It's not that it's impossible to understand the story, but you're not understanding it in the same way. The emotional impact is lessened significantly. Silent Hill is about 20x scarier to play than it is to watch. The sense of camaraderie when you take down a tank in Left 4 Dead when 3 of you are down and the last person is on 5 health is something you'll never understand if you haven't done it yourself. Then there's any of the torture scenes from MGS, or the microwave corridor in 4. You won't feel the same stress or guilt or physical pain and exhaustion. Which is, you know, the ENTIRE point of those scenes.

Or things like The Walking Dead game, which is basically "Making Difficult Moral Choices: The Game", if you're not doing it yourself then what's the fucking point? Basically any game with significant choices sucks a lot more if you're not making the choices.

I don't even understand how so many people are trying so desperately to downplay the interactivity of a medium entirely based around interactivity.

"Hurr people can enjoy games however they want". Of course they can, but don't try to argue that they're not missing out on anything.

Nobody said they're not missing anything. I far prefer to play games myself over watching LPs for that reason. The point is that the fact that they're missing something doesn't mean they aren't still experiencing the medium the way they want to. LPs appeal to them and they enjoy them and still get a big part of the experience and I don't understand why it's so personally offensive to some game fans that they aren't doing it the way they want them to.
