Geop's Dark Souls LP (with Vicas and various other guests) was not only a great overview of the game, it was also funny, charming, and often surprisingly erudite. One of the best LPs I've watched. Plus, as Lizard Wizard reminds me, "Geop is playing the game blind, whereas his guests know what's what." Which often led to hilarious moments.

The main 'gimmick' of the LP should be mentioned as well - Geop is playing the game blind, whereas his guests know what's what.

Good point. Added that to my post. Ta.

Seconding this. Best horror game LP I've watched to date.

I've never played any of Metal Gear. I know it's a stealth game, with lots of cut-scene talking, bat-poo poo crazy plots, and a bunch of different people--all called Snake. I figure it's time to educate myself.

Looking at the Master List database, there appear to be 14 different games, in no especially obvious order for the most part. Looking at Wikipedia just hammered home how much of it there was, and how sprawling.

I could use some help here, Kojima-fans. What games should I read/watch, and in which order, to get myself somewhere up to speed?

^^^ So, start with Metal Gear 1 and then MG: Snake's Revenge, rather than Metal Gear Solid 1? That should keep me busy for a month or two :) Thx.

Has anyone seen a decent youtube LP of D4 yet? (The SWERY game that just came out a few days ago.) Pretty sure I will never get an Xbox One and the Giant Bomb Quicklook really made me want to see more. The game had me at strangling a guy with an oxygen mask on a plane. :allears:

Something called DSP gaming has done it, but the guy is immediately kinda shouty and annoying.

This guy here appears to be doing a commentary-free playthrough:

Have any good Video LP's ended recently? (last month or so.)

DumbRodent's superb VLP of Outlast + the Whistleblower DLC has just completed. It's the best survival horror LP I've ever come across -- really low-key, well-done voicework that allows the game's atmosphere to breathe, and absolutely no ludicrous shrieking. At times, it's tricky to remember he's an LP'er, rather than part of the game. It's great viewing.

EDIT: "so" is not "no".

Just finished watching CannibalK9's incredible LP of The Void (or Tension, as it was known in Russia). Wow. Truly amazing experience.

The game is beautiful, strange, eerie, and wildly imaginative, and CK9 handles it all with the grace and love that it deserves. My only regret is that it had to end. I know it's one of the recommended LPs at the start of this thread, but honestly, the write-up there doesn't do it justice.

I still hope that he'll do an LP of Cargo or Knock Knock some day.

Not exactly the freshest tip, but if anyone's looking for a low-key, engaging (and completed) LP of Dark Souls 2, I recommend GulBanana's series, here:

Fun stuff.

Well, there's the ones on the LP Archive that are basically hybrid LPs ... There's Persona 3 Portable (female route) and 4 by Feinne.

These were excellent. Feinne did a great job.

One of my favorites lately in the weird category is Supergreatfriend´s LP of MODE. The game never even got a wide release, it was an FMV game with a confusing interface and game crashing bugs, but still SGF managed to showcase every possible option and every branch in the story and make the viewer see the brilliance and originality. Also, the game´s director showed up in the thread to give his insights (and some tinfoilhat rambling).

This was glorious, and surprised me a lot with how compelling and interesting MODE turned out to be, at least in SGF's hands. I highly second this recommendation!

I think the first horror VLP I ever watched was Penumbra a couple years ago and now I've been hooked since. I've run through Kamoc's streams and Voidburger's Silent Hill LPs and I'm hungry for more. I don't care if it's creeping-suspense horror or high-tension jumpy scares, subtitled or voice commentary, I love it all. Point me to your fave horror game LPs.

DumbRodent's LP of Outlast was extremely awesome. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3638962

Does anyone know of a Darkest Dungeon LP where the player is good at the game?

The BaerTaffy LP is pretty good, actually. He's comparatively relaxed, has a good voice, and isn't totally incompetent.

Supergreatfriend, Geop, and CannibalK9 all leapt immediately to mind but, uh, most SA LPers are pretty good.

Quite possibly the silliest question I've asked on SA, but does anyone know of a Pokemon X/Y LP that's less PewDiePie and more SuperGreatFriend/CannibalK9?

CannibalK9 did a LP of the Void a while back that is very chill. If that hasn't already been mentioned.

I'll second this. It was a truly fantastic LP. He also recently finished a playthrough of The Talos Principle, which is also chilled out and extremely interesting, as well as quite beautiful.

I started watching DeadRodent's LP of Outlast and enjoying it quite a bit (http://lparchive.org/Outlast/).
I love survival/horror stuff, are there other LPs like this?

Scruffy just finished his blind LP of The Evil Within. That was rather awesome.
