What normalfags do you have? All I know would rather watch others play and hope to become le ebin streamer or next pewdiepie themselves.
I'd rather play videogames for myself, same with sports.

You're comparison is complete shit.
Football is a competitive sport. You know what else is? Esports. That's a fair comparison. Two opposing sides competing for victory, one IRL, the other digitally.
A fair comparison for a lets play would be watching anywhere from one person to a small group of people autistically kick a football to each other while making stupid jokes about what they're doing.

Yes, let's watch a million people do renovations you'll never do, or watch people buy a million houses you'll never own.

Yeah, it's the exact same goddamned thing.

>>322049124
There's an actual competition going on. On a level most people could never compete on personally. That's why compating them to e sports is apt.
Nobody gives a fuck about the commentary when watching a football game or esports. Watching a let's play is watching something you could easily be doing yourself, while some faggot makes "funny" comments.
I could understand if you were poor or trying to see if a game is worth purchasing. The people who use them as a friend simulator are fucking pathetic.
>>322045683
>normalfags dont undertand the pleasure of lets plays watching others play the game
On the contrary, faggot, normies are the ones infiltrating our hobby and spreading that sort of shit around.
>>322050005
>i dont like it therefore i'm right
>>322050537
But I am right. Comparing people who watch competition between two or more people to autists who watch people play games and make "funny" comments because thry have no friends isn't fair. That isn't to say there aren't sports fans that take it too seriously and become just as pathetic as let's play faggots.

Normalfag casuals are the ones watching let's plays like losers instead of experiencing the game themselves.
They're the same people who would like to see their girlfriends get fucked by a black man.
>>322051595
I agree with you that you can't really compare sports with lets plays, but I want to know your reasoning as to why "competition" makes things more worthy of being watched.
>>322045683
>normalfags dont undertand the pleasure of lets plays watching others play the game
What are you even saying? Let's Plays are one of the most normalfag things I can think of.
I'd say a better comparison is with reality shows
in both cases you're watching a sad display of humanity that can be used as a negative point on "is humanity worth it?" question

>>322045683
Normies love Let's Plays though. They get to 'experience' the game without having to do shit. They also claim it's for the personalities. Normies just like watching stuff in general.
Also, watching somebody play a video game isn't like watching people play sports. U less they're tuning in to watch a few middle-aged men kick a ball around a garden.
u thought the whole point of a lets play was to show unedited game play that doesnt hide any problems/buggs so you dont waste money on drek
every one says you gota play this or that online but you can just check the game out before any money changes hands
this includes any graphical differences between versions for multi plat. but you can also just watch a vid about that done by a credible source

Dude already said that. You are watching competitions that most people could never be able to participate personally. It's watching actual professionals on that competition. LPs are watching your incompetent neighboor play soccer while doing "funny" comments.

>Video games are interactive, a comedy show isn't.
We're talking about lets plays. Lets plays aren't intertactive, neither are comedy shows
>Besides, anyone can play a video game
The video game in this is secondary it's the comedy we go there for and it's the comedy that require skill.
>A better analogy would be watching someone solve a jigsaw puzzle while cracking lame jokes.
Are the jokes related to the jigsaw puzzle?

I'm more mocking your lack of punctuation. You can sum up any opinion as "I don't like it therefore I'm right" or "I like it therefore I'm right".
But hey, I'm sure you'll just respond with something like "ur dumb polfag gtfo".
His arguments might not have been great, but he pointed out that people watch professional football for the players, not the commentators. The commentators basically exist as white noise to make the broadcast more entertaining as you aren't actually at the stadium.
That's why he compared it to professional gameplay. People usually don't care about the commentators, they care about the actual gameplay. Something like GameGrumps is just commentary over really bad gameplay on the other hand.
>>322051917
When you type "you" with parenthesis, you're not trolling the person you're replying to because they'll see your post anyways. You're messing with everyone else that ctrl-f's.I'm not one of those people so I'm fine with it, just wanted to let you know.

>>322049124
People listen to the commentator while they watch football -- the real focus. Now you might say people listen to the lets player while they watch the game -- the real focus also, but no.
Watching Man U in champions league, for example, isn't as accessible to watch as a game you can hop on twitch/youtube and watch, legally anyway. You also can't go and play for Man U like you can go and purchase a game and play it
>inb4 but it doesn't need to be Man U
Well the supporter is interested in that specific team, just as a lets play viewer is interested in that specific game. Again, it's not as accessible as sport.
>inb4 it should be compared to you playing the sport just as you can play the game yourself
A lot of the time the viewer has that same game right in front of them. No need to go outside, exercise or do it at a specific time.
Sports is usually watching trained people compete (like another anon said, Esports would be better comparison), but also populated by the judgemental Chads of society, while vidya is still, for some reason, perceived as nerd toys. Also the football players' noises usually isn't as important as the game's noises a lets player is playing. A lot of the time they stupidly scream over it and drown out the game's noise.
Despite what I said, I think it's the same thing, but the most popular lets players aren't about the game, but the person acting retarded, which is just silly
>>322056647
i agre why shud i evn bthr not typng lik a rtard XD lik omg its 4Chan lik it dosnt evn matr
Also I like how you didn't even address any of the points I made in my post. You focused on a single sentence and wrote the rest off with tl;dr even though anyone with an attention span greater than a seven year old could have quickly read through it.
>>322056074
If you have such an underdeveloped sense of humor that you think LPs are funny, or that their commentary requires skill, then there's no point in continuing this. Feel free to type up some counterpoint about how wrong I am, though. I won't read it.

no. it's the same as watching competitive game competitions.

Sometimes I would just rather watch someone else play a game. Is that so bad? Sometimes I also feel a little lonely and like to pretend the lper is a closer personal friend. There is nothing wrong with this.
