Favourite Shenmue Let's-Play on YouTube?

Postby ShenGCH » Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:13 am

Sorry if a thread like this already exists (I couldn't be bothered searching either way, so whatever), but of all the let's-plays of Shenmue you've watched on YouTube, do you have a personal favourite?

There's been a pretty good amount pop up in the past couple of months, which is awesome (as are the let's-plays themselves, thanks to both the person playing keeping things interesting and the content of the playthrough itself), but my top favourite has always been ScottishDuck'17s let's-play from a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxuPSkwhS0&list=PL700F9EED15CAF109

Could be because it's the first full Shenmue let's-play I ever watched and it just stayed in my mind, but the dude is great at keeping the commentary interesting and is also very knowledgeable about the game itself. I still watch a couple of parts every now and then whenever the mood takes me. And that's why it's my personal favourite.

Honourable mentions also go to Lucky Hit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT2kVCR7fZM) and AgentAnnK (some of the parts can be found in these playlists, but a few are missing or set to private because they were uploaded directly from Twitch and there were issues, I guess: https://www.youtube.com/user/AgentAnnK/playlists?sort=dd&view=1).

So, what are yours? :).

This is one of my favourites, because she's a first time player and I liked to see the reactions of her because of that, as well as how Shenmue could impact someone's feelings and thoughts, how entertaining they would find it, while playing it for the first time.

Another one of my favourites is SupaGoGoMan's

I've watched a bit of ScottishDuck's and SupaGoGoMan's LPs and they are quite entertaining.
The latter one is better in my opinion as he shows more of the obscure stuff and generaly seems to know the game better, even though he's mocking the game a bit too much for my taste.

They're great as references if you can't find a particular scene or segment sans the commentary, but I honestly never saw the point or the appeal in Let's Plays. Although I'd probably watch a Conan Let's Play.

Or even better... Frankie Boyle!
