I was looking through past LPs and stumbled upon Crow's LP of Panzer Dragoon: Remake. In it he mentioned a remake of the sequel game, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, was coming out in 2021. Did a remake ever come out?

Did a remake ever come out? No, not yet. It was supposed to be out in 2021, but has now been bumped up to "????" in terms of release date. The team behind PDR barely got it working properly when it shipped and had to patch a million holes in it after the fact, so I'm not surprised a more complex game like Zwei is giving them even more trouble. If it ever releases I might LP it, but that's a huge IF right now on both fronts. Thanks for watching the LP though!

Hey just a heads up, if say you did an LP of a game and it would implode cause some streamer streamed the game, then people youtube it and find you, just do yourself a favor and loving delete every one of those videos. As soon as the views start coming in just loving smack that delete button and be sure to ring the "Yes, delete forever" prompt. Just loving do it, you wont get enough views to go viral and make money off it but you will get people hounding you to do more of that one game nearly half a decade after the fact as if you do have that obligation.

It doesn't really get bad until people start asking you for technical support for game bugs, instructions for how to do things that are tutorialized in the game and also described in the manual, and probably worst of all, asking you to provide walkthroughs of the things you do in the videos they're watching. Most questions about the videos can be answered by watching the videos. And they come in many languages. I think Google Translate has a file on how many languages I've asked it to translate "Press the button" into. Oh, and if there's a woman in any of the videos, there will be comments with timestamps to when the camera zooms in on parts of them. Requests for me to LP other games in the series trailed off ages ago by comparison. Which is kind of funny, because I do plan to do that. Eventually.

I'm so glad I got spared of all that. I think the weirdest comment I got was for one of the Chaos Theory videos on Viddler that I made a bunch of communist jokes that made someone really salty. But my old LP videos, at least the HAWX ones still get pretty solid views. Even if they're admittedly really bad by my (slightly increased) standards of today.

I finally got around to deploying my setup to start something that I rather enjoy in the form of basically live streaming and recording my gaming sessions as Let's Plays and was wondering if anyone might be able to lend some helpful information. I currently have two started up at the moment. I relocated from streaming on Twitch primarily because there isn't any one game that I could play for thousands of hours to build an audience to begin with, I have an extremely inconsistent schedule and I change games quite often and usually have several things going at the same time to keep everything fresh and keep myself from burning out. I also put some effort into quality and the low rear end upload bitrate for Twitch made my stream look like garbage. Being able to archive and playlist my livestreams with the higher default upload bitrate was kind of a no-brainer. I could just stream my sessions and save myself the need from editing and automagically archive everything I have going on and keep it all nice and tidy. The first is a vanilla Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch playthrough and the second is an Elden Ring pseudo RP run as Magus from Chrono Trigger trying to emulate Magus in both look and function in the game and trying to beat it with that build. I'm finding difficulty with two separate things at the moment. The first is commentary while alone. I am finding it difficult to remain engaged in speaking when I am alone and know next to nothing about the game (RE: Ni no Kuni) other than muttering about what is currently happening in the game and hot takes on the scripting or what is transpiring in the script at any given moment. I thought about reading the text dialogue that doesn't have the VA treatment but I don't want to burn my own voice out and I'd likely have trouble keeping voices straight or serious at all. I guess I am just looking for some feedback on things I am doing that I should keep doing, things I am doing that I should stop doing and quality control before I start any threads to enhance discussion on the activity and expose my efforts to the greater public. Elden Ring: Chrono Trigger Magus RP Part 01 Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Part 01 Sincerest apologies if my content makes you die inside, I'm trying to do better. I promise.

I think the thing you need to ask yourself is: Why are you doing this? I don't mean it to suggest that you should stop, but as a serious question you don't appear to have asked yourself. What are you hoping to accomplish? What is your purpose for streaming and recording yourself and your gameplay in this way? It doesn't have to be profound. "Because it's fun" is a good enough reason, if that's your answer. But really search your motives. Are you trying to become popular and gain a big following, or influence? Do you want to have an audience to interact with? Do you want to create a unique perspective on the games you stream? Do you want to draw attention to less-known games and show something novel to people who might not be aware of it? Do you want to show off games that you love and think deserve more interest? These are almost all admirable and meaningful goals, but they all demand different approaches and suggest different improvements to your setup. I clicked on a few random parts of your Ni no Kuni video and didn't really see any attempt to reach any of those goals. I'm going to be very harsh: I didn't think it was particularly entertaining. I saw a few attempts at humor that didn't land for me, and no benefit to having your face on the screen and having to tell the viewers when your HP was getting low because you were covering it. I didn't feel like your commentary, what little there was, added much to the experience. That may not be consistent throughout the two-hour-long video, but since you're asking for advice here, I suspect that it is. That's the bad news. The good news is that I don't think there's anything objectively wrong with any of it. It's not very good, but it's certainly not especially bad. It just doesn't offer anything that grabs my attention and makes me want to watch two hours of it when I could watch anything I choose. If I were more interested in the game, I might play it in the background while doing something else. As it is, I don't think you'll find the audience you want for your particular content here. I could be wrong - there are people here who will watch some of the most surprising things - but I think a thread featuring the video I saw will mostly lead people to ask "Why are you posting this here? What is this thread doing other than hosting links to your videos? Why is this one video so long? Where are the breaks for us to discuss the game, and possibly feed information back to you for upcoming videos?" I've watched and enjoyed threads composed of streamed videos, but usually by people who have been posting LPs here for some time, established a rapport, and perhaps most importantly, work in groups that tend to generate entertaining commentary. When I choose a game to play for a thread, I always ask myself why. Why should people watch me play this game? What about this game, or this playthrough, will be something that only I can offer, or something that's worth having more of out there? Sometimes, that means changing my format, or searching for commentary partners, or playing the game in an unusual way. Sometimes, it leads to me deciding not to record that game, because I don't have a reason to. And above all, I enjoy it. If I stop enjoying it, then it's time to abandon it or take a break to recharge. So, with that in mind, ask yourself: Why are you doing this? And let your answer inform your process. Are you just doing it to have fun? Are you having as much fun as you'd like? If not, think about ways to make the process more fun for yourself, and don't worry too much about what viewers will want. If the livestream format is that important to you, maybe you would work well with a co-commentator. Sometimes, two or three people who can just have fun together can make an LP work. (Example: A fair majority of Game Grumps videos.) Are you looking for more viewers? Then you'll probably need to cater to algorithms and do a bunch of things that will really make people tell you not to post here. Is it something about the games you play? Then think about what it is about those games that makes you want to stream them and bring that to the streams. It may mean being more selective about the games you play - perhaps RPGs don't work well with your style, and you'd get better results with a more action-heavy game. Maybe you'd do better with games you're more familiar with. There's also always the Let's Stream thread, where you can announce streams and let people come to them if they're interested. That might get you some viewers without needing to worry about what will make a good thread or who will want to watch your videos. In summary, I think you're going to be the driver of any improvement you want to make, and it will depend on what you think needs to improve. I hope that's helpful.

I was having a hard time not being bored playing that game, it has a VERY slow start and is extremely hand-holding at the beginning for quite some time. I'm not entirely certain what my overall goal is, but I do enjoy it as a hobby. It's fun to mess around with the tech and video editing and learning how to do the things I want to do. I also enjoy games a lot more when I have people to talk to while I am playing, it's much more engaging and entertaining for me and keeps me lively during a session. I am just getting started and trying to figure out where this all will land and work for me. If it just so happens that my solo-play games are boring and aren't worth sharing, that's not a big deal. It just happened to be what I was in the mood the play at the time I started recording. I can stretch my legs into other games I play regularly and do some VODs for D2 or something and see if that changes anything. I do want to continue to produce entertaining content for fun and while I am not terribly concerned with the success, I also don't want to contribute things not worth watching.

You'll want to look for something like this in the encoder settings for your twitch broadcasts. My twitch stream looked like poo poo no matter what I did, and it turned out it was because I was hard limiting it to 1000 kbps. I upped it and the problem was solved immediately. You'll also want something called Adaptive CBR on to prevent dropped frames just in case as well, at least on xsplit. No idea about others, but hopefully this helps a bit.

I was having a hard time not being bored playing that game, it has a VERY slow start and is extremely hand-holding at the beginning for quite some time. If you're streaming a game, then it doesn't matter that much whether the game is boring, what matters is whether you're boring. If you're putting your face in the corner of the screen, it's because you're making yourself part of the content - and that means it's up to you to enhance the good moments and cover for the dull moments, basically. RPGs and other slow-paced games are often harder to stream, though - the slower pace, relative lack of surprising moments, and lack of need for twitch reflexes all mean that you often need to put more into it to make it entertaining. I'd say that streaming isn't exactly the same as Let's Playing, though. Since streaming is live entertainment, you have to carry through all the long boring parts that'd get edited out of a LP, and most of your viewer interaction is on the fly during the stream rather than in a thread between videos. With some effort, streaming can be integrated into a LP, but I don't think it's something that just comes naturally - it's something you have to plan for and keep in mind when you're running the streams.
