[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6SsfXk3plk[/media] I'm proud of this so i'm posting it here to see what you think. Critique and the like is appreciated. I'm not the best LPer and i've only just recently started but I think i've come far enough in the past few months.
You sound like your avatar. [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] But seriously, the LP of this game has been done to death.
Nothing to be proud of
You would be a good LPer if you sounded more excited and chose another game sorry I sounded mean :3
[QUOTE=rrunyan;36505736] But seriously, the LP of this game has been done to death.[/QUOTE] I wasnt going for originality. It's just something my friends wanted and something fun and challenging. My other ongoing project is more original because few LPs of it even exist.
The lets play is done to death as it is. Fuck lets play's, i've never seen ANY funny content in ONE of them. Although -Myst is tolerable, unlike 98% of other lets plays
Your voice is so boring. That and combined with the fact that half the time is spent rewinding, you should probably stay away from these kind of LPs.

But just saying "you shouldnt do this" doesnt help me get any better. With this difficulty you cant be surprised if I dont get everything the first few tries.
[QUOTE=~Myst;36506433]That isn't really good criticism. Just saying "you shouldnt do this" doesnt help me get any better. With this difficulty you cant be surprised if I dont get everything the first few tries. Also arent you that guy that autorates all my posts dumb? Just wondering.[/QUOTE] I don't believe I have rated you dumb before. But I will give you a friendly, if that makes you feel better.

Calm down. Also if you can't see that as good criticism. Stop.
I apologize if I sounded mean. I guess just hearing that made me a little upset. I get that I need to take that as criticism but it just could have been worded in a more positive way.
[QUOTE=~Myst;36507676] it just could have been worded in a more positive way.[/QUOTE] Not really, your voice is very dull and monotone and you show no emotion besides "mild frustration". What he's saying is correct, your voice is boring. You messing up repeatedly isn't funny when you're not showing any real reaction to it, and the rewinds don't help. If you're going to do Lets Plays you need something to distinguish yourself, or at least make it entertaining. It really feels like you just played the game, recorded it, and then put it up for everyone to watch. That's not how good Let's Plays are done, as most of the good ones have lots of post editing and often use a script (usually added in post) to make them more entertaining. Also work on your attitude, taking offense to every nitpick is unbecoming, especially if it's actually constructive instead of "lol u faggot go kill yourself".
~Myst, please.. I want to help you. Im serious here, theirs a good reason why lets plays, such as your Mario ones are so... hated. Its becasue their shit, to put it bluntly. Lack of skill, lack of editing, dull voiced, and its just someone playing through a game, its lazy, done to death, and SAVESTATE done to death. Not to say you should stop doing them, its obisly a passion you have for making them and no matter how little veiws you get but it could be better, again i want to help you. Check out Something Awful on how to do a decent lets play, read a few; [url]http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=191[/url] See how you could improve, all that information about that game, it should be something en-lighting for the viewer, not mindless game play. I'd also give their rules over - some might not be relevante but heck, it points you in the right direction; [url]http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2987798[/url] Again, you have potential ~Myst, just don't follow path of Protonjon or BillyMC or whoever.

There's a reason why I did this as my 25 sub special. I just did it because I wanted my friends who already like my videos to get to see what Kaizo is like. My next video wont be Kaizo at all (it'll be a review of a demo hack someone sent me, i've already recorded some of it and kept the monotone thing in mind). I didnt just choose this as a full playthrough type thing, but rather as a one time "for fun and see what happens" kind of thing. My steam friends really like it, so that's what's at least somewhat important to me. I've been doing SMWCP for several months now, and when I finish it I'm going to LP a half life mod instead of a ROMhack. Looking back on this video, I can actually agree that I do monotone in places. As a matter of fact my SMWCP videos have quite a bit more emotion in them. I should have posted one of those instead of this. I'm not offended and i'm not mad in any way (the dumb ratings are a bit annoying though). I'm just trying to say that i'm not doing a full playthough of Kaizo and that it was a Special, as it says in the title, and it shouldnt completely represent my abilities.

Wasn't too bad for someone who just started out, it honestly wasn't as bad as people are making out, facepunch has an obsession with being assholes. Keep trying, reddit is good for views if you have an account there and if you have an SA account they have a proper section for this stuff and a "sandbox" thread where they give honest feedback and help you with recording issues ect. [editline]27th June 2012[/editline] Really facepunch isn't a good place to post LPs because unless you are critikal and talk about tits you'll get stupid unhelpful shit like this [QUOTE=rrunyan;36505736]You sound like your avatar.

It means a lot, really.
Can you post a video of this instead? [QUOTE]"A couple hours later i woked up, and she was still asleep. I turned her over on to her stomach, and decided to finger her asshole alittle." - ~Myst in 2011[/QUOTE]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdtehRUfzWcp[/media] This is better.
The problem is that you are using an overplayed game as a way to attract viewer. For the current time being people will most likely watch if you play a game that triggers interest by itself. You will then gain solid subscriber if you keep them interested to see more. The most effective way is to, obviously, be a good commentator. However you lack a proper distinctive personality and content. Your voice is rather dull and uninteresting due to the fact that you are extremely passive. What you are saying is something I'd probably hear in many other playtrough. Therefor, you have nothing that would convince me to watch YOU instead pretty much anyone else. I'm not saying that you need to be extremely expressive all the time and overreact about anything. Though some people use this as a tool to become entertaining. Critical and Dopefish are two good example in which they use their emotion, voice and overall personality to make their video worth watching. It's hard to deliver quality content in a LP, considering you'd be talking to a very long amount of time trough multiple parts. If you thing you'd be able to make good video thanks to the information you deliver, then first impressions, reviews or even casting would be something to look for. LP is easy to make sure, but won't lead you anywhere.
[QUOTE=~Myst;36509228]I've never met this guy.[/QUOTE] Stop bullshitting us, we know what you did. Now its time to pay up.
sorry bro, but you actually have to be funny to do let's plays.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36519843]Stop bullshitting us, we know what you did. Now its time to pay up.[/QUOTE] Pay up with what exactly.
I never understood why lp'ers seem to think these Rom hacks are a good idea for a video. Who wants to watch the player stuck at the same part of the level like you were for several minutes?
