Watching people play video games on Youtube

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else like going on there to watch someone play a video game and they upload it. Sometimes I use it as a walk through when I get stuck rather than reading the walk through on Gamespot.

I love watching speed runs. Seeing someone beat a game that took me months to do as a ten year old in the space of 2 hours brings back memories for me

I have watched people play a couple horror games that I am unlikely to play because I don't own it, and I tend to have a pretty hard time with horror games. And recently I have been watching a guy doing a lets play of an old N64 game or centemental reasons, and I am familiar of some of an abridged series he did of Phoenix Wright, which is almost watching someone play a game.

Finding a clip of someone playing can also be usefull for doing or finding something hard, or some rather difficult bosses. It is rather interesting seeing how other people play games, sometimes I can be amazed on their efficency, and other times see the lack of it, which makes me feel good, I kind of have an almost obsessive nature of maximising amount of ammunition carried, reloading after every gun fight, and tend to not do things like carrying high powered but few use weapons/attacks. Good to get a new outlook.

OMG....my 6yo son has Aspergers and absolutely LOVES to watch Mario on you tube, also Sonic. YES he figures out how to do a lot watching them played on you tube,and just lovesto watch it for entertainment. It drives me crazy, but he loves it!

Used to watch HellfireComms on youtube, but they seem to have been updating less and less over time. NintendoCaprisun is very entertaining, as is TheRunawayGuys. Although they are video game reviewers and don't play through the whole game, both Classic Game Room and the Angry Video Game Nerd are also funny.

I like to do that sometimes. I used to watch my biggest brother play games all day. It's odd when I think about it but I just like it. Watched an entire lets play of Toonstruck once. Youtube it, it's pretty odd stuff.

I do this a lot.

Before I had Skyrim I probably watched almost every Skyrim walkthrough+fun things to do in Skyrim video that had over 1000 views. I think walkthroughs are great. Saves you money you may end up spending on a walkthrough book!

It is interesting to watch reviews or first looks of the game's first 20 minutes or so too. They also help me find out about different games I would have otherwise not known about. MMOhut is an awesome channel on YT if you like reviews+commentary and first looks!

Watching some good players play the games I play is also something I enjoy a lot. I was recently watching a sweet montage of one of the games I play. It had great music and visual content.

Some times I do not like watching spoilers or cheats that make you do better in a game. I'm really tempted to cheat in Skyrim since checking a few out. Of coarse I refuse, since it would take a lot of the enjoyment out of the game in the long run.

I love watching competitive Starcraft 2 matches. I have no actual experience playing the game in multiplayer but find tournament play fascinating as a spectator.

OMG I do this too. My faves to watch are:

Lands of lore
Star Wars: the knights of the old republic 1 and 2
Star Wars: the old republic (newest)

I might try to find some kings quest later.

I like the commentaries, but lately with my newest obsession, some of them are a bit boring.

Lands of lore was my fave to watch, coz I love watching the old memories come pouring back into my life.

I love doing that

IrateGamer is like AVGN, Kikoskia is good but I suggest watching a bit of Ultima VII, X-Com, Ultimate Doom and Resident Evil before deciding he is not as good.
Chugga is an Autie by the way...
