Most LPers aren't funny. You either get a group of friends together so you have stuff to talk about or you sell your soul and pander to literal infants. There's no real way around it.

>>Literally every game ever has already been played
Clearly you have very limited taste, as a fan of the DS, PSP and GBA there's a ton of stuff from those systems that nobody has done LPs of, same for basically everything pre-PS4.

not being funny never stopped game grumps or oneyplays, why would it stop you? just scream and make random noises, but "ironically" so idiots can tell themselves it's okay to be watching garbage. after all... it's only shit IRONICALLY

let's plays age like milk. Reviews are better, as long as they aren't done the channel awesome way.

Be very careful OP. Let's Plays can lead to mental breakdowns.

Here's my PSP folder on my computer. Any of these seem remotely interesting?

LPs are dead, dude. Only the biggest ones like Game Grumps or Oney Plays have any traction nowadays.

What you SHOULD do instead is make a LP-review hybrid where you record yourself playing through a game all the way, and cutting it down into review-like format where you add in your summarized takes on things. Channels like Civvie11 and Nitrorad have done that pretty well.

Pretty sure it was creepy obsessive strangers outing him.

i wonder if they're the same creepy obsessive strangers that made brianna wu flee her house out of fear?

You can add TehSnakerer to that list. It definitely seems like a good format, but the amount of editing people put in for what is essentially a condensed longplay is ridiculous.

>spend time playing games instead of socializing
>develop symptoms of depression
>use lets plays as a surrogate for social interaction
>become more depressed
It was bound to happen sooner or later. And it'll happen to most of you as well because you use videogames and chatrooms to substitute genuine human connections. Get more hobbies and find people to connect with over them before you shove the blackpill up your ass and throw pity parties for yourself. It's never too late

>Armored Core
You could get some niche audience, I don't think there is a lot of let's players who play Mecha games
>Half minute hero
Nice for small independent videos
>Ys
If you're willing to do a "part 75" let's play I guess it could work.

>Her
Stop enabling Larry Flynt's mentally ill son.

user I'll be completely honest with you. I think you should make whatever you want, and have fun doing it, but I want you to give up any notion of doing something good. Why? Because you don't even know what to make and are asking Zig Forums.
You're now even asking Zig Forums what game you should play. If you don;t have the imagination, initiative, or ability to just do something you want to without asking this shithole exactly what to make... you are simply not going to make anything good. You are asking to be led by a committee before you've even decided what you want to do. You will never make anything good this way.

Please take a look at what you would like to do, and also what you're strengths and weaknesses are, and work from there. But ffs don't come here asking exactly what to play and what to do with it, because you're just going to waste your time making what someone else asked you to, and it will be meaningless to you.

And the irony is you want to stand out from the crowd. Deary deary me.

I'm glad Chris made him delete those tweets

>doesn't offer value to the consumers
>gets surprised that the consumers don't care about his product
look at this faggot

Going to keep mentioning it until someone does it.
>take interesting, cool, good looking whatever japanese games
>play through them
>translate the story so everyone can enjoy it, at least vicariously
Plunder all the weird obscure libraries for PC98 and such, pause for little on the fly japanese cultural and language lessons where the knowledge will help understanding and maybe build up interest in getting stuff translated properly that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

>want to review games
>there's already a bunch of good reviewers
What the fuck is there to make videos about now? The only ideas I came up with is talking about dead franchises or doing shitty rant videos about how much I hate the industry.

>>Literally every game ever has already been played
I've always wanted a channel that mainly played really shitty obscure itch.io/gamejolt/etc games

>rant videos about how much I hate the industry.
I sure you have a million very interesting, fresh and unique takes

I appreciate the character analysis, but I'm just a fan of video game content on Youtube and wanted Zig Forums's opinion on what's in and what's not. You don't have to turn your nose up and act high and mighty because someone lacks direction. Your post reeks of insecurity.

If you REALLY want to know what I want to do, it's make interpretive dance videos set to classic SNES/AMIGA tracks, using clones of myself that go exactly to each instrument. Essentially make myself a human visualizer. However, I'm not the most fit, so I'm well aware I need to get a good body first.

also play through the j version of stuff that was translated normally and dissect the translation/localization choices. That why you can still use popular games as bait to build up your audience.

I probably would be regurgitating shit someone else said, but at least I would have a unique voice and personality doing it.

No, you wouldn't

ok gamer
Call me when your channel takes off.

>Zig Forums poster making rant videos about the industry
>unique personality
sure

LPs have been replaced by livestreams

>pretty good at rocket jumping and market gardening
>no base jumper just really fast jumps everywhere
>people in matches have complemented how good I was doing
Do I have a shot?

>>Literally every game ever has already been played
And? Doesn't stop people from playing them
>>Not a particularly funny or wacky personality, just some dude
Well, maybe people would like that. Not everyone needs to scream and shout all the time. Plus, most Lets Players aren't that funny, I've only seen a couple that were genuinely funny guys and not just screaming and shouting
>>Nobody even watches the videos, they just treat them like podcasts
I don't think that's really an issue though? Let's plays are perfect for background noise.

Record your gameplay then go over it with a friend live. I'll give it a watch. I think this format would work better than trying to figure out a joke on the fly while playing, and could be interesting especially if you know a lot about the game.

I'm so obsessed with Resident Evil 4 that I could play the entire game in 2 sittings and talk about just the game, never running out of shit to say
but I don't know how to edit a video
I've considered streaming instead but the best my internet allows me to stream at is 720p

I was planning to be a variety streamer and do content creation and learning challenges as well but my family kept interrupting innocently and unavoidably but it still felt too personal to stream watching it back.
And I just got lazy. Keeping the setup and a schedule is not my thing. I only really learned to do it to learn how to do it.
As soon as I learn to do stuff I just stop and want to go learn to do something else. I wanted streaming to help motivate myself to improve but it just wouldnt work.

Half of video editing is just learning what all the buttons do, the really basic stuff is all click and drag. But the basics is about as far as I got.
