Let's Play - Commander Keen 4 - Part 17

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtxwdoI7Jig

Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9A6D46294D459BD5

This is my 22nd Let's Play video. Today, I'm playing Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle using DOSBox. This is part 17 of a 17-part LP.

Total Playtime: 03:20:57

Audio noise cleaned up using Audacity.

This LP is long, full of unedited deaths, and mostly consists of me just getting pissed off. You've been warned.

It started out pretty good, but it really went downhill about 4 parts into it. If you watch all of the secret pyramid level, you'll see why. After that, I was pretty much too frustrated to care anymore, and it should be apparent in the commentary (or lack of commentary). Sorry guys, I thought it would turn out better. That's just a downside to playing games blind; you don't know how it's going to turn out. I wasted hours of my life on this thing, though, so I'm still uploading it. Enjoy what you can from it.

Do you think you might play 6 soon? I really enjoyed this one, I'm about to watch your LP of 5 soon.

[TheRealZ3ro]

@ILoveJenni47 It probably won't be for a while, but I would like to play both 3.5 and 6 at some point (I don't plan on 1, 2, or 3 though). I already have some other games and requests lined up right now. But yes, I will most likely play it eventually.

Just be aware that my LP of 5 was one of my earliest LPs and I was still pretty rusty at it, lol. But if you can handle me failing miserably in this one, you can expect much of the same in 5. XD

Are you gonna do Aliens ate my babaysitter ?

[TheRealZ3ro]

@PhantomJerad I was thinking about it. So it's possible.

Some advice for the next Commander Keen. RtFM =)

[TheRealZ3ro]

@jpop4lf I did RtFM. I read everything except what the different enemies do because it's more fun (and more frustrating, but fuck you) that way. I should make YOU play Keen 6. Someone else besides me needs to die.

[ILoveJenni47]

@TheRealZ3ro Don't worry, that's one of the joys of blind LPs, the reactions are all real, I feel it adds to the fun! I've already started watching it, and it's great!

@ArchEvil666 What?! You laugh at my misery?! This is treason! Off with his head! >=D

If I play 6 (I'm pretty sure I will at some point), I'm going to take a more methodical approach to it. I'll figure out the enemies and keep reminding myself to use that damn pogo stick. I'll try to take what I've learned from 4 and 5 and do a better job with 6...... hopefully.

[TheRealZ3ro]

@ArchEvil666 That's the one with the flower power or whatever, right? I might give it a try.

Also, don't forget, there's also Keen Dreams, which was released after 3 but before 4. The graphics are similar to 4 but the gameplay is slightly different. But, at the end of the game there's a boss fight! None of the other newer Commander Keen games really had those, so that could be interesting for you as well =)
