General questions :)

1. When some company (not network) want you to make a walkthru of a game, how are you supposed to do this? The video get really bad reviews unless you make like 3 gameplay videos first as a practice. Usually you have 2-3 days to do this and if you release a gameplay video you fail and retired gamplay videos does not count as "practice".

2. When your network approach you to make a "Speed run" within a certain date, what do you do? I have read that a speed run requires 3 gameplays and 3 walkthrus to become successful.
When approached by the network with this request you usually have 2-3 weeks, so in theory you might be able to make it but will the gameplay and walkthru videos make you fail as when the companies ask you?

2b. When I have done 3 gameplays and 3 walkthrus the interest for a speedrun is like 0-1% when the game itself might have 80-100% interest.

3. Is there an ending to the game as it stands today?
I have almost 7mill subs and more money then I could ever use. ($500.000?)

4. The achievements, I count like 6 or 7 that I should have had, like the ones for moving from home to home. One for 100.000.000 views and so on. I see others have them...

5. Do others experience after the latest update that they have to go thru 5 levels of hardware to get the best hardware. Like you have to buy 5 pcs when opening a new computer space. I'd like to be able to buy the best equipment right away. Today I bought like 5 pcs, monitors, mics, cameras and so on to get the workstation one par with the rest.

6. The social media function, is it useful? Does it give you more views or subs?
I haven't tried it yet.

7. Collaberators that I have hired have very high editing skills, some have over 200 in all video skills but when you hire them it's reduced to 100 and 100 is then max. I studied a intermediate skill that took 10 days(!) and it should give me 8 points in entertainment, I only got two because I was at 98...

8. When I try to talk to highly skilled youtubers with other skills then gaming they usually never want to talk?

9. I always lose 10k subs when apparing on other channels after becomming #1 youtuber?

1)

2-3 days for a walkthrough? what? i've never gotten that, you get almost an entire month to do those. you need to make at least 3 other videos for a walkthrough to be okay. i usually do 3 gameplay and a review followed by an walkthrough. the more people you have the easier it becomes, since you can just assign 3 people to do a gameplay video at once and after those you send one to do a review and chain a 2nd guy to do a walkthrough right after. those don't have to be done by the same person, everyone in your crew will "know" the game enough after everyone just played it once. also you can upload every single video in the process. it doesn't ever fail until the time runs out.


2)

you can do as many videos as you want, it won't ever fail.
AGAIN -> you can UPLOAD ALL OF THEM. it will only fail after the time ran out. so no matter how many times you upload gameplay/walkthrough, it doesn't matter even after you out up a speedrun it doesn't matter should it not have gotten enough views. you can just try again.

2b) i would assume that only 6 videos aren't enough really, i've never gotten a high score on speedruns myself yet, but just maybe you aren't supposed to get high ratings? i mean maybe there just aren't that many people that want to see a speedrun.. idk


3)

in the latest update they did put in an ending, it appears as soon as you've moved to the space station and the credits roll. if you want to get all achievements, you get all the time you want. my mainsave has 3mio $ and 16mio subs and there still wasn't every single console released. kinda annoying having to wait for so long just to get the console collector achievement.


4)

have you started playing the game when achievements just got introduced? you won't get them after that, you'd have to play it again, achievements get triggered when certain things are met, if you already had those, it can't trigger any longer. try making a new save if you want to get those.. i know that the 15mio sub achievement is bugged, if you get a phonecall and answer correctly to get +5% more subs, it doesn't trigger. this late in the game you get around 600k subs from that. so try to land somewhere around 14.970.000 and grind the rest yourself or it won't work.


5)

i assume that was patched in to avoid bugs that the previous build had. you could get stuck on old gear without any new one appearing or accidentally "downgrade" your pc without ever getting it back up.


6)

which one? uploading photos? or the one to boost your videos using $$$?
the photos are pretty pointless i feel, if there was some kind of feedback from fans saying "hey look at him + 0,01% subs" etc. that would be better, but as it stands i think it's useless.

the video boosting helps crazy much. yes it gets more and more expesive and you always want to choose the most expensive one as those are better options than the smaller ones, but those grant more subs. at the start you will lose money (mums home etc.) by doing that, but once you got enough subs, you won't pay that much for it. in my example. if i pay 880$ to boost a video and the video gets me 5000$ it's still worth it, even if there's only 10 new subs, because the more the better and that late in the game you have enough money anyway.

early in the game you get a huge amount of new subs from it (it becomes way harder around 7mio subs)


7)

yup, it's weird but for now 100 seems to be max.


8)

i think it's random, i for once didn't even find a single other game npc and my whole save.


9)

well...you're the best, if you show someone else, what else can happen? just never do it. it's not worth it. i havn't noticed anyones friendbar dropping from declining that yet. so i think it's save to always deny that question.
