>start gaming channel >realize you can't do commentary

Just do speed-runs or minimum level challenges.

You just need to be presentable, well-spoken, and confident-sounding.

It's not like other gamers make good commentary they're just good actors and articulators.

>>386574783
yep do this, it's what all no lifers, retards and fucking failed humans do.

you might as well be an orphan child as well at that point because you're so low on the totem pole

My main problem is I focus too much on the game. I just talk about little stuff involving the gameplay as I play. But I can trail off and tell stories. Its hard to do that when alone.

Alright, now how the fuck do I market it? Can't put it here, because anon goes autismal spasmo every time someone does that.

Or be the guy who posts longplays without commentary.

Good. Make videos without commentary where you just play the game. There is a serious lack of those. Be sure to mark every video with "no commentary".

My thought process everytime I try come up with gaming related content for youtube. The last thing I can think of is Etika World Network style content, but that relys entirly on his interesting personality. Which frankly I dont have one.

I might just do in depth reviews like ProJared for fun I guess.

Look at it this way, OP:

You're still more interesting than most popular gaming personalities.

>>386575831
You really think there is a market for that? Seems kinda boring. What about longplay with minimum talking. For the most part silent gaming, but still talk or get audio reaction when something crazy happens?

Or do you think that would be too middle of the road and not what anyone wants? I wouldn't mind doing completely silent longplays I suppose.

You'd be surprised. A lot of people just want to watch a game they can't afford or is no longer on the market without someone talking over it.

At least you realise this.

Sometimes for a chuckle I go to twitch and scroll down to people with a few viewers. There are some boring cunts there with no personality at all who clearly try and stream daily for years to no avail and they wonder why.

>gaming channel
For what purpose? I work and when I get home, I shut myself in my room for a few hours to play video games alone. The last thing I want is human interaction, let alone recording myself and having people comment about me online.

>>386574701
Whats your shit op
Post it so i can watch stream now aswell so i can watch a stream of some narl

>>386576605
Just because it isn't for you doesn't mean there aren't people who enjoy it.

What games can you stream set it up faggot it'll be narl as fuck bruh

>>386574701
There's quite a few people who hate commentary, especially horror game fans (understandably).

Start a horror game channel without commentary = PROFIT.

Stream something with ass in it and were gud2go anon

>>386574701
>you are boring and not funny
You're in the right place, friend.

There hasn't been a bigger collection of boring and not funny people since 'insert last game Anthony Burch worked on here'

>>386576367
You know, you are right. I will do it. Wonder if I should make that a separate channel or just mix the silent longplays in with all my other content

What are you trying to do, anon? It seems like you want to make commentary heavy, personality focused lets plays but that's such an over-saturated market that you might as well not bother.

If you want to make gaming videos, then do something that's in short supply and is unique. Make lets plays that go in-depth and talk about the history of the game you're playing. Make reviews of obscure titles that no one else has heard about.

Don't worry about being shit, you'll get better over time. Just make sure to accept actual criticism when it's handed to you.

I wouldn't mind streaming on Twitch, but I don't own a microphone/webcam.

Why do you need a webcam for streaming, anyway?

Actually that was the concept of the channel when I was starting it. I wanted the content to be mostly reviews of PSN/Nintendo downloadable games. Games that have no reviews/shit reviews.

But every decent game I came across that I wanted to reviewed, already has been reviewed to hell. i would just be repeating the info. Which is why I was thinking of making it more of a show+review, so there is still value in watching it. But I dunno.

I might just make indepth reviews and make them interesting/funny, and try to ignore everyone one else's content.

My mic and capture card just arrived a few days ago. This is a little test video I made to try out the equipment.

Just get some video editing skills and add a witty comment here and there. Dont need to put your voice over the vid.

>>386575965
>every game to hell and back has been reviewed

If you actually want to try building an audience instead of just dicking around for fun, unless you are the most charismatic fucker in the world and get lucky through word of mouth, you need to piggyback off of things that are already popular (to get started).

1. Buy and review brand new games that already have a decent amount of hype. Try to put away $60 a month for this at least.

2. Critical/controversial reviews tend to get you more publicity. I'm not saying you should necessarily be harder on games, but don't be afraid to buy games that you think you might not like. Pure "yes men" are boring. If you end up reviewing one that you actually hate, you'll still enjoy shitting on it.

3. If you think you're boring to listen to, then study some public speaking techniques. You can make yourself a lot more interesting to listen to just by keeping your voice dynamic - changing up your pitch, volume, rhythm and emphasis at key points instead of speaking monotone or with the exact same rhythmic pattern over and over. You don't even have to say different things or be clever or funny.

If you only want to focus on a more niche subject then it's harder to get started, though not impossible. Good presentation can take you a very, very long way.

>every decent game I came across that I wanted to reviewed, already has been reviewed to hell.

Are they actually good reviews, or is it just someone talking in a monotone voice for 5 minutes? If it's the latter then you might as well try to make something that's better, more in-depth, and more bearable to listen to.

You may also want to expand your horizons beyond Nintendo/PSN stuff. Steam and GOG have a lot of interesting titles on them with not much coverage. Thrift stores as well are worth giving a shot if you need more titles; I've gotten a decent backlog of oddball games to talk about because of those places.

Also listen to >>386578369, he's got good advice.

Is there an upper age limit to setting up gaming streams? I know there isn't, but where would you personally set it, and should popular streamers who reach this age quit?

>>386576178
If I miss a part of a story (like accidently skipping something) I'll try to find either the specific scene or try to skip to it in a no commentry long play. You won't get a lot of subscribers but I'd imagine you'd quite quickly get a lot of views. You have to be good at the game though.

>>386579071
25 unless you're fairly certain you have what it takes

>>386579578
there are plenty of popular streamers in their 30s

>>386579071
this is a stupid question anon, just stream if you want to stream. who cares what your age is?

>>386580578

A lot of people, it seems. I don't get them either.

I would have to review something daily with a facecam taking up 90% of the video for any videos to get recommended on by youtube to likeminded people. Feels bad.

No commentary videos. Don't become another in a sea of shitty voices. If you can play games with skill then gameplay videos with no commentary are the way to go. Just show off what makes the game fun.
