Well, looks like I'm on the fresh game side of the argument.Kshaard wrote: ↑5 years agoA2MT is very much playable and "done", if you will, but there are still so many random niggling flaws with lots of the levels that I don't think the subsequent LP experience would be all that much better than the zombie version had been. I still think there is a genuinely decent game in A2MT, just with a few minor level design tweaks that haven't been implemented.
Oui oui. Je suis très jambon.
Re: request grab-bag
I'm also on the side of 'new stuff' (*cough* even though I dream of an Ava playthrough of Soldexus).
And while this should really go in the other topic, I think the Top 10 in Patreon polls should be cut down to Top 5, since 10 surprisingly take a very long time to go through (and kill hype for a game by the end). Especially with raocow inserting whatever he feels like in between.

Re: request grab-bag
i don't know how rabi-ribi is a monolith when distorted travesty 3 exists
what i'm -really- concerned about is that la-mulana playthrough on the horizon though the next three games after hollow knight are all not especially big (necrosphere will be like, 10 episodes or so max imo) but la-mulana done raocow-style is either gonna be a half-year endeavor or get canned partway through

i've honestly never played a video game in my life
Re: request grab-bag
To be fair, that's a new character (even with old levels) rather than being a replay of the same game with the same mode.
If it's any consolation, there's someone that did a playthrough the full game which includes Ava mode.
And I'm personally skeptical about an ASMT playthrough. At least with A2MT, raocow has expressed some interest in revisiting it as a packaged hack with some closure to loose ends (to clarify things for Petzi, it's "wrapped up" to make it look not incomplete, but I think it's still not finished relative to its original objectives before the project was cancelled). But I don't see much value in replaying ASMT when people that want to see it or forgot its contents can just go see the old let's play. Many people that contributed to it aren't around in talkhaus anymore, so there's also diminished value of connect with the present community. Don't forget that it's a very much aged hack

Re: request grab-bag
Every time you guys suggest a Huge Big Deal Trending Indie Game instead of something like jiggly zone, you're already kinda missing the point
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

Re: request grab-bag
Hollow Knight is incredibly good and as someone who has been watching raocow for like, almost a decade, I don't think I'm missing the point to like watching him play it

Re: request grab-bag
I mean, the rules of the system are that people that pay get to vote for whatever they want (presumably within reason), and whatever happens happens. There's not much point in getting upset about it.
EDIT: I mean that in the sense of getting upset by the game lineup. The system itself may be worth discussion.

Re: request grab-bag
No, but I do think you missed the point of my post.
I'd explain better but it was just supposed to be an idle comment and now everybody wants to hot take me about how upset I am so whatever... I didn't mean to bother anyone

Re: request grab-bag
@Leet: I get that you want to see more niche fanwork games and lesser known projects, but... there are factors that put a limit to that. raocow made this his job now, so it may not be sustainable without enough mix of games and playthroughs that attract more attention and more liking by viewers. And deliberately looking for games that are more obscure (that would make good let's plays) isn't always easy, and the results don't always work out very well. Games that have a wider recognition/good reception are more reliable beforehand.
There are still upcoming LPs of fangames and whatnot (mainly from A-side). And there are indie and small-team projects that just happened to become better known, like Rosenkreuzstilette. Nothing wrong with that.

i have watched enough raocow to know this is a particular weak point for him
i've honestly never played a video game in my life
Re: request grab-bag
Thanks. Yeah, it's definitely not something I'd super excited about, since the LP would be mostly the same.ano0maly wrote: ↑5 years agoAt least with A2MT, raocow has expressed some interest in revisiting it as a packaged hack with some closure to loose ends (to clarify things for Petzi, it's "wrapped up" to make it look not incomplete, but I think it's still not finished relative to its original objectives before the project was cancelled).
I definitely agree, it would be cool to see raocow play more mainstream games once in a while, and it would attract more viewers. I'd even like to watch him streaming, as long as it wasn't a game where he has to replay the same part over and over (again, it could be profitable). But being true to himself is more important, of course.
Oui oui. Je suis très jambon.
Re: request grab-bag
I don't agree at all. The point of the thread is to suggest games he may not otherwise consider. Popularity of said game is completely irrelevant to that.Leet wrote:Every time you guys suggest a Huge Big Deal Trending Indie Game instead of something like jiggly zone, you're already kinda missing the point
Though this is also raocow so things most people consider difficult, like the mantras puzzle, he may just blunder his way through without ever even realizing what he's doing. I can see him getting stuck on some of the less obscure puzzles though, lol.
Re: request grab-bag
Hey, how come raocow never plays fighting games? Does he think they don't do for a good LP?
Oui oui. Je suis très jambon.

Re: request grab-bag
I know Beat 'em Ups have been suggested, not just here but in Patapon Pools as well, and i don't think they've ever done well. Not sure about Fighting games, though I do know that raocow seems to enjoy them.
I'd be up to watch.

Re: request grab-bag
He played one Touhou based fighter, but that was an 'in-between projects' one-off, and he was discussing something else entirely, not even paying attention to the game.
I don't really have an opinion, but I personally don't really play any fighting games, that aren't Smash.

Re: request grab-bag
I think the main reason raocow doesn't LP fighting games is that there's a bit of a disconnect with the LP audience that he's cultivated. People watch raocow to see various flavors of 2D (and very rarely 3D I guess) platformers. Anything else is a little risky.
There was that time raocow tried to do a MUGEN thing on SA that I think would up being something of a flop (referenced and linked to here):

Re: request grab-bag
Personally I wouldn't be against watching him play a decent fighting game like Skullgirls or Tekken 7 but I'm not so sure it'd make for a decent lp.
