep it in mind. WKC is a serious time investment. I'd probably test the VLP waters with something like Farpoint first.

I had to import that from the UK. The only thing I can remember about it are the transformation sequences. It's barely a WKC game.

Any good LPs of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain? Currently watching one by Alexey on youtube but it's not really my style because it's clumsy. Preferably something chill, informative, and in-depth. Doesn't have to be on SA.

Honestly I'd give Chuggaconroys lp a try. It's a few years old, and it has that typical Chuggaaconroy flavour, but it's by far the most comprehensive Xenoblade let's play out there.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Chuggaa’s honestly probably your best bet. Sure, he’s got his distinct style and reads all of the unvoiced dialogue out loud, but on the otherhand, its probably the most comprehensive Xenoblade Chronicles video series you could find out there.

Finished part 1 of WKC, and I don't know what bothers me more:

Fridging a well-developed antagonist with a connection to the main plot and a relatively complex relationship to the rest of the main characters another character in favor of Blandy-McEyepatch,

or,

Ripping off the Nazgul theme note-for-note like you're Vanilla Ice.

I've been rediscovering the Space Station 13 LP by Razage: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3568045

I don't really know how to explain it. It's a multiplayer game that generally descends into chaos in usually epic proportions. They usually start off chilled and informative but soon devolve into random insanity and hilarity.

I'm looking for a truly instructive LP of Crusaders Kings 2, either recent or applicable to the current state of the game. I don't mind text or video, goon-made or of a third party, just not the usual narrative kind.

Has anyone on or off SA done a decent comprehensive/ informative LP of The Witcher games? I’ve repeatedly tried to get into all three of them and the gameplay just does nothing for me, but I always found the writing and story to be really interesting. There’s nothing on LP archive and I’m afraid to jump into the YouTube swamp without any guidance.

There's one of the Blood and Wine expansion, but I don't know how in depth it is. A comprehensive one of the base game for witcher 3 would be like 100 hours long, minimum.

I saw Split/Second on the schedule for SGDQ and it reminded me that the LP of it done here on the forums was really good. Extremely high level play showing off everything there is to see in the super ridiculous racing game, it's worth checking out if you missed it.

I wouldn't really call it informative, it was a blind run, but it's here if you'd like to check it out. We did pretty much every quest that's not Gwent and got all the endings.

Christopher Odd has done comprehensive playthroughs of all three games. He does read out documents, but there's no silly voices and he knows to shut up for cutscenes, so that puts him ahead of 99% of all Youtube LPers. I'd say he's your best bet for the series.

Anyone seen an informative-educational Assassin's Creed Origins LP? I like ancient Egypt and would like to see someone who knows a lot about it play the game.

Failing that, an actual entertaining playthrough would work. So far, I've only found jackasses that mistakenly think we want to see them on camera or jackasses who pretend to be surprised at everything.

Highwang's LP is pretty good, covers everything except the latest DLC. He's played the base game at least once with a co-commentator going in blind, so it's very informative.
