Just certain sections. You could get it to do the whole thing I guess.
You would still be experiencing the story as it’s meant to be told. Why do you think you have to “play” to fully enjoy something?
Why do you think “let’s play” videos exist? Now instead, they can support the devs by buying the game and experiencing it themselves.
Where do you think I said or even implied this?
Entertainment
Your previous comment says exactly that. Your own words.
So now they can support the dev and actually participate! Even better! Except for according to you.
Please go ahead and quote where you think it says either of those things.
People enjoy different things, and you don’t need to play something to enjoy it. Your words.
People love watching sports, they aren’t playing are they?
Hell even point and click games exist, and those “play themselves” while you merely interact with the screen.
You were supposed to quote a part that said either of those things, instead of simply asking if it counts as playing the game if the game is doing the playing for you.
That's... exactly the point?
In a point and click game if you are pointing and clicking it sounds like you are playing the game?
You have an extremely ignorant and narrow view of what “playing” means.
You just agreed with me in your watching sports example... Another you might agree with is that watching someone's lets play probably doesn't count as playing the game.
If you’re disabled and can’t actually do those things…?
Absolutely not, they would be considered playing, your ignorance and ableism for disabled people is showing too much.
If you can't actually do a thing then it sounds like you're saying you aren't doing the thing?
Did I understand correctly that in an otherwise identical situation, disabled person who is watching sports is playing sports in your opinion (while also saying they can't play sports), even though an able person watching sports isn't playing them?
That sounds contradictory.
I'm impressed you kept your composure through all that. Holy shit, what an asshole.
If you are disabled and skip certain parts of a game, you are still playing the rest of it.
This is not the same as watching a lets play or sport. Since you are still actively involved.
So even with this AI, you are still playing the game.
You're not playing the parts that you skipped or let AI play for you, was what I was getting at
