I know what you mean about that. I went and watched Amnesia The Dark Descent online. It honestly isn't as scary as many people make it out to be. I think I'm going to do the same with MW3 because my computer can't take it currently.

well at least you don't need to watch the gameplay videos, since it's exactly the same as mw1 and 2

I'm not a fan of this too, but I did it with Amnesia like pong who commented below me. More fun indeed.

Compard to games fom the 90s the modern shooters are nothing other then movies with a slight level of interaction and as those they don't deserve being actually played by hearted gamers. They had it coming, watch it on YouTube as long as it's not banned.

This is being my opinion of Jurassic Park too. It's not really being an actual game, but rather a movie... but I have to say, up to what little I've been able to see, it *is* a pretty neat movie.

I should have done that. You sure don't have to buy MW3 for the multiplayer part. Play your old MW2 or BO instead. Hopefully less cheaters, for sure better maps, better balance in weapons and more options for the PC.

This is pretty much the only thing you can do if you want to inspect a game without having the console to actually play it. I did it for both Batman Arkham games, and I'm not ashamed.

@Hooligan Gamer: Normally, I would agree with you. But I just did this and I got the same experience as when I marathoned my cousin's MW2 in a day. Except this time I did it in a fraction of the time and without the headache that came from sitting in front of a TV mindlessly shooting things all day.

I found the game Amnesia to be boring and tedious and since I found the horror aspect to be too predictable and mostly relies on you freaking yourself out than actually scaring you, I found it way more fun to just watch someone (day[9]) who is afraid of the game, play it.

@Hooligan Gamer: If story is the main focus of the game, then the nearly same experience can be captured by watching it. This sometimes a sign that the gameplay isn't really making much of an impact on... the game.
And that's a red flag for the game right there.

I did this for a couple games :P people like uberhaxornova ssohpkc dsp and other creatures and casters make it sometimes more interesting than it would be actually playing the game.
Sometimes though for I just... conveniently manage to fine the games iso file ;) Only when I am short on cash
I did it even simpler, read a short summary of the plot. All I needed to know about what happened, who died and who didnt... Must admit I got bored after watching the first 1 part of the cutscenes >>

Why would you need to watch a playthrough of MW3 to get it out of your backlog?
The campaign is only 15 minutes long...

Yeah, I do the same thing too! Either a let's play, a speed run, or a straight up playthrough, especially if a game peaks my interest but I don't have the time or money to play it!
I watched MGS4 that way, and Modern Warfare that way, so we have likes alike.
