StaceyPowers Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 When you are watching someone else play games next to you, is it hard to restrain the urge to give them suggestions, especially if you see them making a really bad mistake or they are complaining about being frustrated?

killamch89 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I only intervene when it's clearly needed. Otherwise, I just shut the hell up and let them play their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I keep shut when the player doesn't feel like needing an assistant, I simply turn a big time spectator until my watching time is exhausted Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you're there, what's my concern, by the way I came to satisfy my curiosity. When he or she doesn't want my assistant I'll watch until the time is alright for me.

Family sedan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I used to "backseat drive," now I don't. I don't recall the last time I've seen a friend or loved one play a game, but I feel like I wouldn't "backseat drive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to put myself in someone else's shoes so even if I was tempted to help them or want to say something, most people like to figure out things for themselves so I stay quiet until they ask.

The Blackangel Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) If it's a game I have interest in like RDR2, then I just sit back and enjoy watching them play. If they're trying to figure something out but having trouble, I'm willing to help out, but otherwise I keep quiet. If it's a game I'm well educated on, I'm always willing to help. If not, I try to help, but usually just make the situation worse. If it's either a game I'm not familiar with or not interested in, then I typically don't pay much attention. Games like the Skylanders series and Fable series. Neither interest me, so I don't really pay attention when someone is playing them. I've watched gameplay before on both, and they bore the shit out of me. Edited October 2, 2021 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I can just do that, providers I am.learning from the players, or enjoying the game in which they are playing. GTA S.A is simply the game I enjoy watching others play, even though I am not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
