Firstly to start off I wanna say this is in no way a promotion for my youtube channel, but rather just a general question I want to ask other gamers (non derogatory) I've been wondering about for a while now.
A little backstory, I've been doing gaming youtube content for around half a year now and one of the things I always struggle with is the format and how to keep it fresh and new rather than essentially just remaking content that others make.
Personally I feel that I hardly find gaming content worth watching at this point and so I want to do my best to try to distinct myself from the crowd.
Generally speaking I feel that most gaming content that I see now falls into one of several categories: game analysis/essay, playthroughs (although that's become less popular over all), or challenge runs; And I think that for the most part that shit has just been exhausted.
So here are the two question I have for other people who like to watch gaming content on youtube:
1. Who are some gaming youtubers you feel genuinely have a unique style that's refreshing to watch?
2. What are some styles/formats of content you feel you don't see enough, but wish you did?
I personally have been making sort of highly edited, high effort play-through (I guess would be the most fitting term?) videos of a variety of games that I personally have interest in (everything from the original fallout games to all capital G Gamer's favourite 3D platformer: Bubsy 3D),
where I try to have actually good story telling, comedy and live action bits interspersed to keep things fresh.
And personally I really like the type of content I do, but seeing as these videos aren't particularly doing well (which I know in part is due to the fact that "making it" on youtube is just a long ardous journey), it sort of makes me question whether or not other people are really interested in this type of content.
Again, I am not trying to promote myself in anyway, just genuinely wanted to hear other people's opinion on the matter which could hopefully help organize my brain a bit.
I don't know how to wrap this post up so I'll do it the way you do with an email
Thanks in advanced,
Me.
