Best "Let's Play" people?

Big fan of the Endurance Run, my favorite feature on the sitem and I love the Fear Gauntlet aswell and I was wondering who does the best "Let's Play videos on youtube, I'd prefer it if it was 2 players commenting on the game.
 
I know it wont be nearly as good as the ER but I'd like something to have in the background while I do other stuff or watch something when I'm bored and watching people play games works suprisingly well

Kikoskia is the only one I like. The rest are far too talkative and not at all funny.

DeceasedCrab is delightfully entertaining.

I can't stand YouTube LPers. If you want some hilarious commentary, check out the Sonic 2006 LP by Pokecapn, KungFuJesus and Medibot. Slowbeef is fairly excellent too.

I wish someone would play Persona 3 and recorded it.

Only ones I can stand are the ER's on this site, and the Yogcast some times.

Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus, as well as the Freelance Astronauts crew is what I usually watch. Kung-fu Jesus and his friends have some good ones (Like their God Hand LP)

Slowbeef and Diabetus above all.

Eh, not a fan of that. I'd rather go with the Captain Novolin Let's Play. You know the one. Also a fan of The Dark Id, and I wish more people knew what a screenshot LP is.

Oh yes yes yes. He's fantastic. It's a shame I get distracted when I read them because well.. I'm reading them and it's not like reading a book.

Thirding this; TDI can be trusted to put up quality content. Though I lost interest of his Xenogears LP pretty quickly.

DeseasedCrab and Protonjon are some of the best on youtube, Synthorange and Chewbot have some amazing photo letsplays.

If you want to find some really good LPs, the Something Awful Let's Play Archive is a good place to start. Some of my favorites:

• Sonic 2006 by Pokecapn and friends
• 50 Cent: Blood on the Sandby Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus
• Dead to Rights and Dead to Rights: Retribution by Slowbeef and Diabetus
• Mercenaries 2 by helloitsdan and lithuanian dad
• New Super Mario Bros Wii by the Freelance Astronauts

Chip & Ironicus, the Freelance Astronauts, Slowbeef/Diabetus. 
 
I would say C&I's LPs are the highest quality out there, Chip really gets thorough as hell.

I like Kikoskia on his LPs, very thorough and timely editing made his Daikatana episodes pretty enjoyable watch. I'd suggest give Gameinformer's 'Replay' section a look. The editors there play some "classics" (wildly interpreted as to what they uphold as redeeming qualities)  with often funny commentary bordering on insults and sometimes pick a game they are particularly fond of (e.g. Super Mario Bros 3)  to do a 'super replay' from start to finish. 

The Freelance Astronaut's New Super Mario Bros Wii playthrough was a trip just because of how absurdly chaotic the four player co-op was. I would even hesitate to call it co-op.

I'm sort of hoping that the next ER is a four-player run of the similar-sounding Kirby game.

Also, it should be noted that the community has made some quality Let's Plays. I reccommend Hamst3r's Amnesia Let's Play and Obince's Persona 3 Endurance Run.

I like TobyGames on Youtube. Especially, the Terraria one. You can't take it seriously though.

I occasionally watch Hamst3r if he does anything, but I don't watch anyone else much now.  
I used to watch Bashur, but he just started doing a bunch of Minecraft stuff and wouldn't finish anything, just got about 10 episodes in then moved on to something else. Maybe he finally finished something non-minecraft related, I wouldn't know, he was pretty funny though, I would recommend him if he finally got his shit together.

I've been watching alot of "Let's Play" stuff for a while now but somehow nobody so far is able to match our own Hamst3r. I would recommend going through his list of LPs he's done for starters. After that I would continue on to Dan's Gaming and Gix

Slowbeef and Diabetus above all.

Vash12349 http://www.youtube.com/user/vash12349

Dude is funny.

I sort of enjoy Xcalizorz videos, though he's mostly a multiplayer commentary person.  He's done some Fallout New Vegas, ME2 and other stuff that was entertaining.

OK I've got to say UberHaxorNova is the best. He's also doing both Resistance 3, and Dead Island coop right now.

It may just be me but i enjoy watchin this guy play stuff  

I recommend Giant Bomb's very own Hamst3r. He cuts out boring bits like when he's lost, looting, retrying something for the billionth time. His RE5 co-op videos are great if you're looking for a two man let's play. There are very few LP's I watch where the person is funny/interesting enough that I'd be willing to sit through even the most boring segments of a game. The Sonic 2006 Let's Play for example is something I watched to the end without skipping anything because you'd have to endure the monotony with them to truly understand their triumphant victory over the game. Endurance Run is another one of course.

And one time I watched a Japanese Let's Play of someone playing the first Dead Space since I think it never officially released there. It was fun hearing their reactions.

Also SSoHPKC does good Mario ROM Hack videos, and has over 5,000 uploads last time I checked.

SSoHPKC always has about 3 lets plays going at all times and generally all the current games. Right now he is doing Dead Island,Warhammer and Far Cry Gears of War 2. He dose a lot of stuff knid of funny to.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Research Indicate's Trespasser LP. Probably the best LP on voice alone.

Gonna echo some of what people in this thread have said, but my favorite LPs:
 
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 by Pokcapn and "The Posse"  
Five men descend in to the madness that was one of the worst games of 2006, if not one of the worst games of this entire generation of gaming consoles. Watch as they literally play through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. As hilarious as it is tragic.

- Jurassic Park: Trepsasser by ResearchIndicates
Quite possibly the most professional LP you'll ever watch, ResearchIndicates will make you appreciate one of the biggest, most ambitious rotten eggs the gaming industry has ever produced. Informative, insightful, and thorough, this LP is one of the high water marks every LP creator strives towards.
 
- 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand by ChipCheezum and General Ironicus
While not quite as profound as Sonic or Trespasser, this is just an example of a good, well-produced LP by people who have good chemistry together and are genuinely funny. It helps that they're also playing a genuinely absurd game like Blood on the Sand, which is ripe with comedy-making possibilities.
 
- Dead Rising by OatmealRaisin
Perfecting Dead Rising is not an easy task. It's the sort of game that, without intense planning and incredible skill, can go really wrong, really quickly. This man not only saves every survivor, but shows every inch of the Willamette mall off with incredible detail, from both the level cap and the perspective of a newbie. 
 
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii by Maxwell Adams and The Freelance Astronauts
Did you like GiantBomb's quicklook of NSMB Wii, and all of the chaos of four player simultaneous co-op? Imagine watching somebody do the entire game like that. Now, mix in copious amounts of alcohol, a tendency to screw over your friends, and lots of shouting. That's basically what this is, and it's a riot from start to finish.
 
- Daikatana by Proteus and Suspicious
Unlike Trespasser this won't enlighten you about an ambitious PC shooter with a troubled development history. Daikatana is bad, and much like with Sonic, a lot of the enjoyment here comes from witnessing just how bad the game really is. Frequent crashes, an awful storyline, and general stupidity is about - and with co-op, to boot!
 
- Super Metroid @ 143% Speed by BrickRoad
A rare example of a good LP not on SomethingAwful, SM@143% is both similar and very different to Trespasser. Where as Trespasser was calm, concise, and easily understood, BrickRoad talks about Super Metroid with the speed and verve of a used car salesman, belting off nerdy factoids about intricate game functions like they are common knowledge. And it's amazing!
 
- Seaman by Maxwell Adams and the Freelance Astronauts 
Everybody needs to experience the weirdest, most intricate virtual pet simulator from Sega at least once. It really has to be seen to be believed. Since actually playing the game these days is difficult if not borderline impossible, you'll have to settle for Maxwell's LP. Which is good, because Maxwell and crew do just about everything you'd expect. 
 
- Crysis: Ironman by The Nanosuit Ninja
Another non-Something-Awful LP, Crysis Ironman is a sight to behold, as a cocky, hyperactive irish man takes us on a tour through the first Crysis and why it's so amazing. But not just any tour: not only is he playing it on the hardest difficulty, but it's modded to be even harder beyond that. What follows is an LP that shows us why he earned the name "Nanosuit Ninja", as he silently and skillfully kills everyone and never dies.
 
- Mario Party 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... by Pokecapn and "The Posse"
Currently running as I type this, Pokecapn and crew play one board from each Mario Party game in sequence, with copious amounts of alcohol to lubricate things. And did I mention? They're playing their own custom variant called "Wario Party", where minigames completely lack instructions and everything is crazy and out of control. Who will come out on top at the end of it all? Watch and see!

NintendoCapriSun

Man, I fucking love that guy. I love watching his videos.

Also, anyone that says there is a better RPG lets player then HCBaily is flat out lying.

This Super Mario 64 Challenge LP is one of the best things on YouTube:

Two Japanese players invent a new game inside of Mario 64 - activate a 1up mushroom from a tree then attempt to gather all 8 red coins on a level and collect the star without letting the 1up mushroom reach you. Since the mushroom chases you very fast and can fly anywhere, this is extremely difficult.

Hilarious.

the best place to find good Let's Plays (video or otherwise) is the Let's Play archive, which is a bunch of let's plays from the Something Awful forums.

Hamst3r has provided us with some of the best video LPs in my opinion. Super Meat Boy, Amnesia and Octodad being top stuff.

But best LP over all is in my opinion The Dark Id's LP of Drakengard(!), which is only screenshots/text though, so that may not count here. Several of his LPs are available in the lparchive.

99% of LPers suck. It's fairly simple to setup so everyone tries to do it and lets face it... not everyone is anyone good at being interesting. It really is something you either have or don't.

A lot of good LPers mentioned already but I do feel inclined to mention Pushinguproses is really good, Paw Dugan can be alright, and when he actually does it (these days he randomly seems to do them on his live stream) The Spoony one. His LP of Phantasmagoria 2 is really funny.

Just my thoughts on it.

Pawdugan does some good Let's Plays of adventure games

Pushinguproses does too and also does Let's Play "Shorties" which are pretty good as well

Plus they're both funny which I think makes the best Let's Plays

Just Hamst3r. Funny and great commentary!

Tipping40's are pretty funny if you like laid back group commentary. I think their Tales of Symphonia LP is their funniest especially since they play it 4 player, but I'd start with FFX since it was their first.

Freelance Astronauts - Also group commentary. My personal favorite is the Master Quest LP, but a lot of the stuff in there is good, like the terrible Zelda CDI games, Vice City, and a pretty hilarious New Super Mario Bros. Wii run.

Animal Crossing by Chewbot - A dark narrative depicting the true, malicious intentions of Tom Nook and the horrors of "Camp". This is a must read.

Dwarf Fortress, Boatmurdered - A succession game of Dwarf Fortress played by a bunch of different people with dwarves named for SA forum members. Even if you don't understand Dwarf Fortress (I didn't) it really shows how weird and hilarious the game can be. It takes a bit of patience since it's a lot of reading and you have to use your imagination for a lot of the screenshots but it's really worth it.

That's all I got for now. Also tossing in my recommendations for already mentioned LPers like Slowbeef/Diabetus and Pokecapn.

spoonys let's play of swat 4 is pretty good can be found here

you're in my way, sir...

Hamst3r does some neat stuff.

Also, Spoony did a great Phantasmagoria 2 (or was it 3?) let's play.

I'm a fan of CraigAA, a user on this site. He is doing a Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory LP right now but he did a RE2 one a little while back that was very entertaining to watch.

From YT, I personally really enjoy:
