Yeah but also stuff like, someone made a video about beating a highscore playing Planet Coaster building literally only a swimming pool. I would’ve probably never gotten the idea, it’s not incredibly interesting to play, but it’s fun to see someone do it once.
Usually people watch when they can’t play, I watch on the phone on the toilet, when I eat food, in the bed to relax after I’ve been playing already for hours. It’s cool to see how other people play games you play.
You’re not boring xD different stuff is just for different people. Also you’re just not looking for it or know any good YouTubers.
I also read/watch actual series, but really you probably gotta admit that a tv show or series is probably not that much different than watching a well produced YouTube video of a game, just the content appeals to a different audience.
Hmm, well, I recently finished a playthrough of Mass Effect, N7 day every year, hm? Before that it was Dragon Age, mostly due to the release of Veilguard. Sadly that game is apparently so terrible that I’ll probably never play it. Some of my friends already regret buying it and sent me clips of the atrocious dialogue. At the very least it’ll have to be 80% off if I ever try it, lol.
Been replaying a lot, The Witcher 3, Disco Elysium, Divinity:OS2. Early this year I did a Fallout 4 playthrough with all chapters of Sim Settlement 2 installed. Lucky too, that I got to play the entire story before the update hit and ruined my game. I don’t think even half of my mods work anymore, so thanks, Bethesda, for Skyrimming Fallout 4.
Really I’m just waiting for KCD to release, somewhere in February next year, so I’ll probably be replaying KCD. Also on a rewatch of The Wire at the moment and almost done reading the Culture series by Banks.
Guess I just love stories.
Anything good you’ve played recently? Or watched being played? ;)
From what you played I only played Witcher myself, and recently watched a video on, dunno maybe that can make you understand why people watch gaming videos, it’s essentially about what would happen if you play the game out of order: https://youtu.be/aA0KgaW513g
I have mostly been playing Baldurs Gate 3 and Beyond All Reason
Ah, yes, BG3. I’ve spent way too many hours on that game already, figured I should replay some other games. Still probably will go back to it though, it’s just so good. Hadn’t heard of Beyond All Reason, but it does look interesting. I see it’s pvp RTS, yes? Pvp is not my thing, but a solo campaign would be nice.
And that video, yeah, I certainly understand that people want to know these things, different outcomes and dialogue, because I do too, it’s the reason I love RPG’s so much, but you see that’s the thing: I do it myself. I already played the Witcher multiple times and did everything in different orders. I’ve played Mass Effect more times than I care to admit and make different choices each time. Doing missions in different orders, or not doing certain missions at all. Letting different people die, making different companions loyal, different romances, paragon/renegade decisions, etc. Same goes for BG3 and Dragon Age and Divinity:OS/2, etc. Any game I enjoy enough to replay, I’ll replay in different ways and it’s so awesome to play a game for the umpteenth time and still find things you haven’t seen before. So I’d prefer no spoilers. I’ll cheat sometimes and just try something out of curiosity, then afterwards I reload. Or I change plot flags. Ha, but most people probably don’t want to spend the time on it and videos are a lot less time-consuming.

I’m starting to think that maybe I’m just really boring. In those situations you describe I’m usually just reading, or maybe watching series.
Isn’t that game some sort of theme park simulator? I agree it sounds weird to get a highscore with just a swimming pool. :p
