Best raocow LP

Post by Gardenolva »

Which raocow Let's Play do you think is the best/funniest/[insert something positive] at the same time?

For me, it's La Mulana.

That one week when we got Jump 1/2, La Mulana, and Mega Man 11 all at once was pretty amazing; but I think I'll go La Mulana

This fulfils my one post per year quota.

Donkey Kong Country 2

The whole DKC series was the LP equivalent of chocolate for me. DKC1 I enjoyed mostly silently and it was unadulterated enjoyment, but I find DKC2 to be a superior game so I choose that. DKC3 was fun to watch too except that it got caught in the crossfire between "DKC3 is love, DKC3 is life" and "DKC3 has committed tax fraud".

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Equal parts fascinating and frustrating. There's something about seeing raocow's ability to do well in puzzle games increase in real time like that, and seeing him do well in the later stages after floundering early on is incredibly cathartic.

SMB3Mix

I know a lot of people didn't like it as much as I did, but I think it eventually finds a great sweet spot between fancy tech and interesting level designs

Donkey Kong Country 2

It's Dankey Kang, y'all!

I don't watch as much raocow as I used to, but all three DKC LPs were super fun.

Mega Man 11

There were plenty of "Wow, this is so good." moments from raocow while watching it. I also enjoyed all of the DKC trilogy games for different reasons.

La-Mulana

Ah! It was a really hard pick between that, and Donkey Kong 2.
La-Mulana was awesome to see explored blind and conquered, while trivialising things as he was learning his way through and overcoming difficult challenges. Full of uneasy and hilarious moments. Long, grand and great LP!
Both the charm of a blind LP and a skillful LP of that game without the compromises of either.

Donkey Kong 2 was amazing to see raocow play through, consistently enjoy and share his thoughts on an official Nintendo chocolate Mario hack. Game is always creative and incrimental in how it designs and shows things.
raocow forgetting most of DKC2 also made it fun to watch how raocow explored the secrets 'semi-blind'. The game doesn't play it safe with extras, but has many hints for them. Same with difficulty and it felt very much like a raocow kind of game. The game pulls no punches. Also I grew up with that game.

I feel like this should qualify for 2019 because almost all the episodes were in 2019 and it started too late for 2018 mosts. Not that it changes my nomination, but.

Oh, dang, seriously? Makes me wonder if raocow should take a small hiatus since dang that was a good game.

he shouldn't and probably wouldn't anyway because raocow's called out sick less than I ever have



I still prefer Iconoclasts, but dang it I love that game and that LP

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga - I'd never played it, and I clearly missed out. That game was rad to watch and I now need to find a copy. I'm also pretty heckin excited to see any other M&L games if they're coming in the LPs up at any point.

Gonna be honest, it was a close one between this, La Mulana and Iconoclasts, but I gotta be fair, I was a smidge more interested in M&L due to having never played it.
