Do you know a lot about a game you've never played?
>>740316616I know everything about Elder Scrolls lore
>>740316616Yes, but I wouldn't call myself a fan of those games.
Ultima. They're interesting and important games but way too clunky to actually play.
>>740316616I know a little about a lot of games I’ve never played. But if it appeals to me, I’m gonna play it.

I love how /v/ hates earthbound so much that they gaslit themselves into believing this "fan who hasn't actually played the game" meme and spam it constantly
>>740316616I’m an expert in Marathon lore now thanks to the shilling and hating threadsI don’t even know how the old or new games look like
>>740316616Yeah basically everything from the late 1900s I didn't actually play but know about for historical reasonsSuper impressive what they did back in the day
>>740316953There's a few that are playable, I plan on playing them eventually.
>>740316616Sometimes I go into FF threads to look at pictures of Aerith, Tifa and Yuffie even though I don't play nipslop. I don't read anything, just look at pics and webms.I pretend I played the original System Shock even though I only played the remake. I did play for 10 minutes, quit and never came back because I couldn't be bothered to setup a control scheme for myself. Maybe later.That's about it.Oh and sometimes I browse CP2077 threads when that one anon dumps Aurore pictures.
I watch competitive Warcraft 3 on daily basis, but I haven't touched that game in 15 years. That's also valid for fighting games in general (sf6, tekken 8, dbfz, acpr...)
>>740316616Yes from here but that was way back when vidya was the board topic and twitter war crap
>>740316616>watched all the video essays of SH2>never playing the original>first SH is SH2R>shit on the original and other SH and worship bloober
>>740317456But you did play it at one point, right?I guess watching fighting games is pretty similiar than watching sports. I doubt that many people watching curling has ever tried it out.
>>740316616Me and Project Moon
>>740317629>But you did play it at one point, right?Yeah, but custom campaigns are a completely different experience compared to vs player and high level comp. You don't have to deal with micromanagement, economy and 1000 IQ decisions like in a real vs player match.
>>740316616Me with fighting games, I suck at fighting games.
Waiting for the one retard to go>Um, excuse me, chud!>Just because I only watch Youtubers talk about a game, never bother to secure a copy or even pirate it in spite of its accessibility, and generally hate everything about it except having a social perception of aesthetic, that doesn't mean I'm not a real fan of the game and even the wider property at large!>I'm a REAL fan, unlike YOU, because I don't marginalise people who don't engage with the media they pretend to like, and-
>>740316616I used to be. I was poor as a kid, and my family couldnt afford games often, so I enjoyed games vicariously by watching Lets Players. I sometimes feel sad when I remember how many hours I wasted watching people play games, instead of literally anything else.
>>740316616I don't have an active interest in any game I don't currently play or have at one point played. Closest I get to that is jacking off to characters in gacha games I'll never play but I wouldn't really call that knowledge or fandom by any stretch.
Yeah, I know a bunch of fnaf lore before the VR games. I needed to know what I was talking about for writing. Never touched a game and don't intend to.
>>740316616Touhou!
