Recently there seems to have been a rise in the number of people who do coverage of new games in the forms of Let's Plays etc., particularly on Youtube. This is a great thing to show people what new games are actually like, as it can sometimes be hard when reading previews or reviews to get a clear impression for yourself. But I've found myself mostly avoiding these videos because I feel like watching them would ruin my enjoyment of the game if I decided to actually go ahead and buy it myself. I'd rather play a game myself instead of watching other people play it. For example a lot of Youtube channels have been jumping on the bandwagon of Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning and The Darkness 2. I bought Reckoning and am glad I didn't watch anything on it so I could discover the game by myself. I haven't got The Darkness yet but I still plan to, and have no intention of ever watching any LP on it.
So my question to all of you is do you share my opinion? Do you avoid this kind of coverage of games you are interested in so you can experience the games yourself?
