Do you guys play Sims 4? I'm reinstalling again, only for Wicked Whims

It gives new players a chance to win and get better
It ensures players have to actually get better to avoid dying as often


The reasons I see for why people complain about sbmm is “it makes matches to sweaty”, “I just wanna play against scrubs”, “Its too hard” and half the time the complaints aren’t coming from the community of a pvp game it’s coming from people in the “above average” section of this image and there’s a good reason why that section is the most prone to bitching and complaining about sbmm.

For simplicity we’ll call them gold players. Golds are special because they’re not necessarily bad at a game just not great at it and because they understand the games mechanics to a degree where they can survive against pros it means that if sbmm were to be taken out that section of players would dominate most matches and most games would be artificially geared towards their victory. That shit is far more fucking toxic than dealing with players at your skill level, for new players it means they’ll constantly die over and over again and not be given a chance to get better due to the skill gap formed overtime as the population of a community of a game gets generally more skilled while for pros these people will become annoying as shit to put up with and no fun to kill because golds will be prone to bitching and whining about losing in any aspect due to having enough time invested into the game to feel as if they’re entitled to win every match. Skill based matchmaking does away with this shit because it ensures lobbies pair up players in away where everyone has some chance of winning instead of hoping RNG doesn’t assblast them with someone far above their skill level

It’s like they say what Nintendo did and made the same game but made everything about it shittier. The only reason I can imagine anyone playing this is
<A: they’re too poor and lazy to just a switch and botw
<B: they’re retarded and have impulsivity problems
<C: both of the above at the same fucking time

The easiest answer is the visuals

If I could describe diablo 2s visual design it would “minimalistic” the UI only shows the shit you actually need to know like exp, health, mana and that’s about it, the rest is shit you can toggle on and off like the map, your not bombarded with level up screens, or quest completed screens, or reward screens you get it nor are enemy death animations explosive besides the boss fights that actually matter. It makes the game feel easy to understand and to an extent it really is considering the difficulty for new players might be a little hard to get used to but it doesn’t change throughout the game so most don’t even notice it after a few minutes of playing not to mention art sound design makes everything even simpler and accessible to new players

sometimes I feel drowsy while playing it with a smile on my face because I can just sit down and grind, explore the map to discover caves or do whatever the fuck I please before closing the window and get back to whatever the hell I need to finish. Fucking great

ss13 thread
what servers do you usually play on?
what do you think of offshoots such as SS14 or unity station?
any greentext moments you want to share?

nobody is gonna play through persona 1 because 90s jrpgs have aged like milk for the most part

Post shit in video games so awful it’s funny

So many movement mechanics either got nerfed or patched completely makjng trying to maintain and increase your net velocity in the game a fucking pain in the ass or straight up impossible
So many of the old legends aren’t fun either, pathfinder is fucking useless at this point not only because of the cooldown on his grappling hook but also because you can’t keep the momentum on after each swing without using exploits, wraith is well.. not in a good place, most of the newer legends feel the same as the old ones and are either completely fucking broken or completely useless
There’s minimal accessibility to the point where it’s possible to get banned for using a custom crosshair along with the fact that you have to manually rewrite the games configuration files to get the settings you want like changing your fov to what pc gamers use like 120

You get the gist it wasn’t perfect but man something went wrong with the meta of this game

apparently the retards at the clickbait factory haven't heard of Ethnic Cleansing, White Law, JFK Reloaded, Custer's Revenge, Soldier of Fortune, Postal, or even Mortal Kombat

What games do leftypol play? I played through Stalker recently, I also like Deus Ex, Mount and Blade Warband, Dark Souls. I play supreme commander daily and generally enjoy strategy games.
