>MKFireandIce>Shirrako>theRadBradWhy do people watch others play games instead of playing it themselves?
I tried that game and it was dogshit so watching some of a youtube playthrough would have been a better use of time
Your thread sucks, let's talk about Hell Is Us instead.
i was trying to find some basic gameplay and came across one of those vids except they legit muted the ingame OST and played some generic ambient music loop over the entire fucking videoI legit don't know how these people even breathe.
>>731123227FPWPThe game is great. The fighting's so mid it might as well not be here though. But the adventuring/exploring and lore stuff is awesome.
>>731123152>theRadBradThat guy is cool. STFU
It saves time and money. Pretty normal thing to do these days.
>>731123152people play it and then watch other people to have catharsis of shared experience but I can think of reasons why you would watch and not play>don't have the hardware to play>don't want to commit the time to play because busy>don't actually like the game but enjoy the person playingpersonally I don't really like watching yt playthroughs myself but I can understand itit's also like asking why watch football when you can play football
>>731123152kino is ussad it flopped so hard
>>731123152zoomers are the worst generation ever, of all time, and lack things like skills and motivation and perseverance, and so are frequently unable to make the effort to actually play a video game rather than sitting there mindlessly consooming a video of someone else doing it
>>731123331very low iq, but endearingly so, as far as youtubers go hes just doing his dumb vids of latest hyped games, respect this more than midwits pushing their garbage plot recap "essays"made this dsp meme but it was actually radbrad (getting filtered by one the first babby puzzles)
>>731123323I thought the combat was decent but there was just way too much of it, especially in the second half of the game, since the enemy variety wasn't that good. They could've just cut half of the enemies scattered around the game and it would've been for the better since it's more about the exploration anyway.
>>731123152when i was a kid and didn't have any money for new games o watched people playing them and just imagined i was playing them and having fun
sabinians did nothing wrong
yet another game that was fixed by modders>movement ease-in>flashlight shadows
>>731123152Walk-through videos are as a old as video sharingAre you mentally challenged?
>unsubtle marketing thread for a flop kusoge
>>731123621>enemy varietyit sucked but you could always have swapped to a new weapon to make it feel fresh. maining one weapon whole game made you outscale enemies by a wide margin unfortunately
>>731123873I swapped weapons every time I maxed one out.
>>731123152I dunno, there are a lot of retards out there.>>731123227Case in point>>731123257Its good. Solid 8/10 with good lore and the exploration/sluething is good.>>731123398It didnt flop.
>>731124204>It didnt flop.Yes it did
>>731124204>It didnt flop.It flopped massively. Silksong cannibalised its sales and they talked about how the publisher wouldn't let them delay it because they didn't think it was a big enough concern.
>>731124223Its a 60 person team and it sold 150k units on steam alone (this game was big on consoles)Its fine.
>>731123152I just use these sorts of channels if I want to link a specific part of a cutscene or something to win a pointless internet argument

>>731124453>no you don't get it >if it doesn't the arbitrary number i have in my head it floooped
>>731124562>no you don't get it >if it reached the arbitrary number i have in my head it was a success
>>731123152Sometimes you can use these videos to help see if a game will be worth buying. Like you only watch a few hours to see if it would something you'd enjoy
>>731124659>it was a successwas it received well? it wasis the studio alive and making more games? they areliterally nothing else affects me.
>>731123152Why does /v/ talk about video games instead of playing it themselves?
>>731124804>Why does /v/ talk about video games instead of playing it themselves?lol the very same reason every thread is filled with flop/slop posters: poorfagotry. it's a way for most of /v/ to larp and pretend they are part of the conversation. PC hardware is prohibitingly expensive and has been for years, a lot of games never get cracked and console piracy is non existent. most of /v/ are just high grape posting because they have been priced out of gaming.
>>731124453no it did fine had a modest budget and should have made money back easy
>>731123152I use playthroughs on twitch and youtube to see if the game is a good fit for me before buying. Usually 15-20 minutes are enough to make an important decision but I appreciate the abundance of content so I can potentially check any point in the game. This is the only way since I can't trust news outlets OR online forums and chatrooms to have genuine information.
flopslop lmaaaoooooo
>>731123152>MKFireandIceThe one thing I don't like about this channel is the first video of a game ends up being like x hours or so long and each additional part after is like 40 minutes or something like thatIt's not like they can't put up the whole game as one video
>>731123152you'll understand when you're older
>>731123152I only hate the ones that say WALKTHROUGH only to find out those are just regular blind playthrough
>>731125180>I use playthroughs on twitch and youtube to see if the game is a good fit for me before buyingThisThese guys are the real game journalists, especially the ones who don't speak
