Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about this game I played recently. It’s a delivery simulator that’s absolutely brilliant when you’re playing it yourself. But here’s the thing: it’s probably the most boring game ever to watch someone else play.
I can’t help but wonder if anyone else has had this experience. You know, where a game is super engaging when you’re in control, but it loses all its charm when you’re just observing?
What do you think makes this particular game so captivating for the player but so dull for viewers? Is it the slow-paced nature of deliveries? The focus on small details? Or maybe it’s just one of those ‘you had to be there’ kind of experiences?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Have you played any games that fit this description? Let’s chat about it!
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is definitely one of those games. Cruising down virtual highways is oddly relaxing when you’re playing, but I can see how it’d be a snoozefest to watch. The appeal is in the chill vibes and sense of progress you get while driving.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 fits that bill too. Driving for hours is relaxing when you’re playing, but watching someone else do it? Snoozeville. It’s all about the zen feeling behind the wheel.
Death Stranding’s definitely one of those games. When you’re playing, figuring out routes and managing your cargo is super engaging. But yeah, watching someone else trudge across landscapes can be a snooze fest. It’s all about that hands-on experience.
Totally agree about Death Stranding. It’s one of those games where the magic is in the little decisions you make moment to moment. Planning routes, balancing cargo, and just existing in that world is weirdly satisfying when you’re playing. But I can see how watching someone else do all that would be pretty boring. It’s definitely a ‘gotta experience it yourself’ kind of game.
Death Stranding fits that description perfectly. Watching someone walk for hours is dull, but playing it yourself is oddly addictive. The world-building and atmosphere really suck you in when you’re in control.
