you got until august 7th to get your vote in!

depending on the outcome, there might be a second round of voting re: the top scorers, we'll see how it plays out.


This time we are doing things a bit differently!

Click on this PollJunkie link and sort out the full list of games in the order of 'heck yeah' to 'hell no' I know it's a lot of games to wade through, but this way we'll get result based on preference re: the entire librairy of choices - we'll see if this works out. If I see hints of cheating or bots or whatever, I'll cancel the vote and we'll do another one the classic way... it's just that using a website requires an awful less amount of work on my end, haha

welcome to trailer town

sorry about the low volume individual trailer links as well as the poll link are on patreon!

1 Hour. 47 minutes. Aaaaaah

Wymar Sane

Man so many games so few votes. AMaPaNi 5 Aquaria 3 Giana Sisters 2 E: Shiet I am bad at noticing stuff.

Xirix

What a weird little polling website, I kinda wish it had an indication the votes you made were saved, but I've done my dragging and dropping. ^_^

Wymar Sane

And now for my non-binding opinions on games. <b>Dust: AET</b>: Good game hampered by a mediocre ending. Kind of like DT3 now that I think about it, but on a smaller scale. <b>Escape Goat 2</b>: Should have been played right after the first game, really. This one should be a freebie! <b>Hero</b>: Metroidvania shmups, what's not to like. <b>Hyper Princes Pitch</b>: CATS! EXPLOSIONS! ROBOT SANTAS! YEEAAAHHHH!!! Definitively not filler material though, it has a life system. <b>Ori and The Blind Forest</b>: I watched a complete playthrough stream of this game and while the music and gameplay were very impressive, it also tried so hard to evoke emotions in me that my only reaction was "Fuck you I'm British"* <b>Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?</b>: That's a PSP game? Emulatable but not sure how well. Also it's an IWBTG style game with limited lives (although admittedly less dickishly hard, I've beaten it). Definitively recommend Asagi mode. Wouldn't recommend the sequel unless you <i>really</i> like women's underwear (or Asagi, which is a good enough reason to me) <b>Psychonauts</b>: Shhh. Don't let the milkman find out I'm talking about this. <b>Super Paper Mario</b>: I've actually played through this since the last A-side vote and man is it the emulation with joy2key or is it harder than I remember? <b>Undertale</b>: It's a great game but... not really something I think raocow should LP. Maybe play on his own time or watch a different LP. He'd have to play it blind yet also limit himself to either one playstyle (which I've seen too many blind players refuse to do) otherwise the experience is going to be woefully incomplete. <b>Ys The Oath in Felghana</b> (actual title, raocow's description is erronous): It was okay but then the game ended and I was like wait where's the rest of the game. It just felt like there should have been more to it or something. *Disclaimer: not actually British

Panape

Man, Hyper Light Drifter looks really good. I may grab it and play along if it gets elected. Same for Aquaria

Wymar Sane

htoL#NiQ reminds me of Nanashi no Game. I wonder why... E: I have now played through over half the game and watched the rest on YT (playing games at your workplace is hard enough even without crazy difficulty). That certainly was... something. It's like Nanashi no Game and Limbo had a kid who occasionally cosplays as Super Meat Boy and the Super Mario franchise and was in a relationship with Bravely Default (which then turned sour so it coped with the breakup by playing Plants vs Zombies). That analogy got kind of out of hand.

Willhart

I really like this voting style compared to the last one. Get to effect a lot more than with couple of points.

Bellmoore

At the end of the video I had a list of top 20 games (Axiom Verge!) based mostly on interest evidenced in the video, a list of dislikes I shoved to the bottom (AMaPaNi...) and a vague group of meh in the middle.

That Guy If

Just so peeps are aware: That video of Starbound announced a Single Player campaign with an actual goal and all that. So it's not as non-goal oriented as raocow implied. Just saying...

Willhart

I just hope too many people did not just press enter or something. List seems pretty alphabetical so far.

Josh

In both directions: I doubt Aero the Acrobat would be nearly as highly ranked if it didn't start with 'A'; I suspect it got several positive votes and then various people leaving it untouched.

Alex D.

Whew! Got my votes in. That took some effort. I do kinda wish I could weight my top 2 or 3 a little bit more heavily, but ranking everything at once is cool too.

Josh

A few opinions to go with votes: At the top of the list, I put Metroidvanias, particularly interesting platformers, and games where raocow's reaction and wonderment seem likely. Some of my top choices, in no particular order: Axiom Verge, Blob Wars, Super Paper Mario, Super Metroid Redesign, Dust, and Fly'N. I put some (though not all) of the wildly popular titles like Aquaria, Cave Story, and Shovel Knight below the top-tier, not because I don't want to see them but because there are already so many LPs of them. Below those were the wildly popular non-indie titles (other than Super Paper Mario). I'd like to see some LPs of less well-known games, especially the ones that in the trailers video produced a positive reaction of "I've never even heard of this!" I ranked Escape Goat 2 fairly low, because it's just a puzzle game, we already saw Escape Goat, and I don't really want more frustratedcow edit-fest death-reel videos. At the very bottom of the list, I put all the beat-em-up games. Above that were the "grindy" RPGs (including Crystalis, which requires quite a lot of grinding to even be able to hurt some enemies and bosses). EDIT: Judging by the current results, I'd guess that A Game with A Kitty and Azure Striker Gunvolt are getting some benefits from starting with 'A'. Aquaria and Axiom Verge are getting the same benefits together with many actual votes. And there's still a strong alphabetical tendency; the list really should have started in a separate column and anything that didn't get dragged into the main list been unranked.

Filby Pott

I'm kinda sorry that I watched slowbeef's LP of Axiom Verge, because it *would* be a great game for raocow to LP, but it's already been spoiled for me.

The death reel situation in Escape Goat did not really happen until the Postgame. The regular game was a happy fest

I feel kinda bad that I neither have the time to watch the trailer montage nor the time to do the voting thing properly. I didn't get the chance to submit my own B-Side suggestion (OFF - I would suggest anyone interested to check out AgentJR's let's play of it if raocow doesn't get to play it). Scanning through the list, my top choices would be: 1. Escape Goat 2 (gotta finish what you start!) 2. Crash Bandicoot 2 (the first one is janky and unpolished and I'm afraid it would put you off the series, which rapidly becomes top quality!) 3. One of the Megaman/Rockman games 4. One of the Metroidvanias 5. The Steam release of Copy Kitty (I know it's not on the list but dammit it's the best game! Totally changed and even better!) My votes don't count, but there they are! :D

PizzaPony

Clearly the best solution is to play all the games. You don't have any plans for the next year, right?

Fawriel

I'd like to tell you in no unclear terms, raocow, that watching this video made me google "green penis on a chariot". That is a thing that happened.

>>2222269

SMT's Mara is probably the most explicit thing in a non-M rated game to exist.

Wymar Sane
>>2216372

No, we obviously need another person to LP the also-ran games. That way we get through twice the material in the same time. *glances Horikawawawa-wards*
