    You spend at least a year, even more most of the time, playing through the same game with different builds, over and over.
    You don't get paid much.
    Your time isn't spent playing the game really - you're just finding ways to 'break' it, and that's not really all that enjoyable once it gets serious, and then you have to document all of that shit.
    You're probably not going to be testing a game that you actually enjoy.
    All ways working in over time. Stuff like that.
    You're better off trying your luck in the developing team.

    I got into CS in college because of thid video.. I was so comfused about my major, but when i watched this 4 years ago I realised what I wanted to become...but after getting deep into the subject, i realised games are the scum of computers, there is so much more to see, but people are just too lazy to care...but thanks for the how to..helped me with my life.

  • @KingKafei
    @KingKafei 12 лет назад

    no but I've read plenty about it from people who do game testing.
    All you do is constantly try to find bugs and glitches and when you do find one, you have to log every single thing you did that may have caused the glitch or bug to happen. It's not a fun thing like sitting at home and getting to play video games all day the way they are supposed to be played.

    @atastywanton
    Beta testing is what companies use to get consumer input without paying for all the time and space it would take to hold a focus group, which generates a smaller pool of data from a group that may or may not even be interested in that genre begin with. I think it's fair to say that that beta testers are the next step after actual in house testers who know the ins and outs of testing every aspect of the game and push the programming to cause fatal errors and crashes. As beta tester, we chosen few thousands just test the gameplay, story, visual appeal, difficulty (how long it takes to progress through the story or gain levels, gain in-game currency to keep up gear, etc). Besides, it's cheaper to allow you to keep your beta data or give you perks or in-game promos or whatever it may be along those kinda lines, than it is to pay you to spend a day or a week or a month trying it and paying for a space for focus groups and paying travel, and accommodations and etc.

    Depends what game. Sometimes the developers don't mind, but sometimes they do. You can always upload video games to youtube, but some video games you cannot monetize videos of.

    I tried writing a review of Dante's Inferno once, it wasn't half-bad actually. I stand by that.
    Anyway, I wrote 2 fairly known (dutch) magazines an email saying I was interested in a job as a reviewer, if they had any open spots. Both of them asked a review which they would evaluate. Within 2 or 3 days I had completed the game and send the reviews over. I never got a reply from any of them. A few days after not getting a reply, I sent them again... And again... And then I gave up. Maybe later?

    If that were the case, you'd see a ton more RUclips gaming stars pop up - as it was in the beginning due to a small supply of RUclipsr gamers and a high demand from audience members.
    The only way you'll earn that traffic is if you do something that hasn't been done before, making you unique over the same old commentators before you.

    Not as easy as you think - Especially with all the RUclipsrs who are competing amongst each other. On top of that, once you have your RUclips Ad privileges removed, due to whatever reason of infringement - You can say good bye to RUclips as a source of income, for good.
