Battletech streams ?

[Fragilehardass]

Ok, I completely understand that streamers add a higher profile for the game. But this streamer called Hyperrpg forces you to subscribe to watch the video. I don't now if that is opening up the game to a greater audience or cheesing interested people into financial subscriptions. I checked most of the other streamers and didn't see it there... .

Oh and the post I made is not about the quality o/t stream or personal preference o/t streamer mentioned... it is just in my mind dubious that backers should have to sub to certain streamers to see content they backed A LONG TIME AGO...

Edited: + this link is another video that I couldn't even find as a stream (I am fervently looking for BT streams ) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/244530180

@Fragilehardass
HyperRPG is the the content studio Jordan Weisman (head of HBS) created (along with Zac Eubank) and got set up shortly after the Kickstarter for BATTLETECH ended. They are surprisingly open about their practices and have an honesty hour where they explain some of the nut and bolts of running the studio.

Hyper Rabbit Power Go (Hyper RPG) is a gathering place for friends on and offline, centered around video and tabletop gaming, comic books, movies, and more. Hyper RPG pushes the boundaries of collaborative storytelling and shared gaming experiences across the web and around the world. We strive for inclusive content and representation. Created by Jordan Weisman (creator of Shadowrun, Battletech RPGs) and Zac Eubank (former showrunner of Geek & Sundry Twitch), everyone at Hyper RPG would like to welcome you to the Thumper family!

Thank you for posting that

Turns out that Cohh is very prompt about getting the streams onto YouTube... which suits me fabulously with my Internet connection that was a reasonable speed about a decade ago. Download plugin engaged...

If anyone wants the specific link:

Why does it cut off at 29:18? Is it just a preview of his stream?

I'm surprised to find out it was co-founded by Jordan. The host turned me off when he said beards are gross though.

On YouTube it's split into multiple videos. You should see the other 'episodes' on the sidebar.

TYVM. Glad to see streams up on YouTube. I can watch them on my TV unlike Twitch.

 

[kvetcha]

It's disappointing that Cohh felt the need to explain how he plays games, but I admire how forthright he was about it.

I'm sure I can watch Youtube on my "smart" TV. So far I've been too lazy to learn, but might be worth it for BT.

 

[Havamal]

I do indeed have youtube on every TV in my house... You can also do it through a chromecast or roku if your TV can't.

Cohh's stream had his first time he had to do a refit due to parts not being available. (He had no Med Lasers so he mucked with his BJ-1)

I'm really enjoying how into the game he is. And he really is learning and improving as he goes.

 

[Kereminde]

He brought up a UX point:

When seeing the store part, you are not shown what you have in stock when buying things. Which is kinda needed when buying extra Heat Sinks.

 

[kvetcha]

Cohh liked it so much he went an hour over schedule.

@Kereminde I agree, re the store.

He went a bit mental with all the melee and it cost him his blackjack

 

[Kereminde]

Cohh: "I was planning on streaming from one to four . . . and it's now five."

He's picking up tomorrow 1pm Eastern with a procedural mission. An escort mission.

Yeah, I totally agree, would want to see my inventory while buying. shouldn't be too hard to implement, the mechanic kinda exists for mechparts

 

[Kereminde]

shouldn't be too hard to implement

I won't assume that far, but I figured it worth mentioning here for those developers not in the tournament getting beaten by Connor and Eck.
