Let's Play (With Draygone)

After explaining some of RPGM2's inner mechanics, we go after Dante so we can kill him. Also, this game has so many swears, it makes me want to swear.

Fayorei · **Posted:** July 10th, 2012, 10:32 pm

Great stuff. Yeah, the swearing is downright comedic now. I'm laughing at some of the dialogue from the results of it.

I gotta say, Tsunami does know how to tell an interesting story.

This game is kicking my butt.

Too bad Youtube doesn't let you create your own thumbnails, or I'd be using that. =P

And here's the final three episodes. After taking care of Vega once and for all, Lantis joined me for the completion of Challenge Mode.

I'll have the review up later this week.

At last, here's the review.

One thing I forgot to mention was how you don't get your MP restored when you die. And that's not a consistant thing. Earlier in the game, when I died, I'm very certain that the game DID give me my MP back. I'm not just remembering wrong, am I?

Heads up!

Starting in one week, I am going to go ahead and start including other people in my RPG Maker let's play commentaries. If you've ever seen my "Super Mario RPG Revolution" let's play, it'll be similar to that. Except it'll be shorter sessions and we'll be recording weekly. Any of our regulars (key word: "regulars") who are interested are free to join, and you are not required to join all sessions; you can join just one time if you so felt like it. Whether I'll do this for all my RPGM let's plays from now on will pretty much depend on how well this goes.

We'll be starting off with "Simple Man's Quest for the Playground" for RPG Maker VX, a game designed by Ryner from the RPG Maker Pavilion. The times and dates are as follows:

*Every Wednesday Afternoon and Evening, Two 1-Hour Long Sessions
Session 1: 7:00 pm US Eastern Time
Session 2: 10:05 pm US Eastern Time
(note: US Eastern Time is like Virginia, New York, etc.)

I will be sitting in the Mag's chatroom waiting for arrivals. We'll either be using Skype & Mikogo or Google Hangouts, depending on whether I'm recording for a PC RPGM (Skype & Mikogo) or a console RPGM (Hangouts).

Yes, this is good.

Lantis · **Posted:** August 15th, 2012, 6:45 pm

You still doing this tonight? You aren't in the chat.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** August 15th, 2012, 6:52 pm

I had to edit a rant video about Youtube's latest homepage design, and then reboot my computer. It's still on.

All I'm sayin' is that 6 people racing at one time never made anyone complain, I don't see why 6 people LPing would be any different.

I'll just let these comments speak for themselves.

Ryner wrote:

Maybe I'm biased, but I feel like there was way too much going on in these episodes commentary-wise. Episodes 1 and 2 just had two people each, and they kept the conversations relevant, but this time around you have four people with you and the conversations were all over the place.

Big Rick Cook wrote:

You should have at most two additional people, but really two total is the sweet spot. You get second thoughts and opinions without having too many people vying for mic time, and you don't distract from the point of an LP, which is of course to showcase the game.

Obright wrote:

Yeah...I have to agree. 5-6 people commenting on a game is way too many. The game totally got lost underneath all the banter, in my opinion. It was about the conversation, not the game. The game just happened to be going on in the background at a party or something.

Well? I mean I DO like to hear the banter, and sometimes it IS amusing, but to me, in a let's play...EVERYTHING happening onscreen is important. I'm not saying that you can't ever go off topic, but when Dray does LP's by himself, he just kinda runs around for a while until he's finished with his thought, which I think works out pretty great. That doesn't happen so much when there are lots of commenters.

Simple Man wrote:

BUT i do have to agree, the third and forth episodes are kind of hard to concentrate on game-wise. Id be happy to do commentary video if you want but i don't want the audience to lose focus like i felt in those.

Those were the comments against having so many people. But there was one that was okay with it:

Wavelength wrote:

I didn't think the multi-person format was as annoying as everyone else here did, maybe because I've played the game before. The girl, I didn't catch her name, had some particularly funny and insightful comments.

I'd recommend having people read out the lines like you used to do, in order to keep both your team's focus, and the audience's focus, primarily on the game.

What would you do if you were given a device that would let you transport yourself into someone's mind? Or if you had a magic pencil that caused your drawings to come to life? I'll tell you this: one of these items isn't as cool as it sounds.

Also, Navane is banned from my let's plays until he can get a mic that doesn't sound like he's speaking through a toilet paper tube. =P

Members seen in Ep5:
Simple Man, Vonwert, Hito (as Old Chap)

Members seen in Ep6:
Simple Man, Dreamknight, Fushigi, Gloomy

We've finally reached the point in the game where I make an appearance! But how do I appear? Am I furry, or human? For that matter, what exactly do I do?

Members seen in these episodes:
Simple Man, Misty (sorta), Magus (sorta), Kefka (sorta), Chuck, Draygone, Gray, Kire (sorta), BZ, and Smurvis

You'll notice that there is a very lack of opening, credits, or any sort of special editing in the third episode. I'll go into a full explanation with a channel update later on, but the short explanation is that I'm drained, and it just isn't worth the extra effort when only about 20 of my subscribers actually watch my videos.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** October 24th, 2012, 12:58 am

Wow, has it really been over a month? Sorry about that. Several things were kinda making me not want to record another LP. One of those things being the deal with bringing in random people. The other being video length. Both are dealt with here, as I fight the hardest boss in the game so far.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** October 31st, 2012, 12:41 pm

This set of episodes gives credence to the theory that people from the Pavilion tend to be a bit evil. Also, glitch!

Members seen in these episodes:
Simple Man, RPGD, Perversion (as equipment), Crunk
