When watching a gaming commentary, what type of content do you prefer to listen to (etc: Live commentary, let's play, personal stories...)

As of right now, I'm not too sure what to commentate about. Any topics would be appreciated :)

I like a mix of game-related commentary and personal anecdotes. Honestly, I'd rather hear a bit more about the youtuber's life, that way I feel even more in touch with them and connected.

That's how I feel as well. It's more interesting to hear about another person's life or being able to relate to them on a certain level.[DOUBLEPOST=1446945901][/DOUBLEPOST]
I'm one of those strange people who mutes the audio xD
I always enjoy watching gameplay without commentary...
Ha it depends on the voice of the person

See i

I usually dont do videos with audio because i heard some dont like commentary so i always had a mix feeling on it
Same for me, i have a gameplay only channel. Now i am aware that audio gives a more personal touch but to be honest, i don't feel like talking when i'm gaming. I just wanna enjoy the story. Only time i use my headset is when i play together with friends wich is rare actually xD

I like to watch people who are fans of particular games... I like it when the video maker knows alot about the games they play, and can show you and tell you secrets easter eggs or references you may otherwise have not known about.

Beyond that I like reactionary content...
Games that are really funny, hard, or scary, and people who work well with that.

I like to listen to personal stories or information about a game/subject when I'm listening to a commentary over a video game.

Unless I know more about the commentator, I don't often watch let's play's and such. Some channels like Vanoss Gaming pull it off very nicely though!
