So, I'm thinking about doing a "Let's Play" of FEAR 2 as my very first play on Hard with a mic on to record my reactions. Think that'd be interesting?
Only if you can muster a charming British accent while doing it. Helloween has somewhat spoiled me for Let's Plays...
Seriously, if you want, go for it. Don't try to ape Helloween's style and go through in your own fashion. That way if he does one and they're both funny in their own way, we get double funny out of it.
I was thinking of doing FEAR 2, but if someone else wants to give it a go instead thats cool. Means I can do something else maybe.
But... But...
I got beaten to the draw :P I thought it was too early for it anyway.
More on topic, I hope the place I ordered it from sends it soon
This is at the top of my Gamefly queue, I'm hoping they send it today. If not I'll have to wait it out for a few weeks till I get to play it.
Mine was sent yesterday. :P
I know! I put mine at the top because it said "Available now" and I moved it immediately, but I had two games out already. So I kept Chrono Trigger DS... In hopes that they would send FEAR 2, but I doubt it now.
e: Just looked and they are sending it today!!! WOOT!!
I don't totally get the "too early" jazz. If the game is out and you can play it through, why is it too early to make an LP of it? I guess hype gets in the way, though.

Well,I was thinking about doing FEAR2 when I first play through it.
Kinda do the whole "german spin" on it.

You would have to put some Helloween tunes in it for some extra confusion.
If I can manage to make it to the end of Dead Space, I'll try FEAR 2. It looked considerably more creepy and balls-to-the-walls than the first.

It'll probably get here Friday if I'm lucky, but Saturday sounds more realistic. Mann I'm stoked!

I've got my copy here on my desk at work. I had a gift card for Bestbuy left over from the holidays, so I used it to snag a $30~ copy during lunch.
Probably won't play it until the weekend, though. I plan on doing a lights-out run Friday night. Maybe I've got time to barrel through the first one again as a refresher.
Or watch Helloween's LP of it.

Maybe Helloween and me will do a "co-op LP" sending the savegame back and forth, switching each part.
I'm currently pitching him the idea and my seductive german voice is doing what it does best.
edit. Oh ho ho I see what you did there. (I totally didn't at first )
You must have been kicking yourself. Yes I think I've run that into the ground now.
From my standpoint "more of the same" isn't bad, but it feels wasted considering the decent fundament PO had. I do hope for some really varied and creative scares though - shooting in F.E.A.R. was tense and all but it got a little repetitive.

The consensus seems to be that it gives other people time to play through the game as well. While I understand some people watch LPs to see others play a game they wouldn't, the majority actually do play the game. That's at least half the fun of the thread. However, who am I to stop anyone from playing something for the Internet?
As for LP type, that's all subjective. Blind, skilled, whatever you like really comes down to your tastes.
Anyway, since most people don't have the game yet making an LP now is way too early. Give others a chance to play the game. :P
Id say a good week or so until people make a LP. That would satiate. Most people who want it would have it by then. And even if earlier, Ill still watch it. I want to see how it turns out.
6 months is a bit much right now considering everyone already wants to do one. And a lot of them are people who want to do it on their first playthrough, and I dont believe theyll wait that long to play it. So either a week, or a month. I can see that happening.

There's apparently already a playthrough of the game up on Youtube. SA's got a link on a playlist that seems to be legit, but I haven't actually watched any of the videos. The scares are the biggest draw for me on this type of game.
I also agree with the 6 month rule. Not everyone plays at the same pace, or has enough time to devote in order to keep up.

Oh I know what you mean, but i say again. All these people that want to do a LP want to do it on their first run through, so they wont want to wait 6 months. It would also be great to see one done like that because Id love to see their reactions going through.

Then they can and do do them here, on YouTube, or in one of those other LP communities no one cares about.
And I still maintain blind runs are awful and no one that does them is ever funny or says anything interesting because it's awful and it's an awful idea. If you're trying to show off a game, your first playthrough obviously isn't the best way to do it.

To follow on Pancake's heels, part of what makes a VLP run right is a good voice. Do you really want to hear someone socially awkward try to talk you through a game with high pitched shrieks and poor pronunciation? It'd be distracting at best.
Helloween is currently the only person on PA right now that I'd say would have a voice I wouldn't shut off the moment he screamed in terror.
EDIT: Simply put - the better prepared you are, the less likely you're going to sound like the example posted. Not everyone has a natural command of the mic and the wit to back it up.
I'd argue to an extent that blind LPs are a thing of the past. However, Maxwell Adam's LP of Ocarina of Time Master Quest is better suited being blind. The main reason being that it's a game that's really only remembered by its down right sadistic puzzles. Breezing through that kind of game or other similar games is no fun to watch.
Really though, this is completely off topic and not necessary at all.
Does anyone know what time this game unlocks on Steam? The sooner, the better.

GameSpot has quietly fixed their error and made a short vague apology at the bottom of the page.
I can't find this game anywhere. None of my local best buys have received it, and I can't even think of any other retailers that stock PC games on day one. Target, maybe? They didn't have it yet either. And none of my local Gamestops sell new PC games anymore.
Bahhhhh
Also, any idea how long this is? Reading that someone has already done an LP of it is kind of discouraging.

I picked up mine before work at the local gamestop but I reserved it. Got the neat little document book with lots of cool background info in it. If not around today try thurdsay or Friday at target or wallmart
I bought the retail PC version and then decided to just throw the key into Steam and download it, since I can't play it for a while and it requires Steam activation anyway. I'll post some impressions later...really excited after the demo. The first is one of my favorite games.
EDIT: Oh man, Psychotic, your post just reminded me that Gamestop didn't give me my pre-order bonus document thingy. Well...crap. That's the first time I've had an issue there. Oh well. I guess if I didn't remember to ask about it, I wasn't very excited for it.

I wasn't really impressed with the pre-order crap for this one. Kind of surprised there wasn't any additional stuff for the US release. Oh well.

How many people are getting the 360 version? I am but that's because my PC sucks.
Seriously, I bought the original for the PC and the setting had to be reduced so low I could hardly stand it.
360 here. Decent TV, but the computer is right on the bubble of being able to run it. Maybe in a couple of years when I have a better computer, I'll buy it for the PC.

360. I'll definitely be up for some multi once I beat the SP.
Actually I'm seriously thinking of doing a lets play of this game. Might be entertaining to listen to a dude with no horror tolerance attempt to play though this game.
We'll see if the cash works out to pick it up.
