Lazyfire posted:In terms of two person commentary I suggest checking out Nine Gear Crow and Blind Sally playing Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. Really high effort, great commentator chemistry and the guys know what they are doing more than I did when the game came out. Plus we cover the entire Shadows of the Empire meta-franchise; everything from the comics, to the SotE novel, to that one mission in X-Wing Alliance that intersects with the SotE storyline. Thanks again for the shout out, by thr way.

I dunno. I stand by my OP recommendation of Dirge of Cerberus as TheDarkId at his best. It's a hauntingly beautiful slow descent into madness as he becomes ever-more frustrated and furious with the game as the LP drags on, culminating in a post-script so luscious it rivals Keats, Coleridge, and Wordsworth:TheDarkId posted:gently caress this game. gently caress everyone behind the making of this game. gently caress Tetsuya Nomura. gently caress Square-Enix. gently caress Vincent Valentine. gently caress Final Fantasy VII. gently caress J-RPGs. gently caress Japan. gently caress you for enjoying my suffering. And gently caress me for going 'hey, Dirge of Cerberus...there's a good game to LP' nearly 11 months ago. Basically,

Lazyfire posted:ScurvyKip's Xenosaga LP is some 39 videos of a long, sprawling JRPG that would be incredibly boring if he and his guests weren't there to point out stupid lines and bad plot points. Xenosaga Episode I is pretty much two hours of good SciFi diffused across 40 hours of boring. But I'll second the recommendation of the LP though.

The Freelance Astronauts one is all kinds of great. If for no other reason than to see how hard Maxwell Adams breaks the game over his knee with console commands for the amusement of everyone else. It gave us the phrase "Quick, spawn another tank!", for what it's worth.

This is an outside SA thing and can only be tangentially called a Let's Play, but I don't give a poo poo because it's amazing on every level: Breaking Madden, by Jon Bois has started up again. So if you want to see a guy absolutely destroy Madden NFL 16 and make a mockery of the National Football League in the process to the tune of some really great music cuts, then Breaking Madden is for Edit: Here's the SB Nation Breaking Madden site itself where Bois also writes analysis of each BM episode. It's also incredibly hilarious. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 5, 2015 |

Kaboom Dragoon posted:Are there any decent completionist VLPs of FFIX or Lightning Returns out there? I've been looking around and either the player reads all the dialogue in a funny voice (in the case of the former) or says nothing (in the case of the latter). Kung-Fu Jesus started one for LR, but quickly abandoned it. Your best bet for a good Lightning Returns VLP would be to wait a month or so until Artix and Fedule start up theirs. They've already been through XIII and XIII-2, and it's just a matter of time before they get to LR. And are you sure you mean Final Fantasy 9? Because that's not really a game that lends itself to a VLP very well, but that being said FrancisFarterburgr and fieldmouse are doing every Final Fantasy game as a series of VLPs, so they'll probably get to IX... I dunno, eventually. They've been at it since late February and are up to IV now with regular updates.

Tiggum posted:I assumed that just got merged into YouTube. Did they just abandon it then? Nope. Everything on Google Video got summarily dumped, if a lot of the older stuff on the LP Archive is anything to go on. If you didn't reupload the video to YouTube yourself, it was purged when Google pulled the plug on it. A lot of older LPs did have their video content archived through the Internet Archive as well however. A lot of the stuff that used to be hosted on Google Video, Vimeo, and Viddler before they kicked LPers off the site or folded up shop was saved. Stuff that was on Blip is touch and go, though because Blip was just a rolling disaster in terms of content purges and general shady shenanigans.

More people should be watching the Devil's Third LP by ChaosArgate, Artix, and Jobbo_Fett. The game is a solid rocket booster of crazy that kicks in hard right from the opening seconds and never lets up. It's a big budget B-movie that knows exactly what it is and has a ton of fun with your expectations of it.

SWMadness posted:So I just binged through Dr. Kill's "Let's play Majora's Mask/OOT Super Wrong" videos as well as the Zelda OOT Chaos Mode videos that were attached to FaerieFortune's Blind OOT LP, and was wondering if there are any other good glitch showcase, speed-run based, or "Let's Break" style LPs I should check out? How much of OOT Chaos Mode did you see? because Artix, Argate, and Fae did a full LP of it. They also tackled Wind Waker Chaos Mode, which isn't as mechanically random as Ocarina's was, but still managed to get even more hosed up in awesome ways, to the point where it had its own Bingo card of potential glitches.

ultrafilter posted:nine-gear crow's White Knight Chronicles was a really great analysis of a game that could've been really cool if the production team had been competent. We spent a lot of time in the thread discussing how it could be better, but I don't know how much of that is visible in the Archive. The thread itself hasn't fallen into the archives yet, so that's probably the best way to view it if you want to see the full debate and communal deconstruction of the games. The LP Archive version is just a more streamlined and polished version of the thread updates. So take your pick, really.

Lord Malfegor posted:Ivantod's Wing commander LP is only partially archived (images are present, videos lost). Is there a good LP of wing commander anywhere on the web? And if one were to follow the Ivantod LP along side a longplay, would one miss anything? MaNiAk and co. are in the midst of stumbling their way through Sven Co-op, the multiplayer mod for the original Half-Life. It's fun if you want to watch a bunch of guys break the game over their knee in funny ways, but honestly I'd more put this one in the "background noise for when you're working on other stuff" category. That's not a dig or a slight at MaNiAk, it's just a thing that tends to be inherent to these types of lengthy, group-based safari type exploration LPs is all.

Yeah it's a slasher flick game but it's like the first Scream movie where it has fun with itself. Plus it has some rather endearing characters for a 20-something slasher flick game. Especially Brett Dalton's character, who basically becomes Ash Williams in the back third of the game

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. There's two Doom 2016 LPs on the forums right now: FlamingVoid's, which just wrapped up but was a more casual affair than what you're looking for, and Alexeythegreat's, which is going the hybrid route and putting the bulk of the lore details in separate posts from the videos.

Blind Sally posted:I should mention that the LP Master List is entirely goon run. It's extremely possible for LPs to be missed, there are definitely holes, and if someone sees an LP that isn't on the list that they think should be on the list, then they should just go ahead and add it. Indeed. I've been trying to keep the Master List curated as a personal side project to sate my OCD, but because it is largely self-reporting, it's not an entirely accurate representation. Still a drat good tool though for finding LPs or seeing what has/hasn't been done though. Because generally if it's not on there anywhere then its lost to the forums. Also LPs that go up on the LP Archive are auto-added to the Master List by baldurk regardless of whether or not they were listed on the Master List prior to that.
