Bird Mania 3D - a pair of reviews

@GamingPixelShow

Personally, I find that when you have a video showing someone talking throughout the whole thing, it never seems to work, so if I were you, I'd show mostly gameplay (whilst you're doing the talking) then occasionally show a few seconds of you standing infront of the camera.

Just my personal opinion, but I'm probably wrong, seeing as my youtube channel is a complete flop :)

Hey thanks Motherbrain! I will try it next time. I will switch back and forth from gameplay to myself in front of the camera. Anything else people?

I agree with Motherbra1n, your commentary was not bad, but you need more (and larger) gameplay footage. Also, as much as I agree with your review of the game, try not to repeat yourself too often in the video. There were a few points where you said the same things twice, also try and cut back on "like and "but." Maybe break it into segments (Gameplay, controls, graphics, music, etc...) then recap at the end. All of which you did, but it felt loosely organized.
I did like that you found good points in the game to point out, even though it may be hard to do for this game (it's a meh for sure...)
Try and touch on some details a little more as well, you talked about how you switched from analog control to stylus, but u didn't mention the use of the x and b button (not a big deal, but still).
Lastly, how did you come up with the 6/10 rating? First I don't agree, it's not a 6 it's much lower, though that's your choice to make not mine, but mainly try and give some meaning to the rating by giving it backing. If it's a 6/10 what would it take to make it a 7? Personally, I would try to stay away from rating too highly (which most reviewers do), it is OK for a good (average) game to be a 7.
On the overall though, good work. It takes a lot to put something like this together and to be open to public feedback.
Keep at it, and if RMC keeps posting, I'll keep watching.

You've definitely been improving from video to video. It's very noticeable. Nice progress!

I'd also agree with motherbrain. Maybe try one where you start out talking to the camera, then shift the focus to the gameplay. In this video, I'd say that would be around the 1:02 mark.

But, you do have a funny personality, so don't completely cut yourself out. Maybe do the intro and outro. I'd also cut back to your "wonky eyes", because that was great.

Keep up the good work!
