If you’ve seen my other post on this comm, you probably know why I am asking this. However, even if I did have a PC, I don’t think I would have the time and energy to play a game anyway. That’s why I’m now starting to prefer walkthroughs/playthroughs over actually playing the game myself. I know it’s not a replacement for a PC but it’s still enjoyable regardless. Also, my very first exposure to big games was actually through YouTube lets plays in the first place. What do you all think?

    I completely understand that they’re a different experience but if I wanted to somewhat see a game’s story, would a playthrough suffice?

      Yes. You probably will miss out on branching paths if any exist, but you will miss out on those in a regular playthrough anyway.

      You also probably should’ve asked this question instead of the one in the title of the thread—they’re two fundamentally different questions.

      I know narrative-driven games are dominant nowadays, but not every game is narrative-driven.
