Can't Think of a Good Game to Play

Link to original post: [drupal=3746]Can't Think of a Good Game to Play[/drupal]



I'm doing this Let's Play series on YouTube. Yadda, yadda. It's really fun.

My dilemma is what game I'm going to play next. I'm normally a very decesive person but I guess since I've played such a massive amount of video games over my lifetime I'm at a total loss for what game I could choose.

What would you guys suggest? I've heard several ideas that I'm kinda' contemplating but I'm not sold on yet.

But basically they need to be like...
1.) A great game (obviously) and
2.) A fun game to watch

Like I considered RPG's to be great, but watching someone go through an RPG and going through random encounters, leveling up, etc. isn't that enjoyable. And I'm way too lazy to edit out those parts from my videos since it would mess up my audio sync too much.

So what are some great games that you guys would play yourselves AND watch? I know so many games that I wanna' play... but I have no clue if people would enjoy watching someone else play it... if that makes sense.

Legend of the Dragoon

What game system? I think going through platformers is really fun to watch. I liked your Yoshi's Island, maybe you can do Super Paper Mario or Croc?

 

[Omni]

Lol @ Melee.

I forgot to mention my strategy for the LP's.

Basically, I kinda' wanna have like one 'new gen' game and a 'old school, retro' game going at the same time. I know a lot of people love to watch old school platformers so I have Yoshi's Island for that. I also know some people dislike it so that's why I did Shadow of the Colossus.

Uh, the systems that can be chosen are:

NES
SNES
SEGA
PSX
PS2
Gamecube
360

 

[Fried Ice Cream]

I vote Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, if you have it . I really enjoyed playing the game and it's actually not that easy. I would love to see you struggle through it xD

 

[Pakman]

Dead Space.

 

[Reapereater]

You should do the castlevania games, fire emblem path of radiance, megaman 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, yakuza 1 and 2, devil may cry 3, god of war 1 and 2, prince of persia sands of time (which is really cool with parkour stunts and find this game really hard) and warrior within, etc. Basically just play whatever game I find in my library of over 300 games.

 

[Clownbot]

Super Mario Bros. 3

Kingdom Hearts

Resident Evil 4

any Legend of Zelda game.

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Silent Hill
Viewitful Joe

 

[Deleted member]

Devil May Cry 1 + 3
Megaman X1-6
Okami
Super Metroid
Viewtiful Joe
TMNT: Turtles in Time, Final Fight or any other good Beat Im Up.

And s'all I got.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Silent Hill 1-3 (chose any)
Super Metroid
Super Mario RPG

I'm sure these have been done many times, though.

 

[Seikend]

Secret of Mana and Starfox Adventures.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Secret of Mana and Starfox Adventures.

Oh **** I forgot about Secret of Mana. One of my favorite games ever.

Definitely recommend that one.

 

[Seikend]

Oh **** I forgot about Secret of Mana. One of my favorite games ever.

Definitely recommend that one.

I want to talk about Secret of Mana again >_>. It's a fun game, amazing soundtrack and looks good.

It's an action-y game, so you don't have the static screens that RPGs often have that make them dull to watch. Grinding is not necessary, you can get through the game without doing so. I know I've completed it a few times without having to spend any time grinding, although it might be tricky in a first run-through.

The only thing I'd be a little cautious about is the CPU allies. Their path finding capability is horrendous. It might ruin the game for you honestly, as you might find you need to go out of your way to make sure they don't get stuck a lot of the time. The game works better if you have 1 or 2 other friends to play with, but I would still definitely give the game a go playing it solo.

So, yeah.

Go play it.

Zombies ate my neighbors :D

I sill cAn't beat that game

 

[Omni]

These are extremely helpful and great picks. Keep 'em coming.

 

[Jim Morrison]

If you pick Starfox Adventures I will unsubscribe asap :|. That was a horrible game man.

It was a good solid game. It just wasn't a starfox game. The ending was rushed and the short flight sequences were terrible. But the actual adventuring aspect of the game was good, and it had a solid soundtrack.

It's terribly underrated because Starfox fans bawed because it wasn't a starfox game, and non starfox fans didn't try it because it looked like a starfox game.

 

[황미영]

-Resident Evil from 0 to Code Veronica. ('Cause I love pre-RE4)
-Clock Tower on the SNES. (It has multiple endings the game is not long either, just in case you want to do a quick one.
-Half-Life 1 on the PC, maybe...? >w> (Just PM me if you wanna play it.)
-Mischief Makers
-Secret of Evermore.
-Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. xDDD
-Any of the Power Rangers game on the SNES
-TMNT Turtles in Time
-Area 51 PSX. ;D

I'll add more when I remember. <w<

 

[Melomaniacal]

I had no idea other people played Area 51, haha. The light gun game, right? I played the **** out of that game when I was a kid.

 

[Palpi]

I second mishchief makers!

I used to play it in Discovery Zone when I was younger. Then finally beat it at my grandma's hosue. (She had Guilty Gear, RE1 Directors Cut, Namco Museum, and some other nice games. xD)

Haha, thanks. I could expand on it based on everything I played as a child. But I remember at random times. xD

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Omni, I made an untouched thread in the Light House for SWF Youtubers to showcase their stuff, if you wanted easy access to updating your LP's and etc. Just wanted to let you know.

 

[Lythium]

I second those who said Resident Evil, Dead Space, or Silent Hill.

I'd also recommend Persona 3 or 4. :3c

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Custom Robo for the Gamecube. Play it. Now.
Mass Effect 2 on Insanity, with DLC content included. I like watching commentators suffer...
Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran Same reason as above. Grenades everywhere...I will be able to hear you weeping constantly
Star Wars: KOTOR 1/2, they both work on the 360
Metroid Prime 1/2/3

 

[gcubedude]

I third Mischief Makers! That game is so awesome.

IF not that, maybe Bowser's Inside Story.

 

[clowsui]

Like I said...Secret of Mana ;P
other suggestions include Okami, Minish Cap, DKC/DKC 2, Tomb Raider series, Sly Cooper

 

[Landry]

Devil May Cry 1 + 3

That, but with more Super Mario World and Star Fox 64.

 

[Omni]

Thanks guys.

I'm holding on to all of your ideas. I think I've chosen the next one I want to feature on my Let's Play so I'll just let that be a surprise.

I'll post another blog in the future once I start the new LP to give you guys a heads up.

I'll probably post a blog once every week with updates to the LP, too. Should be fun.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Im gonna get a jump on your NEXT next LP and say Mystical Ninja Staring Goemon.
