I don't find it insulting to the devs to watch a Let's Play. That way, anyone can enjoy the scenery, atmosphere, & lore as a spectator. IE, I watch my partner play Assassins Creed Odyssey because I don't have much time for open-world games anymore. I still appreciate it that way

Are you sure, cuz you just typed it up there. It’s “reductive and insulting” because they also built a beautiful world with things to go find and places to explore, she offers the counterpoint of enjoying it vicariously. So what’s the difference between what she said and yours?

Yes, I'm sure lol. Read the tweet properly, guys. I never said watching let's plays was bad - I watch them! I said it was insulting to the many great aspects of the games to suggest a lets play is automatically a better option for anyone who doesn't play primarily for difficulty

I feel like that's subjective though when the games are designed for the purpose of being difficult and overcoming challenges.

Of course! And for some people let's plays are a more fun way to experience it without the struggle. But it's insulting to the devs to suggest it's the ONLY way for someone to enjoy the game who doesn't play it JUST for the difficulty. That was my point

In other words: These games have loads of fun elements to their gameplay outside of just the difficulty. And if someone enjoys those elements more than they enjoy the difficulty, telling them just watch a let's play instead is reductive.

I don't necessarily agree when the degree of challenge is a key part of the game just as much as the exploration, but I think we can agree to disagree on this.

I mean, I agree with that. My point is that it's not the only part of the game that's enjoyable, not that it isn't key
I've played through the Soulsbourne's 4-5 times each and my fave parts are always exploring & finding secrets
