Watching a game is a fundamentally different experience than playing a game for a number of reasons and I've watched full playthroughs of games that I had no intent to ever play. I watched Best Friend's full Beyond: Two Souls playthrough because the game was hilarious and served as a great base for commentary as well as discussion on how the game royally fucked up.

If you would have played the game yourself you'd have formed your own opinion and probably seen it isn't so. You'd have spent the same amount of time for a far more enriching experience.

Same amount of time? Sure, but it would have also cost me more money and once again, been a fundamentally different experience. More enriching experience? Highly debatable. I had known for a long time that Beyond wasn't for me, due to the way it plays. Watching the playthrough just highlighted how absolutely broken the story was regardless of what was being said about it...and my goodness was the story broken.

I wont comment on the pros and cons of how the game feels to play of course, but I don't need to personally play the game to see that the story is a mess.
