Thread 12151365

Do you genuinely care about "getting good" in a single player game? I can understand the desire of getting good at a multi-player game like a fighting game but getting good at something like a shooter? Just to beat your own score? That sounds incredibly boring and pointless when you can just play other games

If there's a score system in the game then you compare your score to others.

If a game is fun, it's fun to try to master it. Any activity is like this. I don't get why you find this incomprehensible.

>>12151365 (OP)
But I need to learn teh speedtrooning strats to brag online

>>12151365 (OP)
I game specifically to mog normies, even in the single player realm. So I try to incorporate a few speedrunner techs into my runs and attempt deathless so I can still reign superior over the casual normie masses.

>you're enjoying the game wrong!
This sentiment needs to be a bannable offense

>>12151365 (OP)
More gametime with fewer games is how you extract the most joy out of gaming. Don't be one of those reddit fake gamers with a million isos and roms that they never fucking play. Don't jump from game to game because you have backlog fomo. Play a game to mastery. If you didn't beat it on the hardest difficulty you didn't beat the game.

>>12151449
So just bragging rights online...

>>12151365 (OP)
i take pleasure in playing well, but it's not really something i force on others unless they're shitposting and trashing on games for skill issues

>>12151465
>be miserable like me or else you didn't beat the game
No thanks, I would rather have fun than be burn out

I dont even care about "getting good" in a multiplayer game. Every time i play mp games is really only to grift people and hear spergouts.

>>12151465
The reason to have many roms is that its pointless to download stuff like singular NEA roms when a no intro is so small.

>>12151449
You play with toys to prove your superiority?

>>12151510
>no skill but different content
>bashing your head against the same wall of content
Huh I wonder why, you know you can play different actions games instead of the same one over and over just for the illusion you are getting good at something that matters. (It doesn't)
>you improve at life
Lmao no unless you are a speedrunner or something

>>12151517
but then when you go to pick a game the good shit is mired in an endless wall of shovelware

>>12151529
You literally type the game name into the file search bar, how can that be too hard for anyone.

>>12151529
Sounds like your problem for downloading shovelware

>>12151365 (OP)
Video game achievements/trophies were a mistake

>>12151526
you get more out of five playthroughs of the same action game (normal, hard, very hard, all medals etc) then you do out of one playthrough of 5 games. doing it your way you never engaged with the mechanics, all you did was look at the picture and press the button and coom. whats that got to do with video games. you should be watching tiktok or other such brainrot if you want to "surface level novel content"maxx

>>12151510
This is just as bad as the other extreme of easy mode/cheating through a game. I have better things to do than play stage 2 of Castlevania Bloodlines 50 times

>>12151540
no intros are shovelware

>>12151548
That just sounds like cope from someone that got stuck with the same game for months when he was a kid.
>oh boy I stomped this goomba for the fifth time, it was a totally worth it and different experience than the last fourth times.

I enjoy making an NES game my bitch. OK?

>>12151365 (OP)
>Do you genuinely care about "getting good" in a single player game?
Of course not

>>12151365 (OP)
A lot of older games were designed with replaying it in mind. Personally, I'd say a good retro game is one you want to replay as those are the ones you go back You aren't focusing on "getting good" you are getting good from replaying it out of enjoyment. This ultimately comes down to personal taste. Everyone's definition of enjoyment changes as entertainment mediums are always subjective.

>>12151365 (OP)
No. I don't even care about being good at multiplayer games.
pic not related

Yea I care about not sucking at anything I engage in. I feel like this is the prelude to some argument in favor of save states or something.

>>12151521
lmao, you put effort into things? Cringe

You can make people seethe more if you are good at the game

Been there, done that

Getting good leads to more ludo kino

Getting good is like being a tiger, playing with your prey and humiliating it before the kill.

Even when the prey is supposed to be feline too...

Dunno, I replay the games I like, that's all

>>12151365 (OP)
do you care about getting good when watching a movie?

shit thread

>>12152931
too much work and i just dont care enough about mo games. If i need full autism i got my map painting and city builders to fall back to

Simpson's fans are always dumb.
I don't care about execution as much as strategizing, because that's more interesting to me. I tend to like games that allow freedom rather than following patterns.

>>12151449
>100%
>not 101%

Genuinely care? I guess not. I get frustrated when trying to beat something and find my skills lacking, but at the end of the day they're just games, and I'm only playing for fun.

>>12152986
>I don't care about execution as much as strategizing

Strategy and execution are two different sides of the Get Good coin. A lot of people fail to comprehend that hence the number of people commenting that "you can't get good at an RPG", which are all strategy and no execution.

A player doing a 1CC of Final Fight just with repeating the starts he saw on youtube (=execution) will have NOT gotten as good as the player coming up with those starts to begin with (=strategy+execution).

Man, people really are on this constant crusade to put down anyone who takes pride in being good at video games.

If a game is fun, I might as well master it.

>>12151775
How do you think this guy is doing today

>>12151365 (OP)
I like getting the correct flow to succeed at something that felt very daunting originally. But I don't feel any drive to grind marginal improvements like scores

Although getting better second by second in racing games does feel good

>>12151365 (OP)
If I like a game I’ll make sure I can complete it on the hardest difficulty. Easy difficulties are just insulting if you aren’t a small child.

>>12151365 (OP)
If something's fun, it's fun; if it's not fun, it's not fun. That's all there is to it.

>>12151365 (OP)
I care about the challenge/fun ratio. Now, this can differ from game to game and genre to genre. If I'm playing a shmup, I do not want it to be easy, because the fun of shmups are the challenges. At the same time, too much bullet hell bullshit turns my dick inside out. If I'm playing a beat em up, I'm probably about to fall asleep and I just want an easy quick couple stages, like the Simpsons arcade or something. If a game hooks me enough, then yes I care about getting good.>>12157210
>getting the correct flow to succeed at something that felt very daunting originally
This is a very articulate explanation of why it's fun and rewarding to "git gud" in single player games.

>>12151365 (OP)
Yes when the game is my particular fantasy fulfillment like Armored Core, or if it leads to satisfying rewards.

>>12151509
Odd comment given that folks with the highest iqs often have autism

>>12151365 (OP)
A single player game ceases to be a single player game when you start caring about being good at it.

>>12151365 (OP)
what a weird line of reasoning. Is this a cope for you sucking dick at retro games, relativism?
