Is there ever a case where watching a lets play, retrospective or analysis is a preferential way to experience a game compared to playing it yourself?
No
Last of Us. It's not even a real game anyway, so may as well save yourself the download and installation time watching the "full movie" on YouTube.
>>730697185Yes.
Fear and Hunger 1&2. The lore and everything about these games is great, but playing them straight up sucks ass. >inb4 hurr zoomerI'm almost 40 and I have no problem with horror games or punishing games, what pisses me of are all the bullshit RNG events that can kill your run.
>>730697185As a replacement for playing the game yourself at all? No. I watch gameplay videos before potentially purchasing something I’m interested in, to see if it plays like shit or isn’t what I thought it would be, but I don’t watch playthroughs of anything that I never have intent to play myself.
>>730697746Fuck off to your containment board, you zionist pedo golem.
The only games I ever watch over play are movie games with little to no gameplay. Telltale, David Cage, the Until Dawn guys, etc
Where did all the let's play channels go....
if you are gay and retarded
>>730697869based
>>730698119They're all still doing let's plays. You just grew out of them
>>730697185Yes. It is entertaining to watch Joov, CallMeKevin, and LetsGameItOut play shitty games in amusing ways with retarded restrictions. You would not ever want to play games like Skyrim, The Sims, or X Tycoon yourself of course. You listen to their shit while doing chores, because it's better than listening to music and there is something deeply disturbing about musicfags. People not washing their hands at a bar somehow remains less disturbing than "people" asking about your music taste in a bar. God I hate people talking about music in bars so much it's unreal.
>>730697185only let's plays i watch is Subanuticanever gets old
>>730698253i assure you i have never outgrown anything
I lost my hand in a car accident a few years ago so I watch lets plays of some games that need two hands.
>>730699473Man that sucks, hope you're doing alright.
>>730699473damn it must suck not being able to jerk off properly any more
>>730700070It's okay, your mom helps me out.
