You can be a fan of that game.
You cant be a real fan of the game youve never played,
But you can still be a fan.

That is, that you'll be blowing daily, probably on my nuts

Can you be a fan of a book you have never read? A movie you've never watched?

the correct answer is no but the better question is why does someone care if they're called a fan of something or not? who covers the title of fan so much that they would argue over it?

Blame retards for injecting themselves into fan discourse despite not actually playing the game they want to talk about.
Like if someone showed up to a book club meeting and started reciting what they heard off youtube, you'd rightfully tell them to get lost.

I think you can be a fan of the surface level elements (art, music, characters, story), but those aren't what makes a game. And as faggy as it might sound, you won't appreciate those elements the same way as someone who actually played through it and experienced it firsthand.

No less than Yamaguchi of Nintendo never played a video game. He evaluated them based on playthroughs others did.

I only watch streamers when they play games I have already beaten. It's interesting to see how they handle situations differently and whatnot. lets you get a whole new perspective for the game.

Well...
I like R. Mika, Makoto, Elena, Sakura, Ibuki, Karin, etc.
But DAMNIT, I ain't playing a fighting game. I hate competitive PvP games, and I hate games with basically zero content or no single player, and fighting games are JUST that.

You think this guy finally played P5 after it released on Switch or is he still pretending you to be fan?

actually yes, in the same way that i might enjoy the characters, story, or art style for a game, but not want to play it - i could enjoy the texture and sounds of someone eating a chocolate pudding, but not want to eat it myself

You can always bring nuance in and say you're a fan of watching a game instead being a fan of playing it.
