I streamed for multiple days in a row this week because I was restless but still couldn't go anywhere due to the pain from my kidney stones and I gotta say, it was a lot of fun but it did wear me out. I can't imagine doing it for twice as long as I did every day. That would suck.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Can you make a living from video uploads these days, though? From what I've seen the people who donate to streamers, especially the ones that go hog wild and drop hundreds of dollars, do it for interaction with the streamer and to get a reaction God, no. Money made from ad revenue etc is loving awful. You absolutely need an outside source of income like donations etc to make a living doing streaming or youtube videos unless you are one of the absolute most popular. edit: My source for this btw is myself. I made 100 dollars a year from youtube ad revenue with ads turned up to the max on all of my videos, whereas I currently make about 150 dollars a month from my Patreon which is totally donator-based. So I turned ads off on my youtube videos because it's not even worth it. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Feb 25, 2017 |

I forgot how hard and overcharted some of the songs at the end of Guitar Hero 2 and 3 are. Jesus christ gently caress Psychobilly Freakout so hard. edit: gently caress Institutionalized also, unlike Psychobilly Freakout I like that song but holy crap they had a field day with these trills CJacobs fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Feb 25, 2017 |

Cowcaster posted:pull off and hammer ons were hosed up in guitar hero 1 but better from then on at least from what i remember at least they fixed that Yeah, the timing in GH2 is a lot more generous than the other games. I think there's a loading screen tip poking fun at how HOPO's were busted in GH1 too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBBpRKVcxCI gently caress this song also. Again, like the song, hate what they did to it. It actually wouldn't be so bad if there weren't those goddamn HOPO's in the middle of the strumming because you might accidentally hit them AS hopo's and the game will then interpret the strumming wrong and you'll lose your combo. edit: The only songs in the last couple tiers of GH2 that aren't overcharted as hell are Madhouse, YYZ, Beast and the Harlot, Hangar 18, and Free Bird. Everything else (The Trooper, Rock This Town, Laid to Rest, Psychobilly Freakout, Carry Me Home, Institutionalized, and Misirlou) is hard for the sake of being hard.

Like hell it is. The notes in that song may as well form a middle finger that comes directly at you. edit: Also, I am of the opinion that guitar hero is more fun on hard despite being good at it on expert because of songs like that.

Free Bird continues to be the best song in the game, and also I forgot how awesome the end of the game is. I just got the Grim Reaper abducted by aliens at Stonehenge and they flew off with him leaving a message saying "Live and Let Rock" among the stars, all set to fireworks, after getting 5 stars on Free Bird. Video games were a good idea.

No I know, but their version is a cover of the Dick Dale version, it's just faster and shittier.

 Success! 5 stars on every song on Expert.  Time to move onto Guitar Hero 3 but maybe after a nice long break because my wrist is on fire edit Quest For Glory II posted:You could theoretically make a poverty living With Youtube's default ad structure it's 40,000 views = $100, give or take some based on how long your videos are (because the length of the video changes how many ads can run on it, up to 3). Having a network attached to your channel will bump up the money you make and the views required down, but they take a percent of your earnings that imo is never ever worth it. What's more important though is that people actually watch the ads instead of skipping them or blocking them because that gets you far less money, and the vast overwhelming majority of people who watch gaming videos are absolutely savvy enough to be using an ad blocker. edit: Generally speaking, using Youtube's ads and Google's payment structure as a way to make money is impossible unless you make that 40,000 views on every video. But even then, the amount you earn per ad will actually go down the more popular you are because lol corporate greed, so you will need more views to make the same amount of money as somebody less popular.

One time I dove into the random online play of GH World Tour and some guys who were grouped were jokin at me because I named my character my own name instead of like GuitarGod or Tony Hawk or w/e, but then I owned them at expert guitar and we became impromptu friends so it's all good

The sooner you accept that enemies in the COD campaigns are paper targets with slightly more mobility and nothing more unless they have a name, the sooner you will be able to play them and have fun instead of thinking about how many orphans and widows you have created

I started a new playthrough of Dark Souls 2 this evening as per the reddit thing going on and I already gave up. Man that game controls like poo poo. The weird deadzone issues and overall weightlessness of the controls are just reminding me why I've got literally 10 times as many hours of playtime in the other two games.

Mafia 3 would've been cool with GTA San Andreas' gang wars style gameplay where you could like, do survival mode stuff occasionally in random locations to take neighborhoods from other gangs. That was pretty fun and a cool idea.

God Dark Souls 2 is so frustrating. Losing max health when you die is such a lovely mechanic, I still can't believe they looked at the absolute worst element of Demon's Souls and said "that's fine, let's do that again". At least in Demon's Souls the game was balanced around you having half health all the time.

GTA 5 could have been fun to play if they'd just used Max Payne 3's control scheme instead of the stupid one they went with. Yes, make me hold down the A button at literally all times or else I walk, thanks. I can definitely see the benefits of this. Walking to running based on stick sensitivity, what's that?

Doctor Spaceman posted:I've no idea what it's like now but the Small Soapstone was great for getting max health back again. Thankfully the reddit event that's going on now makes getting summoned pretty easy, but the game is definitely gonna go right back to being dead after it concludes and the Bloodborne event starts so it's a temporary solution at best.

The annoying thing is that neither ending A or B is satisfying despite both providing a sound payoff to their respective character's story because in-world you are doing it to either dissuade a billionaire shithead tool or militarized mafia tools to leave you alone, and not because it's the natural conclusion to the story. And then the third ending (the one they want you to go with) is just dumb because it wraps up everything in like 20 minutes without actually wrapping up anything at all.

GUI posted:I don't see what the big deal is. All the Mass Effect games, and RPGs in general, have their fair share of goofy/low budget animations in their 30+ hour playtime. Yes but sometimes those games also have good graphics and animation, whereas this game has consistently shown that it has none of either. edit: Remember that this isn't just goofy animations, this is what they chose to show the public. This is what they decided best represents the game. They sent this to IGN in this state and said "eople who are undecided on whether or not they're gonna buy it, this is what our game will look like".

bloodychill posted:Eh, yeah but it's one 1 second clip in a big thing. It reminds me of the Brom scene from Horizon. It's really bad but having played the game for 12 hours now, I can say that the voice acting is usually competent and that was an outlier. However, Even stranger is that the facial animation rigging is also uneven because sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's even worse than what we saw in that scene. I would agree with you were it not for that preview where the facial animations were all hosed and ugly, followed by a statement by Bioware that they recognized players' complaints and fixed them, followed by more previews where it isn't even slightly better- almost certainly changed, but not fixed.
