BRIDGEPORT'88 - I'm making a hell of a Let's Play

And no, I'm not sorry for being so bold :D

This is not just an ordinary Let's Play, though. If it were one, it'd be a good one. But it isn't. Heavily inspired by TV shows and movies from the 1980s, and set in 1988 Bridgeport, it's heavily edited and highly thought out, but still genuine and spontaneous. Little of it is scripted, so you're watching someone who is GENUINELY angry at his Sims' gross incompetence.

And you can watch the first, experimental, sneaky little test episode here!

I've put a lot of time into this and while it's FAR from perfect (it's a first episode AND a first attempt at doing anything like this) I'm VERY happy with how it's come out for now and I'll be making sure that next episode is a step above and beyond this one. I mean it'll need to be because I have a whole list of things I'll need to improve before I can ACTUALLY say I've already MADE "a hell" of a Let's play.
Now what I would REALLY like from you guys here is the following: Feedback. Input. Suggestions. Maybe a little bit of validation. Maybe a lot. Maybe some attention too. Or maybe a lot of that, too. Let me know.

  • A pretty tubular intro you had going on there! ;) :p

    You captured the 80's style very well and your comments were pretty darn humorous. :lol: I like your sense of humor. :)

    It sounds like you had lots of fun playing this so if you love it, keep it up!
  • Nice video. Loved the '80s vibe! My only suggestion is to refer to your sims less as 'you' and instead use their actual names more often. Helps to clarify (to me at least) who you are talking about. I subscribed and will catch future episodes.
  • Thanks for the feedback, guys. I have a substantial wishlist for next episode and I think it'll be better in every way. This was just a little experiment, after all.

    I'll keep the name thing in mind, @TreyNutz, as I can see why it could be somewhat confusing.
  • Made another thread elsewhere after this one got a bit lost, but that's sorted out now. So I'm using this one from now on.
    To recap the other thread:

    ....episode #1 of Bridgeport'88. The aptly but uncreatively titled, Capitalism & Aerobics. You can watch it here:

    The editing and visuals were fantastic. In fact, I love all the detail you put into the lots and sims to really fit that decade. Good job :grin:
