Do you watch people play games on youtube/switch?

[DougGraves]

I don't watch people play computer game.  But we started watching Tabletop and watched people playing board games.  It's pretty fun to watch. 

 

Then I started watching people play RPGs.  Relics and Rarities is a great D&D campaign.  We've watched several others.

I’ve never watched people play video games. Never really had any interest in doing so.  
 

I did however discover Critical Role a couple months ago and have been watching that. Despite being into fantasy and sci-fi my whole life I never explored Dungeons & Dragons. This show however is amazing and makes me really interested in the age old RPG. Best way I can describe it like watching an audio book.

I watch some Video game that are turned into a sort of Cutscene/important gameplay movie 

 

Saves me money for games / I don't own any consoles / my computer isn't the newest / etc. 

 

A really good one I watched recently ..

I watch IGP he usually does horror themed games and screams like a little girl which makes me laugh.

I also watch Fudgemuppet for the ESO, Skyrim, and Fallout lore and builds.

I highly recommend Relics and Rarities.  Same thing as Critical Role but only 12 hours long.

I only have a few channels I watch but yes. Cinemassacre (wish they'd start playing games again), Neebs Gaming and SNESDrunk mostly. I don't watch Twitch streams.

 Usually, once a week, I'll hunt COH on YouTube and filter by "within the last week".  I'll watch COH videos that way, which I presume are with the other COH efforts out there, though I do occasionally stumble across one which clearly violates Homecoming's posting policy.  I find them mildly entertaining, or often frustrating as I watch some that should be a well-oiled machine by now stumble along well into their 20s.    I sometimes get inspiration or a new tactic from watching these.

A Link to the Past: Randomizer races. A new spin on a loved classic. I have also rolled a few seeds and played them myself. No where near as fast as the runners beat them, but puzzles solved, nonetheless.

I can't watch more than a few minutes of any particular game. My YouTube viewing is limited mostly to mechanical repair guides (auto and appliance) or techie/gadget reviews. Occasionally I watch people repair handheld consoles. But I'm not really into watching someone stream live gaming or posting of gameplay after the fact. Just not for me.

[Rathulfr]

I do not like to watch other people playing games, computer or otherwise.

I usually watch a person play a bit of a game before I buy it myself.

 

I also watch some Youtubers/Twich streamers off and on, whenever they are playing a game that interest me, or there is a new release/DLC. These are usually people much more skilled at the game than I am, where I hope to learn something, get some inspiration, or find the way they tell stories/play the game interesting.

 

A few examples:

DDRJake: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8b4hCq0aHQbl0v2il0tR_A  Especially his Paradox content. He also has unwatchable stuff, but some of his games are the best strategy gameplay I have ever seen. A quarter of a million people have watched his world conquest as Ryukyu/Okinawa, all 68 hours of it.

Etho: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFKDEp9si4RmHFWJW1vYsMA  Because he is just the best Canadian in the world.

The Mighty Jingles:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpnjlvS2zxhbNJuGNo_TxkQ  For his humour.

Quill18:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbx1TZgxfIauUZyPuBzEwZg  For the hats, inspiration and variation.

 

I am not sure if Kruggsmash counts: https://www.youtube.com/user/kruggsmash   But his stories in Dwarf Fortress are very good.

The only games I watch are Minecraft builders for ideas and the other is to support Stream Raiders since I worked in the past with several of the devs that created it. If you've not heard of it, Stream Raiders allows viewers to play in a browser-based game alongside the streamer they're watching, for streamers (Stream Captains) they can play quest maps or PvP with their followers lending a hand in the fight and is intended to be played in just a few minutes, so during loading screens or down time.
