Oh well. Sans the "Dungeon" in the world, the floating islands and the Underground Jungle, I think we've seen most of the game's environments through Pbat's LP. Wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more though.

If you follow Blue on twitter he keeps on talking about the absurd amount of stuff Red is adding, so we haven't seen all of it. Not even close.

I think you're forgetting the dev videos where using a grappling hook directly beneath you will save you from fall damage.

I'm not forgetting shit, that's all on Pbat

Woo!

After watching that Eye of Cthulhu fight, and other hairy situations like the Blood Moon, Blue seems pretty incompetent compared to Red at actually playing the game, which seems weird to me.

PBat even says what its pattern is and still somehow gets hit with it, so I'm guessing that doing it for a video just makes you more incompetent. Not a problem with the players themselves, it's just the fact that they are recorded.

With a game like this, I'd put my money on the guy that codes it, not the guy that bills himself as the PR man, too.

Plus, Red gets most of the good gear so he can show it to the audience. The "on video" thing has a lot to do with it too, I'm guessing. Hawthorne effect!

I've been stuck at home sick all weekend with no reading material. These LPs are a godsend.

[Frumple]

There's another couple gameplay things and th'first ep of an LP over on DIYgames, or something like that. Lemme see if th'link's still in my history... nah, but found the links anyway. First ep and a gameplay trailer. Fellow seems a bit more competent about mining and construction, at least. It's something. It's a shame the dev lps are all out now, though.

I'd really, really, really, like to see an LPer come along that's actually, I'unno, empirical about this craft crap. Pbat's all, "Oh, I must have enough demonite for a pick, so it can't be made," and buggers off, instead of going and, yanno', getting more demonite to check. Makes a lot of other assumptions going along and doesn't bother to actually investigate, same for th'Yogcast folks. The devs didn't have th'same problem, what wit' all that inside knowledge, but they were running an older version, hum. I'd love to see an LP going that actually goes about systematically wrecking the joint instead of this haphazard meandering around. Testing not assumptions, damnit! And then check again later to make sure you didn't miss anything! At the very least someone that'd bloody organize their chests, argh

EDIT: Oh, right, the reason I originally wanted to send a reply...

Anyone else kinda' want to get ahold of the soundtrack? I'm digging the kinda' nouveau chiptune thing going on.

[nenjin]

I could take or leave the ST. Occasionally it's doing something for me, and it's game appropriate. But I'm hoping we can easily rename .mp3s or .oggs or something and substitute our own music. I'd load the game up with Castlevania and other snes music, and it would be awesome.

It seems like embedded comments are the way to go when doing LPs, if you're not trying to be a "celebrity." Can actually play and concentrate instead of trying to be liked.

 We don't have the game ourself, and are antsy to play ourselves, which is why we are ticked off about those attributes. We want to play ourselves and want to see more more MORE. If we had the game we would prefer these videos over one more industrial with the mechanics and had only comment text. More fun and stuff.

 I would like somebody more sensible with stuff, but I know it's only because we don't have the game.

[Neonivek]

The more I see of Terraria the more it is starting to seem... well... Blah

I am sure I just havn't seen the meat yet.

[Tilla]

PBat is just annoying, if he's supposed to be entertaining I don't get it. He's certainly not a good gamer as he fails at the simplest gaming tasks like jumping to avoid things. Simon and Lewis are goons and well known trolls,  and I kinda get their schtick and like it.

Being bad at a game doesn't mean his LPs are bad.

His LPs are bad because he is rather mediocre at LPs and thought doing a BLIND RUN was a good idea.

There are some games where blind runs work... not Terraria.

[Duke 2.0]

 Nah, you stuffs just don't like it 'cuz yer boring and can't take what a bro dishes out.

 And again, only because we can't play it ourselves.

[nenjin]

He's too champion for you bro, you just need to chill up off that ballah.

I've put up with, what? 6 hours+ of him by now? I can't really complain anymore. He does alright when he's found a groove and isn't being a scatterbrained poser. Every white guy is allowed a little gangster now and then. He just doesn't know when to stop.

Although I could really do without all the nerd squee. Seriously, brah. 

And let's give a little respect. If all we had to go on was just the dev LPs, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and this most recent LP, we wouldn't have half as good a sense of the game as we do now. His failures have been educational for us. Multiple times. Ad Nauseam.

[Dakk]

Its not Pbat being bad at the game that makes the LPs sorta meh, its that he's just... Not a very fun LPer. Lets Plays take more then just recording yourself playing a game to be decent, you need to be sorta enjoyable aswell, and Pbat is just annoying most of the time.
Like, DeceasedCrab plays lots of grindy plataformers and stuff which are not that fun to watch, but his antics make it enjoyable. Pbat just makes obvious remarks and mistakes and etc.
