What Should I Play? (For an LP.)
« on: December 30, 2010, 12:21:48 pm »

So, yes, ladies and gents. I have, as I'm sure many of you have, massively over-indulged in Steam's sales. There are a bunch of games that I haven't played and I doubt that I'll "get 'round to playing" until the end of the world in 2012. :p

So, I've found all the games on my Steam list that I've heard are pretty LP-able and I want to allow everyone at B12G the chance to choose what game I should be playing. Any of them will work for me, although I'd prefer one that I've not really played.

List of Games
Alpha Protocol
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis 3
Hearts of Iron 3
Just Cause 2
King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame
Mass Effect 1&2
Mount & Blade : Warband
Patrician IV
Tropico 3
Victoria 2

So, choose now, ladies and gents, and let's see what I end up playing. :p

Don't step in.

I used to do Trop 1 now and then but enforce rules.

Like - No entertainment for poor people, shitloads of soldiers and oppression to the max.

So, essentially, crush the hearts and spirits of our people? :p

King Arthur. If you want an LP that will provide many "OH FUCK ME!" moments to describe, that's a good choice. ESPECIALLY playing it completely blind. If you do play, I'd strongly recommend Beginner or Easy, no joke. The AI doesn't play any better per se, but everything else stats and mechanics wise gets dialed up.

I'm trying to think how a Sims LP would work, but I can't really see it happening. Of course you could do anything with a big enough imagination I guess

I'll leave it overnight.

I think Tropico 3 is going to win, though. :p

Might run two. One Tropico 3, one runner up.

I voted EU:Rome. Paradox games make for great LPs.

Example: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?486346-Rebels-without-a-pause-a-Tribal-AAR/page2 reading this was a form of catharsis. I'm no recommending you to be as masochistic as this guy but a blind LP of anything that complex is bound to produce entertaining moments.

If you can get Crusader Kings and a) know how to mod and b) feel ambitious, play a country/dynasty from 1066 to 1965~!

(modding because there is not a very good continuous converter so you'd have to mod in the end-game CK to start game EU3, and etc.
