Prophesy of Pendor gameplay/highlights (video) *NEW CRIKEN VIDEO*

[Waddy]

I'm thinking of doing a series of videos from me starting out and going through the game
I'll be editing the footage though and making it into a more entertaining/funny experience rather then too serious.

The first episode is a kind of pilot and going off what feedback I get will say whether or not I carry on making them.

So please if you have some spare time, take a look, the next video might be longer/shorter or none-existent!
Feedback is also welcomed/encourage, please try to keep it constructive though

Be gentle 

EDIT:
As promised the video with Criken, it's a little 'gameplay' lite.

Ooh, ive done some videos myself, and this is pretty good commentary. Let me guess, Hypercam? The accent is great too.. not that you could change it if it wasn't. Good job and i hope to see more.

 

[Waddy]

No Fraps actually, why is the quality poor?

 

[MitchyMatt]

Its a good start but keep it going.

 

[Waddy]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

 

[Lokloklok]

Really? I had some problems with fraps in M&B is all. Hypercam was much more agreeable. Anyways you have picked a good choice for your faction, fierdsvain and empire usually end up dominating from what I've seen in game and on the forums.

Thanks, the next video will probably be on the same mod but a different style, just clips of silly and funny things that
happened whilst me and Criken were both on single player and talking on steam chat together.

And then after that I'll probably carry on with the series 

 

[Ser Varys]

Great, I'd like to see more of these as well. Good luck in making them!

(Your Amnesia scream videos were quite amusing as well )

 

[Waddy]

Yeh thanks guys I think judging by the feedback I'll be making more, currently at Uni so as soon as I get back I'll get to editing the footage I shot
last night with the one and only Criken

Well, I just got through your first video, and I have to say, I was quite entertained. Sure, it was a bit stupid at times (on purpose) which isn't really my flavor of humor, but still entertaining.

I'll be keeping and eye out for more of these.

 

[AxeMaster3]

Good stuff.

However I think you need a shield and poking stick.

Subscribed. I love you, ser.

I'm not pulling any punches for 2 reasons: First, you've gotten a good shot of positive feedback so you've a buffer now and second, I'm a minor YouTube video poster as well and thus am more critical than the average user and would be doing you no service at all by just smiling and nodding.

I've also thought long and hard about some sort of Warband or mod recording but rejected the idea in the end because - in my opinion - the best moments are few and far between as well as repetative. After that one is stuck with finding glitches to point at and once those are used up, stranger and stranger mods and cheats like giving yourself the whole wedding outfit and running amok with 1000 AGI. Either way, in my mind, M&B - while having terrific replayability for a person - is quite limited in YT-quality material. This can be somewhat expanded by developing either a character that you embody or play that the audience cares about. Example: Toby from TobyGames - his fans will watch him play just about anything because he is goofy and he plays everything like it's HIM. They identify with and like him (or the character he portrays) so enjoy seeing his struggles and triumphs. I go into this a little more below.

Critique:

• You lost me less than 2 minutes in mostly because you had nothing to grab my attention. I've played PoP so I'm uninterested in the tavern unless something happens in there besides you saying "That's a Knight..." so right away I'd say your intros need some work but I would not suggest creating something that you slap on the front of every video you make. Criken's the man so let's look at him: Every video starts with a brief scene that is 1) easy to grasp for those unfamiliar with the game and 2) the comedic aspects of it are short and easily understood.
  
• Next, the persona you showed throughout the first 3 1/2 minutes of the video was one of a somewhat bewildered and detached player playing a game. I object to this because it makes it difficult for us to care if you only seem to kind of float across the surface of the game. The first time you showed real interest and emotion is when you got taken off your horse at 2:30 and that was only while you were saying "ow!" The event was unremarkable and you didn't improve it by much. I get that you are new to the mod but ya gotta dive right in and cut out the confusion. Surprise, awe, fear, and joy are all great and in your second large battle you really started to show some character I could be interested in - right before you got annihilated via lance. From that point on things improved dramatically because you were more engaged in the game and had plenty of crude things to say, something many a M&B video is sorely lacking and everyone in America loves a foul-mouthed Brit because you have curses, cutdowns, and nicknames for stuff that are wholly new to us.

In all it was an enjoyable experience but I'm sure if you look at your Insight stats you'll see you are losing a lot of people very early on.
