Even as a kid I always loved watching my friends play games as I sat back and watched. They'd always ask me to join in games and I would join in at times but I always enjoyed watching. Today I feel the same way. And although I too love playing, it's fun to see other's approach to a game I love. Even enjoy watching friends play games I otherwise would have no interest in. For example, I always liked watching my friend play Final Fantasy X. Would never play the game myself, but seeing it and learning it's story as he went on was fun.

Anyone else feel the same at all?

i am sure many feel the way you do... theres reasons Lets Plays get millions of views a week

In a similar boat and feel towards watching others play games. Used to watch my older cousin play FPS games (before all the youtube stuff) and seeing how good he was made me too embarrassed to try it myself in front of him when offered...he was too good. But it was fun watching him approach games and it set the bar on how good I needed to be.

More recently, the wifey enjoyed sitting through me playing Last of Us...the story was very appealing to her and not once did she even want to play.

Yes. Some times or some games i rather watch being played than play myself.

It can be fun if you're in the room with the person who is playing the game, but I've never really enjoyed "Let's Play" videos. Half the fun of watching someone play a game is mocking them when they die, and that just isn't the same through a youtube comment box

I cannot watch people play games for amusemant. I would much rather play the game myself.
