Game Over yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh. So true.



Playing a sport, and watching a sport are far from the same thing. There is a reason ESPN typically employs players/coaches for analytical roles, and journalists/beat writers typically don't get the same level of respect.

If you ever played basketball, you'd understand more than just dunking and shooting. You'd understand defensive sets, rotations, reads, patterns, footwork, I can go on and on. Your casual fan who just watches generally won't know about any of that.



Carpentry involves copying/following directions/blueprints etc, and is a terrible example.



So you're saying, you'd trust a professional video game reviewer, who didn't actually play the game? The point of a video game is to play it. If you watch videos from EQ, do you even really have any idea whats truly going on if you've never played? Show an EQ raid video to someone who has never played EQ, and ask them what they think. I'm sure it'll be "Duhhh the graphics stink", because all the can see is graphics, they aren't experiencing gameplay.

I am just going to post this as my final response.

I am not going to argue with you what experience is.
