Topic: Player retention and general Perpetuum representation in the media.

This is a video from an mmo video channel on youtube, looking at perpetuum.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MSPDAM73u8

I don't know why people make videos like this, for one it is hurting the game by representing it badly, the comments of some of the viewers are terrible.

I looked up the player name, guy played 26 minutes, for some reason was zoomed right in with most of the UI off, i really wish this game would get some better representation, but this just makes me cringe.

I guess this topic should be about how we can make it so people don't take one look at the game and walk away, and any thoughts you may have on this video.

This may be a unique case, i don't know, http://massively.joystiq.com/ usually do some pretty good perpetuum articles.

Re: Player retention and general Perpetuum representation in the media.

First look videos are never good.
I've seen the same be made for a lot of games that rip it apart.
Good feedback for devs but very bad for players. Usually ends with "If you want to waste your money, you can get it".

I do think Avatar Creations needs to make a "This is Perpetuum" video that shows the difference aspects of the game. I also think the game needs a default UI setup. Or at least a better tutorial on it.

The difference between bad review videos and good review articles seems to be that players are writing articles and attention seeking individuals make videos. tongue
