Does this look like a game who enjoys videogames can play? No, the videogame part is there just to let you immerse into the story a little better. But everyone is there for the story. The cinematic experience.
Like, I never touched Rimworld, but when I saw Gura playing it it looked interesting and currently I have 800 hours in it.
Did the same happen when she played the usual horror shit games she likes? Of course not. They're not videogames. They're just interactive movies. And I never watch movies alone because it feels so fucking lame, without counting that movies in general are a shit medium. You can barely tell a decent story in a 5 40 minutes TV episodes, go figure what kind of rushed garbage are movies. They're shit. The best way to enjoy a story is, as usual, a good book. Even VNs or fucking nukiges are more worth it than movies nowdays.
But back to videogames. Gura has been slaying these zombies in the same, exact way for 2 hours and a half at this point. That's not gameplay. This is just dumb hassle put inside a movie, to let these normalfags who now think that being a gamer is cool (while they shunned it for 30+ years) feel like, well, gamers. While they'll never feel the struggle. The tension. The adrenaline. Of fighting hard bosses. Even the average otaku playing some shitty doujin shmups enjoys videogames more than the "people" whose these "videogames" target to.
I'm glad Gura exists and plays these games. Besides her being a beautiful person, by letting me pl-, huh, enj- Eeehhh, watch these gam- interactive movies I can converse with my friends about this shit trash and they unironically believe I actually played them myself. Why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO GAMEPLAY TO TALK ABOUT, OF COURSE, OR THEY'D NOTICE.
And after conversing with them for minutes I then tell them I actually never played them and just watched a streamer play them, and that's where I hit them and tell them they don't enjoy videogames, they enjoy movies. And they try to counterargument me but they can't, and they know. They LOVE their easy baby mode interactive movie shit. They're good doggies.
This world is over.
