Yes. Recently did this with Fear Effect 2. I legit got stuck about 10 minutes into the game against three robots and the awful control scheme was destroying me. I love the visuals of these games though and the atmosphere, so I wanted to see more. Just watched a full playthrough since it wasn't too long. I've done this on a few other occasions and have some other ideas of some games I can't see myself playing, but if there's a good run or host of a playthrough maybe I'd get into it. Planescape comes to mind... :roll: :lol:

Fatal Frame 3-4 are other options I've thought about. 4 since, well, we didn't get it in the USA. And 3 I played a bit of but really wasn't feeling it because of the pacing. But I'm curious enough to see where it goes, I just don't want to scratch my head every 30 minutes wondering what the heck I do next to progress.

I was also watching a run of Siren and well, got pretty bored after a handful of videos and ended up being pretty thankful I didn't waste my money on buying a copy.

Isnt that kind of how much of it is now? Not all that playable by enough but far more watchable by others? So much this gen is tired ass spit up re-used garbage, so little is refreshing or interesting on the console front that the PS3/360 stuff hung around getting their versions for awhile while the new are happy with many remasters to string people along.
