@Robert Sears If you have to cheat to win, you are either lazy or _you_ suck. Cheaters never truly prosper. This is the definition of lying to oneself. For example, you didn't beat that incredibly long racetrack in 1 second, you CHEATED your way there. Just because the scoreboard says 1 second, it doesn't mean you beat it legitimately. Cheating invalidates your skill so prove yourself by doing it correctly. Get the speediest time on your own.

[@lightyagami77777]

I always trick myself into thinking that I'll like playing a charismatic/persuasive build in video games. Every time the option is given to talk my way through a situation it is never given the same focus or level of engagement as combat or stealth. Combat encounters are often heavily involved, with care being given to balance, skill, load out, level design, mechanics, and variety, while talking things out rarely consists of more than picking the right dialog option, passing a simple skill check, or maybe having to read a specific piece of information beforehand. There is an art of conversation that I love using in tabletop roleplaying games, but never comes through properly in video games. It's pretty much a given at this point that if a game gives the choice of combat or persuasion, then it's really saying that combat is the default and persuasion is an alternative, yet for some reason I will always put all of my points into speech trees.

Falcon, I have got to say, and I can honestly say this with hand held on heart, I have never EVER once rage quit a game. If I can't get past a part on a game, I back track, see what I have missed, maybe go make myself a coffee, and think logically and calmly. Even in competitive games, I have never rage quit. Anyone who knows me has always asked me how I am so calm about every game I have ever played (and I have been playing for 30 years) which I reply "they are just games, there are more frustrating things in real life, and games do not test my patience or calm" Maybe I am one of the people that have a zen-like calm while I am playing video games, or maybe in the back of my mind I just know that there are bigger things to worry about besides getting mad at something that is made to entertain. I cannot fault you where predicting is concerned though. I can't predict whether I will, in the future, rage quit. But after 30 years of gaming and never rage quitting once, I would say the chances are pretty low. No, I am not fooling myself, I am stating facts. I have never ever rage quit ANY game in my life, at any point.

uuuh, the wise words of the falcon ^^ oke oke i getcha, some minor things though: 1. some people will actually get a *worse* result when playing with pro-equipment. if your aim is shit, a lagfree experience might actually drag you down, rather than boost your performance. 2.the game-racer-setup isn't really about realism, it's for the immersion you will get in any given racing game. (i know you were talking a bit more about the fact that some ppl think they could translate that skill to a real race, but i think the majority of players buying expensive setups like that are thinking more like i described it). 3. this is more like an addendum to the stuff you said. i don't do "work" and i quit school two decades ago, and i STILL can't finish all the games i have installed on my rig. i still have to play through horizon, god of war, RDR2, RE7, cyberpunk, the ori sequel (thank god i finished the first one), DMC 5, cuphead (66% -.-), nier automata, persona 5, PERSONA STRIKERS ( :/ ), the outer worlds (lost my savegame twice after finishing every quest on the space station) and a bunch of other games i haven't even started yet. last point, 4: if someone *decides* to stay in a team that loses several times in a row, it's their own fault (except when staying because of RL connections to his team mates, but in that case said player should have insisted on non-ranked matches just for fun). btw, that overwatch footage was *really* old ^^ i almost forgot torb had to "lvl up" his turret at one time before he got reworked :D

And there’s nothing you can do about it bc at that point it’s statistically impossible for you to catch up and win now especially with the artificial difficulty deliberately designed to prevent you from progressing? Get out of here and sit down you fanboy. You’re is straight up lying and it’s actually embarrassing.

Rubber banding wouldn’t be needed if you weren’t being sent behind all the others in a race. You’re trying to justify a mechanic that pushes you to the end of a race completely contrary to your skills bc sometimes it randomly chooses to boost you closer to the front but as soon as you get to the front you’re just gonna be hit by a randomly generated item that you cannot avoid or counter and have no choice but to lose your progress even if you’re 3 laps ahead of your friends and there is nobody nearby to target you with the item in the first place. You ever wondered by so many speed runs of the games have been ruined by random blue shells literally the instant they get to the final lap even though nobody cast the shell in the first place?.

[@SlayerRunefrost]

Looking at you The Last of Us.

[@SlayerRunefrost]

@@pigeon3784 I wouldn't know, the first one was so GOD AWFUL boring, I didn't even bother with the second one.

[@SlayerRunefrost]

@dumb entertainment bitc doesn't surprise me. The first one is one of the most singularly overrated games of all time.

[@serioussamson]

@@SlayerRunefrost I enjoy the TLOU games mostly for their immersive and brutal combat and also have to agree that the first one was a little overrated for it's time. Especially the story wasn't that special how everyone made it out to be. Even though it had a good twist at the end. I'll have to say though that I really enjoyed the second one. It has a few pacing issues but still had me way more interested in the characters and overall story. The gameplay is pretty decent too and full of detail

[@serioussamson]

@dumb entertainment bitc That's the first time I read that TLOU2 was too hard for someone. The difficulty was absolutely decent and the game gave more than enough options for every skill level imo

[@RealCoachMustafa]

It took me years to stop lying to myself with #2. I've now come to the realization that there are games I own that I will never play, and I've become very selective as to which games I will try to play through.

Games like Gran Tourismo definitely give you better skills as a driver. They give you an accurate weight and feel of cars so you know you can't just whip the steering left and right like an arcade game and expect the car not to roll or slide. In 1st person mode they give you good spacial awareness of the size of the car. They teach you proper line taking on the road. Growing up playing driving sims and now a driver of over 10 years I think that grasping these concepts before I was able to drive was an advantage and made me a better driver.

I enjoy it more at 39 than I did at 9 because the controllers don't wear painful holes into your thumbs anymore.

[@RickAngel3000]

I absolutely still do :) probably more now than then due to better games.

[@hunterwinters5106]

This is without a doubt the most accurate video game video I've ever seen. I've fallen victim to many of these. For example, bought Skyrim on sale for $15. Do I ever plan to play it? I seriously have no idea. The last game I sunk 100 hours into was RDR2 and that was before I got married and started grad school. Now, I play maybe 5 hours a week if that with my PS5 and I'm satisfied with my gameplay time. Games are just a hobby for me now but I still love them and know when to quit.

#2 is seriously my gaming nemesis. My backlog is insane and I keep adding to it. I don't have a gaming addiction, I have a game-buying addiction. Even recently when I've only been allowing myself to buy games I really, really, really want, I still end up with more games than I have time to play.

The level of consistency during competitive play that this channel predicts is amazing lol. I wish I never had a bad game and was consistently average at every game I play. My friend should just submit and not try to win after I three stock him until he goes on a training arc

1. That The Last of Us Part 2 has a good story.

[@MANOFGOD9000]

I've actually beaten players in fighting games by "running it back" pretty often. I'm just playing tournament rules in that case. Some of us need that extra set to confirm our skill limits and train more.

[@kodyjayvin]

Yeah, I just recently started playing Dark Souls, and I always thought that everyone saying "Just get good" were arrogant pricks. But, I was wrong. Sometimes, you just need to put in the time in order to get the results.

[@crazylasagna3576]

As someone who used to play with a shitty laptop, I actually didn't realize how much it was gimping me until I got a competent computer. It was crazy. Granted, the change was pretty significant (Went from 30 FPS to 300 FPS in TF2).

[@TeddyJayO1]

Guys i think they’re running out of ideas for top 10 lists

[@bipbop3121]

I never thought I can do this in the racing game, so I can in real life. That said there were a couple things from racing gaming that has translated. The proper cornering absolutely really applies to real life. - Decelerate before the turn, turn through the turn, accelerate out of the turn for the most control, over your vehicle. The whole let the tires do one job at a time for best traction is something I learned from sim racing, before real driving. It's also good for wear on the related car parts. The other thing I would say is a bad habit. Technically, this is something that impacts my walking (so maybe it isn't a video game thing? IDK), not just driving. Once I have a really good feel for the dimensions and controls of a vehicle (maybe even a little too soon) that spacial awareness and control translates to the bad habit of getting the vehicle too close to stationary objects (moving objects or objects that can move I don't have this problem with, even though you get close to them in games, too), because I'm confident it isn't going to make contact. I have not been wrong, but it isn't worth the risk and I don't want to make others uncomfortable. Since I'm aware of it, I try to remember to keep more space.

[@JohnMetal91]

I set unrealistic quotas for myself all the time like "I expect to be at this stage in the game by this time." Then I become frustrated when things don't go as planned, say something like "I'll stay up all night if I have to" in order to clear an obstacle of some kind. Gradually I get more stressed, tired, making increasingly stupid mistakes, and ultimately burning out while failing to meet my "quota" and just go to sleep. Then I wake up in the morning and clear in 15 minutes what I wasted hours on the night before, "why did I waste so much time on this?" I've learned to take appropriate breaks between 1 hour sessions of gaming.

[@UltimateAlexX]

Gotta disagree on the "one more try and I'll beat him" thing. That's exactly how I managed to beat some of these fucking spammers in Tekken. The ones who didn't adjust their strategy anyway.

[@kain185]

Gameranx tends to be quite inaccurate when it comes to fighting games. There's a reason why 2/3 is standard in tournaments and most rank modes in fighting games

5:10 so true. My gf went from playing Rust on a pc complaining about her skill to buying an $1800 computer thing. Still no improvement in skill

[@mlgsty8880]

I mean I used to have no mousepad, shitty 10 year old mouse, pc that cant even run 60 fps in csgo back in 2013. Yeah my Cs games went extremely well. As soon as I got proper pc and actually decent mouse next year I managed to actually climb out of elo hell of silver. Sometimes it is just about equipment, I would never willingly go to that potato pc back again.

[@mediterraneanmint89]

Exactly man. I experienced the same exact thing. Broken mouse, 8 year old $500 PC. Like I was still decent. I was a DMG. But when I played on a buddy’s custom built $1500 PC, I went absolutely nuts. That game really requires good FPS and reaction time

[@Bearthedancingman]

The racing game making you a better driver myth is based on some studies that show that playing driving games improves situational awareness and reaction times. It doesn't make you a better driver, it makes you less likely to get into an accident. So kind of a better driver? But also...not.
