Let's Play Blue Planet [video series] [Complete!]
--Update, complete!--

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=89944469B0FCEEC0

If you guys don't have any objections I was going to do a Let's Play of Blue Planet: Director's Cut on YouTube, I've already recorded about half the missions, and they are encoding right now.

There will be gliding.

Edit: btw- HD Quality :D

Link to playlist now up, only first mission up so far just to start off.

ETA 12 hours for everything else I've done so far, going to sleep while it encodes then upload in the morning.

Playing on Hard? Brave man.....Especially if you are playing with the 3.6.12 AI.

Been watching. It is very exciting.

I'm actually not sure that you fully appreciate how incredibly valuable this is. After so long spent tweaking these missions, it's basically impossible for us to look at them as a cohesive whole. Getting a fresh set of eyes on it is not only a lot of fun, but it lets us see what works and what doesn't in a way that's otherwise very difficult.

Forced Entry was quite interesting. :) Very, very different from my own style.

Re: Let's Play Blue Planet [video series] [mostly complete!]
Indeed. To be honest, I am quite surprised that you managed to take down fighters and bombers as well as you did with that Maxim

The rest of the campaign will be up in a few hours.

There will be spontaneous bug testing.

Could you put the mission nº on every vid, it's hard to tell where to look first when looking for a particular mission, other than that it's just very nice to see some new FS action on youtube  ^^

Good videos and interesting to see how you tackled Forced Entry.

Spoiler:
I thought your idea of taking just Maxims at first would cause you trouble against bombers and fighters but on the plus side you had both Rakshasa' dead by the time the first GTVA Cruiser arrived.

I used Herc IIs for Alpha, which were armed with Maxims and Prom-S and then I used trebs to knockout two beams on each Rakshasa. I gave Beta all Ares armed with Maxims and Kaysers while Gamma used Aurora's with Kaysers and Balors. This made protecting the first Cruiser a bit more work as it took beam damage shortly before we could take out both Rakshasa Cruisers. Beta's Ares cut through Bombers pretty quickly once they paired their primaries combined with Tornado spam. The rest however was fairly straightforward, like you said it's all about good management. Quite a challenging mission first time you play it.

Looking forward to the rest of your videos. :yes:

Hey, you use the same Forced Entry loadout as me. I love pimping around with only the Maxim and five Trebs. It's like the Dadaist approach to the mission.

arwetfgaklgrhea! You stopped right before one of my favorite missions.

 
Re: Let's Play Blue Planet [video series] [mostly complete!]
It's all there now :D
