Re: Football Thread 2017 | December | Premiering January At Anfield: The Virgil van Dijk Show

By Doicare Go To PostPubg is the epitome of everything wrong with video games today. A half assed, barely half finished, buggy game that people are lapping up and paying actual money for. The game is just a giant sandbox with terrible animations, gunplay & graphics where the aim of the game is to run away like a pussy & hide hoping other people randomly don't find you. There's nothing more 'exciting' then spending 30 minutes of your life hiding in a bathroom with a shotgun pointed at the door….. Zzzzzzz. It doesn't matter if you kill 30+ people, the entire game just comes down to who gets the last kill *golf clap*. No matter how good you are you have to hope you get lucky by 1. Randomly finding decent weapons & 2. Randomly hoping a bigger group of people don't stumble across your location & simply kill you by sheer wait of numbers. And this is some people's goty. Smh.

Someone should find a clever way to link this to your theory about injuries. It's incredible how wrong people can be about things.

What can I say, I like interacting with people, including the less fortunate.

Please prove me wrong.

By Doicare Go To PostPlease prove me wrong.

It would take too long. Suffice it to say that if that's how the game really was, I wouldn't be playing it, same goes for my friends and 20M+ other people. What you described is the worst possible scenario and how I imagine the experience would be, if I was playing the game 100% wrong.

The i'm right but i don't have the time/can't be bothered to explain posts are the worst. Justin Bieber, Two and a Half Men & Donald Trump were all popular, doesn't make them good.

Its not random or luck when the same people(eg me) keep winning and killing everyone in sight

You kill people, get better weapons by picking up their shit, and you put yourself into good positions. A lot of tactics and thought involved, not random lucky weapons etc.

And its not GotY for me at least. But you are wrong about how the game is played.

You've addressed one small part of my post which highlights the many criticisms of the game. If you happen to be a very skillful player in comparison to the level of skill of other players then you stand a much better chance of over coming the deficiencies of the game. If you play a game against players of equal skill or without playing in stacked teams then the randomness of the game will play a much higher role in whether you win or not. But like i said you've only addressed one small part of what's wrong with the game.

I like you.

By Doicare Go To PostThe i'm right but i don't have the time/can't be bothered to explain posts are the worst. Justin Bieber, Two and a Half Men & Donald Trump were all popular, doesn't make them good.

The are tons of popular things that are good though, likely more than those that are shit. The anecdotal evidence I can bring to this debate is that none of the lads I play PUBG with is a fan of Justin Bieber, Two and a Half Men & Donald Trump, but they all still very much enjoy PUBG.

It's hardly a perfect game, but the positives outweigh any and all negatives & by a safe margin too. I don't know who you've been playing it with, if you've been playing it, but in general nobody spends 30 minutes hiding in a bathroom; the fact that it comes down to who gets the last kill is the point of battle royale, so if you don't like that, this is probably not the game for you - regardless, me and my m8s keep "losing", and yet we can't wait to play it again, so "winning" in the strictest sense clearly isn't all the game is about. On the contrary, the randomness is part of the fun. You can mitigate it to a significant extent, if you know what you're doing, but can never fully escape it. Much like in football and life in general. It's great.

Looks like Doicare caught another one

It's absolutely fine to say you just happen to like something so that's why you play it. But that's all you've said, you like it, that's your argument. I've laid out the many faults with the game, some factual, some opinionated & opinions aside the things which are factual make the game pretty shitty & set a dangerous precedent for other developers to follow suit and make half assed, half finished, buggy games. On a personal level i grew up on high skill level arena shooters like doom, unreal tournament, goldeneye & halo, & games like pugb are pretty much the opposite of everything that makes a good shooter to me.

By rvy Go To PostI like you.

Oh no, I've been around forever and I'm perfectly aware of his modus operandi, it's more about correcting grossly overstated facts about PUBG, in case anyone wants to jump in and could be persuaded otherwise reading Doicare's opinions on it. I realize now that there is no danger of that in this thread tho. Unless you meant rvy, which I'm sure was just being rvy. <3

That's how he gets you. Makes you think you're getting him, that you're beating him but he's always 6 steps ahead. You trying to play the game but the game's already over son, you just don't realise it.

I really have no interest in that game because it's not for me, but I agree with him on developers releasing and charging for unfinished/early access games.

Lol, what the heck? You’re giving Doicare way too much credit.

It’s way more likely he’s just an idiot than some puppet master pulling the internet strings.
