Are there really people that just watch others videogames instead of playing it themselves?
Conversation with a young intern at work about a videogame
this next generation doesn't play games anymore only watches
YouTube has destroyed culture.
Sure! There are even people who spend their whole day shitposting on the internet about games they've never played instead of playing them.
I have 4 nephews of varying ages. None of them play video games but they watch shit like minecraft lets plays and five nights at freddie's streams. They can watch them all day, yet never want to play anything.
This behavior is unacceptable and I know Monsanto is behind it somehow.
I'm unironically thinking about watching some autismo play the last guardian because I don't want to buy a ps4 just for this game.
My guess is that they're more interested in the other person playing the game than they are the game itself. No friends lol.
walmart has 90 day returns, just sayin'
Yep. I used to work with an 18 year old girl who had a steam account where she downloaded free demos and never played them. The watched let's plays constantly and talked about the games she liked, but never touched any of them, ever.
Also, my oldest kid watches let's plays as well. It seems to be a kid thing. My kid at least plays the games himself though.
So, OP? What's your favorite weapon?
>she downloaded free demos and never played them
Nothing really wrong with watching a game being played and liking it just like you can watch a movie and like it without actually directing it.
TL;DR y'all autistic
inb4 y'all
Ever heard of Persona 5 fans?
Just let them have fun user, society is going to collapse in a couple decades anywaw
That comparison doesn't work you idiot. Games are meant to be played and movies are meant to be watched. Being a fan of a game having only watched someone else play it would be more like being a fan of a movie having only heard about it from someone else, or having read the script or some shit.
>this generation doesn't play games anymore
That's because you faggots only allowed us to watch YOU play, old habits die hard
>Games are meant to be played
Apparently not anymore though and since you are not the owner nor creator of "games" you have no say on this.
Better them than you really games shit, I say this as a big Ico/Collosus fan.
lol, can't believe we already have giga brainlets defending this obvious degeneration in upbringing
enjoy your passive slave army, who enjoy watching other people fuck their wife
>Are there really people that just watch others video games instead of playing it themselves?
>no argument
Figures.
sry m8, you're beyond reason if you can't see why streamer surrogate online friends bad
>"y-you are beyond reason"
>you didn't even try to reason to begin with
Ok.
Stop responding to newfag shitposters.
>FUCK OFF MY GAMES ZOOMERS
*zoomers start watching games instead of playing them*
>WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ZOOMERS REEEEEEE
Autism overload.
>decades
More like months
South park took the piss out of this what, almost ten years ago? You think younger zooms would somehow be different?
Are there really people that just argue with others over videogames instead of playing it themselves?
That's not even the right comparison, you fucking retard. Directing the movie would be akin to directing the game.
Yeah. My younger cousin who I don't see often told me she really liked games and wanted to make them, and when I asked what games she plays she said she doesn't, only watched let's plays and stuff. She's nice but honestly that was baffling to me. She was really enthusiastic too. I think part of it was her mom was super strict so I don't think she was allowed to play video games.
So yeah there are people like that.
The point is that people can enjoy doing something without actually interacting with it. But who am I trying to lie to you already knew this but tried to nitpick the smallest thing in the argument because that's literally all you autists do.
Personally I find retarded as hell that people would rather watch a game being played than to play them them themselves (with a few exception I guess like console exclusives when short on money or whatever) but I'm glad the whole thing exists because seeing all your autistic meltdowns over something so fucking irrelevant is hilarious.
I remember I used to watch longplays as a teenager in ye olde 2006-2008 youtube to cope with the fact my parents didn't want me to have a video game console. For the longest time I was stuck with Visual Boy Advance and Maplestory as my games of choice until I got into highschool and they finally loosened up a bit. Maybe kids just do it so they don't have to beg their parents to buy it? I dunno.
things that have never happened
>Are there really people that just watch others videogames instead of playing it themselves?
yes, the majority of zoomers on Yas Forums today
The way Miyazaki talked down to the poor animator about how his zombie monster thing was an insult to life and how it reminded him of his cripple friend is peak retarded boomer, double points for it being some old jaded Japanese boomer. It was the most cringe shit example I've seen of some fucking boomer thinking he's holier than anyone else in the world. What a humongous cunt.
>The point is that people can enjoy doing something without actually interacting with it
the point here isn't "anything without interaction it's bad"
it's "watching something passively that's meant to be interacted with is fucking boring". there's nothing wrong with watching shows/movies because those are meant to be watched. games are meant to be played
>things that have never happened
happens twice a day in this board though stay deluded seems like I did strike a nerve right there
you're a skimpy weekminded faggot if you think anyone has ever stopped playing a game because someone said "go away zoom zoom"
you're retarded nuff said
>is fucking boring
To you.
You people are nothing but self-centered retards that think everything revolves around them.
Yes, this board is full of them.
>no argument
>fuming hard
got u good EZ
to be fair persona 5 also has an anime
>Watch other people play games instead of playing them yourself
>Watch other people fuck your wife instead of fucking her yourself
>Watch other people travel the world instead of travelling yourself
>Listen to people having interesting discussions with their peers instead of having them yourself
Is there anything more pathetic and passive than zoomers and people who use social media? Honestly, if someone tells me they enjoy *inser e-celeb here* I cut them out of my life. The only exception is my boomer dad, who listens to one or two podcasts, but that's only because he's old and weak
>Ask him what his favorite weapon is
You mean ask him what his favorite character is as all normies play are cinematic movie games.
Sports were meant to be played and they shifted into a form of entertainment. Things shift over time and in this case games have shifted from just a form of interactive entertainment to a form of passive entertainment. Like or hate it, but things are what they are whether some people like it or not.
