StaceyPowers Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Sometimes I watch someone gaming who thinks they are doing terrible, and they are actually doing fine or even well. Other times, I run into just the opposite. Do you think most players overestimate or underestimate how they perform in games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've seen people play and look super angry. They were swearing up a storm right in a Toys R' Us many years ago. I forget if they were winning though. When we're young we can't deal with losing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I think it's a 50/50 thing in my opinion depending on how good they get at a particular game. If they are good at it, they tend to overestimate themselves and vice versa. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually because the gamer wants the stream to be entertaining by taking some unethical tasks. If you play a game just normal, it will become dull and boring. To make it entertaining, you need to do something stupid. And for that those gamers, even playing fine, regret for not doing any non sense thing. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The majority I think overestimate their abilities. It's like that in most aspects of life. In my opinion it's a humility and modesty issue. If you're a master at a game, you're free to admit it. But if you suck, don't boast about your ability when you have none. I can't play a guitar (yet) so I can't go around boasting about my "ability". I know everything about the game play of Zelda Link To The Past (SNES) so I'm free to admit that. In my case I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little. But the former would be the bigger category.

killamch89 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Most overestimate their abilities to a point where you wonder what they base their pointless bragging on. Most of the times when I obliterate people in PVP, they accuse me of being a cheat lol. The worst part is, if any of them had any sort of skills like the best fighters in said game, they'd have made me have to fight far harder.

Haha, I actually felt like that in my playing of PVP in Frontline Commando and it was so annoying because I really felt like I was good till I got my ass handed to me.
