Seems like a mixed reaction to the voiceover. Either way, this voiceover was a test to get feedback before I try it out on variety content, I'll only do it again for risk content if I need more feedback, or if I just simply end up preferring the commentary style AND enough of you do as well.
@@CGPlays See my comments on your other comment. But it has potential for sure! Also some of the editing/ filling in commentary is a nice thing. Less of the wait. I just realized that normally I skip parts where there is a lot of waiting, and I did not do that in this video since you kept it interesting during those times.
It’s not bad but it feels like a post game event where the announcer talk about how the game went, I do like your in the moment action better you seem more excited for the games when they live
I think I generally prefer the live commentary at least for Risk content, though you could use voiceover as well if there's something you forgot to mention live that you'd like to add in?
either works. the only difference i can see would be voice over you'd be able to pause and thoroughly explain what's happening. but doing it live will let you come up with stuff on the fly which you might forget later on during a voice over. again either is good but perhaps no voice over is better plus saves you from doing extra work
I don't feel like risk needs voiceover, it does fine with normal commentary. I just tried voiceover first here to get people's feedback. I'm actually more interested in using it for variety content. In the future, I might experiment with doing voiceover in present tense, or do a bit of acting and pretend like it's real-time commentary. I don't know yet, I'm just experimenting. I want to put more work into my videos to make them better and I'm curious if doing voiceovers will improve the quality of my variety content.
I think you are on the right track, I loved some of the hindsights, but also missed some of the tension and you felt "evenly rushed". It did not fully immerse me the way live commentary does, where there is tension'on the game, but als relaxation when a plan comes together (the tension is now more on the clock, to get the comments out.). Maybe commenting more like David Attenborough in a documentary might get the tension and hindsight combo? but I feel that needs more time to prepare on the build up so maybe not ideal for you. (is there a way to mark time stamps during gameplay? I feel it might help you a lot when looking back. then you can jump to these points which you have marked as interesting)
I think normal commentary is better suited for risk, but maybe you could interject if you thought of another option in hindsight that may have been better or should have thought about more.
Cg i gotta admit. The post game commentary was fine but i missed the guessing what people are going to do and it has less emotion with it. Something that might work (but thats from me so dont put too much mind to it) is that you tell us less what is gonna happen but stay more into talking about what they did and where your decisions come from. Still a good match though! I think breaking him was the right choice so that purple didnt have those extra 5 troops that turn and it all worked out! Well played
@CGPlays funny story, I've been watching the long risk videos on your second channel, thinking they were main channel videos lmaoo. Risk is the only stuff I've watched from you so far and I also prefer live commentary
I gave your other stuff a chance but didnt like it that much. I enjoy your risk content way more. But with this voicover I had a hard time enjoying the video.
@@CGPlaysNo i watch almost every video on your channel i come across😅 i just was super into risk as a kid and i just love learning from your risk gameplay
Definitely prefer the live commentary. It keeps the suspense of guessing what everybody will do and your voice has more energy to it which keeps me interested. And yes I watch the other content too and I don’t think I would like it there either
Honestly kinda weird to say but I prefer when you struggle between commentating and playing, makes for a more immersive watch, similar to the stress I go through when I'm playing myself, making tough decisions and what not. But if from time to time you wanna integrate this voiceover thing for better focus hence better gameplay, by all means
I mostly agree with quinten on the emotion point; you're more "you" as you get into your opponents' heads in real time. However, voiceover CG is quality CG in an intriguing flavor of its own. Perhaps V.O. is the mode to pick when you're first in the turn order -- you know how you hate the pressure during map analysis! Do I exclusively watch your Risk content? No, but I exclusively watch all three channels' UA-cam content, following new videos and 7mo old backlog as the Algorithm metes it out.
I’ve been watching a lot of your risk content over the last month and I’ve got to say I’m a fan. I have it on while I work and enjoy getting distracted when a good game is on. I need to make a start on your variety content. Re: post game commentary, I think I prefer the live reactions on risk because I love your reactions but it’s definitely a good move to do post commentary on other games. See arksolo and floydson as I enjoy their voice over commentary style.
I think the post commentary is good but it removes the feeling as if were playing with you trying to guess what their going to do and what move you make.
CG I will never again question why you worry about people coming back from botting out. Just had an infuriating game against a scumbag who did it and I lost the game. Dude created the lobby and had set bots to neutral so they wouldn't attack and just kept stacking. And he came back in the endgame with his cap troops
I'll be honest, completely unrelated to the voice over, but I MUCH prefer fixed cards over progressive because it forces for strategy. Progressive you just sit back, build up cards, get a kill, use those cards to snowball to a win. Fixed is based on taking risks and positioning, where if you can't position your troops right or are unwilling to take risks, the game stalemates. I don't think you'll see this CG but if you do, I'd love more fixed card games (or if there's alot of them and im just a dumbass, a playlist or smth would be chill)
I somehow won 2 games in a row in progressive😭 One of them were a master included (btw im a novice and I’ve been only watching cg plays and kill Pete strategy
I’ve always felt voiceovers for the sake of analysis are good, but otherwise I always prefer live. For me, at least, it detracts from “I’m watching a guy play a game” to “I’m listening to a guy who’s telling me how he played a game”. And I prefer being in the moment than reviewing it afterwards. Wouldn’t be opposed if it came out every once in a while but wouldn’t like it as a majority
I watch only risk videos unless a thumb nail catches my attention across your 3 channels but prefer live reactions especially if someone gets hit or something, maybe acting like you said in another comment but wouldn’t be sure unless I watched it.
I find progresive caps is the most boring game mode with zero strategy other than these two either try and snowbal kill everyone or make giant stack kill people a much better easy strategy which is so boring

smart move. that way you don't have to provide commentary on every match, especially those that will never be posted.
I think normal commentary is better suited for risk, but maybe you could interject if you thought of another option in hindsight that may have been better or should have thought about more.
Hey man is something going on? This is your last risk video after four months.

0:09 actually makes the +4 and extended 2 point hold
Hi CG, I think that live commentary is better because I like your genuine reactions when your opponents do something weird or aggressive.
Any commentary from you is amazing, in-game or post game is fine with me❤❤
post commentary was great, should definitely do it more often!
I mostly agree with quinten on the emotion point; you're more "you" as you get into your opponents' heads in real time. However, voiceover CG is quality CG in an intriguing flavor of its own.

Live commentary is much more exciting. Missing the guessing part.
Awesome of you for trying new things. i think its the only way to improve, but tbh i definetly prefer live commentary
Yes I've only watched your risk videos

I like the post game commentary but i rather prefer how it was previously because it had more thought process involved

I prefer the in game live voice rather than post editing voice over.

Wie bekommt man Gold um das Spiel zu Spielen? Muss man das immer kaufen wenn man Spielen will?
Was really confused about all the talk about killing blue when blue had more troops than you. But yeah the live commentary is definitely better.
Question: is risk the only thing you watch on my channel?
@@CGPlays yep. You and Kill Pete are my risk go-to 😄
I’ve always felt voiceovers for the sake of analysis are good, but otherwise I always prefer live.

I think the live commentary is a lot better, but there might be a different game that thisworks well for but i don't think risk is that game.

Great game, post commentary is alright
Spoiler Shield
Great game. I see why they call you cg (cool games) plays 😎
I don't really like post commentary but, idk maybe there is a reason for it.
Not the move ngl
Hey ch can you play chess
I find progresive caps is the most boring game mode with zero strategy other than these two either try and snowbal kill everyone or make giant stack kill people a much better easy strategy which is so boring
If im gonna be honest thr progressive card bonus ruins the whole point of the game so if you see this comment pls do a game with normal card bonuses
