>someone says/types something that tells you they never actually played the game

Has this ever happened to you?

with this popularity of this meme, people are misusing it to mean "you got a misremembered a tiny detail ergo you have been lying the whole time" which is really autistic. like someone describe in detail why they disliked the third boss of a game, but they actually described to a T the attack patterns of the fourth boss! so they're a fake fan, how could they make that mistake unless they never played it??!

>tells you
If somebody is telling me about video games I immediately think they're a gay loser nerd and I'm not listening either way.

>>717472972
true video games are cringe

>>717472806 (OP)
Yeah, when /v/ talks about video games

>>717472806 (OP)
Every Sekiro thread.

what the fuck did you do to Elaina's colors?

when woman talks about how lonely and depressed she is

usually old RPGs. most recently a planescape torment thread where 2 of the first few replies mention combat being optional and the game being turn based

>>717473468
Mumei is for kronii and Kronii alone

>>717472806 (OP)
Not necessarily a game, but when people talk about how much they love GoG [sic].

>>717473052
He's correct, and it's already on its final stage which is people using it to mean "I don't like your opinion" see here >>717473669 >>717474468

>>717472806 (OP)
that happens with every popular game discussed on /v/

>too stupid to read what I typed
>replies with retarded shit anyway
I'm not talking about people who talk about GOG. I'm talking about people who say GoG.
>but I totally use Good of Games!

This anon’s also been caught before lol

>Metal gear has always been political.
War is le bad (here's some cool weapons, go kill foreign terrorists, bye) is not political.

I read threads about:
>Sonic
>Team Fortress 2
>Undertale/Deltarune
As you can imagine this means I quite literally constantly see it, although I suppose with the asterisk that it doesn't tell me that people haven't played TF2 full stop, but usually gives me an immediate ballpark of what year they started playing tf2 (generally post f2p)

>GOG
>GoG
gonna start saying gOg now

I hate that I read all three of those uniquely.
Or that the preceding sentence is in both past and present tense.

>>717472942
No it’s when someone makes a mistake that would be impossible to make if you were telling the truth since the mistake deals with something so fundamental and ubiquitous
It would be like if you said you loved Jill’s route in resident evil 2

>>717472806 (OP)
every time I read something about wow on this board it's pretty clear the majority have never played the game or have stopped playing the game 15+ years ago

This scene enlightened me that the pinky ring middle 3 is more comfortable so I switched

That's how the original scene unfolds though, the guy gives himself away by doing a hand gesture wrong.

>>717472806 (OP)
Yes, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt so I usually assume they're mixing up one game with a different game in the same series or something

>>717472806 (OP)
undertale in particular gets this a lot, which is baffling since it's a cheap, short game

>>717472806 (OP)
Yeah, some dude said some stuff about a game that was either outright wrong or a massive stretch of what was in the game, the kind of stuff you see in online seethe posts. I said to the guy how I didn't know he played it, as he didn't own it on Steam. He said he pirated it. It has Denuvo.

rimworld i guess
when someone says they just use a killbox for defense, it means they turned off sappers and drop pod invasions, ie. they didn't beat/play the game

I was that person once. My brother got Fallout 3 for the first time and I had yet to play it so I'd occasionally watch him but not really pay attention much. Saw him kill raiders and use vats occasionally but had no idea what any of that meant in gameplay terms.

About a week later I came up to some friends at school during break and they were talking about something and when I asked them about it they just said "oh, it's a game YOU haven't played, anon, it's called Fallout and it's....." and I got super defensive and started to claim I had started played Fallout 3 using incredibly inaccurate descriptions of gameplay that I could recall from watching my brother, including miming putting the pipboy in my face (by using both my hands like I was holding a tv screen instead of putting my wrist in my face) and how I was killing Bandits with a Bazooka.

They pretty much just had this face on as I was speaking and just said "yeah, you've never played Fallout" and continued talking about it with each other.

Felt like a retard when I finally got around to playing it a few days later and figured out all I said was wrong.

>>717472806 (OP)
yes, they posted on /v/
we know nobody here plays games

>>717472806 (OP)
A lot of the time people talk about games that they played on release 10 years ago and autists like OP want to fact check you on minute details like it's a formal debate.

>>717472806 (OP)
I was the one at fault once.
I was bitching about Death Stranding without having play it. I talked to one of my friends and said that the movement was utter trash, how you have to balance shit and stuff, it was really counter intuitive. He looked at me and said:
>You just have to press 2 buttons one after another, are you a casual brainlet anon?
I was cooked. I shout my mouth and stop with the acting. I laugh my ass out of the situation, but I must have reached critical levels of cringe that day.
I tried Death Stranding years later, but I wasn't that much off with my first fake impression.

any time a morrowind "fan" tells you how powerful magic is in morrowind

When anons complain about Prey (2017) having one enemy type. This game having no new enemies in the last third is a problem but it absolutely doesn't only have one enemy type.

Disco Elysium fans that disagree canon Harry is fascist with cheated maxed out stats.

Unironically, when people say Omori is about depression.

I get the shitposting about it being another indie game about depressed characters, and sure, whatever. But so many people actually think it's about the main character, Sunny, being depressed. It's not, and if you played to the end or even somewhat considered what's happening you'd know that. Call me pretentious or dump on the game, totally fair. But it's not about depression, it's about guilt more than anything. Guilt, isolation, and even psychosis that comes from that.

When people say that it's a game about depression, it just tells me they either paid zero attention to what was going on, or outright didn't play it themselves.
