    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I heard "of course DotA is very old..." and was thinking "Please mention AoS, please mention AoS" and you did. So thanks, TB, for being informed and working to make others informed too.

    TB, the second question gives the text of the third question. You can fix it if you want or just don't be botherd. Best of luck and remember your making great video's.

    I just wanted to thank you TB, for bringing Rhapsody of Fire to my attention. It is right up my alley along with Avantasia, Freedom Call and Blind Guardian.

  • @obidobi2000
    @obidobi2000 12 лет назад

    Regarding the first question. HoN has actually adapted to the DotA 2 business model, with the exception of "early access".

    Note on the XBOX LIVE player grading system, it doesn't seem to do all that much, but at the very least you can mark other players as Preferred or Not Preferred and you will less likely to encounter them in matchmaking. Well, provided there are more than enough other players to fill the lobby of course

    Smite deals with items very well by having the "autobuy" feature, which you can disable as you discover your own builds.

  • @ThysiosX

    That business model does exist outside of Valve. S2 have been doing it for a while now with HoN and they seem to be going alright.

    @Question 3: SW:TOR also had a simular system in pvp. Each player could desinate 2-3 players as a mvp which gave them a slight boost in pvp points. I know this system encouraged me to play objectives more, encourage team, and be vocal and try to organize team better. I knew by doing so I would earn mvp votes by doing so.

    the difference between 480 and 1080 is really noticeable if you watch full screen on a decent monitor

  • @TOCS94
    @TOCS94 12 лет назад

    Actually a lot of 360 -> 1080p can be 1 channel mono, while 240p usually resorts that. Though that's normally a tendency of old RUclips videos, I've seen a few new ones having it too.

  • @IJoshFTW
    @IJoshFTW 12 лет назад

    Not that I know of, but the honor you can give to the enemy team is called 'Honorable Opponent' and the description is that you can give that to a player that you would look forward to playing with or against, so maybe?

    Getting the augment in FTL that allows all activated weapons to be ready to fire as soon as a battle starts is a very easy way to beat FTL; problem is, you've gotta find it, you've gotta buy it (its expensive), and you've still gotta get a good deal of weapons.

    @Goombalove3000 12 лет назад

    I think that the honor system is one of the best things to happen to LoL. So many times after a great game I have wanted to thank my teammates for their good play, but can't. It also brings out the nice people inside us instead of the trolls because we want to be honored.

  • @toycat
    @toycat 12 лет назад

    what about lets plays of sandbox games, where every experience is different?

  • @IJoshFTW
    @IJoshFTW 12 лет назад

    As additional information for the third question, being a League player myself, I can say that the amount of people raging in full caps about how bad people are playing has decreased dramatically from my perspective. I think I only had one game since the honor system was introduced where someone was raging. Just if some of you were wanting to get some more info about said subject.

  • @Ev0clipse
    @Ev0clipse 12 лет назад

    i think they are talking about the The Game Station Podcast. Its a Podcast about Gaming, that TB hosts. You can find it over at the the game station channel.

  • @Newsteller
    @Newsteller 12 лет назад

    in awesomenauts, gold or more acurately "solar" is only dropped when someone or something is killed by creeps or turrets. when a player kills someone or something, i.e. has the last hit, he automatically gets the solar for the kill. so the only difference to LoL is that there is gold to be earned too when a creep/turret kills another creep/player (by collecting it after it dropped).

  • @Aldowyn

    depends on your monitor. I have a 1080p full hd monitor and on 480p the quality is bad on full screen.

  • @C454D
    @C454D 12 лет назад

    I will actually counter TB on the third question comparing it to xbox live. On live you have to go out of your way to actually give someone a report; you have to open up your dashboard, go to the correct list, find them on that list, go to their profile page, click a button then click your reason. In league you can easily do it via 2 clicks and you're done.
    They also said, it is meant to help nudge the direction of the community, not wide spread joy and in that, it has done well.

  • @AstaInar
    @AstaInar 12 лет назад

    As a response to the difference between watching the Lets plays and playing the game yourself. I find it very different. As for example, I love watching TB and Jesse fiddle around Teraria, while I myself, couldn't bare with it more than half an hour.
    What is more, I like to play with fire myself, not just watch others play with fire. I like to make my own shots and experience the game for myself, not from other people's perspective.

    480 and 720 there is a difference in audio and video for sure. I'm not audiophile but I notice a difference in audio; video isn't a problem if you don't watch it in full screen, if you do it's HUGE difference you kidding me ?

  • @Carpusgamechannel
    @Carpusgamechannel 12 лет назад

    Quite curious on the whole Microsoft issue.
    Does this also effect videos that have been out previously,
    or just new video contents coming out?
    Not too long ago did a video with Halo 3 story section.
    Though we were talking at points and interacting with the series
    as a whole and not just the singular game.
    Would that then cause me to go back I edit in the declaimer or
    remove the video completely?

    Can someone explain what TB ment here?
    Valve arnt only dealing with cosmetics for tf2, they also sell guns if you want to skip the random drop factor for the game.
    But also most games on the pc thats come out in 2012 sell cosmetics on their ingame stores.
    Im a bit confused what he means by this

    Hutch (shaun0728) did a very good explanation video about this, summed up the devs ignore that the rule exists because they understand that youtube is very good free advertising and does promote sales. Though some companies (in particular those who have very story driven games) do take down videos which contain spoilers and only allow the content up once the game is so many weeks/months/years old through a big Machinima or TGS partner.

    Also, they did not "just" steal the system - a quote from the forum thread discussing the honor stats:
    "We didn't just contact them, we hired multiple PhDs related to psychology full-time at Riot. Three that work closely on Team Player Behavior are: davin, who has a PhD in Human Factors Psychology; stinkytofu, who has a PhD in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and I'm a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience."
    There was a lot more thought put into this system than just "lets steal from Dota2".

  • @jkazos
    @jkazos 12 лет назад

    So says the LoL wiki (snipped for length): "When a case receives a certain number of "punish" votes, they receive a punishment including a warning, suspension, name change, or permanent banning. Every action taken against the player is automated, with very few exceptions. Under special circumstances, Riot Games can even veto the verdict of the Tribunal, but appeals are not possible as customer service responds to requests for information with premade messages."

  • @falcord
    @falcord 12 лет назад

    No, the Honour system can't be implemented in a MMO, I think. The thing about Honour is that it is policed by the players themselves and it's applied on a match per match basis.
    On a MMO, where private, direct communication is easy, it would be much harder to policy against honour trading.
    However, implementing it in SOME aspects of a MMO (Such as Guild Wars 2 PvP matches) would maybe work well.
    This is best suited for a MOBA though.

  • @TheRelevantusername
    @TheRelevantusername 12 лет назад

    i actually watch videos at 360p and i can't tell the difference between 480 and 360 audio-wise. the only time i notice a difference is, like you said, when it's at 240p. 240p is horrible, 360 is really all that i can stand. my internet is shit however, so i take what i can get and what will let me watch a video in a reasonable amount of time.

  • @xartecmana
    @xartecmana 12 лет назад

    DoTA sells ONLY cosmetics, and other games sell things in addition to cosmetics- LoL sells Champions and bundles and boosts (XP or IP, not power boosts), SK sells Energy which is literally a second currency nessecairy for everything, etcetera. TF2 sells weapons, yes, but most of the game's money comes from hats and boxes, NOT weapons.

  • @TheUnchainedMind
    @TheUnchainedMind 12 лет назад

    On this video there isn't much difference between 480p and 1080p because the game in the background has basic 2D graphics. On any 3D game, especially FPS, I'll always wait for 1080p. I want to see all of the quality, most of those games are really nice to look at.

  • @KixieBoo
    @KixieBoo 12 лет назад

    I usually watch a let's play to see if I like a game or not. If I do like it then after one or two episodes I will go buy it. The problem with me is that I get bored of a game very fast so I never finish them. I like to watch a full LP after I have bought the game because then I don't have to take the time to play through it myself. I have been tempted to just watch an LP before without actually going and buying the game though, so I can see where that comes from.

  • @FairysHuff
    @FairysHuff 12 лет назад

    I do the let's plays because I enjoy making them and it gives me something to do that doesn't require a lot of focus. I'm on 60MG of Fluoxetine and the side effects are quite strong making me very drowsy most of the day every day. So I doubt I could focus on something more editing intensive or creative than let's plays.
    I'll keep making them I suppose but now I feel rather less enthusiastic about it all. ~_~ *Sigh*

    most people can google it. It's not really hard to find what first ever fps was or where doom is similar to say wolfenstein 3-d and in what it's similar to the game I forgot the name of, before him.
    It's not that hard to find what first computer game ever made was, and that was some impressive piece of programming (there were no programming languages at the time).

  • @luckyeddie44
    @luckyeddie44 12 лет назад

    Just to reinforce the point regarding LPs: I considered purchasing Darkness 2 but due to YT footage I passed it up and watched that instead.
    Now that's not to say I'd do that with every game. Just as in piracy you can't prove that every stolen game is a lost sale, neither can you prove that every view on a LP is one either. But it does certainly drive sales down on newer titles.
    I'm hoping older titles would be exempt from a ban, as people who haven't purchased already aren't as likely to now.

    Might as well keep going :) I don't know why you aren't getting ads on TB videos as they are ad enabled. RUclips earns a revenue from each ad seen on their website. If you are partnered with RUclips then RUclips pays you a share of this revenue directly, if you're partnered with a network they pay the network and in turn the network pays you. TB's money (on youtube at least) comes from the advertising networks that pay RUclips, RUclips then pays the RUclips network TGS, who pays TB.
