AO Let's Play

Posted 08-17-2014 at 08:04 PM by Job McYossie
I've finally started a AO let's play. I've been planning on doing one for 2 years now. Technically more than 2 years, but it's been 2 years that I'd been actively thinking about it. I don't know where all the secrets are, but I think I've got them so far, stopped recording episodes when I got to Monsiac Lines.

I never realized I could get so ranty about a game before. There were times I'd just go off, which I hope some people will find comedic. There was one point though that I got genuinely mad. Something I always loved AO for was when you died, it was YOUR fault. There was a secret section where I was waiting for 2 sligs to face away from where I'd fall down so I could say "look out!" and shoot them both, but they just randomly decided to both start beating up the same mudokon and not stop. Of course the mud died and I got so angry because that wasn't something in my control. One of the things I hate the most in (single player) games is when you can lose from something entirely out of the player's control. I did eventually get it though, and the rest of the LP has been fun to record.

I just finished playing again AO yesterday. Missed four Mudokons. I wanted to have the game relatively fresh in my mind before I play NnT (whenever that will be).

The checkpoint placements really are terrible in relation to secret areas. I think the natural environments are the highlight of the game and the Stockyards and FreeFireZone have a great aesthetic. RuptureFarms was surprisingly a mixed bag and only a few areas actually stood out. The rest kind of looked like that Windows tube screensaver and was otherwise generic.

I haven't really seen any of NnT post-Paramonia (not including Scrabania) so I'm interested to see how Zulag 2-4 looks.

Ranting is fun. Remember: it's always the game's fault you died.

I'm still editing it! My recording skills for games are shit so my voice was too hard to hear in the first few episodes so I have to record a voice over.

I died one screen before a checkpoint after every. single. secret. The worst was the time I fell off the platform before the stockyards cutscene.

Oh, and rupture farms is beautiful, dick.

The barrels in Zulag 1 look nice. And there are a few areas that look cool later on - but still the generic pipe backgrounds just look so bland.

I despised the checkpoints in AO, especially for the secret areas, as Holy Sock said. I had to keep redoing the secret area in the very beginning of the Scrabanian Temple after mistiming a jump or getting shot by one of the Sligs in the background.

Let us know when you wrap up the LP videos! I want to see them!

First episode is done! Actually, first 4 are done, but only 1 and 4 will be available for watching as of now. One should be uploaded everyday.

Episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9gw161d_zM

Episode 4 (live commentary): http://youtu.be/Th2dDl6YkQw

Anyone wondering about my voice, I'm transgendered and a little sick at the moment so my voice wasn't in tip top shape.

EDIT: Episode 4 has been reuploaded with an audio fix, no more high pitch squeal.
