Comment on Would you considering watching playthroughs of a game the same as playing that game?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 11 hours agoI think that’s more of a “I want information so I can play this game.” and I totally agree. I look for things I can read first, and in some cases, I might want a video if I know what to do, but I’m not sure how and watching someone else would help me accomplish that.
For the games that are more like interactive stories, I completely understand wanting to watch the story without having to sit through all the grinding or wandering around that happens in between key moments.

Well, ofc on some occasions I might watch a video to better understand something specific, but that’s really the last resort, as I prefer to play the game myself. I still don’t understand your argument, because unless you are watching a heavily edited video, you still need to watch all the “grinding”. I also find grinding enjoyable… it falls under the obsessive compulsive in me., so I just rather grind myself! =)

No argument here, I think we’re both talking about different things, and it’s really not worth arguing semantics to try getting on the same page. No worries.
