Will you be watching early release streams and lets plays?

Discussion in 'Starbound Discussion' started by DotBeta, Dec 3, 2013.

  1. I was just curious who will be watching the early lets plays and streams done by the people who got the game early to promote/hype it up. Will you be watching? are you afraid of spoilers? Do you feel like it may dull the excitement of playing the game for the first time?

    I'll be the first to say that I won't be touching any of the early lets plays or streams with a 10ft. poll. I heard that Total Biscuit completed the first 3 quests and while they may not be big quests they're still something I'd like to find and figure out myself. I've also heard Zisteau is also really going into depth in his youtube first impression/tutorial video. I really don't want to lose that genuine excitement you get from starting a new game and figuring things out for yourself. Besides with 2 days left I think it's worth the wait.

    P.S. I don't really count watching bartwe's streams as cheating or spoiling anything as he's usually in game testing mechanics not progressing.

    I like knowing a bit before playing, so I'll watch the first few episodes of Zisteaus, Docms, and TBs letsplayers. Possibly someone elses if more people emerge.

    I watched Leth's stream last night, but other than that I probably won't be watching any others.
    I'm not really too fond of the Let's Plays and stuff like that.

    I can't watch streams due to a poor internet connection :(
    Though I did watch a few tid bits here and there on Youtube so far. Like this one.

    The 4th is going to be a joyous/depressing day as the 1GB+ download probably won't finish till late at night or the next day.

    Probably not more than Leth's stream from last night so I can be somewhat unsure of what to even do for my own terrible videos (Youtube users eat that up).

    I've seen a few from devs but that's it. I'd rather not spoil to much for myself

    A bit at first, but I wan't to discover most of the game myself.
     
  10. I'll admit I did watch a small portion of Leth's stream last night, but more so to hear what the devs had to say than watch the actual gameplay.

    I will be watching TB and Jesse's videos, and Leth's streams if he does more after release.

    Not watching any myself, I would much rather play the game. I just wish with all these keys going to streamers, we could get ours ...

    I'll watch TB's vids on it, but probably not much else, don't really need to see 50 people go through the tutorial :rofl:

    I watched some of leths streams and they where quite entertaining but.. There's only one more day.. Might as well wait and figure out how techs and actually progressing works on my own.




    (unless cryaotic plays it then FJALSJLJAl)

  17. It's funny, I wanted to see stuff, but now that I've seen a bit I don't want to see much more. I'm excited for the unknown.

    How poor is your connection? I feel for you if you cannot stream.
    I only get 3Mbps which equates to roughly 350kb/s download speeds.
    I can still stream just fine however so I am happy about that.
