Starting Let's Play. Would like some constructive criticism.

[CoffeeDrive]

Well, I'll try to make this the most constructive I can: Don't make a Let's Play of Katawa Shoujo!

And because I want to be constructive I'll tell you why:

There's aboslutely no reason to do such a thing. A Let's Play is a nice thing to
a) have a look at a game to decide whether it is worth your money or
b) when you have decided a game is not worth your money but you want to have a look at it anyway.

Katawa Shoujo doesn't cost any money! Heck the bandwidth for downloading it is only a fraction of all the youtube videos of a Let's Play.

And when you download it and read it yourself you get the benefit of not having to listen to that irritating and juvenile voiceover. Honestly you and your friend(s?) joking and giggling while Hisao is having his heart attack is killing every bit of immersion and atmosphere 4LS worked so hard to put in there. I don't even want to know what you did to romantic scenes or - heaven forbid - the H-scenes.

And why are you reading the text out loud to your watchers in the first place? Assume they can't read? It's right there on the screen in front of them. I can sort of understand why some Let's Players do this in some games when the script is too small to read on the video, but that's clearly not an issue here.

Finally, if someone installs the VN and reads it himself, they can continue at their own pace and don't have to wait for you to get the voice right or finish doing jokes that don't have anything to do with the VN. It was easily legible without even toggling full screen.

So every aspect of watching KS as a Let's Play is an inferior experience to reading it yourself.

You, and all your kind are lowly lickspittles, weaklings, pathetic fools.
You are not a critic, you just own a keyboard.

He asked for constructive criticism, thats what he got, your intervention was not necessary.

So several people have already explained why you shouldn't do an LP of KS, but I thought I should point out a practical difficulty as well: Do you really want to read out 480k words? That's longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy!

You are not a critic

I, however, am a critic. And I say it's a bad idea.

So, can anyone here define "lickspittle"? It sounds blowjobby.

From what I gather, it's somebody who fawns over people in power.

Like...A sycophant?

Yeah, basically. Almost exactly that.

Poor OP

Wow, i'm gone for how long and someone actually uses my "Kenji Plays Katawa Shoujo Insta-feels" video to make a point.
Noice.
