Since I want to start an argument on /v/ I gotta ask, is it possible to be fan of a franchise without playing the games?
>>741790481No.
Yeah, sure. We call those "secondaries". They've always been a thing. The more a franchise branches out into multimedia, the more of them you get.
>>741790481>a franchiseSure why not, even fans of the game, but their opinions don't count.
Better argument, can you be a fan of a franchise by only playing the new games and maybe remakes of older ones and never touch the original older games?
>>741790481Yes, it's called being a secondary and it's the lowest possible tier of fan you can be. Anyone who's played the games for even just a minute or two is free to spit on you in passing and you have to take it.
No you dumb faggot.While I admit there are some games that are more fun to watch than to play, to call yourself a fan without actually trying it yourself is retarded
I really don't care, my life isn't so easy that whether or not other people are real fans of a video game series isn't a priority for me.
>>741790481Some games yes
>>741790776bruh no one is gonna play those old ass janky ps1 resident evil 1-3 games
>>741790481Yes, you can enjoy secondary media and be a fan of the secondary media.For example, that's shirano from world flipper, i do enjoy the secondary official and not official content of her.Never played world flipper and never will.

>>741791615If they wanted me to play the game they wouldn't have made the girls so sexy
>>741790481Yes, but no real fan would think so.
>>741790806Elden Ring challenge runs can get really goofy, it's even funnier when someone with 10k hours forgets the basics and gives nothing but bad advice.
