Recording Your Game-Play

[hech54]

Here's some tips for ya'
NOBODY wants to see a video of you playing a video game.
If someone tells you they want to see you playing your video game...they're lying.

OK...that's off my chest now.

Are you sure? Are you really sure?

I just recorded 10 minutes of my stats on Assassins Creed 2 since I finished it and all the trophies and 100% of the Villa.

I can convert the m2ts file from my hauppauge hdpvr and upload this weekend. It's really MUST SEE TV!

But yes in general I'd probably agree with you.

HOWEVER there is a major major exception:

Showing how to beat a stage in a game.

THat is one reason to watch. Sometimes the best detailed maps and description don't compare to actuallY SEEING what the hell it is you're supposed to be doing.

Also: regarding fighting games especifically, often it's quite helpful to see
how to defeat a boss, or how to perform cool combos.

@el Heggunte - regarding combos - actually it'd be more helpful to have the user record themselves hitting the buttons on the controller with a split screen of the action. Sometimes I never bother with combos because I don't want to take the time to memorize them and some are impossible to pull off anyway (though I'm not much of a fighter fan - THE STREET FIGHTER TYPE -)
