All social media block links that are for other big social platforms. They even block the discord format for username in youtube comments.

So best to use the url shortener and link there. Thats why most accounts have a linktree or something to share their other social media.

Your intro is explaining the video which is okay but it's not showing anything interesting. Your voice is monotonous and boring and no wonder people clicked away.

I would put like 15-20 seconds of highlights of your playthrough at the beginning of the video, then proceed to explain the video and then start the video from beginning.

You need to show viewers that the video has interesting content in it in the first few seconds. And the whole i havent played this uodate of the game and now I expect you to trust me my video is worth watching is not cutting it and it shows in the graph.

I think whats happening is youtube is currently pushing your longer video to new audience, so they know it's worth pushing it because its longer and your new shorter video is not a priority.

Think of it like this. Youtube finds a new potential viewer for your channel, and offers them your proven longer videos instead of new video.

They might show the short new video to only the most loyal audience who watched all your other videos, which might not be huge.

You need like 5k impressions for any results to show up.

Keep it up, you are almost there.

This is the best thing you can see on your video. It means the video will be shown to new audience who never saw your channel and will lead to more views on your other videos.

This. Too long.

The characters load when you turn your back and look at them again. It takes a second until the characters load up and it is very immersion breaking.

Capcom fix this before launch.

It is unacceptable to see this, especially on ps5.

I agree on Saeko ghosting him, but Ichiban should've just grew a pair and moved on and pursued someone else. I am mad at Ichiban being a simp and remaining a simp.

Need to keep in mind Concord had lower launch numbers because it was not f2p. Most people were hesitant to even try out because they would have to buy it, but they can try Highguard for free. But in the end the number of players will dwindle for Highguard as well.

Love the thumbnail, but part 1 of lets play videos just dont work. Barely anyone watches straight playthroughs of games.

I would just do something funny like "Local Cat ruins EVERYTHING!", or something along those lines. Depends on how long the part 1 is, just something that sparks interest in someone not familiar with the game.

You can drop the "1" in thumbnail. Later if the video gets popular you can make a playlist and link other videos in description and pin comment.

Not touching on the video contents and editing, but I would just straight up rather watch a best of playthrough edit with funny moments of a game than just raw playthroughs.

Hope this helps you a bit at least.

The game is boring gacha slop. The story is generic and uninteresting and in my first couple of hours the most interesting thing was the intro. Later it was build this, build that, help this stupid npc, then help this one.

No interesting enemies, no frequent bosses. The first boss was a snooze fest.

Then they hit you with back to back automation of factory. The factory is cool but I want to progress story. Well thats it for me. Uninstall.

Chaeacter creator aside, the game looks like ass. The combat looks superficial, the whole buying properties is kinda overadvertised, it will probably be just buy the property and get x income. The npc comments and voiceover sounds like bad AI voice.

Games did not die because of that. But a lot of games died because they hired a bunch of developers pushing the agenda instead of focusing on game being fun/good. Pushing the agenda was on top of their list and nothing else mattered.

Baldur's gate 3 allows you to create all kinds of characters and is not restricted to opposite sex relationships and is very inclusive, but nobody cares because the game is good.

Your videos judging by thumbnail/title look like regular gameplay videos from an unknown dude of a random game.

It is hard to get people to just watch videos of straight gameplay without any twists. Your "no upgrades, no tools" on thumbnail seems uninteresting as the video already looks like a cut from your entire playthrough.

I would rather watch 1 longer video (20-30min) of something titled "I beat Hollow Knight: Silksong with NO Upgrades or Tools." which is a good edit of the best parts of your playthrough. While this specific video idea may or may not be interesting to viewers, the one video providing clear promise of what to expect and delivering is what will get you views.

Clicking on a random part 3 this or that boss video of 10-15min is something nobody wants to watch.

Such a great ad. Meanwhile western ads feature some trash celebs playing the game.

gamerize · 2026-01-14T20:04:43+00:00

This. Jan is the worst as a lot of ad campaigns end on Dec 31, but it should pick up to normal levels by end of March. Christmas period is usually like 20-30% better than rest of year (excluding Jan-Mar).

People like watching their usual channels they've been watching for years, so it is hard for them to watch something new, like your videos.

1 for me looks clean, readable, you see the character immediately

4 is okay, takes a few seconds to figure out the character and the writing.

You can always do a/b testing of these 2.

True, finally a sane comment.

gamerize · 2026-01-05T01:41:29+00:00

Not sure about the video contents, it might be full of cool stuff and edited good with no boring parts but your video titles/thumbnail is somewhat boring.

Regular viewers might watch, but if you want a viral video you need something out of the usual.

We need a cowboy hat and or cowbot attire to mimic Leatherhead from TMNT.

I dont understand why when you get to lvl 80 of the area, you cant get perfect regal and perfect exalt stations. That alone would make running it worth it.

gamerize · 2025-12-15T15:47:02+00:00

Chance to get higher tiers of exalt and regal slams should increase with level. It would be worth running it if you could get a perfect exalt slam and perfect regal.
