The OnLive gaming service offers this feature for sure, and I'm pretty sure that's possible in the Gaikai system as well (although Drakino would be able to answer more definitively). You just log in and can immediately watch other gamer's sessions. Of course there's no way you can control when they stop and start. :-)
Good points. I'll have to look into those. But like you said, I don't necessarily want to watch random play sessions. It's tough, because I'm looking for a play-through that just offers the
experience. I want to take in the world and the story of the game without playing it. This makes what I'm looking for very specific, because I don't want a deep dive into the game where the player goes and looks for every unlockable element.
But here's the thing... I don't think it'll work for you. Once you pop those puppies to full screen, I'll bet you get motion sickness *worse* from watching than you would from playing.
I'm not doubting you, I just don't know if this will be the case for me. Like I said, I watched the end scene to Portal [1], and had no problems that I can remember, but it's been a while. Still, I won't be surprised if I start watching one of these play-throughs I'm looking for and I get sick.
(The game is absolutely sublime, by the way. If you want to discuss it, start a separate thread.)
Ugh! That's what I keep hearing! It sounds awesome! It's killing me that I know I can't play it. It's really awful not being able to experience that game when I want to so badly...
You said you tried Dramamine. I've found Dramamine tends to make me feel worse than the motion sickness, just, in a different way. Have you tried Bonine?
I haven't noticed any effects from the Dramamine its self that I could tell, but then again I've never taken it and NOT done something that would make me motion sick otherwise. I hadn't heard of Bonine, though, so I'll check that out.
I actually have a physical coming up. I should ask my doctor if this is a weird condition...
