I've Got It
So I've been running around with my head practically cut off trying to figure out the best way to title my Lets Play/ Walkthrough/ Playthrough videos.

Now i've pulled up answers from almost three to four years ago but thats just it, in that time frame that answer was acceptable.

My question to you wonderful people of yttalk what would be the first thing you'd search for when you want to watch a video of your favorite game series?
Gamplay, lets play, walkthrough or playthrough?
How would you title your videos accordingly?

if you look up ghostrobo his titling system for his videos is off the chart meaning he uses more than one but that just seems unnecessary to me, or is it?

Thank you guys in advance for you assistance!

just think of the most basic thing somebody would search for and try to include it in your title, description, and tags. I have experimented and it seems like the title has the biggest influence on search results. After a video gains traction I think other things factor in, but the title instantly changed my ranking on search results while tags didn't. My Navy weapon system is called CIWS, so I include "CIWS Shooting" in the title of each video. I would think people wanting to see the gun shoot would enter that almost exactly. If you search for "CIWS" or "CIWS Shooting", my videos rank right at the top, even over some videos that have millions of views. Experiment with it and search for your video after making changes.
 
hello again Kitty. when I look for a walkthrough I look for text. Something I can either print off and read or skip to the part im stuck on. Game play footage is just that. Gameplay ONLY. No commentary. I wouldn't call your videos either.

To me the title "Mass Effect gameplay walkthrough" sounds more like a tutorial than a commentary.

I like your title on the sims 4. " Lets play : The Sims 4 - part xx - title." It tells the viewer exactly what it is and still lets you be creative with the actual naming of the episode. I'd stick with that sort of set up. Want to do a Skyrim series? Then call it "Lets Play Skyrim - Part XX - title." Want to do a Skyrim review? Then call it "Skyrim review - part 1". Want to show people how to get through a particular dungeon? Then call it "Skyrim walkthrough - Dungeon name"

Just keep it simple would be my advice. I don't know how the search results work or anything but from a viewers perspective I like to know what im getting.
