If you've played it then awesome :3 If not then ok [video=youtube;z7POLuUWb_Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7POLuUWb_Q&feature=plcp[/video] those eyes

The coolest thing about this game is that it actually is Zelda's Lullaby in reverse, the main theme. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDDAXsgoc5s[/media] WindWaker is actually very good, too

Skyward sword is one of the most disappointing zeldas ever made not including the CD-I shit.

You tend to blink your eyes one at a time. The review seemed fine, and you seemed good at it, without abusing your sex to get attention and to get views. I enjoyed it and I suggest continuing with it as long as stay on this route and don't sell out.

The puzzles were fun, the art style was creative, and it didn't feel too repetitive. The shadow realm or whatever it was was a bit frustrating, but at the same time it was really fun to navigate through. Not an Ocarina of Time, but it's not a bad game.

I even play it on my PC with my controller from time to time. I really wish I had never let my half sister, who's staying at my place this week for her vacation, borrow it so many years ago, and her low life dad pawn it I still kept Goldeneye, and OoT, though. That shit stays with me

Fuck that whore. Windwaker was the best.

I've enjoyed every Zelda game that has come out. While I've enjoyed some more than others, I've still enjoyed them and do not regret playing any of them. The only one I've been incredibly disappointed by, and treat it like shit in comparison, is "The Adventure of Link." Everything else was enjoyable in its own way, though some, like Skyward Sword, were disappointing, they weren't bad games.

your audio quality is really awful, and i dont really understand why you needed to give a "lol im not an attention whore gamrgrrl" disclaimer at the beginning and what do you mean by [QUOTE=Nearie;37207907]those eyes[/QUOTE]

The review was quite informative, and I can say that I definitely enjoyed it. At times, it did feel a little bit rough with some of the cuts, and the audio quality isn't the greatest, but it (the video) is certainly not bad by any stretch of the word. Just from watching over it though, you seem a little bit shy or nervous about speaking to the camera, and your voice can trail off or be a bit faltering at times. I don't think you should worry too much about either of these things, as they will likely resolve themselves as you create more videos. Hell, it takes a lot of courage to put something like this out on the internet, and (in my humble opinion,) I think this is a great start. I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future, you already seem to handle yourself quite capably! [SUB](So, in short, I would work on a smoother presentation and a cleaner sound, but content-wise I think you are excellent.)[/SUB] -edit- [SUB](eek, I don't mean to sound condescending! I hope this doesn't come off that way.)[/SUB]

I honestly didn't like Twilight Princess very much. The Wii controls were annoying and I hated playing as the wolf thing as well as the "dark" art direction. This one looks a lot better to me.

Not to be rude, but why are you even making this video? I mean, every other youtuber and their dog make these reviews for games. What separates you? Also, Skyward Sword has been out for a while, I don't see why a review has to come out now... Next time you make a video you should ask yourself what you are trying to offer to other people, why they should watch your video. Don't take this the wrong way, but you're not exactly unique in presentation or content.

I thought Skyward Sword was a great game, The controls were very fluid and natural compared to Twilight Princess. I liked how it deviated from the standard Ganon story as well.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;37208082]Skyward sword is one of the most disappointing zeldas ever made not including the CD-I shit.[/QUOTE] -SNIP- EDIT Oh shit, you said not including, nevermind misread Skyward Sword was fun, had a lot of things other Zelda games didn't but logically should have, like saving bombs you picked up. My favorite Zelda game will always be Wind Waker though also the music in that games was some of the best in any video game ever [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] [video=youtube;wSCIqb3AMTo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSCIqb3AMTo[/video] [video=youtube;s7fqllhtdHI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7fqllhtdHI[/video]

Even if it's not original, that doesn't mean she shouldn't do it. She probably just wants to do it for fun. Why can't she do something for fun?

With the eyes thing I think she's talking about the thumbnail.

How about we just ignore sex in general when it comes to these things and let general intelligence on the matter effect the outcome? There are dumb "gamer gurlz" out there just as there are "guy gamerz" that have only ever played CoD and consider themselves well versed gaming nerds. Really, it's not like it matters anyway, if the content of your video is good, no one will accuse you of anything.

[QUOTE=Zally13;37209123]I mean, yeah, that would be cool, except again, she's been accused of being a "gurrrrl gamer" before.[/QUOTE] Does it matter really? So what; the people who say that are going to continue to say that regardless of any "disclaimers" you give. The only way you prove you're not an idiot is through the content of your videos, regardless of your gender.

It's not much of a review, really, and it's pretty damn short. I think you could've gone in to more detail. Make more videos, get in to the 'groove' of it, you can only improve from here.

She doesn't [i]need[/i] to be original, nor does she [i]need[/i] to make stellar videos. However, if you post your work online you should be willing to accept criticism regarding the work. I'm not telling her to stop, only that she might benefit from creating or finding her own style.

We should try one thread in the Videos subsection that doesn't start an argument. Please guys? It would mean a lot to me <3

Took you like an entire minute to start talking about the game, and the intro felt like small talk. Feels like you just decided to do this 30 seconds before recording and didn't have your thoughts planned out as it seemed on the spot without a clear idea of what you were going to talk about. Jumpcuts can't hide that. I'll be completely honest, even though you say "Don't see me as gamer girl" or however you put it, you should aim for that. You would do much better on YT. Buy a Logitech HD webcam like a C910/920 and you'll be much better image and sound quality and you'll do fine for these in the future. The sound makes it feel so muffled. People on youtube eat that stuff up so much. The review felt like it was the summary of another review, not necessarily a bad thing, but it felt like it was the end of a review on its own. More of a Pros and Cons and that's all. Wish there was a bit more to it. On another note, I saw you play Minecraft. start making more MC videos with facecam. Post them on the MC forums and reddit and prepare to get LODSAMONE. No Lie. You have untapped advantage over us males in this kind of thing. Use it. Even if you're not good at the game.

Why are you perpetuating the concept that is cam-whoring for money? It's a good move, financially, but it's a shit move if you actually care about games and/or your dignity. The last thing we need is more poor, cleavage filled 'Let's Play's oversaturating Youtube. Let's Play reviews are so bad, the good ones are few and far inbetween. Would be nice if we could start having some more good ones like Jontron and less like Pewdiepie. She could make good videos and still get lodsamone for being a chick, but at least we'd get good videos out of it and not crummy playthroughs will small talk.

Simply adding her to the mix of anything she does basically is a bonus for traffic. If he did quality reviews and entertainment, but simply made it clear who she was it would benefit her a bunch. I'm not talking about her doing a 2 minute review in a tight shirt. More so, I would say don't always mention how much you try to break the gurL G4M3R stereotype, if people think that then they can. I don't want another PewDiePie either. And I don't want to make that happen. I'm merely bringing to light that simply actively being the face of the channel is a good start. She has an advantage simply being female and making video game content, doesn't mean she has to do anything more. And I don't expect her too. I just don't want her to waste that opportunity as she could do really really well if she combined game reviews with a online presence of someone like dodger from PressHeartToContinue. Just hopefully less jumpcuts and yelling. All she needs to do is be infront of the camera doing what she enjoys doing without having to do anything for the viewers specifically. Just like any other major vlogger.

It's a legitimate bonus to say the least, but honestly the "sit down and play a game while talking" way of doing Let's Plays is what bothers me more than anything about gender. I'd rather watch something entertaining and engaging that explains and reviews the game through comedy sketches and jokes rather than through commentary reviews as the player screams while yelling "penis" especially if it's an older game that's not a big deal anymore.

Was just saying that Video Games + Minecraft + Girl + simple adventure map or puzzle or something = *boom* Just get started doing something fun, better now than later. I wish I got into Youtube seriously much younger when I had the time. I'd probably be doing it full time by now.

[QUOTE=laylay;37209870]Everyone likes to see a pretty face, it's not cam-whoring just because you equate everything with something sexual.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure making a Let's Play is meant to focus on the game, not the player. If the person's face helps in that, fine, but saying "everyone likes to see a pretty face" is like saying that Lara Croft in the original Tomb Raiders isn't sexual because "everyone likes to see a pretty pair of breasts" in their games. You're naive if you think the only reason horny 12 year old boys watch female Let's Plays is for the "quality of the video" and that the fact that it's a girl has nothing to do with their overwhelming success.
