Wohoo, by some odd matter of circumstances not a single one of the games you've been covering the last few months have been of any interest to me. Hoping for some good nominees and a good winner do I can go back to watching my daily doze of Keith.

@community: i cant find the g.drive link to the excel sheet. Is "Desktop Dungeons" on Keiths lets'try or patreon list? thanks guys

I have a copy of Desktop Dungeons, so it is available for Let's Try requests. There is no "patreon list." The Patreon timeslot game can be anything that I can reasonably record.

1/4 Hi Keith, just wanted to give you a heads up since Baldur's Gate has been a close finalist the past few times, I *strongly* urge you to play the original 1997 version (+ expansion and patches) and *NOT* to play the remade "enhanced" edition. The problem is that the game's original source code was lost in a flooding, so they actually had to "remake" the game in the BGII engine. But even aside from bugs, the game simply doesn't fit into the new ruleset and mechanics, making the game broken and unbalanced.

2/4 And on top of that, they replaced the great original 90s cinematics with terrible, terrible comicbook-style ones. :-( Here are the differences in introduction movies:

PS: When you go to purchase the games on GOG or other storefronts, it appears that only the "enhanced" editions are available. On GOG, at least, the originals are included with the "enhanced" editions.

From Gamebanshee review: "Ultimately, and unfortunately, this new "enhanced" version of Baldur's Gate is, for the most part, anything but." https://www.gamebanshee.com/reviews/110209-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-review.html

Okay I didn't see a post about the actual voting so I'll write it here. If by any chance Hitman (2016) were to win (and it should, amazing game) , I really wonder how you would attack it. One of the things that make the game so amazing is the replayability, all the different cool ways you can finish a level off. It's core design is based on replaying the levels. I have started on and given up other let's plays of Hitman because they play through each mission exactly once and move on, which makes for a pretty boring watching experience. I can understand as a streamer it would be nice to get it over with and done, but it would be sad to miss out on a great experience in the process. I would suggest that at a minimum one should complete all mission stories, but best would be to reach Mastery (lvl 20) on each mission. Anyway, pretty hypothetical as it might not even win. Edit: In fact, if you played it with a friend and kept handing over the controls between each try the experience might work a lot better for let's plays.
