The blue yeti is an amazingly popular microphone for let's players. It sounds great, is durable, has 4 separate pickup patterns, and is often on sale. It's not perfect however. Being a condenser mic, it is more sensitive to picking up background noise from things like air conditioners, PC fans, neighbors, traffic, etc. So to get the best sound out of it you have to record in a room that's away from noise sources. This is something not easily accomplished by someone streaming from their bedroom for example. Another feature it lacks that many of it's competitors include, is an xlr jack, for use with a mixer or interface. To get this on a yeti, you have to get the much more expensive "pro" version. So while the yeti is a very good mic overall, I'd wait for it to be on sale, which it frequently is.

This is a great mic for a number of uses (gaming, voice over recordings, streaming, etc.). However, this mic also has an issue of picking up EVERYTHING in the background. I was using this mic and it picked up noise that was occurring way on the other side of the house downstairs from my location. A filter of some kind is recommended (such as a pop filter). However, I did watch some YouTube videos on how to decrease the background noise by altering sound and gain settings...this did work, but minimally. So, expect to purchase at least a $8+ filter if you want the quality of the mic to stand out! Aside from that, this mic (so far) has 5 stars! (Thought about putting it down to 4 stars because of the filter issue...but the quality of this mic is amazing! So, it deserves the 5 full stars!)

I haven't had much of an opportunity to play the game or use this microphone because I've been moving around lately but I'm looking forward to it when the time comes. The microphone has a solid structure with a great matte finish and is relatively easy to setup and use. I mainly bought the bundle for podcasts but looking forward to playing the game more as well.
