A ground rule, this is a list of games where a let's play or similar video was the deciding point on whether or not you got the game. Meaning before those videos you either had no interest in the game or didn't even know it existed. Reason for this exception is then I think it would fall under the "try before you buy" category and I am more curious about it as a marketing tool.
Some I bought purely thanks to Lets Plays
Little Inferno
Bro Force
Minecraft
Saint's Row 3
|
Dragon Age (Origins and Awakenings)
Mass Effect
Final Story
Eternal Darkness (this is older, and I'm unsure if this counts: it's actually due to a "live" Let's Play that I watched a friend do, instead of one of my own.)
That's the top of my head.
EDIT: also, I don't think this counts, as I haven't actually put money down on it, yet, but I'm looking to buy the Baldr's Gate series exclusively due to Let's Plays of the thing. I would never have attempted such if it weren't for that. I'm kind of waiting to run into a good deal when I have funds for Planescape: Torment as well, though I've heard that doesn't run on modern boxes, and I'm about as adroit at making such things work as a Monkey is at writing Shakespeare (so give me a few million Mulligans and I'll get there in the end).
