I can watch a lets play and form a different opinion than the one that's playing it,what you are saying does not closely reflect on all people that have not played the game. I have every right to judge the story and if i liked it i would have stopped watching the lets play and bought the game,i like to spend my money on games that entertain me. |
You can judge the story to a certain degree, but to truly judge the game you need to play it. You cannot judge how the gameplay 'feels' for example, and you certainly cannot gain an accurate reflection of the overall package. Watching a games story unfold is not equivalent to experiencing the story unfold. Again, i'm not saying you can't get any sort of insight from watching a trailer or lets play, and I have no issues with people trying to make informed monetary purchases, but it's superficial compared to the act of playing it.
