And this is partly the reason multi-player games have lost my interest. The “win at any cost” mentality, coupled with me being an old bastard really made them a shit experience.
Helldivers 2, with its team based goals is a bright spot, with it seems everyone out for a good time. Last night played with a kid who seemed to have a mic & headphones for the first time ever and it was hilarious, “hey bro, bro” nonstop chatter & everyone rolling with it. Good times!
It feels like most multiplayer games are trying too hard being an E-Sport. I understand why. It’s really good marketing if a game is popular to watch.
I miss the days of Team Fortress 2 where everyone just mind their own business until the announcer says it’s 60 seconds left and then suddenly everybody makes a combined effort to win the game.
Or just casual death matches.
I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That’s why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it’s just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great
Sometimes I actually surprise myself on the myriad of ways i can off myself…
There should be a compilation video of the most unique, like: ive been blasted across the entire map, freefalling and ragdolling for ages and Injust sit there in amazement.
Getting killed by dead bugs or being yeeted into orbit for no apparent reason are the best. Shooting the autocannon at objects too close for comfort and then ragdolling into mines is a facepalm moment - it happens way too often
I assume that they mean in addition to QA. I worked on COD, those QA testers were some of the best FPS players I’ve ever seen. I can’t explain when or how due to my NDA, but I’ve seen professional players/streamers get stomped by QA. You could even tell which ones have spent the most time working on live multiplayer by how well they play.
The best pinball players in the world are the machine techs. Because they know all the exploitable flaws.
So you’re saying we can play it now if we just go download it.
There’s always people ahead of the curve. You’re never gonna contend for the best just by starting at the same time as everyone else anyhow. Being the best takes raw ability, hard work, and something special that I’ve determine matters most. The most important thing for being the best is that you gotta want to do the thing purely for the sake of the thing. There’s no feedback loop that’ll ever beat the motivation of wanting the actual thing. Think Goku. He wants to fight.
I’m a flow artist and I’m REALLY good. I got this way because there’s nothing I like better than pushing myself to move dexterously like this. I’m also the top ranked project muse player and got there before I had any idea I was actually that good. I’m just obsessed and being the best is a byproduct.
Wtf is a flow artist
Man, these types of posts are a killjoy.
Got to stifle any sort of potential discussion before it can start.
You want discussion from me? Go learn what it is you wanna talk about first. I give you a very clearly defined word and you want definitions instead? I don’t have time to waste spelling it out to hundreds of curious people. Those who can, do.
“I’m going to write a post about my passion.”
“You want a discussion from me!?!”
Jesus dude, maybe go practice some more instead.
Yeah that’s the idea! I’m not here to talk about my passion on a surface level with people who can’t be bothered to meet me half way. I’m engaging with the OP. I’ve been called a human dictionary before, but that’s not my job.
Jeez if all flow artists are like this I think i’d rather remain ignorant
Edit: I just googled it and I still have no fucking idea
I’d you ask me on the street “hey what is that”, that’s pretty valid since You’ve got nothing to go by. I’ll tell you the words and you can pressure a new curiosity. Here you think I gotta answer to a “wtf is that?” When you’ve got plenty to go by and y’all call it discussion? Get off your horse. If pictures and words aren’t enough to go by, try video! If that’s still not enough, wtf do you think I’m gonna give you? Do your own part.
You think I wanna explain the whole scene to all of the hundreds of people who ask? Put some effort in yourself. You’re on the Internet and I used a very clearly defined word. I draw so much attention doing this every day that I’m absolutely sick of hearing “Is that some kind of weapon?”
That’s fair. You can engage however you like, there’s no rules. I prefer a dialog in forums myself and would’ve enjoyed a discussion with you and your unique perspective.
Probably should have found out what questions make sense to ask.
