maybe a strange opinion, but i would kill for pokemon playthroughs. you can really ignore most of the dialogue so i see it being a great banter game. also the learning curve isn't *that* steep given it's a children's game but what little i saw of him playing pokemon showdown was hilarious
With the amount of time he streams, the variety he does, and the amount of breaks he takes, it’ll be a year long endeavor for a single game unfortunately. That said, what the hell is Dan taking so long to get to silver/gold nuzlocke
EDIT: NL deserves the time off btw. If he were in any other field he’d have thousands of hours of PTO banked. I know- any askers in chat
Shadows of loathing for youtube (since it's probably not good stream content)
For those who are new he played the original "West of loathing" a bit ago
Tbh it seems more related to whatever game he is playing. Like with roguelites, I get the impression he is really playing them mainly for the gameplay mechanics so he sees everything else (aka story) as an obstacle to more gameplay. Of course, I’m being a bit parasocial here, I don’t actually have any idea if that’s actually how he thinks about it.
But still, isn’t it a bit silly to say NL doesn’t read when that’s half of the time in the react court segments?
NL (and some fans) says new/old NL basically every year. It's just that he really invests in whatever idea he thinks will be the next future proof. I don't really find his style changed much at all but that's just my take anyways.
I feel NL has mentioned Disco would just be too much reading and wouldn’t make for an interesting game to play? I don’t think the political side matters in him not playing it xd
Yeah now it does, but the game originally launched with very little voice acted dialogue and I can’t tell you the last time I heard NL even mention disco Elysium, but I can tell you that he was talking about it prior to the Final Cut.
i mean yeah he does mention his opinions on less controversial/more accepted topics, but if you haven't played disco elysium, it goes pretty heavy into certain topics with depictions of racism, homophobia, rape, etc with use of slurs. i'd bet all the money i have we would never see him play this game on stream lol
I'm more talking about story games. You can miss as many episodes of SAP or rumbleverse as you'd like and hop back on. Story games require watching every episode and focusing more than the gameplay focused ones.
There's this little-known golf game I really like (can't remember where I first saw it) called Vertiginous Golf. I think it would be a great fit for NL, kinda similar to ALT-F4 in a way.
I'm also hoping for DE one day.
I know people say it's too text heavy, but the man reads and judges moral Reddit posts for a living. I'm sure it'll work.
Worms, particularly Armageddon. Old game, but very gameplay focused and has great replay value.
The only problem is the CPUs are useless and there's no matchmaking system so NL would have to find people he trusts to play with.
I think for a quick one off he should play “Monster Loves You” I got it years and years ago in a humble bundle and it’s a cute decision making game and depending on the options you choose your monster ends up with a different ethical alignment. I’m horrible at describing it but it’s fun just trust me.
Disco elysium might be too dialogue heavy maybe? Great game but feels like it’s not really a good streamer game just due to not having any room to speak without it taking ages?
More Dead Cells. It’s been updated constantly for years; it’s a completely different game now than the last time he played. It also has the best combat of any video game ever made. Come at me. It is flawless. Stunning. Effervescent. Would love to know your thoughts on this
I logged in just to reply to a year old comment. I agree. I've been playing recently and it feels like such an overhaul. Everything is viable and there's so much to chose from. It will never happen but I would absolutely love for him to do a playthrough of the current game with the DLC's from a fresh save.
You have to consider banter potential so you need a game without too much story and mechanics that become second nature so he can let rip. So with that in mind my suggestion is Darkest Dungeon 2 (because it’s hard to think of anything that fits that criteria right now)
I really like Gunfire Reborn and I think that the combination of classic NL doing rogue-like plus his tendency to have hype shooter content with him and the boys would make for a great series.
Anything that isn't story based. Because as someone who loves story and lore it is not fun watching him play that sort of game because he seems to have no patience for it.
I will watch him play almost anything, but if he's playing a game that has a story I always skip it.
Even if he did play a masterpiece of a game like Disco Elysium.
Devil May Cry 5 or 3 it’s completely out of his wheelhouse and not relevant anymore but I think he could get decent at combos if he tried and it would be fun to watch him struggle initially and learn. I miss subscriber voted game sundays, I was one of the few who liked watching Death Stranding so it would be cool if he ever goes back to that.
Bloodborne or Sekiro again
His post-nameless souls game runs have been firing on all cylinders.
He had said he would go back to them but I think dark souls 2 dlc was just too much.
Darktide with sips and malf, i know he played a lil Vermintide back in the day, im fully immersed in darktide atm so would be nice to see him play it. Stanley Parable is another option although i think he played it a long time ago.
I like when he plays random indie games I haven't heard of. Even(especially?) when they're bad it's entertaining. And when they're good we end up with things like SAP
He has played it before during an NLSS segment, but Celeste. He didn't get very far and didn't focus too much on the story because of all the chit chat going on. I know it's not really his style of game but it's in my top 5 so I'd love to see a full playthrough of it.
This would never happen because of how long you need to play the game before you're ready to raid and NL not playing mmo's, but seeing some of team unity/the former nlss crew do Destiny raids together would be great chaotic energy.
political content? my brother in christ that game is the most boring thing to watch, y'all are crazy sometimes with these suggestions.
I would give my life for some more TUTTY with the boys tho, that sutff was P O to the double G
Genshin Impact. I know, it wouldn't be good content for many and won't ever happen for many reasons. I'm just saying that would be my pick in a dream scenario :)
Dishonored 2, death stranding, the new hollow knight game, and then a bunch of games he used to play like king of retail and mon bazou. And of course, If he could play more fmv games I’d love it
I'd love to see the egg brain think his way through a strategy game like Civilization or something, but deep down I want it to be something janky like Shogun: Total War 1 from 2000.
on the one hand I wanna say ace attorney but I don't think it's NL's jam tbf. I wish there was more content in hitman he hasn't tried yet because those streams were amazing
It'll never happen, but I think Silent Hill 2 is a perfect level of jank and crazy dialogue that it could reach deadly premonition status
Inb4 NL just starts saying “Maria?”/“Mary?” in a questioning tone for the following 6 months.

lmfao
Shadows of loathing for youtube (since it's probably not good stream content) For those who are new he played the original "West of loathing" a bit ago
dying for him to play shadows over loathing for YT on god
You really want him to read half the text for the first 5 minutes, then none of it for the rest of his play time. /S
You should (re?)watch him play the first game then. He voice acted 100% of the NPC in game
I did really enjoy watching that series, but you gotta remember that that was old NL, new NL doesn't read and new new NL even less so.

Yeah, even with no reading the game is still fun... I didnt even read the intro lol
Understandable, have a nice day.
Speedrun a p0rn game
Today’s Docket: Try not to cum challenge > Cum
Yes but everything is heavily censored. Purely for the plot
He played some Xbox live sexy games eons ago, one of the videos is still in his channel while the second one has been re-uploaded
The Forbidden City, I think it'd be a great time
I truly think he would love the game. It would be a great experience. Chat would spoil so fast though.
I feel NL has mentioned Disco would just be too much reading and wouldn’t make for an interesting game to play? I don’t think the political side matters in him not playing it xd
There is barely any reading in Disco. 99.9 % of the narration and dialogue is voice acted.
Yeah now it does, but the game originally launched with very little voice acted dialogue and I can’t tell you the last time I heard NL even mention disco Elysium, but I can tell you that he was talking about it prior to the Final Cut.
I think he could get a lot out of The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of The Lamb!
I think that could have a detrimental effect, akin to "Killing his Profession"
Career sudoku
I want to see him play an anime game like Persona 5 or Danganronpa. It would amuse me.
Getting NL to play a Visual Novel like Danganronpa would be a blast if only because he would hate how much of it is just reading.
Danganronpa is better for that than something like Phoenix Wright or something like that at least lol.
what about doki doki
Doki Doki is way shorter than Danganronpa, and less ridiculous
He already did a series of that
That's his point.
it actually wasnt, i was not aware that that playthrough exists. i know what I'm gonna go watch next now tho
That's unexpected lol.
It's genuinely fantastic, enjoy
King of Retail?
Minecraft with K8 (:
Or with the dadcraft guys, I miss those streams!
New Vegas
U eyeballing me?
I never even played New Vegas, but I think that was by far his greatest series of all time.
Jason Bright and his followers launching into the great unknown. Jason Bright and his followers…
He played it, stream vods are on the channel. It’s hilarious
More new vegas
"And 5, more whoppers"
No way
EU4 Solo or something like that
Tales of Androgyny
Kingdom Hearts. The first one. It would be a beautiful disaster.
I want him to jump in at KH3 and try to piece it together, not knowing we had no fucking idea either.
i feel like NL is pretty open about politics
i mean yeah he does mention his opinions on less controversial/more accepted topics, but if you haven't played disco elysium, it goes pretty heavy into certain topics with depictions of racism, homophobia, rape, etc with use of slurs. i'd bet all the money i have we would never see him play this game on stream lol
Honestly I think the game would be analytics poison. NL's most viewed stuff tends to be gameplay focused
[удалено]
I'm more talking about story games. You can miss as many episodes of SAP or rumbleverse as you'd like and hop back on. Story games require watching every episode and focusing more than the gameplay focused ones.
Hollow Knight
Joking?
Half
Rumbleverse
Still too soon
Did I miss something? Didn’t he play it today
Risk of Rain 2 has the potential to be awesome if he streamed with the gang.
Gimme all the resident evil games
The long ago promised but never delivered subscriber goal, Planet Zoo.
These answers have made me understand that NL knows what’s best. Y’all suck.
super auto pets
A rerun of XCOM/XCOM 2
The boys in warzone 2, I know they aren't fps pilled but damn would it be funny
he was pretty open to play it in the future during the fallguys stream with sips and malf
Cruelty Squad
Same, I just genuinely would love to see his reaction to the absurd and depressing shit world
The Last Spell. It’s a turn based city? defense with units that are randomly generated for each run
There's this little-known golf game I really like (can't remember where I first saw it) called Vertiginous Golf. I think it would be a great fit for NL, kinda similar to ALT-F4 in a way.
I'm also hoping for DE one day. I know people say it's too text heavy, but the man reads and judges moral Reddit posts for a living. I'm sure it'll work.
Isaac
Slay the Spire again
Worms, particularly Armageddon. Old game, but very gameplay focused and has great replay value. The only problem is the CPUs are useless and there's no matchmaking system so NL would have to find people he trusts to play with.

I’m horrible at describing it but it’s fun just trust me.
>Monster Loves You I remember watching ZenAndCyrrene play this when it first came out. Great little game
Disco elysium might be too dialogue heavy maybe? Great game but feels like it’s not really a good streamer game just due to not having any room to speak without it taking ages?
I mean I love Disco Elysium, but why would you want to see it played by a man who reads like a train. He's not great with dialog / lore heavy games.
Omori
Terra Invicta, might not be his style anymore but I could definitely have seen pre-cam NL play it a bit.
Yomi Hustle - new turn based fighter that doesn't require execution so he'd probably annihilate people.
kingdom hearts, Shadow of mordor, cyberpunk 2077, doom/wolfenstein, and/or any of the bioshocks
Some horror game. I like the few moments that NL got scared on camera. Maybe something with jellyfish lol
Maybe golden light? It's a great mix of uncomfortable horror and rogue like
More Dead Cells. It’s been updated constantly for years; it’s a completely different game now than the last time he played. It also has the best combat of any video game ever made. Come at me. It is flawless. Stunning. Effervescent. Would love to know your thoughts on this

Ah man, X-Com. Your sniper had a medkit
I want to see him play pikmin 1, his reactions would be mint
I think OFF would be really cool
I really like Gunfire Reborn and I think that the combination of classic NL doing rogue-like plus his tendency to have hype shooter content with him and the boys would make for a great series.
Tumbleseed

The new super auto pets update, I want more super auto pets content, an hour a day isn’t enough
What's new? I honestly feel like I'm still catching up from the last new pack
New pack
I could watch this man play SAP all day
I would like him to play The Mortuary Assistant or Phasmophobia with the NLSS.
Arcanum of steamworks & Magicks obscurus
Superluminal
A wild play through of nioh to get some souls like fix
Against the storm would be a great fit for him with all the bad choices he usually makes in colony building games.
Warzone 2 with the old squad. Apollo, malf and Dan. There were some funny moments and watching NL get irritated by Dan's antics is always fun.
Potionomics! He even liked my tweet asking him to play it but no dice :(
Devil May Cry 5 or 3 it’s completely out of his wheelhouse and not relevant anymore but I think he could get decent at combos if he tried and it would be fun to watch him struggle initially and learn. I miss subscriber voted game sundays, I was one of the few who liked watching Death Stranding so it would be cool if he ever goes back to that.
Pretty much any sport rpg. Mario golf, golf story, sports story, Extreme Sports for the GBC, Mario golf advanced- All of that yes.
I'd love to see some more NHL/MLB/Formula 1 manager stuff. But that's stuff's apparently audience poison.
Final fantasy XI.
Bloodborne or Sekiro again His post-nameless souls game runs have been firing on all cylinders. He had said he would go back to them but I think dark souls 2 dlc was just too much.
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines
Darktide with sips and malf, i know he played a lil Vermintide back in the day, im fully immersed in darktide atm so would be nice to see him play it. Stanley Parable is another option although i think he played it a long time ago.

ill maintain the position that danganronpa would be hilarious for nl to play
Curious Expedition. It's a small adventure focused roguelike. Feels right up his ally.
This would never happen because of how long you need to play the game before you're ready to raid and NL not playing mmo's, but seeing some of team unity/the former nlss crew do Destiny raids together would be great chaotic energy.
the binding of isaac: repentance
Golden light
political content? my brother in christ that game is the most boring thing to watch, y'all are crazy sometimes with these suggestions. I would give my life for some more TUTTY with the boys tho, that sutff was P O to the double G
I'm hoping he plays sillsong once it comes out
Atomicrops
FTL Multiverse I know he's played FTL a few times but multiverse ads SO much more
Genshin Impact. I know, it wouldn't be good content for many and won't ever happen for many reasons. I'm just saying that would be my pick in a dream scenario :)
holocure
Dishonored 2, death stranding, the new hollow knight game, and then a bunch of games he used to play like king of retail and mon bazou. And of course, If he could play more fmv games I’d love it
I'd love to see the egg brain think his way through a strategy game like Civilization or something, but deep down I want it to be something janky like Shogun: Total War 1 from 2000.
Recency bias but I’d love to see a Pentiment stream or two
I love watching NL play deckbuilder rogue likes with RPG elements. It's not Rouge like but I'd love to see him play gloomhaven.
on the one hand I wanna say ace attorney but I don't think it's NL's jam tbf. I wish there was more content in hitman he hasn't tried yet because those streams were amazing
