Hey!
I was wondering how you guys like to structure letsplay series regarding cliffhangers.
I know we all hate cliff hangers, but it really does work to bring people back. I have been making each episode a complete episode or it feels like it comes to a conclusion without a big cliffhanger. I will end the episode at the finish of a boss fight not at the start of one.
I personally hate cliff hangers and they do it SOOO often in anime, but it works so well it makes me watch the next episode every time.

So do you guys put cliffhangers?
Do you guys despise it so much that your pride prevents you from doing that?
The letsplays I've seen don't usually structure cliff hangers in their episodes.
 
I don't even think about it. I end an episode once I think I have enough footage for one episode, whether it's right before a boss fight, right after a boss fight, or in the middle of a dungeon.
 
I dont put cliff hangers, but i make sure I dont stop the video half way through a good part. Cliffhangers do make me want to watch the next episode though
 
Cliffhangers are good. Yes. I used to do them all the time, but I got people coming back to my videos a lot.

Really, if you're able to pull them off, you'll be fine.
 
Cliffhangers? Yes i use them all the time. They can bring lots of views if you exactly know where to cut in editing process.
 
To be honest, engineering it to end on a cliff hanger is just more hard work, for me it took 3 and a half hours creating my 2 minutes 5 second video (including thumbnails, editing, capturing footage) and that is excluding the upload time! I would never even bother with it friend!
 
Sometimes it really does help bring the viewers and kept them waiting :) I have done it a few times ^_^
 
Typically, all I do for my videos when I split them up is to end off between parts of my dialogue, not in the middle of a sentence. That being said, if I happen to end off on a suspenseful part then I do, but usually it is not my intent to create deliberate cliffhangers.
