NTW "Stacraft Style Commentary" Video

I wanted to see if commentaries for total war games would be more interesting if it was fasted paced like Stacraft commentaries and I used to do commentaries on Stacraft. So I wanted to make a video focusing on that fully.

Tell me what yall think of it please

It just doesn't work, sorry.

Need more details, then just a negative answer.

If you follow up your sentence with a reason of "Why it doesn't work?" or "How it should work?".

If you tell me why it doesn't work to your opinion, then I might take your answer more seriously

hey , it work very good.... try again u will see. i like it, comment is nice and intense u feal the adrenaline comin up. i bet his opponent havent got any time to realise he will dyed less than 2 minute after been engaged . gg point .

Total war is like a game of chess, where two players start with the same amount of "stuff" and have to dwindle numbers down of the other guy to achieve victory.

Starcraft is like reverse-chess, where two players start witht he same amount of 'stuff' and also have to dwindle numbers down of the other guy, but also get more stuff along the way to help.

The amount of action and micro going on in a total war game is far different from that of a starcraft game. You start off wth So much going on, then it gets less and less until the point in where even an idiot can see what is going on, as opposed to starcraft where a commentary of this sort is more appropriate due to the consistently high levels of 'action' and complexity. Think about it as commentating on a game of chess vs a game of Starcraft.

Very understandable.

I do admit that fast commentary shouldn't be done during an entire video, but on the high-level action parts. Which is why I will use both.

I used both styles on this video, which Im sure you already saw.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea; it was just too much all the way through in this one.
Did you check out the casting tips vid I suggested in my comment?

In my opinion I found that you covered the same points more than twice. But that could be since they are being depicted again. It can be quite hard to follow
at first, but I got the gist of it later on.

In comparison to traditional NTW commentaries, I don't think that this one proves quite as entertaining. But that is my own personal view on it. I feel that commentaries
should be slower paced and more explicit. Nevertheless a good video.

You told me specifics and you gave your own personal view of it and that is the perfect answer to this thread. + Rep

Well judging from the traditional commentaries of most players. Slower paced commentaries are common and I post those types of videos daily, but I get bored a lot with games, and same old commentaries that aren't diverse and have no variety of interest. (which I try to provide)

So My "starcraft style commentary" is only for adrenaline, suspense, to keep viewers interest high, and to provide a sense of diversity. Well Im only finding new ways to gain the interest of viewers, so this video was only an example of the many videos I could make in the same style. So thanks for your reply.

I liked the adrenaline and style of the whole setting, it was, as you tried to do: more exciting than the traditional commentaries.

Certainly hard to decide, I think you should try another one. Good start. Try again, seems like a very good start!

I love that music. I think it was from 28 days later wasn't it? Anyway I feel like others that the commentry gets a bit lost with the increased speed of delivery. I much prefer your slower, more thoughtful commentaries which are excellent.

Perhaps with such a fire fight it would also have been possible to cease commentary briefly and turn the music up to enjoy a particular cavalry charge or whatever. I've seen Saiedz do this and it makes his videos the most enjoyable to watch on YouTube in my opinion. Anyway, much rep to you good Sir, for what are great videos.

Thanks and I will try what you suggested. =D

Haha, you sound quite stressed in that battle tbh. But it was good, keep it up

I didn't quite like it Point_Man I think your longer arech better for new players to watch and learn from an experienced guy like you. I also enjoy them much more myself, I watch them all becauseI'm your biggest fan Here have a

I like that analogy a lot although I would add that it's a game of chess using the most beautifully crafted pieces which when viewed in detail are themselves a thing of wonder.

*steals cookie from Mjr Piles brother because I've got the munchies*

I'm your biggest fan Point_Man.

It is good, BUT:

I think it would be better if you paused a bit every now and then and took in a deep sexy breath . . . .
