StaceyPowers Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 When you are gaming, does it distract you to have someone watching you (i.e. a roommate), and do you mind/not mind it? For the most part, I like having a friend watching me game, because it makes conversation easier for me than it would be without having the game to talk about/watch. But I don’t like someone watching me all the time while gaming, especially while playing something like BioShock where I like to spend a lot of time just looking around and imagining myself in the game. I don’t like the pressure to keep moving and doing stuff when I just want to stare at the scenery.
The Blackangel Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 It depends on what I’m playing. Most of the time I don’t care, but if I’m trying to escape the universe, then I don’t want to even know other people exist. StaceyPowers 1
killamch89 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 To be honest, it doesn't bother me much because at the end of the day, I'm enjoying myself and that's what really matters. StaceyPowers 1
skyfire Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 I hate people on my shoulder while I work or play games. I feel like being controlled when someone is off my shoulder. But that is just me. I don't mind people around while we play in LAN parties or so. StaceyPowers 1
Empire Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Streaming all the time and so I always have people watching me and seeing my facecam. But at times having your family members watching over you is a pain in the ass that I don't like. No idea why but having the family watching is worse. Meaning they might not like what you are doing then they start talking and saying this and that at you or you are gaming and you can't focus on the game since you have eyes over your shoulder.

Kane99 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Yeah, it depends on what I'm playing. Most games I don't mind, but I'm sure there are a few games I don't like people watching. I don't like people watching me play anything that I set to easy mode. If I ever stream or have someone watch me play, I like to play with the difficulty up a bit to kind of show off lol.

Patrik Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 i'm really neutral about it, i mean, as long as they are quite and not contributing with their bad advices and suggestions, it should be fine. off topic : it's fun to brag about how good you are in a game till you start losing when they are around xd

I hate when people bother you while playing, and trying to tell you what you have to do to beat the boss or something. I would like to figure out how to do it on my own, I don't need help. If I do, I'll simply ask. But yeah, it bugs me when people try to tell you how to play.
m76 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I immediately stop playing and pause the game when someone is watching, I'm living out my fantasies in games, and I don't want anyone to see them.
Shole Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I really don't mind either way. I like if people watch me, but I rather they play with me you know. Trash talking doesn't work when only one is palying.
Heatman Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 Seriously, it doesn't really matter to me as long as the person doesn't distract me from my gaming session. It's why most of the time, I make use of headphones to prevent me from getting distracted.
