Live Stream Was Useless

[Dr Quin]

I call shenanigans that that was even live, whole thing felt scripted, winners I never even saw in chat.

I love this game, but totally agree that was a terribly hyped livestream that was pointless.

chat! you mean that non-stop, unreadable, useless, 900 mph data stream?

Updated the OP to expand on my thoughts and feelings, rather than just to say, "It was useless." Lets try and be constructive here a bit as well so perhaps Trion can expand on this in the future.

Lots of love,
TJ

i did see a few of the winners names pop up but i hate how they ignored the entire half of the chat that was asking about the patch/dlc

[Nerdy Ryuu]

yup i turn the stream off because it was crap. Was nothing new there was a waste of time

[Thumbtack Jake]

So, seeing as so many of us were quite disappointed with the live stream, what do you all think that they could do better?

Perhaps they could break it into two parts, each part say 10-15 minutes long. One half to be about the show, and the other to be about the game.

They need to understand that the people with the game are the bulk watching the stream. Talk about the game perhaps?
Some info on what is coming and what they are doing to address issues.

Seriously. Not a single thing was answered. At all. What was the point of even having this? The game wasn't even discussed.

I liked the show, and I very much enjoy the game. Nearly 48 hours logged as of this post. If you are going to do a weekly live stream after a show THAT IS TIED TOGETHER WITH A GAME, don't just discuss the little things like favorite characters, what the producer felt like producing the show, or what have you, because honestly, no one (exaggerated) gives a damn (brutal perhaps, but honest).

It's fine to discuss the show (along the lines of Talking Dead, for example) but the people that go to Twitch to see the live stream post show are most likely going to be the people playing the game, and thus want to hear information about exactly that; the game! Things like:

When's the next patch dropping?
When's the DLC coming?
What's in the DLC/Patch?
Any in-game events coming up?

That's what we (at least, many of us) want to hear about.

Just my 2 cents,
TJ

I thought of this more like a 'Talking Dead' kind of git up. I didn't expect a typical Wed/Fri Live Stream rather a re-cap of the episode, show off the game tie-in, and discuss a little fluff for show fans to bring them to the PC in order to bring them to the game. Conversion of TV watchers is probably a good goal to keep such a IP working.

I'll tune in again, although I may fore go chat.

The game came out what...2 weeks ago? DLC for Bioshock hasn't even been announced. I didn't watch it bc I knew it wouldn't matter. Info on the patch is on the fly it was /supposed/ to come out today but tech issues say otherwise so why state something you're unsure of? As for up coming events they could have said something about that like episode missions or something that's a sure thing.

To those who do not want to know what is happening in the game stop reading here!


Between the end of the show and the live feed we do learn a couple of things both about the game and how the show plot will twist and turn.

At the end of the show, in the dinner, the ex-mayor says to the other guy with her that she set up the attack on Defiance to help clear everyone out of town so they could search for something under the town. Then during the live feed we saw a clip showing the item they were looking for along with EMC showing up.

Think how this item and the EMC wanting it is going to effect the game.
