Not gunha get much info from a few minutes, though.I’ve watched plenty of videos for info but not more than a few minutes of someone streaming a game unless its some sort of premier for something new. However, there are some guys who I find entertaining and watch even if I’m not even playing or own the game shown in the video. Destiny players like Datto and Mtashed are guys who give good info while remaining fun to watch. The always entertaining Mr. Fruit plays a ton of different games and always makes me laugh and there is this awesome guy named SuperGT who uploads awesome races of Gran Turismo Sport and Forza who also races in real life. I don’t even own those sim racers and yet I’ll watch a 20min race because his commentary and race gameplay is so much fun to watch.
The great tging about streams for a consumer is it is just somebody playing a game. Youtube videos can be misleading cause you cut and edit and ultimately show only what you want to show, same as the advertisement trailers.
A stream is just a gamer playing a game, flaws and all. A far better yard stick for judging a game than a video/written review or marketing videos.
