I’m unsure if this counts as a “hobby”, but I absolutely love the Mass Effect series so much that I enjoy just watching it as much as replaying. I love it so much that I’ve been recording my gameplay and editing it into a sort of Mass Effect “show”.
I could just watch the handful of streamers out there who play it, but few people play as FemShep and I’ve never seen anyone play a Shepard looking anything like mine let alone take the “right” choices and actions, so this Mass Effect “show” gives me a way to watch my Shepard’s story as often as I’d like.
The whole project has evolved into learning how to polish things in Premiere Pro and Photoshop, so I’m self-teaching as I go.
Is this a thing? Editing games playthroughs into tv shows? I'd love to watch this for games I'm interested in but would never play.
Also, FemShep is the only Shepard I've played (I only played the series the first time when the Legendary edition came out) and I can't image it any other way.
Oh man you've never heard of "machinima"? May I introduce you to Red vs Blue. It's going to be a fun day for you
Saw this idea and tbh now I wanna do something similar, but for Dragon Age.
I guess I need to learn how to actually edit this shit together though, I used to livestream, so that kind of editing was never really necessary
I know Reddit had/has a GamesTheMovie subreddit. I believe this is exactly what you want, though I've never actually watched any of them.
Tbh I find the whole "the movie" thing to be too lengthy, would love hour-long "episodes" of various games as an alternative.
Might have to give making them a shot...
