What should Colorful Arty play?

One other option now that it's out: You could try Lemmings Plus V. You'd definitely be the first to do a video play of it, and it's also guaranteed solvable on the experimental version (which means you get those cool features like shadow bridges).

I did contemplate that, but I have already started recording LPI and LPV looks a bit too difficult for me at the current moment.

I've been following these as they come out (or as I notice them, which is generally within 24 hours or so of them coming out) and I'm quite impressed with how quick you've gotten through it. You've already gotten as far in three videos as RTW got in his entire playthrough.

With that being said...

Spoilers about nature of next level; no solution spoilers

I really don't know whether it's just coincidence that RTW stopped there, or if it's because the next level stumped him. You described Medi 8 as LPI's "I Have A Cunning Plan", I would say Medi 16 fits that description much more than Medi 8 does.

It's definitely LPI's most significant case of "this level is way too hard for its position".

I think it is better to play through the series in order anyway, if anyone gets to LPV it will be me eventually. I'm going to prioritise getting through LPO and LPIV from here on just to get to LPV.

Once I finish Deceit and Sublems, I will not start any new projects after those and focus on Lemmings Plus and Lix. The only exception to this is as soon as Lemmingbytes comes out, I promised Wafflem I would play his pack as soon as he releases it so everything else may go on hold then.

Due to wanting to get to LPV as quickly as possible as well, I am going to skip other LP packs for now and just do LPO and LPIV before attempting LPV.

So, I just thought I'd get people's opinions, I'm already thinking about my next lemmings let's play (which most likely will not be until February 2017) and I want more suggestions. Right now the two I'm tossing around are Revenge of the Lemmings and Lemmings: Reunion. I guess I should ask:

1) Will Revenge of the Lemmings V3.0 be released in time?
2) How hard is Lemmings: Reunion? If it's significantly harder than PimoLems, then I doubt I'll be able to solve it. Then again, I've had a big surge in self-confidence since I beat LPI and the stream levels quickly, so maybe I am good enough.

Please give me your thoughts.

I've been considering working on Revenge again soon, so it will probably be finished by Feb. (in one form or another, more on that later...)

If you struggle with Lemmings Reunion (or any pack for that matter) you could always get hints and help from Icho or the people who know how to solve it.

When I was trying to solve Deceit Mayhem 21, with your guy's help that was quite fun

Flopsy · November 04, 2016, 08:34:56 AM

Lemmings Reunion is definitely a hard pack. I've been wanting to play that pack since I started my Neo Lemmix let's plays and I ask in the IRC if they think that's a good idea.
I think since beating Lemmings Plus III, some have said I'm ready for it but I'm not so sure now.

I'd definitely recommend Revenge if it's ready although I might be playing it too if SEB Lems is still not released by February. It has a lot of levels which are from many years ago. It's like a best of pack from many different authors

Flopsy: You are definitely 100% ready for Reunion after beating so many packs! Compared to nowdays I would even say it's not that hard for the most part. As I look back I am even asking myself what I was thinking when creating some of the levels

Arty: Give it a try! I am sure that you can beat most of the game without bigger problems. If you get stucked really hard at some point you could ask for a hint or simply skip the level and try it again at a later point. Remember that you already beat rank 5 level 16 + rank 5 level 2 in PimoLems, so have no fear

Colorful Arty · November 04, 2016, 03:02:47 PM

Castle Rush was in the Nightmare rating? That level wasn't that bad.

Crane · November 04, 2016, 08:14:54 PM

Have you played Revenge of the Lemmings yet, I dare ask?

Colorful Arty · November 04, 2016, 08:18:45 PM

I have not

wait what? Are two of Pieuw's levels repeated or tributed in Icho's pack or something? I don't understand.

I rounded up the "Special" rating with the castle levels from 3 to 5. I simply included both "Nightmare!" castle levels from Reunion.
