[quote name='The Crotch']Speaking of which. Blueshinra, since we're both LP fans, do you have any recommendations? I mean, "anything by The Dark Id" is pretty obvious, but beyond that? Can be screenshot or video, though I
usually prefer screenshot.[/QUOTE]
The Dark Id ones that I've read and enjoyed have been Dirge of Cerberus, Chrono Cross, Drakengard, and Xenogears. I couldn't get all the way through Clock Tower 3 or Limbo of the Lost, and thought Resident Evil was just okay, but I'm not much into survival horror or horrible adventure games (I do want to give the RE ones another shot, but I don't know what order to read them in, since the first game was LP'd last). Holding off on Nier and Drakengard 2 until after I play the former.
You've read all of those already, of course
Others I've enjoyed (all screenshot):
-
Animal Crossing: Wild World by Chewbot - my first LP! It is weird and amazing.
-
The Oregon Trail by Chewbot - another offbeat narrative LP. I don't know if these two LPs would be what you're looking for, though-- they take a
lot of liberties with the source material.
-
Blade Runner by Scorchy - loved how the screenshots were done. Excellent overall.
-
Tropico 3 by Bobbin Threadbare - really captures the feel of the game without being dry.
Wanted to include the Final Fantasy VIII LP on this list, but it looks like it's gone from the archive. Even though it didn't discuss game mechanics much at all, I kinda liked it
(
I also want to give
Jerusalem's take on GTA: San Andreas another try, but I just know it's going to be one of those massive time-sinks. What I've read so far is great, though; it's like, "
This is how you do a narrative LP."
