Let's Play Th3 Plan! - Episode 8: Paintings Get!

Game: Th3 Plan
Release Date: April 24, 2007

So, I have this game that I received for Chrismas 2 years ago and I thought I'd randomly whip it out when some friends are over. As the game was one in a pack of 3, I figured it wouldn't be such a good game, but what the heck, right?

As it turns out the game was worse than I thought.
..
...
So what better game to do for an LP?

Now, I only initially tried the first 15 or so minutes of the game. To that end, I have randomly decided to force Valkun to undertake this marvellous task of a blind playthrough of the game. And fortunately enough, I've been able to coax him to handle the arduous task of actually uploading the game, while I go through the challenge of playing it.

Join with me as we undertake an adventure of a game likely no one has ever heard of before.

And now for the 2 or 3 of you who may actually be bored enough to watch this lp:
(Legal disclaimer: I do not guarantee that this game or LP will be in any way entertaining or fun. As Valkun is a rather lazy fellow, I expect little to no editing, meaning that if I'm a total retard and take 20 minutes to solve an obvious puzzle, you shall in no way be spared that. Any emotional trauma sustained from merely watching this terrible game will not be subject to suit, though you may petition to reduce any viewing charges to a minimum of $14.57.)

You have been warned.

    I would be intrigued to watch this LP if it had an update yet. I've seen this game in bargain bins here and there and been curious about it, but never enough to play it. When do you think you'll post the first video?

    I bought this for $10 in an EB Games bargain bin.

    I sold it much later for $5 on eBay.

    I never played it, the shame would have been too great :lol: I am looking forward to watching the scourge I passed on

    First episode is in the pipelines right now. Google seems to have abandoned the future publishing of videos so we're treading on new video hosting territory. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but my initial impression of the game is that it is rather poor. We likely won't be doing any multiplayer unless a video gets screwed up and needs rerecording. The reason being that they decided that letting more than one person play is somehow BONUS CONTENT for completing a level.

    I actually bought this game, I have a thing for stealth/heist games. I think that's what this is, right? I will soon watch this video and find out.

    ...and then maybe play it. Also owned it for a year or two.

    I watched a bit of this. The game looks atrocious! But also like it could have been great if executed right.

    Also, in several spots I had trouble hearing the commentary over the game audio.

    Yes, I do understand. You can lower the music and the sound, but the voices just won't go down in this game. We still haven't figured out how to lower the game volume without lowering the microphone, too.

    Hmm weird. Sounds like it's part of the magic of this game then. :)

    All of episode part 3 is up! Those museum guards are really challenging, what with their fierce scoldings and all.

    Valkun has broken free of his restraints and forced me to post the beginning of this episode at gun point. Apparently he was right about the game not working...

    The game's lack of funding is starting to show itself now. We checked the credits in the manual and they've got like two quality assurance guys. It's so frustrating to know exactly what went wrong with that video but being unable to fix it because the code is fixed forever in its terrible state in that DVD-ROM. Basically, a guard somehow clipped through the floor. This presents a number of challenges because the floor is obviously a one way barrier that the guard could see and shoot up through but prevents the player from being able to interact with his instadeath raygun. Even loading the checkpoint did not reset the guard to a sane position. It's hard to believe they didn't include some sort of player/actor is outside level check. In any case, we're hoping that a second run-through will not result in this physics defying event to occur again.

    That sounds like a real bummer. Hope you're able to overcome it! I hate bugs like that.

    Okay! Through our brilliant planning (a.k.a. restarting the mission), we were able to be the guard with phase-shift armor and teleporting bullets. We've learned a number of things about museums: 1) Museum guards all shoot to kill. 2) Museum guards are trained to protect the back offices, not the million(maybe?) dollar artwork. 3) All secure data access can only be performed by having 3 different, specific, members of the staff all using their personal computers at exactly the same time. 4) Finally, if all else fails, crazy purple knockout gas.

    Episode 7 part 1 is up. We lost our insta-death rayguns and got normal pistols instead. :cry: But we do get to kill a lot of people. Still, the lack of clarity on how to complete objectives does slow us down a bit this mission.

    Episode 8 is up and ready. Incidentally, Valkun's computer has exploded. He's attempting to re-constitute the pieces, but it is a difficult effort - LP's may be on hold for a while.
