In no man's sky. They just release a pokemans game mode they call xenoSomething. I had a weak little lvl 19, and decided to do the multiplayer and battled a team of 30s. My little lvl 19 beat 2 of this guy's lvl 30s.

I've found competitive games just aren't for me.
When I'm doing well competitively, I'm just not having as much fun. Have to take it too seriously to compete and particularly in strategy games the best strategy is often not the most fun.
Playing with known friends in a small instance is decent, but playing in an open scenario just feels exhausting.
I had to stop playing dead by daylight because even that, which is not a competitive game, became too unfun to play casual matches
I like playing multiplayer games as long as the purpose is to play the objective, team work, strategy, shoot enemies and enjoy the scenery.
Unfortunately most multiplayer games are about coordinating your mouse DPI with the screen FPS and ensuring that your graphic card coolant is flowing at the proper gallons per second.
If I cared about single pixels or abusing the game engine and hardware I would be playing 8bit games. I really don't get why AAA developers keep making these games for people to win by boring skillless optimization
Be Me
Log into Highly Competitive MOBA / Team Shooter Game
Rank: Mud
Get slotted into a team of 8-year-olds, Alzheimer's patients, and people on disability after falling off a ladder at work.
Lose to a team of 9-year-olds, Parkinson's patients, and people playing the game on a second screen during an office meeting
Oh gee, I wonder how it feels to be The Best Player In FlobsKnight: Cry of Obligation, kicking dirt on little old me!
Win against a team of 6-year-olds, people in a coma, and players with no arms learning to use the control with their toes
I am the greatest FlobsKnight player on earth!
Rank Up: Dry Grass
Quality of opponent improves slightly
Never win again
That last part is too real 😭
Made me think of trying to climb the ranked ladder in Hearthstone.
Reminds me of Shroud
just play 1 of the thousands of solo games. why tf would you play with sweaty jobless nerds
I can smell the BO reading some of these comments
Everyone who is better than me is a sweaty tryhard with no life.
I do not believe that someone can beat me without dedicating their life to this game.
No one ever just gets lucky or goes on a hot streak.
I should be winning games as easily as I did at lower ranks despite not making an effort to get better
Do PVE not PVP
Quit your job and git gud, scrub.
I love your comments lol
you feel bad because you had a shitty day
I feel bad because my life is worthless
we are not the same
And on the flip side of this there’s people who barely spend any time in the game beating no-lifer’s causing them to finally rage quit the game.
This is far more rare than you'd think. When you're playing games at the highest level it's not just skill, there's a layer of play where you're basically exploiting because you're so in tune with the game you can take advantage of effects that last milliseconds.
When I played competitively if I joined a random server, I'd sweep about 1/3 rounds. I took the moniker fishy because I'd been banned from so many servers for "hacking" and an admin said "IDK if you're hacking or not but you're fishy..."
Yeah, beating someone who takes a game super serious is super unlikely...
About the only exception was seeing some people who took fighting games seriously in some fighting games the rando pressing random buttons was hard to beat.
I was the press random buttons guy that kicked ass at Soul Caliber 2.
What do you expect? You want them to let you win? You're not a child and they're not your dad lol
You’re not a child
Hey now. Maybe they're literally 12.
No, I want all the tryhards to be pooled together so they don't ruin the fun of other players.
But instead they create smurf accounts because their life is so miserable, they have to find worse players in order to feel better about themselves.
Ugh, sweaty tryhard.
Sorry for existing in a way you don't like
aren't you the one hating on "tryhards" for existing in a way you don't like??

Just play single player games, they are much less stressful. I used to play StarCraft and Warcraft 3 when I was younger, but now I'm too slow for those games and for some reason there are no no RTS games since StarCraft 2.

Been rocking out to Plannetary Annihilation: Titans and having a great time.
If you like Command and Conquer style RTSs, give Tempest Rising a shot. It came out last year and it feels exactly like a C&C game, but with modern graphics and QoL improvements.
Bots are dumb, though. Bad AI really takes me out of a game, and every game has bad AI. Once I figure out their behavior patterns, the fun is completely gone for me. I prefer online gaming because human opponents are unpredictable.
Play crimson desert and feel exactly stressed :D
Regular enemies are weak but annoying with how they just seemingly never stop spawning.
Bosses are annoying because they constantly teleport or become immune to damage or require some gimmick that is not at all well telegraphed.
The system for combat is good. The balance of the enemies in said combat is fucking ridiculous and pretty close to the worst I have seen.
Yes, and the game explains itself very bad. (But is stil awesome because of other things)
Oh no doubt. I hated Dragon's Dogma 2 for a lot of super bad design choices and, while I see a number of little niggling design flaws in CD, it is basically what I actually expected from DD2. Just without pawns.
