Usually, they are clumsy cash in attempts, often plagued with failed attempts to get it recorded, and watching a guy stumble around and f*** up over and over, it can be irritating to watch. I am mostly indifferent to it, since I don't tend to watch those.

If I do decide to watch an LP, I prefer one where the people actually know what they're doing and how to play the game. So blind LP's are things I really have no desire to ever see, and all day 1 LP's are blind LP's.

I always thought there was an unwritten rule about doing an LP of a game when it comes out. Also I've yet to see a good LP that's blind or from a game that just came out.

I prefer to watch people who have a clue what they are doing. A lot of them are rushing to get to the end and usually lacking humour. One of the few Jesse Cox lets plays I can't stand is his Beyond 2 Souls one, along with his bizarre David Cage worship.

It usually reaks of a FIRST! mentality at least to me.

Because they're zero effort, rarely edited and always blind LPs which means you get to see the person fumbling about for 10 minutes.

There's nothing more frustrating than watching somebody play a game and have no idea what they're doing.

If I wanted to watch somebody suck at video gaming I'd play it myself

It's not fun watching people spend most of the video awkwardly stumbling around for 20 minutes.

I suggest you guys watch Game Informer's Super Replay of hilariously bad survival-horror game, Overblood, on YouTube. They hadn't a clue what to do, and it's one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen in my life. If you like MST3K, this is the improv gaming equivalent to it.
But I generally do agree, especially with newer titles, that it's annoying if someone bypasses tutorials and just chugs through a game without trying to figure it out beforehand. It's basically hit-bait.
