Gamers, help each other!

Good quality video and audio Baked. 720 is the stock standard for good youtubers now. I'm curious what mic you're using.

I would suggest if you're going to start a series on a particular variant of minecraft though that you should know what things like hardcore entails. Not that I do, but as a viewer, it is difficult for someone not well versed in minecraft already because I quite frankly have no idea what hardcore survival means as far as game mechanics.

Got a new Feature Creep up on the cancellation of Flight. Would love reviews.
 
thankyou for your review really helped! :) and im using a turtlebeach x11 headset im sure they have been discontinued but the x12s are better i think
 
I am new to YTTalk and just trrying to get my content out there and this seems like a great way to do it so I'm just going to dive right in and ask for a review and hopefully don't get hated on for it.


Review It Please!
 
Vile, gonna do this as a half half sorta review. One is objective, the other subjective. The subjective part is less kind than the objective but that is because what you are doing is something I don't like. However, how you are doing it can be separated from that. Not hating on you, I promise.

First of all your video quality is great. 1080p is a tough one to keep up because of the heavy upload times, so props to you. The editing quality from clip to clip is also very crisp and the vid is action packed throughout. If I had to pick something to suggest you work on it would be your slow motion timing. The action is difficult to follow and a few times in there the slow mo came after the shot was fired which is a bit jarring to the viewer.

That's the objective bit. Here's the subjective bit.

I can't stand pointless videos and to me, a video of edited together kill shots with a random musical track isn't content. It's not a review, it's not commentary, it's not casting. To me, you haven't added anything of value to the already existing video game and are diluting an already packed full pool even further. And I'm surprised that people out there watch this kind of thing. However as I said, this is a disagreement on what you're doing and not how you're doing it. I genuinely believe that if you took that editing skill that you could put together some truly stellar stuff.

I'm going to have to say more of the same in my review. Your editing is great, albeit one or two jarring slow motion moments, but otherwise very professionally executed. And again, well done sticking to the 1080p even with the long a** upload time. My main complaint would be that the music got unbearably loud at a few points, though I know that is the nature of dubstep/electronic. Otherwise, a well made video.

On to my subjective portion, I personally didn't enjoy it. I can't stand videos with loud dubstep/electronic music over a montage of spinning and shooting and getting a kill. I know it's impressive to some people and that its ridiculously hard to pull off, but it doesn't interest me. I feel like this type of video is born out of that moment of adrenaline someone gets when they pull off the shot and they want everyone to see it. However, like Tarmack said, this is just the drop in the metaphorical ocean for videos like this and when there are so many videos of the same kind of kill over and over and over, the moment loses its awesome pulse-pounding feel and just becomes "another no scope spin shot video".

Be that at it may, don't take this as a dig against you at all! You have great editing skills and I have no doubt that you can make some high quality videos in the future. Keep it up!
 
Thank you both very much for your feedback it helps a lot, and unfortunately there isn't much that hasn't been done in the gaming community up to this point so it is hard to start something new. If you have any ideas I would be more than happy to test it out and see how it does, I am just having trouble thinking of new ideas. I personally enjoy these videos and I agree that there are quite a few of them out there but the fact that this video includes all of my friends and myself just kind of adds something cool to my group of friends I guess you can say. Once again thanks for the feedback and if you have any new video ideas feel free to let me know.
 
I know negative feedback can sometimes be a bit on the rough side, but from what I've seen of the YTTalk community even in negative feedback the intent is to be helpful.

You're one of many people trying to carve out a niche for themselves on Youtube. It's clear by the video you posted (assuming it's your play and you're not editing someone elses) that you know quite a bit about COD. So my suggestion would be to try to leverage that knowledge. Instead of focusing on videos like the one you did, maybe look towards getting microphone audio set up to try to instruct. Go through tactics. Maybe explaining good types of tactics for particular maps like sniping positions, or which weapons to avoid (tight areas, less explosive self damaging etc). Perhaps a look at proper use of grenades for example. A lot of people in FPS games have a hard time aiming them and instead just fling them semi-randomly. Every now and then you will run into a particularly good player who can nearly land a grenade on an opposing players forehead.

Those sorts of things are an excellent way to provide value. And if you combine that with your editing, you will very quickly be able to nail together a great video that both looks fantastic and can get people interested in trying something new. I've seen so few really good training style FPS videos. Most "commentary" involving COD or Battlefield is just a video background playing while a person rants on a particular topic which is neither useful, nor does it allow you to get by fair use copyright. Providing education value on the other hand can be argued to not require explicit copyright ownership of the base material.

You know the game much better than I do, so these are off the cuff suggestions.
