im gonna do my critism here (sorry, i'll be sure to do it later on future videos on youtube)

first thing that stood out to me almost instantly was how long the intro was, since i knew you and stuff i knew to wait and waited patiently for the game to finally start but if it were some random stranger, they are more likely to click back and watch a video that was quicker to begin the game. look, people watch let's plays to see people play and long intros just make people lose interest after some time. cut the intro short, a few second but it should never be more than 10 seconds.

another thing that needs to be fixed his the audio and video, the video itself looks very bad quality and this might be because you were playing on a website and just zoomed in using a video recording program (im actually not sure about that, you might have been using an emulator) if you were using an emulator, try to capture the video using the emulator itself a lot of them have built in video capture and capture it in high quality. the audio coming from the game was fine, way too quiet in volume though and you should edit the audio to increase volume. the audio coming from your mic was also to quiet (im serious i had to put my volume up from 14% to 65% just to hear you clearly) not only was it overall too quiet but it overpowered the audio that came from the game, fix that and make sure your voice is only a tiny bit louder than ingame sounds but not to the point where your voice drowns out game sounds. i also heard audio coming from some sort of intercom somewhere in the background that was really loud. when your recording this, please make sure you wont have any noise coming from anything but yourself, absolute quiet.

last thing, but the biggest problem probably in this video was that you talked too 'much''. ''' talking a lot is what you're suppose to do as opposed to being silent but you rambled about things that were irrelevant to the game and talked about inside jokes and references most people wouldn't understand or care to listen to while watching a lets play of a game. cut down the jokes as the humor sounds very forced and kinda dumb or just dont tell jokes and just talk, humor should come naturally and sometimes silence is better appreciated when it comes to those important cutscenes and dialouge, dont make a joke about everything every character says. while you spoke a lot, you rarely even addressed game content and when you did, you focused too much on small details and never said anything about the big picture, didn't address or even say anything about about your thoughts about the characters, locations, dialouge or even the small amount of plot that was revealed. i also noticed you began the game reading dialouge but stopped abruptly soon after, you have to choose either to read the text or to not (if you do, don't read the unimportant stuff, focus on character text or plot text)

sorry about the length of this but the biggest issue was the talking. i would suggest you to do post commentary. live commentary is fine but right now post commentary can improve your videos as you have time to think on what to say not waste time on unimportant things like you did in this video. first lets plays are hard everyone makes mistakes.
