Personally I like clean walkthroughs without commentary. Some YouTubers especially famous one's like to extend their content that way to slow down the gameplay pace of the game.
Indeed age is just a number. I'm 22, but play as much as I did before (I mean types of games), though with a bigger variation on gaming limit, sadly. Too many duties.
Example of a good challenging game - Gothic, bad one - Skyrim. Why? Because in the 1st one you're no one, but in Skyrim you're an almighty hero immediately.
Don't repeat my mistakes. Never use your main gaming PC for rendering and streaming. It overloads the system quite a lot. I had to reinstall Windows a few times here and there.
Most important thing is neither skills or fame. It's TIME. If you have any you'll stream and play and get better overall. If you don't - competitive gaming isn't for you. Same as regular gaming (like myself sadly).
I say yes! Go for it! But make sure you have enough spare time. Myself I had to seize the opportunity back when I had the time, now I can only play for like 2-3 hours a day. Busy schedule.
Gothic 4:Arcania. For sure. The Gothic RPG series have been butchered with the climatic change of the original developers. They even renamed the sequel so it wouldn't be called Gothic anymore.
I hate being given the room to change something, because if I do, then I would like to change a whole lot of stuff. And that would be like making entirely a new game. ^^
It honestly depends on the lore, as I do quests primarily for it. Sometimes sidequests have better lore and concepts than the main story. Anyhow, yup, I do them.
Game chats are not fun to people anymore because people became lazy, and moreover, unable to socialize. That's the reason why RPG's are in decline nowadays.
It bothers me when a game that shouldn't have women actually has them (to avoid offending someone). For example, some historical game that claims to be realistic, but adds female feodals.
I think huge maps in an FPS games depends on a game itself. I prefer Battlefield for that reason, it's a lot more immersive. Whoever prefers fast action packed games should go for CoD and CS.
