Have you ever heard Rainbow Six fans? Fifa fans probably take the cake for me though...same crap every year and yet they act like it's the best Fifa ever released. I've said it before, but it's not the fact the games are difficulty that bothers me, it's that "trial and error" approach to the difficulty I can't stand. The controls in are too sluggish to make the challenge about still and the patterns, exploits and weakness's of enemies to cryptic to make it about strategy. Take a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn, you get all the information you could need about the enemies with fast, fluent controls with effective, purposeful actions, but they still manged to make a challenging game. What I've I've experienced with "soulsborne" titles is nothing like that. It's "try, then die" until you figure out exactly what the game wants you to do to get through this section. I'd even go so far as to say the games aren't actually challenging. All you need to do to win is dedicate enough time to multiple attempt until you succeed, so they're a test of patience as much as anything. And what is with the "no pause" nonsense? In Nioh, I wasn't even "allowed" to make adjustments to the graphics settings without coming under attack, it's bullshit. If people like those games, then good for you, but it is just not for me.

There is nothing good to write home about FIFA games as of late because EA have downgraded the game to nothingness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the type of games that I just have no patience for, and I know if I played in front of a fan, they'd chew me out and try to steer me to follow their techniques and way. If I want tips, I'd ask. Getting forced to play in a creative way isn't for me. I like to make my own decisions, so that when things don't go my way, I can accept it.

Boblee Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 As I was stuck with FIFA games in the past, I never believed that I would ever drop it but they gave a reality check to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays, you can't even call someone a wimp or coward, that's too freaking offensive. If some people grew up in my childhood community, they'd probably cry infinitely. When I was a kid, calling someone a pussy got a middle finger in return. People had skin that wasn't paper thin. Shit like that just rolled off our backs. Nowadays, if you look at someone they start screaming assault or harassment, or some other bullshit. people truly are pussies in today's world.

Yes, that's why I am more engaging here, than any other online community due to how peaceful here is. When I need to converse something meaningful around video games I simply come here, because I feel safer here. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree - kids nowadays are like "mom, he just called a wimp...and it was very hurtful (cries on social media that he was the victim of a horrendous attack). Sometimes, I just have to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 xD, due to how common sexual harassment turned common nowadays, that's why you wouldn't blame those people acting so fast screaming about sexual assort or harassment when it didn't occur to them.

SF fans are extremely toxic and worship pro players whilst treating newcomers like dirt. 35 minutes ago, Heatman said: From the looks of it, it seems like there are more toxic gaming communities out there than the calm friendly ones. Definitely true. But there are some nice communities out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
