Several responses have focused on rail games where you watch a predetermined story unfold.
I learned how to make an automatic egg/chicken factory in minecraft from watching a video. I'd never have imagined something so crazy without seeing it live in 3-D first. You do what with wooden signs, and then pour flowing water on them, and then throw chickens on it? Madness! Yet it works!
I imagine this has a lot to do with 3-d and open world type games where having an experienced field guide walk you thru a real world-ish experience helps.
(edited to add, I live in a geographic area where many people make a living as hunting and fishing guides; the "experienced field guide" phrase for video games is very intentional, I suspect in the next decade or so of video gaming, there will be people making a modest living off literally being field guides for video gamers... just kinda escorting noobs and showing them the ropes, maybe not a lot of money but more than they'd get off the mechanical turk)
- DanBC 12y agoI watch a few different YouTube videos for different reasons. XisumaVoid [1] does nice, clear, tutorials of a bunch of different stuff. Etho [2] also does some tutorials, but he embeds them into his "Let's Play" series. He's also part of a server and I enjoyed the derping around they did. BDoubleO and GuudeBoulderFist (as OOG [3]) had some funny videos of them playing a challenge map while drunk. Yogscast [4] had one series that appealed to me at a particular time of my life when I just needed disposable nonsense.
