If you're retarded enough, yes.

maybe if it’s a VN

Nope

Yes. You never played your favorite movie.

Your movie isn't a game

It should be its own category, or word. Certainly not "fan"

I want to say no, but I haven't met a Touhou fan who is exclusively a fan of the video games

retard

I know a blind guy who loves the never ending story because of the audio and lines. So I guess?

We call those secondaries

Yes, as long as you've watched a Let's Play and seen a review from a Youtuber whose opinions generally line up with yours.

Omega lul
*presses play button to play movie*

I guess he could be a "fan" of the game's music, or even maybe its writing if he watched it on YouTube. "Fan" seems like the wrong word though.

Can you be a fan of basketball if you've only watched your girlfriend's boyfriend play?

>Yes. You never played your favorite movie.
what did he mean by this?

Well I'm exclusively like that as a fan of Touhou Luna Nights

no you stupid nigger faggot now fucking kill yourself

Sure, you can be a "fan" of it, I guess, but you can't claim to have truly experienced it. Unless it's a movie game, of course.

No, and remember to be suspicious of this phenomena whenever you're arguing about a game you've actually played on the internet
There's a whole generation of post-let's play "gamers" who watch more games to completion than they play for themselves, and think their opinion is just as valid

I've played most of the mainline 2hu games and have never read a 2hu doujin or wanked to the porn in my life. I have listened to fan remixes of the music though.

Kojima fans beg to differ.

you can if the game is very story drivin or if the is on a system you dont own or have

fascinating

uh, sweety, you can't just gatekeep video game criticism to those who've played them.

You can be a fan of the designs/lore/secondary material. That doesn't mean you are a fan of the games themselves.

that would be funny if this wasn't how professional game criticism and journalism actually operated

Imagine the disappointment when he finds out that Earthbound is just a normal game without the charm that he believes the game has because of bait analysis on youtube.

Can you be a fan of a game that you have not completed?

Yes, you can be fans of instruments or music you've never played.

If you're a fan of it why wouldn't you complete it?

Only if there's one route to play the game, no choices which you can make which can affect the game's story or gameplay drastically

according to gamefaqs, the answer is yes.

God i hate this one. Portal is literally a 2 hour game fuck this normalfag

thats a parody article btw

I think the only games I ever did that with were Portal and Portal 2 and only because I knew I'd never play them myself.

There are a few games that I think are really good, but I haven't played them. This is either because of hardware limitations (Ex. Last of us, it's very good but never owned a playstation), or I think the story/mechanics are good for the series, but the core gameplay isn't interesting (ex. new horizons is a good game, but i don't like the AC formula).

wow user i never would've fucking guessed

Yeah sure why not elitism is for losers

Nop, cuz you're fan of the guy playing it.

fuck no, anybody who says otherwise is either baiting or retarded.

She's probably just a brainlet who couldn't solve a room. At least she admitted defeat instead of looking up a solution

>if you've never had sex that means you can't be heterosexual

I think you can appreciate it and understand it’s importance. “Fan” implies a whole different relationship though

>if you've never had sex that means you can't be a fan of having sex
ftfy

I don’t like to call things a false equivalency because I think it’s an overused rhetorical device. But this is 100% a false equivalency

No. Next.

Hey, I finished the first part of TLOU

This. I suck at fighting games but I really love Street Fighter's characters.

So you admit you're not a fan of having sex with women. Then you're not heterosexual.

Where do you think most fanwank character pick fanbases come from for Smash rosterfagging?

Definition of heterosexual:
>(of a person) sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex.
In care you're too much of a brainlet to understand, all you have to do to be heterosexual is be attracted to people of the opposite sex, not have sex with them.

I'm a fan of the first Drakengard, even though I never beat the game completely. I resorted to reading the story online through a wiki instead since the gameplay was tedious.

Apparently half-life has billions of fans.

>"dude no homo bro I'm just not a fan of having sex with women"
sure.

Well here i am
Played them all up to 13
Love the gameplay, ABSOLUTELY love the music but i dont really care about the lore or the girls desu

I am a fan of HL:A but am a poorfag. The game looks really fun and seems to be less gimmicky then other vr games

If its Drakengard and ONLY if its Drakengard, then its okay.
Tho the pain and suffering of the gameplay its part of the experience, that being said it still doesnt make it a good experience really

Which are the series with more """""""""""""fans""""""""""""""""?, for me are

touhou
persona
FF

Thats not a very excited face tho
It looks like he just now realized its turn based

>Sonic
>Undertale
>Zelda

I've played MGS4 and it was top kino

touhou secondaries sometimes don't even know the games exist so yeah

That's true because I don't own a PlayStation.

>a virgin who's watched porn is as good at sex as Chad Thundercock

Same. I fucking suck at 2hu but I like pretty much everything else about it. Especially the fap material.
