Do you watch Let's Plays /v/?
What are your favorite Let's players?
Picture not related
I don't watch NL's LP's, but I do occasionally watch his live shows when he's playing some good shit like Family Feud.
He has such a fucking ugly wife. I can't get over how ugly his wife is. He's in his mid 20's, too, why tie himself down to a ugly wife so soon in his life?
>>320906163
He's 27. And yeah Kate's pretty ugly, cute voice though.
>>320906163
He married her for that Korean citizenship so he could work as an English teacher over there.
>>320906163
I used to watch NL before he started doing those circlejerky live shows. Kate is fucking horrible.
Besides NL I don't watch much other let's players aside from super best friends but they've been kinda shit lately.
I guess excellent adventures counts too but they have a much higher production value.
>>320905590
I never really watched that many to begin with
I watch Clementj642, that's it.
>>320906591
But NL married her after he came back from Korea. He doesn't do teaching anymore IIRC, it's all Isaac.

Chuggaaconroy
ProtonJon (STILL WAITING ON SUPERMAN 64)
DashieXP
NLSS is pretty great
I haven't actually watched his videos in months though.
>>320906591
They got married last year, years after he had come back from Korea.
>>320907119
>ProtonJon (STILL WAITING ON SUPERMAN 64)
After Yoshi's Island
And also after he stops traveling the world
>>320905590
>Do you watch Let's Plays /v/?
No, and I hate the people that do. About the only time you should, is if you're on the fence if you want a game or not and can't trust reviewers.
>What are your favorite Let's players?
None, they should really stop and get real jobs. The best let's players are the silent ones who's face you don't even see.
>>320907245
>get real jobs
Many of them don't do it for a living.
And those that do work just as many hours, if not more than a regular job.
Hell, I have a "real job" and Let's Players do a lot more work than I do.
I'm subscribed to a couple. Listening to TBFP as background noise, and a couple of lesser LPers for their voicework
I enjoy HarshlyCritical even though he can be a bit tumblr at times. he mostly does shitty horror games but doesnt overact
>>320906591
>>320906339
>>320906709
Shes not THAT bad.
I used to watch a lot of Let's Plays, mostly during my teenage years.
As I grow older, I'm starting to find them less and less entertaining. Not even trying to have a go at people who like them, it's just how they are for me.
The only thing I watch nowadays that can be loosely called a let's play is Ross's Game Dungeon, which is really entertaining.
>>320907678
Bruh she looks like she has full blown downs. And that's saying a lot, considering most asians kind of already look autistic
>>320906715
>Tfw on a recent run NL had a 1% greed donation machine breakage chance with ~70 cents and a two of diamonds and it broke on the first penny
RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh away
>>320907759
dis nigga gets it. Ross is pretty coolthough his voice is starting to annoy me
I mostly use LPs to fall asleep to. Like if I want to take a nap I'll just put on a few hour's worth of LPs. A lot of the players I watch have pretty monotone voices anyway
>>320906883
Cry is the best.
>>320906163
>>320906339
>>320906709
>2/10 would not bang
Ya'll are fucking faggots, she isn't the most beautiful, but she's definitely not ugly. No wonder none of you have had girlfriends yet.
>>320907678
Eyes are too far apart.
Looks like she could phone home from her glowing finger.
>>320907884
His greed donation machine has fucked him on his last 5 greed runs, it's fucking hilarious.
If I ever get into an LP mood I just watch TippingForties.
They are sorely missed.
>>320908235
The group is still together, they just post under a different channel and don't drink.
They did Vesperia and are doing Shenmue 2 right now.
I watch some Vinesauce streams, Joel, Vinny, Rev Scarecrow, KY every so often
my fav streamer/lets player
Lets plays of people who already know about the game and beaten it?
No
Lets play reactions of their first time?
Absolutely
I personally do it to see their reactions to moments in games that i really liked and/or was surprised by and want to see their reactions to it
>>320907884
>use his shit as white noise
>hear him sperging out over something
>check it out
I legitimately laughed at his misfortune. The eggs luck had to run out some time.
her playthru of MGS5 was entertaning

There's no point then
>>320905590
The only ones I find enjoyable are when it's a group of people playing multiplayer games together.
>>320908685
The new channel is KuvoSA, if you're interested even in the slightest.
Vesperia was legitimately entertaining to watch, and they rage like mother fuckers at some parts.
>>320906163
I used to like him but I stopped watching as often when his content became 50% BoI, 40% live shows that are also usually the Binding of Isaac, some flavor of the week game and occasionally something funny like Family Feud, and 10% whatever other series he puts out like X-Com
Also fuck Kate, she isn't entertaining and her increased presence has deterred me from from watching anything with her in it
>>320908463
I bet you watch Jinx too
>>320908463
>the episode where they finally get to the huge plot twist
>>320908463
Same, although I can watch the former when the series is really informational
DasBoSchitt did a really nice playthrough of This War of Mine, but that seemed to only be a one-time thing
>>320909012
How do two girls play this game at the same time. Also, holy shit those giant fucking teeth.
Video game dunky
Best friends play
(Some) game grumps
That's about it
i like LPers that are calm and also good at the games they play
anybody have any ideas for people like that? i've got a couple like drassos, marcus aurelius, cosmic contrarian (though he's a fedora tipping bong more often than not), and a couple others
>>320910090
Super Beard Bros is 100% chillbois
And Jirard is pretty good at games
>>320910090
>i like LPers that are calm
There's this guy called Northernlion--
>and also good at the games they play
Oh. I got nothing.
Anyone have recommendations for LPers of jrpgs? Already know of hcbailly
Giant Bomb aren't really let's players, but they're the best e-celebs around and every cool person knows that. Even if they're not as good since Ryan's death.
>>320910568
Omegaevolution is pretty good, he slices out all the irrelevent grinding and travel. He plays both the english and japanese releases of games, and he's fucking incredible at monster hunter, like jesus shit the guy is good.
>>320905590
PewDiePie and Markiplier bro.
There totally awesome and so wacky I love it them!
BROFIST
I used to watch Dopefish every now and then, that long streak of Mario Party was pretty fun but I don't see much out of his channel these days.
Now I watch the odd Rockcock64 or TheBestGamers video/stream if they cover events.
>>320906163
Kate is the only girl I've think has improved with a short hair cut
>tfw watching XCOM
Bahroo is pretty cool.
I don't watch streams but his video content is entertaining.

>>320912697

>>320905590
I sometimes have a commentary for a game running in the background while doing other things but that's about it
KZX almost had to pass him up in subscribers again.I wish he made content againThe ancient aliens fuck.I was one of his first 50 subscribers. I was Agamo Monster from Last Sim Standing. I was also who he was referring to when he said he had people who had been watching his content since the beginning.
I miss SnBP. Shit, I miss when Barley played video games, period. At least Spike still uploads stuff.

That was years ago.
He fixed the issue and has since committed to it "after Yoshi's Island."I can't remember if that finished
>>320913205
the point is that its redundant as fuck, not that its hard to do.
>>320913324
oh my mistake then, I guess I missed that video
>>320913421
He said it on stream like 100 times and I believe there is an announcement video specifically for that.
Game Grumps
I came across A Bunch of Jerks when I was looking for blind Metal Gear let's plays to cringe at and was pleasantly surprised at how competent and decently humorous the guys were. Surprised they only have a few subs since the guy who edits the vids are pretty professionally edited.
>ctrl+f dumb damage
>permanent polaroid
>krampus tax

>>320908973
Blind let's plays are fun
[spoilers]except for a guy named basssinger555, avoid that channel at all costs, jesus christ i've never heard a voice that made me want kill myself as much as this guys coupled with DSP tier gameplay[/spoilers]
>>320910070
I used to watch everything they did but I couldn't take the outdated memes anymore. Johnny is still based as fuck though and I hope he keeps growing

what a whiny cunt
>>320905590
I like watching the old lets plays done by cringeworthy voiceovers. and Vinesauce.
the former has a home movies charm to them, and I find Vinny genuinely entertaining at times.
the kind of thing that would show before the advent of people like PewDiePie and Game Grumps, those are what I like. awfully made stuff that restupurae would have made fun of when they actually put out decent content.
I don't mean to be a sourpuss, I feel like Game Grumps and PewDiePie as a whole ruined those little solo projects. and to a lesser degree so did AVGN, now every upstart tries their hardest to be loud and obnoxious. cranking out flat jokes and swear when its not appropriate.
>>320912181
Here is your reply
Does UpUpDownDown count?
SSoHPKC;_;
I watch NL he's pretty funny when shit goes bad, but his content is and what he has to say is always interesting every video
Chuggaaconroy is pretty alright too
But my favorite is Hannah from the yogscast

Why the fuck is it always an animated face that looks vaguely like them or some wacky reaction face with bulging eyes that takes up the thumbnail each and every time?
Objectively speaking, Let's Players are a waste of time when you could play the fucking game yoursevles, and no amount of feels will change that
In you go
>>>/trash/
>>320917351
>Let's Players are a waste of time when you could play the fucking game yoursevles
But what if I want to watch THEM play the game?
Like a streamer I watch recently picked up Bloodborne without any prior Souls experience, and that's pretty fun to watch.
Or speedruns, those are good.
Maybe I want to watch other people experience a game that I enjoy
>>320910070
I only dabble with BSC sometimes. Johhny is great, but the others have their problems that just ruin it sometimes.
>>320915491
Heath Slater (whatever the fuck he calls himself in that) is the greatest
>>320905590
i'd want to do this shit as a job, but its impossible to get noticed at this point. like you would have to just get some miracle of something happening to have people notice you playing anything.
i like to play a lot of the old FPS on the hardest settings, but no one gonna care because it ain't dignbuild fest 2015

>>320918756
Apparently, although his last real published content was 6 months ago, and his last upload was 2 months ago. His stuff is still pretty consistent, some more machinima content, 2 KotH YTPs, and the aforementioned LP
He tried making youtube his full time job and started a patreon, then said fuck it after a couple of months, closed it, and went back to doing it as a hobby
>>320917607
Yeah, games are neat because two people can look at one problem and come up with totally different solutions. Even in most of the time that other solution is super retarded and takes way more time/resources than the developer intended.
>>320910294
They're usually pretty good at games, but man do they get stuck on the stupidest things.
Like when they tried Saw 2 after they finished Saw 1, and they got to the guy who's constantly trying to ram you, and they never hit on the idea of luring him towards the elevator shaft and killing him that way. They just ran around getting killed for like 20 minutes.Also they couldn't figure out how to save Toriel, but then again it is slightly obtuse if you're not paying attention.
>>320916805
NL is just fuckin hilarious overall, also for whatever reason his wide range of vocabulary keeps me interested, it never seems to run out.
Hannah is just damn great
I only watch Hellfirecomms, Brainscratchcomms, and Super Gaming Bros. I use to watch Vinny but I find him as boring as hell now.
>>320919717
Yeah, that part of Saw II was pretty bad.
Also Jirard is pretty bad when it's SGS, but I think that's 'cause he shit at taking instructions but only wants to play as a proxy for the group.
The finale of SOMA was pretty bad with that.

What is it with gaming youtubers and Asian wives?
I used to watch TBFP a bit. Dropped off when they really began to force jokes and do LPs of new games.
Thought that maybe the FFX playthrough will be a comfy time due to it a big childhood game of mine. I stopped because I couldn't handle how misinformed Matt is about the game while still sounding so sure of himself.
OnlyAchievement Hunterand Northernlion mostly.
Sometimes TBFP when they cover a game I give half a shit about which is rare these days.
I liked Northernlion before he got addicted to Binding of Isaac and started showing off new releases.
He never fucking finished his Gray's Anatomy let's play and I'm still mad.
>>320907678

The fact that The Best Friends didn't make a Rapehorse reference when they fought Ludwig deeply saddened me.
Fuck sjws.
>>320907678

The real problem is that anyone married Eggscum in the first place.
>>320907523
The one with jobs outside are the most interesting. I find the other to severely lack common sense.
Hearing nl talking about real life problem is like listening to your 15 year old cousin that thinks he understands life because he got his first philosophy class
>>320906715
DON'T REPLY THE INCORPORATED MESSAGE TO THIS IMAGE, THERE'S A CURSE THAT MAKES YOU SKIP ITEM ROOMS.
Not really a fan of let's plays, but watching gay Christ Pratt play TF2 is pretty great
>>320923750
But NL has had "real jobs" before, and is an adult who has to take care of shit like an adult.
The only difference is that his income is made in a way that people haven't been able to do before.
I don't know how sitting in his home office making videos somehow invalidates his experiences with the same things that someone at an office building filing reports would have.
Hell, my father has been an artist pretty much his whole life, and spends his entire workday at his computer making pictures, but that doesn't keep him from having to deal with real life like everyone else.
>Let's Plays
I gave those days up when Cloud8745 collapsed.
I can't fully commit to watching someone play an entire vidya, not without placing the video on a 1.5x speed or just skipping ahead to important/interesting parts.

I never said youtuber where the only one with a childish view of reality. Listening to artist /actor /sportsman/musician talk about politic has the same effect on me.
>>320924703
>these people can't have opinions on politics
I don't understand.
Sounds very arbitrary.
>>320905590
NL is a charming dude and has some mad skills to keep finding shit to talk about literally 1,800 episodes in the same game, like holy shit.
I wish I had Afterbirth so I could keep watching his shit but I don't wanna get spoiled.
>>320924323
>pioneer of LPs
Y'know, I can't really back that up but when I was watching him, LPs were a rare and uncommon thing, all I was looking for was MegaMan Legends walkthrough and then Cloud/Aaron showed up. I liked his personality at the time and he wasn't too shit at video games.
>Joined 2009
Nah, that's gotta be a load of shit I swear it must have been at least 2007-2008 when he first appeared because I was still a freshman at the time.
I like NL.
>>320906163
I remember the last time we had a thread about NL and his wife, we talked about the commentary he'd give as he was cucked. Funny shit.
I personally think his commentary is good, he has radio personality and voice, his gameplay is meh at best usually, but his reaction to his fuck ups make it worth while. Kate's alright, I don't watch her stuff but she's not grating, and I think she's ok looking, considering his stand in life.
>>320924903
>has some mad skills to keep finding shit to talk about literally 1,800 episodes in the same game
I know right? I'd say I'm impressed by how he managed to come up with interesting shit to talk about on the fly OTHER than the current gameplay, but I think that because he has a life/friends/wife/productive shit to do outside of his channel so it couldn't be that hard.
>>320905590
I don't get how all of his Isaac videos get 100,000+ views. I love him and have been subscribed for years but they're 20-40 minute videos, 1-2 times a day. I'll watch one occasionally when I'm on an Isaac grind but holy shit are there actually people who watch every single one?
>>320924926
2009 is right around when LPing started getting popular. I mean it really started blowing up right around then (Pewdiepie's join date of April 29, 2010 is a good landmark for this point)
The old guard of video LPs are people like ProtonJon, Chuggaa, NCS, and a lot of the people who to this day are still underground/obscure, like 666theheartless666, agentjr and Helloween4545
This is like '07/'08, though some of them were doing it earlier on Google Video (or in NCS's case, a video camera in the '90s) or other such sites.
And of course, slowbeef is the one who ACTUALLY pioneered video LPs, spinning off of text LPs from the SomethingAwful forums.
>>320925207
>we talked about the commentary he'd give as he was cucked. Funny shit.
>and Kate takes some dumb damage right off the bat
Why does NL always get shilled to fuck in these threads
>>320923698
She dyed her hair blonde according to people who watch the streams.
>>320925278
I've watched all his Rebirth vids up until Afterbirth came out and am currently in the 600s on his original Isaac videos.
They're my go to "bored on the Internet" videos or when I want something to watch while I'm eating food, and I watch them on 2x speed to save time and because I actually like NL's voice more at that speed, he sounds funny.
I usually knock out like 3 or 4 a day and those build up pretty quick over time.
>>320925443
It used to be pink, but yeah.
Neither of them look good, though personally I attribute it to the hair style.
It's never looked good on her.
>>320905590
I want to, but for every person that lps they have awful personalities, voices, commentary, or just scream and say shit jokes. I remember really enjoying Ssohpkc during his target days and pre creature days but I lost interest after that, have no idea what he's doing now.
I watch retsuprae sometimes but most of the stuff they've been playing haven't interest me.
The only time I'm actually forced to watch lets plays is when I hang with my cousins and all they watch is YouTube lps from Game Grumps, Markilplier, and other people that I don't have too much interest in. The only reason why I'd like to watch lps is because I think they're good background noise and waste time when there's nothing else to watch.
>>320925305
That fucking YouTuber wiki has it's shit all messed up, it SAYS that Cloud came in around late 2009, but also states the approximate amount of subscribers back in 2008.
I miss most of the pure, free spirited, and straight forward nature of LP's
I don't know if /v/ gives TheRadBrad a lot of shit but as bland as he might be, I like that he just plays the game and keeps his stupid shit at the minimum, he is literally just your average LPer - not great, but not godawful.
It's unfortunate that Fallout 4 is such shit. It doesn't let NL be an unhinged dick like New Vegas does. That and Afterbirth being underwhelming kind of killed my interest in his channel.
>>320925449
>>320925278
I use(d) NL as a sort of guinea pig who taught me the basic and important Isaac fundamentals like Boss Rush and Deals With Satan as well as items/trinket testing. However, after all this experience he has, I can't believe how often he fucks up on simple, easy-to-accomplish-run-of-the-mill tasks like item rooms/consumables.
I want Kate haters to fuck off
>>320906715
DRY BABY
>>320925641
You bring up a good point, but I'm still hyped for the hellhole of bad decisions and dumb damage that will be his XCOM 2 walkthrough.

To be fair, he makes the content himself when he fucks shit up or RNG goes bad. Stuff like that easily fills 3 or 4 episodes with the salt overload.

>>320926142
Is that her real voice?
It sounds like she puts an effect on it.
The only LPs I watch are of a cow that plays Mario games and weird obscure indie games.
I guess it's just a habit at this point
>>320925594
I usually use RadBrad as the laymen casual gamer. When I'm confused about how someone found a mechanic or game hard and confusing and he's played it, I watch up to that part to get the casual mentality to see why they thought it was hard and what went wrong. There's lots of channels good for that, but I just use him cause he's not an annoying screamer and his videos are constant.
