If you’ve seen my other post on this comm, you probably know why I am asking this. However, even if I did have a PC, I don’t think I would have the time and energy to play a game anyway. That’s why I’m now starting to prefer walkthroughs/playthroughs over actually playing the game myself. I know it’s not a replacement for a PC but it’s still enjoyable regardless. Also, my very first exposure to big games was actually through YouTube lets plays in the first place. What do you all think?
I think that’s more of a “I want information so I can play this game.” and I totally agree. I look for things I can read first, and in some cases, I might want a video if I know what to do, but I’m not sure how and watching someone else would help me accomplish that.
For the games that are more like interactive stories, I completely understand wanting to watch the story without having to sit through all the grinding or wandering around that happens in between key moments.
Well, ofc on some occasions I might watch a video to better understand something specific, but that’s really the last resort, as I prefer to play the game myself. I still don’t understand your argument, because unless you are watching a heavily edited video, you still need to watch all the “grinding”. I also find grinding enjoyable… it falls under the obsessive compulsive in me., so I just rather grind myself! =)
No argument here, I think we’re both talking about different things, and it’s really not worth arguing semantics to try getting on the same page. No worries.
