It's not about story it's about the experience. In a game where you need to figure out what to do or how to solve a problem or where to go or whatever, it gets ruined because now you know exactly what to do and what expect. Every surprise is ruined!
I can only imagine if I watched an entire playthrough of Resident Evil before playing it. All those surprises, all the mystery, the sense of horror and helplessness would be gone. I am so grateful I played that game without knowing what was coming.
But if watching Let's Plays is about seeing if a game is good or not, why continue watching the whole thing? Can't you tell if a game is good enough to play by just watching a few episodes in the beginning? Why watch the ENTIRE game? One or two episodes should be good enough.
I guess it's just me then. To me it's not about getting the high score, best time, or achievements. It's about the journey. It's about going on an adventure and experiencing new worlds.
