List of early access streams and Let's Plays

Omigod, I just hate it when they forget to pop goody huts! Both Filthy Robot and Marzobir have done that — arghh! :wallbash:
 
I'm actually really enjoying the UnstableVoltage LP...way more than FilthyRobot's live stream. UnstableVoltage has a pleasant voice and doesn't talk too quickly, and he isn't spending ridiculous amounts of time explaining everything in excruciating detail.
 
No new youtuber to add, but Filthy has new Norway game on. And same as with Yogscast, these Norway games on islands seem great fun to play. I also love his starting position. There seem to be almost no mountains on these islands, which provides completely different play style than on Pangea. Very interesting imo.

i wish he would notice that it is possible to get goody huts with longboats. He stands next to them multiple times but doesn't see the icon appearing because he's playing to fast...
First time I see someone paying for changing policy cards. 35 gold, not too bad. I expect it to get more expensive every time you do it though.

It's a big problem with all the let's players. They don't take time to stop and think, so they loose a lot of opportunities.
 
Well, he did notice in future episodes. But, more than playing too fast I think it's just natural individual learning process. The man has +5k hours on Civ5 but can't recognize (neither do I) good city locations or goody huts and probably many other things yet. It's kind of unique to watch probably one of the best future players out there learning the game from scratch.
 
Ugh, are there some... different let's plays? All I checked out so far are a pain to watch. All of them play and comment with the notion that their viewers are new to civ VI and know next to nothing about it. They themselves seem to learn way too slow (maybe for show i.e. "let's learn slowly together"). It's tiresome watching them figure out movement rules (many BTW seem to never quite learn them completely) or explain them to viewers. Same with eurekas and other features / mechanics, which Firaxis talked about already over and over and over again over the course of several months. Nevermind how often they are actually wrong / clueless. Oh, the paaaain! And they all play way too slow.

What I want to see is:

1. Play normally / fast (without stopping to explain stuff that people on these forums at least, know already and know it better than them)
2. Try to get to space i.e. explore the tech tree
3. Try ICS. I'm yet to see someone to actually try spamming as many cities as possible. Somehow it just doesn't happen. And yet in every game I saw that NOT happening, I saw no reason for it NOT to happen. Just do it already!
4. Someone to play in strategic view. No need for a whole game, just a few turns here and there to see it in action.


I'm not really ranting here, exclamation marks are just for dramatic effect :D
 
I've been enjoying ChristopherOdd's Let's Play. He's never played a Civ game before, so it's all new to him, and he isn't stuck in Civ5 habits, and doesn't think he knows more than he does. He's investigating all the mechanics from scratch. That could turn into a recipe for annoyance, but he picks things up pretty quickly so it's not like it's painful to watch.
 
Well the new forums apparently don't allow any sort of tables, so I had to redo the entire OP. I'll add new updates to it later as I'm a bit frustrated.

EDIT: updated now...added new donald23 England LP and FilthyRobot Kongo and Spain LPs.
