Gamers Are Getting Dumber & Cheating More

[@TheJohhnyE]

To be fair, it's not just gamers. I recently saw an article claiming that a shockingly high number of college-aged people nowadays can't read or write beyond a 5th to 8th grade level. Which, honestly, explains A LOT. 😂

Hokage, I would also add cheating in video games also has real world consequences, I used to work in the IT Industry which provides managed services such as internet, security and etc. Well one day the IT company which I used to work for had an interview with an individual who liked playing video games because he wanted to work in the IT security branch, when he disclosed to the interviewer that his purpose of playing video games was to cheat and ruin people's fun, the interviewer basically said 'interview over' and the applicants application won't be considered or progressed further, the applicants face basically looked shock and he was told to leave the building

[@adamking2951]

All you gotta do is look at achievement/trophy disparity to confirm this. Barely anyone plays through games anymore. I beat Stellar Blade two days ago and only 25% have actually gotten the most common ending on the game.

[@Your_Father_LA]

THIS!!!!

[@TheJohhnyE]

I've been pointing this out for a while. The majority of games only have an average of around 40% of people finishing them. And I'm often kinda baffled that even when a game gives you an achievement/trophy for basically getting past a tutorial or begining area, even those will hang around 80%. So about 1/5 of people buying games aren't even starting them.

[@gumgumleobazooka]

I believe it. Majority of the ppl who complain about the patch in stellar blade only complain about suits. They didn't complain about the patch made the game easier to beat. And now there's another patch for the game to be easier on certain parts of the game and ppl not mad about that

[@freeweights101]

​​@EJx6u got the disc version ur fine. Just play it offline b4 inserting the disc. The new update is the middle of the road. New suits came with the update. The new suits is a sexier version of the original uncensored bathing suit. Alot critics had a problem with the Perry system and puzzle time. They're trying to be middle of the road of both sides.

When you boot up 360 games on series x you can pull up the old Xbox menu

[@shamelessantics3386]

Does this consider age group as well as adult gamers who are working, have families, and are deep in their college studies? Those gamers probably don’t want to play a game with a lot of deeper gameplay mechanics and prefer something simpler or casual to unwind on after a stressful day. Not because they aren’t strategically inclined or less intelligent. Gamers that play rts or strategy games have a major dent to their social lives and are more likely to be younger living under a parent who pays most bills.

[@biggoose1313]

10:28 lol, it is historically accurate that Kenway would be in the Caribbean though, he's a pirate. It's also historically accurate that you'd play a Viking in England as pirates raided England. I think the point people are trying to make with the historical accuracy argument is that it makes sense in a historical setting that these characters are where they are. A lot of people wanna play a Japanese samurai in the AC game taking place in Japan, I don't think for most people it's any deeper than that, though I understand there are many outliers who could be racist. Both TBH and these other people's arguments can be easily picked apart. 10:30 if we're going by logic, it makes perfect sense Kenway would be our pirate protagonist during the Golden age of piracy, especially in the Caribbean, just as it makes sense for Yasuke to be in Japan, maybe not as a fully decorated Samurai, but he did spend 2 years in Japan as a retainer.

I also think that these games aren't being designed in a way where strategy is that effective and KZbinrs are always trying to get all the views they can and pushing out meta videos and in certain games, metas are so dominant like movement and or weapon builds theres 0 way to counter them, other than to play like these youtubers, and ppl arent even getting paid for it, just build a balanced game and play the mf

[@utopic1312]

A balanced game could not exist as for a game to be balanced devs would have to design mechanics and interactions to be as good as one another and that game as a result would be boring as shit,it's perfectly fine for some strategies to be better than others players just have to be willing to adapt
