Here's some finished LPs from LPF I really enjoyed. While most of us from LPF are on SA as well some just aren't, which deprives you of some genuinely great LPs. Hitman: Contracts by Sabateini: Sab knows the game really well which shows in his commentary and gameplay. He focuses on showing several approaches to each Level too, which is a big draw of the game. Just Cause 2 by Speedyard: Speedyard does a great job of showing us why the game is fun with his entertaining commentary. The first two or so episodes are a little weaker than the rest but they still are far from bad.

I thought the point was less to put LPs that are already popular into the spotlight, but more to show the more overlooked but still great LPs you can find occasionally. So maybe exclude threads that have gone gold? Or have a visible rating? (Dunno how many votes it takes for one to appear)

The main problem I have with Epic Name Bro is that he can't hold a train of thought for longer than five seconds before getting distracted when doing live commentary and yet thinks his live commentary flows better. It's basically "I have something interesting to say but here's that thing you don't care about instead. So that thing you don't care about is done? Okay cool, so about that interesting thing, no wait there's this other thing you don't care about I might as well not talk about at all coming up, let me discuss that in detail and then trail off and never mention that cool sounding thing again" The above simply makes his vids unbearable to watch for me. Highest chance of someone else making a decent more informative LP is whenever the next Dark Souls II LP starts here. I was kinda expecting more people than just me starting one up but aside from one guy in the Sandcastle who apparently decided not to do it after all for some reason I didn't see anything of the sort. I'd watch a well made one and wouldn't mind someone else doing one at the same time as mine. IGgy IGsen fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Sep 12, 2014 |

It also bears mentioning that by far not every SA LP is actually good and they still get watched and no poo poo at all because they don't do one of the things everybody has a knee-jerk reaction about. I personally don't like very many pure Youtube LPers, if I get the feeling it's more about their person than the game it seems more like a vlog with a video game to me, and to make those interesting to me you gotta be really entertaining. There also are other LP Forums, by the way. A lot of them appear to be mainly Johnny McYoutube's promoting their channels but there's at least one that actually demands quality of its LPers (a little too much, one might argue) but most LPers from there, myself included, post their LPs here as well because there would be almost no thread interaction otherwise due to the lack of an audience. Somehow the LP Forum that costs ten bucks to join is the most biggest one. Mostly because it's not all there is to SA.

Teledahn posted:Check out Best Friend Skull, he did an LP of the game and is pretty great at it. I don't think he ever finished it. I just remember his thread being mysteriously locked all of a sudden and BFS banned. His rap sheet didn't exactly imply ~hilarious~ goon hijinx leading to the ban which put a foul aftertaste in my mouth, having watched his videos. Not that you shouldn't be able to still enjoy his videos, which were probably the best LP videos of the game, it's just that I'm having a hard time.

I missed the first thread when it was active and didn't want to watch an LP that probably wouldn't get finished, ever. But hey, apparently it's gonna be finished now and the first two episodes reminded me of how great the game is.

Niggurath posted:I quite enjoyed DazzlingAddar's informative LP of Dark Souls 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrtVa1sidm0 The thread for that is still going and nearing its end. Though it's on a temporary hiatus right now. Dazz' LP is more similar to Squint's in that she plays through the game with one character and tries to show off as many things as possible that way, while mine has the "gimmick" that it splices in footage from NG++ to show the differences. I haven't watched her entire LP, but as far as I've seen the content is basically the same. So whether or not you prefer one over the other probably just depends on which commentary style you like better and maybe the sounds of our voices.

For my LP I added downloadable links with the Internet Archive as a host anyway. This is something literally anyone can do by the way. Upload poo poo to the IA, that is. If you want to provide download links for your videos that will last just use IA. It's weird to seen an LP taken, down though, must have been at the author's request? That or baldurk was informed of the dead links and removed it because of that.

Well, then go to Genocyber's Bloodborne thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3736613 For all I know this has been recommended here already but it's good enough to warrant a second recommendation.

bunnyofdoom posted:So, is there any LPs of Just Cause 1 and or 2? I wanna see a dashing hispanic murder his way through a small country. Here's a pretty sweet Just Cause 2 LP by Speedyard aka Shotgun Butterfly: http://www.letsplayforum.net/showthread.php?4691-VLP-Just-Cause-2-An-Amusement-Park-of-Chaos He's not a goon so this is an LP people here probably never saw. Unfortunately the linked-to forum is mainly inactive when it comes to LPing these days and the few who still do LP there are goons anyway and also post their LPs here. While Speedy sometimes does stuff I'm not a big fan of in the beginning of the LP (quipping at cutscenes etc.) it gets better as soon as the second episode and he does a great job of showcasing why this game is awesome and he loves it and why you should play it too. His narrates the action in his own unique way. Overall I found his LP very enjoyable. Sadly the guy doesn't LP anymore, which is sad, because he left a very good Arkham Asylum LP unfinished.

Acne Rain posted:what's a good LP of games with bizarre mechanics (like The Void) or hard and obscure puzzles (Riven, La Mulana, etc) Mentioning La-Mulana you may be interested in Agent355's LP of the game http://lparchive.org/La-Mulana-(by-Agent355)/ Agent and co. go through the game in both regular and hard mode explaining how all the puzzles can be solved using in-game clues. It's biggest weakness is the "I have to suffer, so you have to too" mentality when it comes to editing sometimes but despite that occasional flaw it's a very enjoyable LP.

malkav11 posted:What would people recommend as far as completed, informative LPs of Bloodborne and Dark Souls III? (with DLC, ideally). I watched Slowbeef's blind run of Bloodborne and Dazzling Addar's blind run of DSIII, so I've seen the games, but I'd like to see all the little tricks and secrets and stuff and maybe have a better idea of what's going on from a lore perspective. (Also, Addar didn't do the DLC for DSIII, it having not come out at the time, so that'll be new.) Here's Lotus Gramarye's LP of Bloodborne. She does a great job showing off the game thoroughly (+DLC) and highlighting various playstyles and weapons. It's the best informative solo commentary Bloodborne LP I've seen. And a partial reason for why I don't feel the need to make one myself just yet. It's not on SA, but here is Wottermelon's Dark Souls III LP that I can wholeheartedly recommend. The fact that I'm in a few DLC episodes of it has nothing to do with it. This is a Co-commentated LP with rotating guests. Going through the entire game and the DLCs Then there's my own LP of Dark Souls III. Now, to praise this would be unfair because I made it myself. But it too is informative and thorough and opposed to the other Dark Souls III LP I linked, features solo commentary. And of course it includes the DLCs.

I don't remember a lot of making GBS threads on Dark Souls II, but then again, I'm not bothered by that at all because even though I like Dark Souls II making GBS threads on it is a thing that I just kinda do whenever I'm reminded of the game. It's amazing because it's a genuinely amazing game despite doing so many things wrong and it could have been truly great game if its development was just a bit less troubled. But I should cut it here because talking about Dark Souls should actually be forbidden outside of the dedicated threads because it never ends well.

Either ask the LPer if they submitted the LP to the archives or ask baldurk if it's in his queue. LPs don't get archived unless the LPer requests it. So that's the only two ways to find out.

Artix posted:Hey folks, with the new stickies coming down the line, we're going to be merging Requests and Recommendation. Seeing as we're due for a refresh, I feel like we should take the time to throw out some new recommendations for the "official" recommended list or whatever you want to call the list in the second post. This is not to say the current list is bad or anything, but it hasn't been updated in over four years (and a few LPs have been lost, like Kamoc's Silent Hill Homecoming LP; thanks Youtube!). The recommendations don't have to be super long or detailed, but they should quickly get across the appeal of whatever LP you're shilling for, and the format of the LP - see the current list in the second post if you need inspiration. I'll gather em up and post the new list along when the new thread goes up in a couple days. Thanks guys! I love getting in some fresh wind. Some of the current recommendations in the op are of the "Legendary Let's Play" variety but quite a few are good things that existed at the time. Are we gonna keep the current categorization? quote:Solo Commentary Cause I'm not sure this is the best thing necessarily. For instance we got a break between Informative, Narrative and Comedic SSLPs but VLPs get more categories but kinda lack these basic ones. Instead I'd think it'd be better to kinda streamline the categories a bit and just label each LP as an SSLP, VLP, HLP, w/e LP to kinda throw them all in the same pot. I get that there's people who very strongly prefer one over the other but I don't think there's anything a good ctrl+f can't fix. So the format could be like such. quote:You Have To Burn The Rope by Somus Jerkus - [VLP] [Informative] [Solo] And to add actual recommendations for the new OP: Genocyber's Bloodborne LP is probably the best I've seen. It's informative and Geno's got a pretty chill vibe while showing essentially everything including the DLC.
