So I was talking to my buddy yesterday and he asked me about Batman: Arkham Knight and his son overheard us and came out to say "I can tell you everything about the game's story cause I watched the videos. You wanna know what happens?" I was like "why even play games at all if you're just gonna know what happens and it's no fun then?" He was like "I do it all the time, my friends at school do it too. We don't care about the story."
Is this a thing? Like is it somehow a new fad for kids today to see what's going to happen before you experience it? I can understand being stuck and looking for a guide to help you out, but really who wants to just watch the story unfold without even playing the games? I'm lost at that last line he said...they don't care about the story? I know not every game has a good story but what's the point of most games if you aren't following along with the story? I guess maybe it's the same as those "lets play" videos that I don't understand the point of either.
