The thing about gameplay is that it makes you an active participant in the story. Many games are especially tailored to respond and change according to each decision by the player. If you're just watching someone else play you'll miss half the experience. I don't think it's the same.

What about JRPGs with only one storyline? Watching those gives the same storyline and lets you skip the repetitive combat.

Obviously it depends on the type of game, but some game stories are definitely wrapped around the gameplay and not the other way around.

I found the Portal games especially immersive because I was practically roleplaying as the main character the whole time. When I got to the end of Portal 2 it was exhilarating to outsmart the final boss all by myself. I felt like an awesome badass heroine.

I wouldn't recommend LP's of those games.

I played Portal 2 and watched the LP of Portal. The experience was exactly the same to me. I said it above and I'll repeat it here: not everyone enjoys games for the exact same reasons you do. And that's ok. There is no single good way of enjoying a piece of entertainment.

I watched an LP of Portal 2 and found it totally exhilarating.

Also, LP'd the very end of Portal because I am a total wuss. There are some people who don't always want "immersive."

I don't think everyone experiences games the same way. I've played Portal 1 and half of 2 among other games, and I don't project myself into the main character. I still am engaged in the sense that I believe I'm facilitating the story and I'm solving the puzzles, but I am not Chell. She is Chell and it's her story. I'm just an active audience.

I still find it very immersive, just in a different way.

Many are, just as many [if not more] aren't. Several have one storyline that they follow regardless of the player's actions - and even the ones that do have various story lines, it's probably not all that hard to find LPs for the various story lines for most of them.

You also have to remember that not everyone enjoys "being an active participant" but enjoys the other aspects of games - and some just really like watching other people play, even if they don't enjoy playing games themselves.
