A major portion of movies are visuals so watching it while playing a game makes it difficult to catch those parts. Also if I have to tune it out so I can concentrate in-game I will be lost when I tune back in. With a commentary video I don’t have to do so because either I don’t care as much, they’ll repeat important information, or context clues are easier to piece together. I also don’t watch too many movies. I’m mostly talking about just extra long videos not talking about movies.I do watch a lot of gaming retrospectives, though.
For me personally, that never really worked. Whenever I was watching a movie at home, I was always multitasking with a game or something else: doing just one thing felt somehow wasteful when I could be doing two things.
But unfortunately I also felt like I wasn’t really enjoying movies like that. So, I got an unlimited movie pass for my local movie theater. I now see three, four movies per week and actually enjoy them FAR more than when I was doing the multitasking.
I also now see pretty much every movie the week it releases, which also effectively makes me bulletproof in terms of spoilers.
For me it’s because you can do something else while watching the video. Like play a game.
Couldn’t you watch a movie while playing a game as well?
