My Let's Play Star Trek Online Videos

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I've just started a new series on Youtube, my first ever, of Let's Play Star Trek Online now that it has gone Free to Play. I probably screwed it up badly, but i'm sure everyone will let me know :p

I plan to do about 2 episodes a week, which will contain 2 storyline missions each, around 45M videos. My first time doing this, and uploading to Youtube, so my channel sucks right now. Anyway, perhaps this might help some F2P players learn the game.

Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/JustGaming4Us

First video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKgA9Cg1jg0&context=C393c87bADOEgsToPDskLtGgAXWuBFd6mCGwKG5iqf

Second Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EATaUyegN6g&context=C3332436ADOEgsToPDskK4L3d2d4fzqDys-AMwcpgv

Third Video - http://youtu.be/f1e-OSRm004

Fourth Video - http://youtu.be/ck4RRCyRHkI

Appreciate the views and feedback. I plan to extend to other games in the future, but starting with STO as my love for STO knows no bounds.

    Hey Doc

    I watched the first part, is that a squeaky chair or have you got a hamster keeping your PC running ;)

    I love what you're trying to do here, it's really a great idea and I think many will find it useful and informative. Do you mind if I make a couple of observations?

    Run through it first so you are not surprised by what has changed
    Make a script on your trial run
    Edit it down, a lot, way too long if you want to keep their interest.

    other than that fantastic idea, I share your love for the game and thank you for your efforts.

    Matt

    Thanks for the feedback!

    -Yes, squeaky chair, I'll spray some stuff on it so it won't do that anymore :p

    -I think part of the interest is in doing this the "first time" so to speak, allows me to easily tell f2p'ers how it was, I wanted to play through fresh again now that its f2p and see what the changes are, so that's part of the information to impart

    -I agree run-time was long, I was thinking the whole first video through the tutorial would be 45M in length, but it ended up being 1 hour and 12 minutes, and I had to break it up into two videos, the next ones won't be so long cause I won't have to explain things like I did in the Intro video. I'll make sure to keep each video under 45 minutes, run-time is definitely forefront on my mind.

    Thanks for the input, I hope you watch the 2nd video, it really dives into the tutorial.

    Nicely put together, although if you're hoping to help out some new players, you may want to try to use the full names more often. I noticed you would talk about 'torps' or say 'I just have my tac'.

    I know you're talking about your photon torpedo launcher, or referring to the fact that you only have a single bridge officer who's a tactical officer, but someone new might not. (And I had to think for a second when you said you 'just had a tac'.)

    gotcha! good feedback, i'll make sure to say full names in the future

    my next video is simply going to be going around ESD, showing what's there, equipping my ship, character and BO's, so I'll explain a lot of that there

    Congratz for the videos. There hasn't been much video coverage of STO in a while. Looking forward to more ;)

    We definitely need more videos like these!

    Agreed, I want to get the word out there more about STO in the world, more coverage, more gaming, show people what its like.

    Make sure to give my DX11 vs. DX9 performance review a read too:

    http://hardocp.com/article/2012/01/17/star_trek_online_dx11_performance_review

    Just another thing I'm doing to help gamers. There will be more STO performance reviews when Cryptic updates DX11, and NV/AMD update drivers for STO.

    For your reference, I believe one of the best STO 'Let's Play's is We can still blame it all on Admiral Janeway. The videos are about the game, the same way yours are, but the humor and character work in the posts around the videos takes it to the next level.

    It was slightly amusing that you tried to use the fact that you can run into different rooms in the tutorial as proof that the game was not linear, when it in fact is. (Which, btw, I have no problem with, but you shouldnt try to mislead people into thinking it is some kind of sandbox simply because you can run into different rooms on a mission map).

    I have more videos up now, worth checking out. I plan to upload a couple more by weeks end.

    Also, an announcement, I'll fully be covering the new FE's each week.

    I'll play through, first run, each FE on Saturday and record it, and encode video and upload the video on the same day of the new FE, every Saturday, each week. I'll start a new playlist in Youtube. So stay tuned for full FE coverage!
