Videos of video games being played

Amigu

Hey guys there's a few games that I'd like to experience that are just too long or outdated for me to really want to actually play them start to finish. Is there anywhere I can watch shortened/edited footage of others playing them start to finish?

I think I recall there being an attempt to do this for Final Fantasy 7 on the G&T forum. Does this kind of video have a name that I can search?

Cheers!

It's an archive of Let's Plays. Might be a place to start.

Thanks dude this is awesome. I knew there was some term for it!

I did Final Fantasy VII but it's through screenshots, not videos. Also I make a lot of bad jokes. I do try to describe the plot the best I can, though.

But yeah, Let's Plays are what you're looking for. That site is a good one. Be careful of anything not from it, though, like stuff on Youtube. There are a lot of people there who are just trying to get Internet popular and are not at all interesting to listen to.

If you have an SA account, their LP forum can be really great, there are some legit funny people who aren't obnoxious.

There's a ton of LP videos on youtube. Depends if you want commentary (serious or funny) or not.

Also worth checking is the LP thread we have over in G&T.

Here's the link for it.
