i think they should do FFX-2 or maybe a kingdom hearts, KH2 would be funny as due to all the bizzare cutscenes and strange dialogue

@SamFo:

KH2 would be awesome, but I don't remember it being really long...
I could be wrong, though. I haven't played it since it came out.

They should do a Metal Gear Solid (Series) ER.

I don't think they would do Fallout 3 because most of the staff have already beaten it.

its called an endurance run because it takes a long, long time to complete. so that wouldn't happen. plus, a lot of people have played the fallout games already, and i think the purpose is to have fun playing a really long, quirky, under-appreciated game.

Kingdom hearts is quite long, but not ridiculous. A Final Fantasy would be a great one.

Which one?

Endurance Run would screech to a grinding halt in the Black Mountain Mines.

exactly when they first sat down to do an endurance run they called it that because they REALLY didn't like Perosna 4. That's what partially makes it hillarious; if they made 1 for Fallout 3, not only would it be very short, it would also be actually fun for the guys, so they wouldn't make as much fun of it. Perhaps they can start an endurance run of FF13 when it comes out?..

" No, it'd get boring, at least with this one there's different gameplay elements, I.e. fights are actually based on weaknesses and what not, the days of the weeks not spent in dungeons affects gameplay and outcome, Fallout is just an FPS at most. "

@Ineedaname: fallout 1 and 2 were definatly not FPS games

@Ineedaname:

wtf are you talking about... That's got to be the most misinformed thing you've ever said. You couldnt play Fallout 3 as an FPS even if you tried, and the first two are complex CRPGs with tons of choices/outcomes, even 3 is a pretty complex RPG.

I don't think they'd make a good endurance run though (You guys are all assuming they even want to do this again, this strikes me as a one off occurence tbh, it's quite a commitment, especially with people complaining about the lack of other content) as they are very very difficult and if the guys havn't played before they are likely to die repeatedly and get bored/frustrated. Whereas if they are vets, they will ace the game it will be kinda boring. Plus a whole bunch of people are so ignorant as to now even know the originals exist, let alone want to watch the guys play them, and I honestly wouldnt want to watch them play 3.

Tactics doesnt count. Nor does Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

people saying FF and KH and shit.   They don't seem to like those types of games.   That's why they enjoy P4 so much, it's something different from generic jap-fantasy, and stupid disney bullshit.   As for fallout.... meh...  somewhat fun to play not so much to watch.   Any quicklook for fallout dlc I haven't been able to watch all the way through.

i would say no cause endurance run should be used to show people new franchises or fictions and every1 knows fallout's world it would be kind of lazy

I think they should do something which isn't an RPG but I can see how that could be less interesting to watch.

@The_A_Drain said: I assumed the post was more relevant to Fallout 3, where I felt most decisions in that game were more surface stuff than anything. To elaborate then I don't think a point and click will work very well for an ER, .
@lemon360: See above

Not in this day and age. "
so its ok for them to do a Persona 4 endurance run in this day and age but nor Morrowind? 
"
Persona 4 just came out. PS2 games still stand up. Original Xbox games look like shit. "
It came out for PC too... "
Indeed. and you can also download mods for it too.  "
persona4 is stylized somewhat, morrowind is tough to look at in this day and age, esp over a period of time "
Yeah, I borrowed Morrowind last year after playing Oblivion.  My friend said that I might be put off by the graphics, but I just thought that they couldn't be that bad.  But holy shit, I couldn't play it for more than an hour.  The graphics looked abysmal and the animations were very stiff.  Watching somebody play it, even Jeff and Vinny, is not something I would want to do. "
I love Morrowind to death but I don't think Vinny/Jeff would enjoy it because its so unstructured. And most people would find it boring and/or wouldn't be able to look past the graphics.
As for Fallout: No way, Fallout 1/2 are terrible to watch and extremely dated. Fallout 3 would be boring because everyone's already played it. I honestly don't know what the next ER game should be. I agree that it should be fun, niche, and quirky. And it's hard to top Atlus games in that regard. I think Devil Summoner 2 looked great from the endurance look but there seemed to be a lot of hate for it. Then again, the same was true with P4 at the beginning of the ER.

How about something light hearted and fun, that wont take a million episodes to finish. Like Castle Crashers, or Dead Space, or a Wii game (actually, fuck that, someone would say something honest and the fanboys would rage loudly)

Boring.

I think they need to play a game they can crack jokes about and get 'into' in non-gameplay ways (like Chie and Funky Student and the Sunday sales show).

All I know about Fallout 1&2 was from the excellent Gametrailers retrospectives.  I got the impression that there was some pretty good dialogue and characters in that game and I suspect it would be something Jeff and Vinny haven't played before.  But I don't know enough about it to know how interesting the gameplay would be to watch (tbh the gameplay tends to be the less interesting part of the Persona 4 ER though there are moments and good running jokes).  Of the various games I've thought about it seems to have some things going for it to be suitable.

I agree that they need a game to crack jokes about - maybe an old school point and click adventure.  I've wondered about Grim Fandango in previous forum threads.  The more I think about it, it's going to be hard to get something as good as P4 to do an ER on and there'll certainly be people upset with whatever game gets chosen when comparing it back to the P4 ER.

" Fallout is a bad idea, I think Fallout is becoming I dunno some thing like "The cool kids play Fallout 3" sorta thing. Like they only know Fallout from Fallout 3 and they think it's really cool when they really know nothing about it. It sort of..bugs me.Morrowind also a bad idea. It's too big, the quests are hard to finish and follow.I think they should do some really obscure game, like I'm sure half the people who watched the endurence run knew NOTHING about Persona 4 or the rest of the series. "
Yeah, I wanna see them do an ER for a game thats as funny and ridiculous as P4, Fallout games and Morrowind aren't funny and ridiculous at all, and would be hard to commentate. Serious games=bad ER
