Hey, all!

So I have a handful of games that I've bought and either never played, haven't played in a very, very long time, or started and never finished. And I've been thinking of doing/streaming a Let's Play for a while, so I figure... why not combine these concepts and have some fun?

I want to start streaming more (especially once I get ~new computer parts~), so I'd like to see what y'all would be interested in seeing! You can vote in up to three of the poll options. I'd be happy to discuss what level of experience/exposure I have to any of these games.

I'm also open to other suggestions, but I'd prefer the games to be available on Steam, and it might depend on price/system requirements (again, pending ~new hardware~). Finally, the game(s) will be streamed on twitch.tv/glorktheinvader with days/times to be determined.

I submitted my own personal top 3 (FF7, Tomb Raider, SW:KOTOR).

Much to my own personal embarrassment, I've never actually played FF7. I've watched a couple of friends play through portions of it, but have never played it myself. I feel like I should correct this.
Tomb Raider is a game I picked up during the Steam Summer Sale, and I started it but only got a couple of hours into it. It's fun, but it kinda dropped off my radar. I'd love to restart it and stream/commentate as I go through it.
Finally, SW:KOTOR -- I started playing through the original last year, but had to stop when my hard drive went wonky. Haven't had much of an opportunity to restart it, but I've been told repeatedly that I

must

play it and its sequel because of how good they are.

RPGs are pretty tricky to make entertaining to watch on a stream. I'd probably shy away from those to start with.

I disagree Ankamius, if the RPG is story based you can riff on that. KOTOR has some promise for that reason, FF7 probably is a little too stale and slow for an early LP, Torchlight is a little too grindy (that is, the gameplay isn't interesting to watch for me). I'd tune in for DA:O, Tomb Raider, or King's Bountry.

Duke Nukem Forever is the obvious choice

serious question, why isn't Superman 64 an option?

Glork · Post Post #6 (ISO) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:17 am

Because I don't have/can't stream it.

I'd definitely consider it down the line. Never played Superman 64, it could be entertaining to watch me suffer.

Emulator?

Glork · Post Post #8 (ISO) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 11:30 am

Well like I said, I'd like to play something that I own but haven't gotten around to starting/playing/finishing yet.

If you haven't already played it Braid is a great thing to stream as long as the chats not spoiling it all.

Don't play Superman 64; it's not fun to play, and it's not fun to watch. It's like the Star Wars Holiday Special; it sounds like it should be So Bad, It's Good for everybody, but it's actually just an unrelenting pit of awfulness.

I really don't even think its entertaining in a bad way, or the user suffering way. It's just too terrible. Like sonic 2006. It doesn't even function as a game really.

Okay but watching Game Grumps play Sonic 06 was magical.

Funny people can make boring shit funny. I wont deny that. I assume it's way more work though.

The GameGrumps playthrough has nothing on the original pokecapn blind playthrough, which is possibly the best 'bad game' let's play anyone's ever done.

Okay, so it looks like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic wins. Just need to figure out a day/time to do it. I'm thinking once or twice a week, for 1-2 hours per session.

Darn it, King's Bounty is so good.

Oh well, this should be funny anyway.

KB's gameplay is fairly repetitive though, unless I start doing crazy things with my troops.

EBWOP: OH MAN I SHOULD LET YOU GUYS BUILD MY CHARACTER AS I LEVEL IN KOTOR.

True, it's an attrition game at heart.
