Youtube Walkthroughs
What's your take on them? Preferences? Ever wanted to do your own?
I've found myself watching these walkthroughs a lot lately. Even for games I don't currently have or have no intention of buying. I do prefer commentary though. I also prefer watching HD versions.
I've always wanted to do my own too but just never had the money/equipment. Maybe one day. They wouldn't be "walkthroughs" though. More like "Let's plays." I'm not good enough at games to walk someone else through it.

if you mean the actual walkthroughs and not "Let's play", then I can't say I am too fond of them. I think a lot of people are missing out on things when they use them to complete games. personal satisfaction and exploration. It all just becomes "copy me and you're an amazing gamer!". There ARE some things that are implemented in games these days, that more or less require guides or similar aids. With some of that, I think it's cool enough.
But then there's those who just watch the videos for reasons like those you mentioned yourself. That's not so bad, if you don't have intentions to play the games anyway. Also, watching videos for games you already completed might be fun sometimes. And you never know, you might see alternative ways to do the things you did, or learn something you can use in your own gaming.
As with just about all things, I am prone to exceptions depending on what the matter is about. But that's pretty much what I just explained in the upper 2 paragraphs, lol.
(I still think Habbo's decision to watch the 358/2 Days cutscenes online was a horrible thing! She knows I'll never cut her any slack on that xD. And she did have her reasons... But it's ironic now that the Days cutscenes now are part of KH 1.5, without any gameplay involved, lol.)

I'll only ever watch a walkthrough for a game I'm playing if I'm losing my mind trying to figure out what to do next. Over the last few days I watched DaveTheUsher play through FFX. 60 videos at about 30-40 minutes each. It's made me want to play the game even more now. Tried to find a good looking FFX-2 one but no luck.
Currently watching his playthrough of FFVII. Although it's one he is currently doing and is only 17 videos in.
