Gravity

@ Bridge:

I play stealth games in a very specific way. Example, in Dishonored sometimes I would go through a section silently and decide to re do it so I could test myself in a planned attack. Like, say.... jump-kill one guard, freeze time before anyone realizes, blink-kill the second guy and send a bolt to the third guy. All before time starts rolling.

If I screw up I'd want to reload.

Or in a simpler scenario, I would be reloading often when I get spotted, which isn't fun for the people watching. Most people watching would go ''oh come on, i'm bored. You have shit tastes. Kill that person and move on." Which is why I don't like having an audience, because my playstyle requires loads of reloading because if something isn't perfect enough, i'm going to reload.

As for atmosphere focused games: I play them headphones, so I wouldn't be able to hear the people that are sitting behind me. You bring up the point of view of someone streaming gameplay through the internet. It's different having people near you and watching than just having people watching you in a stream. I for one wouldn't be paying attention to the comments in the stream that much while having people near you breaks the immersion for me.

The only games I was able to highly enjoy playing while being watched was OoT and MM but those times they were special situations.
