Quick Feedback from the GTA V Fans and the Fans of the series...

[Strength]

After reading the YouTube rant earlier in one of the topics from here, I started to wander what interest you as fans of the series, GTA V players, newcomers to the series or just a casual players the most when you are searching for a game's related content on any site that offers video viewing services???

 

1.) What interest you the most??? (you can answer simply by voting)

 

2.) What is your base of entertainment when you are looking for a game's content to watch on YT???

 

3.) Did the game simply disappointed you so much, that you are not bothering anymore with it or you will simply watch just anything, that is served to you via masses of famous YT gamers and probably for the most part, just waste your time with something already seen and done before?

I have to be perfectly clear now. As a GTA fan from day one who has been into the series for 15 years and spent thousands and thousands of hours on GTA games, following every bit of info for years about anything GTA related (I am no different than most of you ), writhing my own GTA stories, doing a few machinimas and a couple of mods back in the day and that sort of things. I recently started to make my own GTA V related videos. A series of episodes that are based of survival from cops, GTA V gangs, army and enemy A.I. in general. A force that we all generally love and appreciate in GTA V.

 

Let's face it, enemy A.I. in this game is generally improved from previous games. Cops are extra brutal on 5 stars and if you don't act quickly (sometimes I have been gunned down myself with just one shot) or have a proper knowledge of the world, you can end up dead in a matter of seconds. Also, a subject (A.I.'s difficulty) that is being talked about for months now in this section of the forums.

 

To get on the point, I recorded my own (I could call that a style of play) rampages, where I follow the particular routes while battling the enemy's A.I. on the way to evade the heat and survive. For starters that are extra hard and brutal with a lot of kills (and kill cams) on Free Aim with a white dot, a lot of explosions, cinematic camera while driving or flying and a hell lot of details noticeable to the eye that this (in my own opinion) amazing game has to offer. You see, I actually invested my skills into motion that I posses in the game.

 

I also recorded everything in the SP (no love for single player anymore?) and most episodes were made in the first shot (it's up to a viewer to try and find where I edited the video). Camera, Lights, Action. Doing everything from the first time around can sometimes be extremity hard and stressful, but very rewarding in fun and experience after achieving and recording something like this from the first try, .

 

I invested a lot of my free time into my GTA series and a lot of gaming will and skills, primly because I wanted to have some nice memories of my gaming days and to show to the people how to deal with the cops in style and survive or maybe just interest people on GTA Online to try it together. But, when I compare how much of time did I put into recording, editing and trying to make everything look not just watchable and easy, then better than most that is offered today. I start to wonder why can't I for once interest more then a few hundred people into something that I made and find more than special and fun like those people do??? Or at least bring the awareness of GTA players (for starters who are similar to me) who has been there from a day one or are just interested in a old bit of the old ultra-violence with police? Can anyone please explain to me, what am I doing wrong? Or am I so old fashioned and live in the past glory GTA days, when cops rampages were actually fun and challenging to do and this series was to people something that matters? Which is it?

 

I don't care about subscriptions, likes or dislikes at all. Just about any kind of structured feed or some recognition as a long therm GTA fan and player. Or is that too much to ask?

 

I would appreciate any kind of feed on this on, because I am getting real tired of getting ignored by the people. The same people who share the love as me for the GTA series.

I really like videos where people just derp around doing random and funny sh*t. One example is this:

 

 

 

sorry if the above doesnt work I do not know how to do it

[strakan7]

I dont think your alone in your appreciation for the series. If I had a capture card, I would be making Top Gear episodes with the cars and generally fooling around in my imagination land. For me, though, I dont generally watch videos of games except the trailers. I like to see people do the odd cool stuff but I rarely go on a search to find out what people have been up to.

Maybe when I have a more stable internet connection I will endeavour to look for machinima groups and/or episodical spoofs but for now, Im happy forum-stalking.

[AGiganticLlama]

I enjoy finding out about future announcements and DLC the most

Same here. In particular speedyw03, VanossGaming and OfficialNerdCubed. For something more serious like car lap times, Broughy1322 has some great videos.

[THE_TREVALEV]

Meh, I don't watch videos. I just don't see how recording game play and begging for people to like, share, comment, and recommend is a business. I come here for all GTA V news and discussions.

[Strength]

Ok. Since I didn't get the answer to my specific questions. Would anyone who is a fan of the series, a game or just a casual GTA player be interest into machinima series of 5 STARS survivals and rampages against enemy A.I. (cops, army, gangs) on GTA V? That are potrayed with a lot of details (recorded from the world itself), cinematic driving, flying or boating, free aim handling of a any weapon, new methods, tips & tricks of how to survive the POLICE menace in each new episode and seeing skills at work in general? Or is that an old fashioned thing that carry the roots from previous games? Please do answer.

PC is more entertaining in terms of entertainment, things such as mods and the previous game had the in-game Video Editor which I'm hoping GTA V will have when it's released on PC.

[Bozzah]

it's just "a thing" (not a dick ) that makes me buy these games... I cannot describe it, it's ALWAYS worth the money, I rarely experience this with other games.

You get a game that can be played for days without seeing a glance of daylight and you still want to play it.

There's always lots of things to explore, lots of stunts... you can be really creative

 

and the online mode improved A LOT since gta iv...

 

I don't want to point out all the things that I like about the gta games, each one of them is kinda unique and thus I can still play gta vice city without actually missing something from gta IV or V (beside the graphics)

[SingularSoul]

 

 

This. Nuff' said.

[Vanto]

I enjoy mostly stunt montages, funny moments and machinimas.

[Overmenneske]

I just signed up here, so my sentiment may not count for much (I have lurked for years, though).

Still - I'm going ahead.

 

I liked you videos very much. You are obviously skilled, and you have some ideas I haven't even tried myself (loved the ladder escape).

I do however think that your genre of GTA movies never will come close to the "big guys" in terms of views, subscribers and so forth. The reason for that simply being that what you do is something we all do, and AI-battling is not as fun to watch as real folks duking it out. Also, you have to act spastic and screaming in order to draw the big crowd. Wouldn't you rather have cred? That's what you have now, and it is infinitely better in my opinion.

 

Keep making 'em, and I will keep watching 'em. Just don't expect too much feedback from anyone. The Internet is big.

Those are generally the videos that I enjoy most. I liked the video you did in the thread you started with the chase up the crane, and actually I have been messing around with chases up the crane ever since lol. I'm always interested in new places I can use for an advantage over the police or just watching new places that I don't use much for police chases.

 

Occasionally I'll watch video's about news of dlc or whatever, though I mostly watch videos I find on here and don't necessarily go to youtube seeking them out.

Your sentiment means a lot to me at least! Even more that you signed up here to post your opinion on the matter. Kudos man. Well I have to admit I was never interested into ˝YT fame˝ or big base of people (where half of them can't even post a simple structured sentence or post a true opinion). I would be just happy to have a smaller base of viewers like you, who will offer from time to time a true and honest feed and appreciation or actually try out some of the methods themselves, like PineboxFiller did and implement some of the stuff seen into your own fun.

 

My interests are not to collect easy points and exploit people's attention for likes, subs and other bullsh*t. Like most of the ˝gamers˝ do today. Something that would benefit mostly me. I simply want to make new (gaming) friends and meet the admirers of gaming skills and interest people into the game again and in old-school type of fun (that become quite challenging this days on GTA). Anyway, thank you for the support//kind words and stay tuned for more Ultra Violent's encounters with cops in Southern part of San Andreas.

 

PineboxFiller: Thanks man.

Looking forward to it! Hard to find genuine videos like yours.

[jlamay]

How does one pick just one thing they love/like?

 

I love the Machinimas videos. I still love that video they made of GTA 4 called "Dangerous for Societ." I really would like to see them make a video of GTA 5. Or if anyone else can make good videos like that one.

 

And I love the Myth videos. I love seeing what people have found or think they have found. I love seeing if they found something out in the game that I haven't found yet.

 

I also love the Stunt videos. I think some people do good stunt videos that are very cool to watch.

 

Music videos. I love watching people's music videos that they make with good music that fits the characters and the gameplay.

 

Videos of Funny Moments are funny too.

I have no interest in watching others play GTA V. I'd rather just play it myself, which I still do. It's the same for most games - I never watch these Let's Play videos or anything. I don't really care about the music or machina videos either.

 

I voted for Publisher content videos because anything Rockstar releases themselves like trailers and stuff is usually what excites me. The only other GTA videos I like are the ones that focus on the world itself and the details like the one SingularSoul posted above.
