Fledgling Fyora War_Tiger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hello there, long time fan of spiderweb games. Played them since the first Exile! I just bought the most recent Avernum and wanted to give a review. So for anyone wanting a review of the game you can check out my video on youtube. I'll be getting further into the game to show more gameplay so look around for it. Feel free to leave your thoughts about the game or the review below!

Garrulous Glaahk Kinsume Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It wasn't too bad. You have a good voice for commentating but you use alot of um's and such which kind of ruin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also record it while I'm playing as opposed to shooting it, and commentating over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Kinsume Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah that is the best way to do it often times, as people who commentate over something that's already been played/recorded often make it extremely obvious they are doing so. If you're looking for things to add as a filler while not explaining a specific thing taking place in the game, tieing the game to others like it that you've played tends to work. For example if you are in the middle of combat and using spells, comparing the spells and effects they have here to those in other games works pretty well as fillers.

Fledgling Fyora War_Tiger Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ah yeah I sometimes do that actually, usually comparing gameplay elements with other games. It's kind of like giving an unplanned speech in a way, you have people watching (hopefully) and you have to find something meaningful to say on the spot.

Garrulous Glaahk Kinsume Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If you can't figure out something meaningful to say, humor typically works well. If you're looking to pull in a crowd then that will want to be your main focus. Analyzing a game is all good and fun, but if you don't have humor or something unique about what you do it'll just get lost in the thousands of other commentary videos.

Fledgling Fyora War_Tiger Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Too true, sometimes it comes naturally, and other times it doesn't. I don't feel it is ever wise to force humor though. The jokes that come from doing that are of varying quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
