Games you love watching BUT....

There's already a bunch of dinosaur-themed games, as well as various Jurassic Park titles. Even Telltale made one, before they worked on The Walking Dead.

The only dino game currently in development that looks somewhat interesting is thePrimal or whatever. It's in early access though, so it's hard to tell whether it'll be a quality title.

I'd love a proper dinosaur game. Dinosaurs are about 65 million times cooler than zombies.

I think one of my dream games is an open world dinosaur game. Doesn't even have to be Jurassic Park, in fact probably be better if it wasn't.

That's one of the aspects I'm looking forward to in Xenoblade X. I know they aren't really dinosaurs but the scale and design of some of the creatures I've seen in that game look really cool.

(Though honestly, my dream playthroughs are ones where the player makes ZERO commentary and just goes at their own pace rather than racing through, most of the time...)

I completely agree. In my experience, narration can really take away from playthrough videos. Sometimes it can add to it but rarely do I find myself looking forward to someone's commentary.

Now I've played these games long ago, and technically didn't buy them myself and I don't intend on playing them anymore, so I'm all good to say that I like watching FiFi stream speed runs of Luigi's Manson and Mario Sunshine while I'm playing Animal Craft. The best parts are when something really random and stupid happens to kill the run. REKT.

Oh god, I can't imagine the rage on some of those speed runs being killed. One reason I've never done them lol don't have the patience.

It always looks hilarious and fun but I think I'd be bad at it and also I get the vibe that it's community is the type that's a stereotypical "yell over the mic on Xbox Live" type group, but I dunno for sure. BUT it's on PC so I ain't down for that.

Yeah, same here - I find it so distracting! If I'm going to watch a full playthrough of a game, I want to watch the game itself unfold as if I were playing it, without hearing every single thought and remark the player's making. If I'm in the mood for commentary I go straight to Roosterteeth for that stuff and get my fix, but again, those are two different situations... I wonder how many people actually enjoy random commentary throughout playthroughs. I just know I'm not one of them. /shrug

 

[ShinyYoshi]

On the other hand, I'm a big Rooster Teeth / Achievement Hunter fan so I watch them play pretty much anything just for the commentary.

I could watch them play the most boring game on the planet and they could still make it the best experience. Rooster Teeth is the bomb. Rage Quit with Michael has to be my absolute favorite.

Well, I own it, but I'm really bad at it. So I don't play often.

But, Starcraft 2.

Depends on the server you play on. I don't run into people like that often, because the one I go on are generally people older than 20, and they're pretty respectful to one another.

As for being bad at it... it does take some practice. I've been playing for a few years and while I would say I am pretty good at it, when I look at people like STAR_ playing TF2 they're miles ahead of me. I can never hope to be as good as them.

 

[oranges_ate_you]

GTA in general. It looks fun and people do some funny stuff but when I play it, it seems like I can't get any funny happenings and it's not worth my time

id mess up so bad if i played.

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

Telltale games and other games of the like. It's much more fun watching other people get emotional over a decision. I'm not really the type to play games with barely any actual gameplay such as Beyond Two Souls or The Walking Dead.

I kinda like point and click/adventure and visual novel/dating sim or whatever so that is a reverse for me, haha

I'm the opposite. I try to play "right" most of the time, but it usually ends in me doing some ridiculous stunt or causing hilarious mayhem XD

I really wish I could like them but it's just not my thing. I hate it too sometimes because I've heard how games like Phoenix Wright are really good. But when I watch gameplay of them I just don't think I'd enjoy it lol

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I played the first episode of The Walking Dead S1 game, but I watched the rest on YouTube. I also watched Cryostasis which looked like an interesting game. I rarely watch a game series unless I can't actually play it myself.

I wouldn't say PW are the best if you want to try them. The Wolf Among Us are a good western one, if you anime ones I recommend Planetarian~the reverie of a little planet and Narcissu 1st & 2nd.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check those out.

Same! Pretty much any scary game, or anything that's time-sensitive (so that includes Majora's Mask with the three-day thing or whatever the hell it is) - it all stresses me out hardcore and I end up unable to even progress very far, if at all. I'm horrible with all that stuff.

I was worried about the Majora's Mask 3 day thing too, before I bought it. Looked on online and apparently you'd have to pretty much speedrun it (and miss a lot of content) to beat in the 3 days. So evidently, you're not supposed to beat in the that amount of time anyway.

Not sure if that helps, but I had the same thoughts as you about that game. I'm not as concerned anymore after reading about what it takes to beat the game, how your "suppose" to play, etc...
