What are some good, thorough metroidvania LPs? I've been bingeing the obvious ones (Metroids and Castlevanias) on the archives, and it seems it's one of those genres I just don't get tired of watching. Informative and skilled 100% runs are preferable; I just don't have the patience to watch someone go in blind, and flail about aimlessly.

Might I interest you in my LP of Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight?

I would like to formally request an LP of updated YIIK

Don't worry I got you. I've been suffering for the past month. More fun stuff to talk about including alpha/beta demos, my continued search for the third ending and what I think it really is, watching videos from YIIK's own "Lore master" in regards to the game's story and how everyone doesn't get it, and what the YIIK fanbase has been up to these past few years. (It's not good) It's a freaking YIIK buffet!

But I'm holding out for I.V. before beginning anything.

And this one if you feel you can stomach a second helping, because I feel Diacorn and Modewondershot's genuine attempt to understand YIIK is worth mentioning, because their observations are the only reason why I can't discredit the dumb lore videos I've been suffering through. And I could go into it, hell I want to, but I don't wanna derail the thread. (And I don't want the YIIK fans finding this post and emailing me about it again.)

Its creator(s) was a Dunning-Kreuger-powered ball of hubris that didn't take criticism well and they've spent the past two years basically rebuilding the game from scratch to try to patch in a proper story and an ending that makes sense time time which is coming... eventually.

To be fair to Ackk, they've been keeping their twitter active with updates, previews, and even live demos of the new update; so at the very least, poo poo is getting done. Also they're not really redoing the story, it's still gonna be more or less the same as before. Their aim with this overhaul is to make the story easier to understand, because as you could imagine, a number of players weren't really eager to do another playthrough after their first. Ackk wanted players to dig deeper after playing it a couple times and notice that the game had "Layers". (The lore master's words not mine.) Again, I don't wanna get into it until I go through with LPing YIIK.

Forget YIIKV2, just watch this dude's rewrite of the story about Alex's quest to save breakfast it's better for you.

Is it really ok to solicit self harm like this???

I mean, I'd bookmark the thread in heartbeat, of course, but I'd feel a little guilty.

It's just a demo to generate hype. The full release isn't till some nebulous timeframe of Spring.

I'll probably play it for the sake of the full LP I'm planning.
