Berlen Alberto

I hope they will release it to the switch in a far future at least. And got it. Before shipping anything I'll let you know in advance. Thank you Welonz.

Materwelonz

I have an iPhone so that could work, but ideally if some HD remaster could come to PC that would be best 🙏 I've got a PO box here: #626 - 8623 Granville Street Vancouver, BC V6P 5A2 Canada (if you do send anything let me know in advance!)

Berlen Alberto

Will do, count on it. And yeah, if you don't have a ds or a 3ds that's a problem. If I remember correctly it's also on Ios, but that's probably not better. Do you have a po box?

Materwelonz

Feel free to bring it up the next time there's a vote! This one's already started so I can't add any new options. But specifically relating to Ghost Trick - IIRC it's on the DS (which I don't have), so that's a barrier.

Berlen Alberto

If you are have in list Phoenix Wright, can you take in to consideration Ghost trick phantom detective? It's a really good game from the the same writer of the original ace attorney trilogy and it's a stand alone game, so it wouldn't take as much time. It's also unknown to most people and to me that's a shame.

Liam McDermott (JeevesBond)

I watched an LP of Alien Isolation when it came out, and there's definitely some filler towards the end. You can tell the devs were given a target playtime. Still a good game though!

Blue72

Another Q&A another chance for me to try and think of a not-completely stupid question that hasn't already been asked. 🤔

Dave

Oh I WISH there would be any new announcements about them. There were rumors about CoL 2, but, gonna be honest, it doesn't look like Ubi went far with this idea. Thanks for the consideration!

Eric H.

Looks like it's not enforced at all (countless complete livestreams/LPs on youtube/twitch) but i can understand your hesitation.

naoxmon

I took a quick look but already kind of knew what it was about, can't really say much more without spoiling though. Be careful not to read too much about it, there aren't big spoilers to be had but it might change your view on the game even before you eventually play it. It might not be perfect but it really is unlike any other game, and something you have to experience yourself! Not going to pretend it will be all fun and games (lol) but you've already played sequences in several other games that have a similar level of tension by now, and I'm sure you'll do fine :)

Materwelonz

I think Child of Light and Rapture are short enough I can consider them for small gaps as opposed to this poll mainly for filling a big gap! If there's any sequels/related works coming out soon for either, that would be the best time for me to get to them!

Materwelonz

Ah yeah I think when people say it's long its in relation to the content (repetition + stress) and not the absolute number of hours! Quite a number of discussions pop up if you google "alien isolation too long" if you're interested to take a look. I actually do want to try it out eventually too, but maybe after some more building up courage!! First person is still such a big mental hurdle for me lol

Zischrot

It would be really nice to see you dive into Elden Ring and hear your thoughts and interpretations on the lore of Elden Ring. I think this game would be very enjoyable for you....even with the 100 times genre thingy. Just give it a try :D

naoxmon

lol excuses Welonz :P Alien Isolation is the same 20-30h length as most games on that list, quite shorter than 60h Andromeda or Dragon Age and a lot shorter than 100h BOTW or Elden Ring! If people are saying it's too long that's probably about the pacing and the fact that's still a long time to spend stressed out, but that's very subjective and objectively it's not a long game. I totally understand if you don't want to chance it though lol no worries :)

Evan!!

I'm still hoping she does Disco Elysium eventually, especially since it's currently about 90% voice acted.

Stephen Brown

Ah that's rubbish. Fair enough mate, find yourself something stress-free instead (:

Calliope Rannis

Yeah it's pretty obscure rn! Looks like quite the hidden gem, to me at least. ^w^

Materwelonz

Calmmo

I don't believe those restrictions exist for P5R tho, they were P5 only?!

Materwelonz

NO THANK YOU... I am not gonna tempt fate like that 🤣 I need to atleast start with something shorter first, everywhere I look everyone complains about Alien Isolation being toooo long!

Materwelonz

Sega & Atlus never walked back on the streaming restrictions so I can't consider Persona 5 at all. Not opposed to Lost Judgment, I just didn't have time to get to it when it came out alongside a whole bunch of stuff with it being on the longer end

Materwelonz

Oh dear I totally forgot about the whole voicing thing with Phoenix Wright hahaha

Materwelonz

I *am* casually keeping track of Persona 5 Royal coming to PC soonish, but I think the problem with Persona is more Sega & Atlus' streaming restrictions, which I don't think they've ever officially walked back on.

Materwelonz

Leave me alone until October at least 🤣

Materwelonz

Oh, I wouldn't mind putting this one in the poll too! I've heard Sekiro doesn't have stuff with builds so that honestly might be even more up my alley.

Materwelonz

Ooo I haven't heard of this one at all - thanks, I'll keep it in mind!!

Materwelonz

I put "story only", not "main story only" - happy go through with side quests that have some narrative relevance, but would pass on stuff like "collect 50 Asari writings"!

naoxmon

cough*alien-isolation*cough Come on Welonz, don't be scared and put it on the list :D there's no way it can win against Elden Ring or Breath Of The Wild anyway :P Pretty excited by several of the games on the list though, including Elden Ring and BOTW, and I didn't play it myself but also interested in 13 Sentinels, which was already mentioned several times.

Calmmo

If you're going to do a 100hr type game it should be persona 5 :P Id like to see Judgment but at this point its safe to assume you're not into it enough to want to try the sequel since it didn't get a whole lot better (small improvements here and there but slightly less interesting story)

Daneeka

I would +1 a 13 Sentinels let's play. I will say, voicing an entire visual novel like Phoenix Wright would be hard, but if you're feeling up to doing it, I would definitely enjoy it. Elden Ring is a great first FromSoft game, so if you do decide on doing it you'll be in for a treat.

captain carrot

Too bad Disco Elysium is not an option this time:(. I'm not really sure what I will vote for yet, there are a few games here I would love to see you play...

Bookwyrm

As someone who has played the Dragon Age series since it released I would love a remaster, but I feel it is unlikely to happen anytime soon

Jin

Belated congratulations on 75K and many more to come! :) I don't know if I can recommend Mass Effect Andromeda if you're just going to play the main quests. The side quests give more insight to the current ME world too, so it might be hard to ignore them. I'm not a big fan of side quests but ME definitely wouldn't be the same without them. And yes, the summer heat got my head fried but it's cooling down... with heavy rain and flash floods☹

Purbayan Chatterjee

Really excited to see Elden Ring and/or BOTW on the channel, two of the best video games ever made. All of the games in the poll are awesome, but I also want to highlight 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, it is a criminally underrated game, and I do feel like it is a perfect fit for the channel.

Eric H.

+1 for both 13 Sentinels and Persona. I think Welonz would really enjoy Persona for the story, characters and all the social sim stuff but those games are just so long lol.

Dave

Well, Celeste and Omori belong to a specific category for me. The games everybody talk about, and you really want to watch, but they are not on any of your favorite channels. So damn hard to find good letsplayers nowadays, that have genuine interest in what they are playing! So, looking forward to it. I think Zelda is a great fit for the channel too. From what I saw, it has an interesting combat system and puzzles and great story. Also, the knowledge of the previous games is not necessary. As for JFO, the only necessary piece of star wars media is Episode III, as I mentioned before. It's a lot to ask to watch a two hours long movie just to start a game, but this is the only way to understand some crucial parts of the story. Fallen Order is a great game. Hope you will eventually get to it, espacially considering the recent sequel announcement. Any chance we can get Child of Light and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture into this poll or the next one? Thanks for all the work! A great August for you too, with a lot of grass to touch =D

Jonathan B.

Not before Alien: Isolation :P

Stephen Brown

Some great games on that list. Some more fun to play than to watch, I’d say. Would love to see 13 Sentinels make the cut. It’s a real treat, and would suit the channel to a T, though I don’t think enough people know about it to win a poll, sadly. Plus, still quietly holding out hope for Persona someday ✨

Magiconenl

My vote would be for dragons age.

Jeffrey Hardy Quah

I'm still hoping in vain for a 13 Sentinels LP but you can't go wrong with Dragon Age.

Eric H.

Just remember that if you play Elden Ring or any other Fromsoft game for that matter your channel will never be the same again. If the Danganronpa fanbase got on your nerves you ain't seen nothing yet lol.

pepak

I must say, I am very curious about Welonz's take on Resident Evil 1. I was quite impressed with RE2 and 3, but 1 is, for me, where the real Resident Evil is.

Christopher Davis

https://www.gamesradar.com/dragon-age-4-reportedly-launching-in-2023-with-no-plans-for-a-remastered-trilogy/ might be the article you remember. It doesn't completely rule out a remaster of DA:O (since Grubb says the "trilogy" isn't being remastered) but I wouldn't expect a standalone remaster either. Looking forward to whatever's next, and that looks like a great poll list....

dezereks

Any chance on adding Resident Evil 7 onto the list? You can't have just one scary game on it.

Glen Jones

Oh man that poll list is so good, I don't know what I'll vote for! But I'll still shoot my shot and ask to see final fantasy X on there 😆 as much as I'd love to see Elden ring, the time commitment on it is huge and I ended up giving up myself 😆

Jonathan B.

Celeste, Phoenix Wright, the Arkham series — very excited for the poll this time around. :) If Elden Ring ends up entering your queue, I'd recommend first skimming some non-spoiler reviews from people who have finished the game. I'd say it's worth your time if you're into the core gameplay loop, world exploration and atmosphere. Where it falls short (imo) is with its simple, apathetic narrative and an egregious amount of repetition (incl. bosses and events). Anyone hoping for the depth and lasting impact of games like The Witcher and Hollow Knight should look elsewhere. Anywho, I'm looking forward to what's next!

Megamusic

House of ashes where somewhere in between . I think the main problems for me they are too short and the story suffer . Especially in the first two like the ending is rushed .

Megamusic

Little hope on the other hand .I did really enjoy that . I liked how they told the story and was definitely more of horror atmosphere .

Megamusic

With in regards to DPA games . I really was disappointed with man of maiden . The jump scares where really lame and the story completely was lacking for me . They gave it away at the start and I was waiting for a plot twist that didn't happen

Erik Nilsson

+1 for Sekiro

Krieger

I think it’s finally time for Omori to come forward. I know the folks voting for it have been waiting patiently for a lull like this, I know I’ll be voting for it.

Jack Frost

Yay Jedi Fallen Order !

B11zzard1991

Let's go elden ring

Tagyru

Funny you mention Sleeping Dogs. I don't know why but I thought about it yesterday and thought I should watch your LP of it. Also in your current game selection for the futur poll, I am torn between Celest and Arkham Asylum. I think AH is just a good game but Arkham City is in my top 5 games and I'd hope you play it someday. But these past few year I have been more attracted to indie games and Celest is a masterpiece of an indie game.

Wanafu567

Since you mentioned Elden Ring, and you Enjoyed SIFU. You should really try out Sekiro!

Mecchi

omg i gasped so loudly when I saw Ace attorney in the poll!!!!!! I'd LOVE to see you play it, the story and mysteries will be a lot less daunting than AINI so it'd be a good change of pace haha! Also, definitely go for something you want to play for the 100+ parts serie, you'll be the one playing it after all!

Lord Atrexia

Take care of yourself Welonz, even over here in the UK the weather has been genuinely unbearable, funny that a trip to Spain over the summer actually felt cooler 😂 Perhaps not one for the channel, but since you mentioned Elden Ring it’d be cool to get your thoughts on Sekiro one day. It’s way more narrative focused than the other From games and with the focus on Japan and it’s history - it really seems up your alley ^^

Calliope Rannis

Yeahhh, the heat has turned off my brain too, so you are very valid! XD I do have a new game recc for you though! If you have been wanting to play a new Immersive Sim game lately, I can reccomend Ctrl Alt Ego, a game of that genre where you play as a disembodied consciousness that travels and controls multiple robot bodies to serve your goals: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1571940/Ctrl_Alt_Ego/ It's apparently a quite big game too, and there is deffo quite a bit of story just in the demo I played, so maybe you will like it too! :D
