So who are your favorite YouTube gamers/let's players?

I personally like Markiplier a lot. He gets a bit shouty and overreacts on occasion but he's calmed down in recent years. He has fun and seems like a good guy on top of everything.

Gopher is another good one. Plays lots of RPGs. He actually role plays in them as well. Check out his modded skyrim playthroughs.

Radbrad is the last one I'll mention. Plays most of the latest releases. He really enjoys games and doesn't overreact to everything.

EDIT: I'd also like to take this opportunity to shout out Karak for his awesome reviews. Not a let's player but he's my go-to for game reviews.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I like all the soft spoken, quiet one's that aren't popular.

Sinatar and HeroOfLight come to mind.

There's aulddragon and MKFireAndIce. Kenshin1913.

I also like FloofyGaming ( O omgfloofy on Twitter) for her Falcom stuff and EmiruTheKnight.

Yeah the shoutyness of many of them gets old. It's like they are constantly acting for the back of the theater.

I enjoy any of them that start their video and just start playing, do not scream into the goddamn mic and who have a shred of charisma.

I do not enjoy any of them that start their video by telling me to "smash dat like button" and "ring dat bell" and check out their merch store. Or who scream into the goddamn mic and have charisma and are completely aware of it.

Radbrad is pretty calm. Mostly just plays the damn game and talks about it. He doesn't even show his face.

 

[Husky]

I don't really watch gaming YouTubers--except the Yogscast. Like, what am I, a middle schooler? But their present-day content's great. Addicted to watching them play Trouble in Terrorist Town.
Watch all the Jimquisitions, all the Zero Punctuations as well.

Besides that, it's channels like GVMERS, but most of them upload too infrequently for me to immediately recall their names. Strat-Edgy's one. Editing in TheGamingBritShow between these sentences. I prefer those long-form analytical videos over gameplay, generally. Except for the Yogscast. That's really the only gameplay channel I watch on YouTube.

But TotalBiscuit will always be king.

Hell yes to TotalBiscuit. Miss that guy.

Sinatar is cool that way. No shouting for the most part and he plays a lot of older games that I grew up with.

I stream retro games on twitch, mostly old PC stuff but occasionally dabble in some console games. This youtube channel is where I upload completed playthrou...

OH yeah and that is another thing I will not watch. 1/4 of my screen is some dudes damned mug while he plays a game. Everyone looks like an asswipe with their facial expressions while playing games. Everyone. Lol.

Any time a video is uploaded by any of these people, I get very excited. I highly recommend trying them out if you like gaming content and don't like loud, yelling personalities.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Only one I used to watch was GeneralMinus trolling. But he and many of his buddies some reason disappeared 3-4 years ago. Their trolling team killing vids in Battlefield, Call of Duty, Forza, FIFA etc.... were THE best gaming vids I've seen.

He shut down his channel too. Only a sporadic number of videos remain from people re-uploading them.

Mark is about the only one I watch on the regular who shows his face. Most others I watch don't. I agree most look stupid while playing games. I'm sure I do lol

 

[Handel]

The Lorerunner is by far my favorite, he does long ruminations of games, movies and shows, with a depth of knowledge beyond the vast majority of gaming youtubers, vastly more mature too. Also streams very regularly on Twitch, uploaded to his second YouTube channel.

Some of my favorites :

My thanks man. Glad you like the videos!

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I also like women Youtubers. No not for the jigglies or anything like that but for similar reasons I like soft spoken LPers - because they're less annoying than a lot of guy LPers lol. And it's sometimes more pleasant to listen to.

RatBirdChampion is one I used to watch for her Neverwinter Nights LPs.

Erika Szabo and Erin Plays. The latter does retro games I also grew up with.

Also of course FloofyGaming. She's the Falcom Goddess.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

A few gaming channels turned up on my youtube algorithm lately, filthyrobot for Civ V (turns out i've been playing the game wrong for 800 hours or so), and jimmy broadbent for sim racing. Fun channels.

 

[Lionel Richie]

There are a lot of stuff I enjoy, but I feel like implantgames is one of the most underrated ones. Really great stuff.

NONE


I like Girlfriend Reviews and Pushing Up Roses, usually I don't watch gamers' videos though. Also, I don't like the whole influencer/douchebag youtube culture. But those two are pretty cool.

 

[Elektro Demon]

I don't watch let's plays. I like analytical reviews and opinion videos.
Gmanlives, Civvie11, Nitro Rad, Gaming historian, LGR, ACG, to name a few.

 

[M1chl]

It was Armake21/NicotineAlien, but he is no longer active. Some classic from him:

 

[Avion4017]

I miss Kay Plays. Her Dark Souls playthrough reinvigorated my interest in the series and is the best let's play I've ever seen.

 

[billyboy889]

Mine favorite is http://0rz.tw/t6M0T

[CitizenX3639]

Usually only interested in indie games for reference and these guys provide enough info and entertainment im happy to check them out often.

Splattercatgaming- The Nerd castle is perfect
Yippee Ky Ya Mr Falcon- All time fav. can sometimes go way down some indies that are way more enjoyable to watch than i would ever have any desire to play
Wonderbots- he should rename himself to the grinder
ChristopherOdd/ aka Mrodd for some high level BS - anything he shows never has happened EVER to me in any playthough of Xcom- EVER
Cohhcarnage
Mal- Not much content latley but would play thru any tatctical/strategy game on hardest difficulty. And it was just a guy who loved to play, really small channel, but respected his enthusiasm and he just was having fun, thats all life is about.


As for commentary/news/previews you can never be disappointed with the following:

GGmanlives
ACG
LazyPeon- Used to be comedy gold, but understandable has grown up and now just enjoying life.
Vulkan- mostly focuses on ARPGs but is pretty good and informative since there are so many
CultofMush
Jackfrags

I don’t know if he qualifies but Maximilian Dood is great.
A good , skilled fighting game player.
He is fun and have great taste in fighting games.

 

[Phase]

Technically he's a streamer, but Lobosjr posts his streams on youtube and since I usually just watch late at night before sleeping it's perfect. I find he plays games similarly to the way I play, and his humor matches mine so it's enjoyable.
