Top: Watching Let’s Plays of video games.

Bottom: Watching Arin of GameGrumps do a Let’s Play

I find myself only ever watching things like the water temple on zelda. Seemingly impossible feats to conquer, yet my buddy thinks im insane for paying 70 to play a game when he can watch it for free on YouTube.

Depends on the game. There’s some horror games I wouldn’t bother with because they’re just too much for me, but I find it funny as hell to watch other people play and get scared by them. Then there’s group games like Among Us. I hate playing it, but it’s great watching other people get salty over it.

I watch streamers playing what I play because I learn all sorts of quality-of-life tricks without looking up a YouTube video that gives me TOO much info, ya know? I try to treat games like pre-wiki era so that all the enjoyment isn’t sucked out of looking every tidbit up to figure things out.

I’ve put like 120 hours into my first playthrough of BG3 and I’m just making it out of Act 1. Meanwhile there’s already people making mods for like 60 new races. Someone beat the game in 5 minutes by killing a character and stuffing her in a box. (WTF?)

“Oh boy, Celeste looks like a chill platformer, maybe I should give it a try”

I like to watch people playing games while im playing games

I like playing more than watching, but I know a lot of what I do when playing would not be fun to watch.

Literally all games from Paradox.
