How To Make Let's Plays

[@AriesFae]

I spent a few hours learning about the KZbin algorithm, weeks researching successful streamers, etc. I already have a high end gaming laptop and a format that I want to use. I feel like I've gathered enough information to begin my journey, but one can never be too sure. Thanks for the insightful video!

[@AriesFae]

Maybe those Public Speaking classes that I took back in high school will be useful after all. As my teacher said, "Project, project, project!" Lol

[@AriesFae]

An interesting point that you brought up in your video is relating your internet handle to the content that you are putting out. Unfortunately, the one that I have chosen doesn't fit, but I really don't want to use anything else. Lol. It's not Anastasia Nadine, btw. That's my actual name.

[@pennym1056]

Something I’ve learned is that you’ll never know everything before starting - the skills that established YTers have are ones they picked up by doing, as well as by study. So jump right in, and just keep making them! You sound thoughtful and interesting, so I wish you luck!

[@ChrisDanford]

Thumbnail and title are so important. My big problem is that I spend 10-30 hours making a video and spend only 15 mins making the thumbnail, title, keywords. It’s not the fun part, but I should be spending way more time on the thumbnail and SEO.

[@endbanner7515]

I love making thumbnails but the prep is definitely boring XD

[@AngeloJGiannone]

Dude... 3 years later I'm watching this video, streaming Red Dead Redemption AS Arthur Morgan. I'm an actor, so it came naturally to dress up, do the voice, etc. This has helped solidify some great practices and looking forward to uploading the first part from Twitch tomorrow. Thanks!

I wanna put a Sleeping Dogs let's play out there. I don't need money, or exposure, I just feel like that game does, and I feel the urge to share what I like about it.

[@vienna8247]

Do it bro

[@Light-Rock97]

@@vienna8247 I still might. I was thinking of leveraging what I know about texturing and editing and making it look like a TV series of sorts, with some of Wei's injuries carrying from one mission to the next, gradually healing, and having the secondary characters change wardrobes once in a while. I've done some tests already, like having Ming's face be all bruised the next time we see him after beating him up at that rooftop. It's fun stuff.

[@shangarbagio]

Do it. Sleeping Dogs is one the best games ever made.

[@Light-Rock97]

Agreed. There's a reason we keep coming back to it. It's something special.

[@ShadoSpartan44]

just bought Witcher 3 game of the year for 10 bucks, at first i thought of just playing it, but i thought this might be great for a let's play series. Glad i got to see some of your advice

[@darkhpwarrior2803]

Thank you man for the help, I make lets plays on all sorts of different games and didnt know if that was the right thing

[@whimsicalkw9346]

Wow. A lot of great advices here. Thank you so much.

[@DeadDancers]

Interesting perspective. This explains why so many thumbnails have people’s faces on them - I HATE that 😂 it turns me right off. Clearly I’m an outlier on that.

[@sethxenofightersofficialx]

[@doomjazzer3890]

I agree with you 100%. KZbin thumbnails (and titles) are incredibly obnoxious. I use an extension for Firefox that removes them, it's called Clickbait Remover for KZbin.

[@arandomkaz]

I can barely upload once a week. Is that enough for doing multiple parts of a game and have it well edited?

[@Gooby12337]

i like to record in 4k60fps. How do KZbinrs record both a 4k camera and their game in 4k? It like overloads my PC.

[@Gooby12337]

Like youtuber Hollow. He does 4k60fps and has amazing quality. He can make his camera take up the whole screen and it looks great, and he also records his gameplay in 4k.

[@rafaellewis1263]

The footage the camera shoots is being recorded onto an SD card, not the PC. The PC is only screen recording and playing the game. Unless it’s a live stream, but I’m not too familiar with those.

[@haraz2594]

Depends on your device if it is low end then 4500-7500, if it is middle then mabey a liit le bit above 10000 and if it is high end then 20000 or better 60000

Does having a camera really matter for Let's Plays? I know when I watch games on KZbin I'm interested in the game, not the player's face.

its really matter, cuz i only watch the youtubers who i enjoy the most

yea but people's attention span is low now and let's plays are diying i have good commentary sometimes and sometimes i don't. some people leave the video in like the first 2 min of my videos .i make good audio and sometimes i don't then thumbnails i made a sick thumbnail for my old super meat boy play through and thumbnail no one watch them. i hardly edit i never edit at all because i talk too much me and my friends talk about this argument. also there too much going on on the screen games like mass effect i don't use face cams for those types of games and halo and monster hunter only place i set my face cam is the middle of the screen but people complain in my comments saying the face cam is too small.also most of my viewers rather watch my topic talk new discussion and not lets plays .i also use tags they dont work i also use this tag generator i found for youtbe it been working but does not work sometimes.
