Psychedelic Eyeball made it a ways into doing a Binding of Isaac LP before running out of steam; you can find the videos on his YouTube. There's just too much poo poo in that game to unlock (sometimes literally!) and each individual run unlocks relatively little new stuff, though, so it's not surprising he didn't finish it.

Jon Do posted:Has anyone got any techincally/mechanically challenging game type LP reccomendations? I love XCOM, stuff like that. I'm a big fan of informative LPs, given the right personality for the dry subject matter. Gods Will Be Watching, kind of? The scenarios are a lot of "keep all these plates spinning" things, and the LPer demonstrates effective tactics for each scenario to minimize the RNG screw. DoctorKill's OoT and Majora's Mask LPs are also great technical breakdowns of famous games, and show some really weird ways to go about "playing" them. Like doing all the adult dungeons as a child and all the child dungeons as an adult, for example.

Happiness Commando posted:I can't remember the name of the game that was LPed a while ago - it featured an overworld map that was populated by special items that you planted, and inside each area was sidescroll-y action. There was a crazy complex build order for the overworld map as certain things had to be planted in certain places to be able to access 100% of the content. I vaguely remember it looking like the SNES 16 bit era. Help? The overworld sounds exactly like Legend of Mana, but not the sidescrolliness or rankings. Any chance you're getting two games combined in your mind? What was the action content like?

Petr posted:Is there a LP of Rogue Legacy where the player is actually competent, either here or somewhere else? I find that game really relaxing to watch, but most of the let's players I've seen are terrible to the point of it being irritating. Our very own Smite did an LP of Rogue Legacy, and considering that he was (is?) speedrunning it, he's competent. Link.

Nihilarian posted:I didn't get to watch much of SGDQ 2016. Any standout runs? Honestly I found this SGDQ to be a bit underwhelming. Still, from what I've watched so far, PJ is usually good watching; he did a 100% of Bionic Commando (NES) this year. I also enjoyed The Goonies II (2P race), Skyblazer (but I'm a sucker for that game), Freedom Planet (gets pretty well snapped by the player), Gargoyle's Quest 2, much of the Elder Scrolls block (plus Two Worlds), the SMW race, and of course Pepsiman. Disclaimer: personal tastes may apply.

Thuryl's LPs in general, and Chokes McGee's Wizardry/Final Fantasy Legend LPs are both good screenshot LPs. They do the whole "give personalities to generic PCs and have witty dialog" thing. There's also the Icewind Dale 2 LP, which is similar. Those're all on lparchive.org.

How about multiplayer LPs? For awhile, years ago, the Freelance Astronauts' run of New Super Mario Bros Wii was my go-to source of laughs if I needed a pick-me-up. Anything similar these days? TooMuchAbstraction fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Sep 7, 2016 |

I remember it, but I can't find it either. It was something like a "chill" necromancer or something like that. But it looks like it didn't get archived. And there's a million lovely D2 LPs on YouTube.

SleepCycles on YouTube has like 500+ Nuclear Throne videos, if you want to see the same 16 levels played over and over again. The XCOM: Long War LP has 121 missions so far, and several of the missions are multi-part videos.

LordHippoman posted:I'm gonna have a ton of monotonous work to do on my computer over the next few weeks, so I'm looking for a long (or just multiple) VLP(s). Preferably nothing that I have to pay too much attention to to follow, since I'll be multitasking. ...but you already finished the wood grind.  More seriously, IronChitlin's Grimrock LP should fit the bill; you don't really need to watch it to understand what's going on, and the banter's good.

YggiDee posted:I'd you're burnt out on unfair dungeon crawls, I don't think loving Wizardry is the solution, at least if the Wizardry I & IV LPs are anything to go by. "Unfair" and "tedious" are entirely different things. You can be a masochist without being into repeating the same fight over and over again until you're strong enough to repeat a different fight over and over again.

Indeed, the ROMHackeria thread is a thing, and would probably be an appropriate place to post your videos. There's already someone doing a VLP of the FF6 Randomizer there, for example.

TheSoulian posted:Whats a good lp in the style of Orange Fluffy Sheep? Where the LPer just breaks the game over their knee. Preferably screenshot. What you probably want is challenge runs, since those are the ones where the LPer is looking to demonstrate systems mastery. Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but if you haven't seen Quovak's low-level challenge for Chrono Trigger, you really should. It's a trip.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:
All LPs are at least one of a) terrible, b) fanfic, and c) mechanistic explorations of the game. I'd like to take this moment to recommend Thuryl's Might & Magic LPs, all on the archives. And while we're at it, Nakar's Ultima LPs are pretty good, though 6, Martian Dreams, and 7 are the strongest IMO.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:I recall his Shadow of the Colossus LP actually being rather good, featuring a nice exploration of the environment as well as lesser known details, like grabbing the birds or hunting the lizards. He genuinely can do a good LP when he isn't sticking to his tiresome shtick. Yeah, you don't get that kind of viewership without understanding at least some aspects of showmanship and production and so on. His approach is just kind of diametrically opposed to the SA approach.

If you like the concept of Metal Wolf Chaos (and if you don't then what are you doing here?) but find the LPs a bit too slow-going as I did, fortunately it was run for Summer Games Done Quick 2014, by Murphagator. The speedrun should give you plenty of the game experience but in a nice digestible two hours.

Getsuya posted:What are some great informative strategy game video LPs? I suck at that whole genre, everything from X-COM to 4X games to empire building games, and LPs are especially fun if you're watching someone who is very good at games you are very bad at, since you'll never get to experience them for yourself. Thotimx is doing a Masters of Orion 1 LP right now, getting a win with every race on the highest difficulty.
