Also, i dont get why people record videos of Day Z. It's fun to play, boring as HELL to watch, unless the commentary is good theres just no point. I cant imagine watching SILENT gameplay of it o.o

@cavatina It's usually best if the Commentator has it so it's just Segments of Day Z instead of the entire thing. That's what my friend does with our Arma Gameplay.

@swirliethsparkleth Agreed there too! Hybridpanda does that, it's much better then.

@cavatina Even if it's for a game I like I can't watch if commentary is bad, no matter what the game is. Watching an LP is 100% about the commentary for me, I'll watch games I hate if the commentary is good enough.

@toksyuryel I remember for awhile Achievement Hunter gave C-list games to the intern to review, and those were almost as amusing as the AAA titles. "Who the buck wrote this physics engine?!"

@cavatina That's me with minecraft. Fun to play, boring to watch.

@cavatina Bad DayZ gameplay is more fun. Watching the RT staff go "WTF?!" and get chased all over kinda made me smile.

@eaglehooves It's a curve. Gameplay videos get steadily less interesting to watch the more skilled the players become, until it peaks at the super-high end and becomes interesting again.

@ceruleanspark but they also suck when the player sucks enough not to be able to even complete the game.

@techdisk42 So it's an S curve.
Monday, 16-Jul-12 21:59:41 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark More like an uhh... dunno. its interesting at that borderline where the guy is having ragequit diffuculty, but is still completeing it nonetheless. so, its more like a curve that starts with a straight line.

@techdisk42 DaveTheUsher tends to be in this territory rather frequently. But his commentary is always such a goldmine that it really does not matter XD

@toksyuryel i kinda have been neglecting watching LPs... but i started one of my own today (which i REALLY should get around to editing the first episode)

@techdisk42 Well yeah, unless they've /very/ funny, watching someone fail at the same segment over and over is dull. DeceasedCrab's playthrough of Eversion straddles that line almost continuously during the later chapters.

@ceruleanspark Eversion is a terrifying game, and yet oddly satisfying

@ceruleanspark DeceasedCrab's La-Mulana playthrough during the Hell Temple remains some of the best entertainment on youtube. But the parts before that when he was just drunk and depressed were decidedly not entertaining.

@toksyuryel I still can't bring myself to actually care enough about la Mulana to either watch a complete LP or actually play it
Monday, 16-Jul-12 22:11:09 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark It's a really enjoyable game, sans Hell Temple, but the LP he did of it was mostly full of very entertaining moments. It gets bad when he lets his personal life bleed into it but if you can make it through those parts I feel it's worth it.

@techdisk42 The worst is when the player blames the game for their own mistakes, especially when they breeze past messages and then wonder how to do something the game just finished explaining how to do.
Monday, 16-Jul-12 21:59:58 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Yes.
