LET'S PLAY - STAR WARS X-WING - BATTLE REPORT #4

This is the first video I've seen from TheBleepUpPodcast. they have put a lot of effort into production creating screen overlays and sections to show dice rolls clearly to the viewer. This is a good idea but i cant help but feel that too much real estate is occupied on the screen. In particular there is a giant box for demonstrating the maneuver selected. For demonstrating a single digit number and an arrow this information is enormous and the space taken spends the majority of the video blank because the activation phase is a relatively short part of the game which just demonstrates how wasted this space is. In fact all of the sections of the overlay are not in use 100% of the time and they could have been reduced to overlays that fade in and out as needed, see Sanctioned's most recent videos for a good example of how this can be achieved. Doing so would also allow the playfield to occupy more of the screen giving a better view of the game in progress.
All in all the video is an excellent effort but i just think they tried too hard and went a little too hard on the presentation. Simplicity would be a much better approach to make future videos much more interesting.

Score: 6.5/10
