I'll watch LP videos sometimes. When Minecraft came out for the xbox360 I watched a bunch of LP's, wanting to see all of the unique things people are doing in the game. I was actually thinking of watching one for "Last of Us", since that game looks amazing. I don't own a PS3, never will, but wouldn't mind watching some hours of the game since it's apparently very cinematic.

I watched a lp of starcraft 2 because no fuckin way was I gonna buy that to watch the cutscenes. I also watch a fair amount of these videos at work where Im chained to a desk.

I've said this on another thread but they are really best for reliving CD-ROM era adventure games that you don't actually want to go through the hell of playing again, while working on something else in another window.

fuckin love robbaz but some of his videos are a little one note. his kerbal space program videos are pretty good because you can tell how much he loves the game and theres a good amount of lols from watching things explode.

uggggh I hate the voices and personalities of 99.9999% of the guys that do this. Most of the time I just want to watch a playthrough, but instead it's all these guys that won't shut up. The only exception is "Criken", who doesn't really make "let's play" videos, but they're video games with talking that are actually funny so close enough

Homestarrunner guys doing a short parody Let's Play for a short fake Atari game. Cute, though maybe not as funny as I wanted it to be.

so many strategy games have terrible tutorials and/or offer no real indication on how to get going that these things are basically essential/save you hours and hours of grief
