What video games would you rather watch someone else play than play it yourself?
What video games would you rather watch someone else play than play it yourself?
For me, it is any city/building construction game like City Skylines, Two Point Hospital, Planet Zoo etc.

None ... I understand how video games work. You play them.
Lol, being down voted because I liked to play video games.
You're not being downvoted for your view. You're being downvoted for your condescending tone.
My spouse and I are gamers. It’s fun to introduce them to a game and watch them experience it for the first time. Every now and then they don’t like a game I’ve introduced, and other times they end falling in love with the game. Right now my spouse is introducing me to Hades, and they’re watching my experiences with it: it’s a good game so far, but they rave about it so I wanted to know what it’s like. We get to hang out while they watch me play, and it’s quality time together. Who knows, maybe this will be a favorite game of mine too?
I don’t watch strangers online play games, but let’s pretend there’s a content creator who I enjoy watching, is close to my age, and I enjoy their personality. How cool would it be to watch that person play some of my favorite games: nostalgic games, ones that inspired me, introduced me to new concepts, broke me, etc. If I aligned with that content creator, I’d love to hear what they think - what they liked and didn’t like about the game, how they felt with the thought-provoking moments, etc.
With that said, some persons like to watch others play games for these reasons and more.
Oh, I get why people like watching games, I've watched people play games lots. But mostly I've watched when I can't play a game myself. I had a job with a lot of downtime for a while, and while I couldn't install games on the computer, I could watch twitch or YouTube all I liked. But given the choice, I'd much rather be playing the games.
Oh man we're going to tell the NFL, FIFA, and the others that fans are out of line and must be prevented from watching any games.
P.s. you're being downvoted for a gatekeepy asshole comment.
I'm not saying anybody is out of line... I'm just saying * I * would rather play games than watch them. And I think games are most fun when played (which I don't think is really a crazy statement).
But it's true, I'm not really into spectating sports either, I don't get much out of it. I would much rather play a pickup game of basketball than watch the NBA finals.
You play them.
Funny how that means "I".
