but when games are constantly shoving them in your face it's fucking cringe and annoying. or when anything is actually gated behind "achievements" that's an instant Drop

i like them because it shows what % of people did a thing. it's interesting to see how many people went down x path, experienced some rare event, or completed the game on different difficulties.

there are way too many of them and usually are just used as some skinner box sense of accomplishment. that's gay.

This is the #1 answer. Tell me how much shit this motherfucker can carry; I don’t want to sort shapes to cram in an extra sword that I’ll sell when I get back to town. Ideally give me gold directly rather than making me simulate being the African guy sorting through garbage for scrap metal I can sell.

i like this because it can add additional dimensions to what you can have. if an item takes up whole horizontal row you cannot carry something that takes up a whole vertical row. but if they were just reduced to weight you could carry both. it's not much different than only being able to equip one weapon and one accessory. the devs can design items that make it impossible to use with others in a way that just boiling them down to weight wouldnt.

I have literally never seen anyone other than people playing COD, Halo, etc. complain about "SBMM". You don't hear CS/Valorant/Overwatch/whatever players mention it, that is just how the game is expected to work. I don't want to run around farming five year olds

google "SBMM" and basically everything that pops up are COD players whining. you are just delusional

The first two pages when you google "SBMM" are from:

halo

cod

cod

(bunch of cod youtube links)

cod

cod

cod

cod

And Valorant is more popular than COD now, so it's not like this is just a matter of "it's not on the first two pages because fewer people play it."

I stopped looking after this. Just admit you're a codboi and be done with it.

No it's because most FPS are just not fun if you are curbstomping 10 year olds, and the exact kind of person who loves doing this is also the exact kind of person who loves COD. It's different if you're playing a game like Battlefront or the TF2 mode with a billion players, but a 5v5/6v6/etc style game without SBMM is just fucking boring.

Nobody gives a shit about SBMM besides COD players or maybe other roller-first games like Halo or Apex. Nobody. Nobody else talks about it. You play COD and that's why you care. It's as simple as that.

People don't want SBMM in casual modes, it shouldn't be in regular ass TDM on call of duty, like back in the old days it was random matchmaking that sorted by ping and sometimes you got stomped or sometimes you did the stomping, games were variant and you could bullshit around and have fun instead of every game being the fight of your life. People are fine with SBMM and Elo in ranked game modes of course. There is room for both.

even the people who are in favor of it in that screenshot are also COD/halo players. nobody playing any other FPS cares about SBMM and it's just assumed that's how the game will work.

if you want to bemoan the death of custom lobbies and 20v20 TDM or whatever that's a different thing entirely. but that isn't what people are complaining about. in a 5v5/6v6 style FPS not having SBMM is just boring as hell once you get to a certain level of skill.

yes, that's the point. it's literally only COD/halo players who whine about SBMM. there is a very specific demographic who is obsessed with it, if you asked a zoomer valorant player (or any other competitive KBM FPS) what their opinion on "SBMM" is they would probably have no idea what you're talking about and then after you explain think you're a retarded pussy faggot.

RTS seems flawed in comparison to TBS. A commander doesn't strategize in "real time", he assesses the potentialities of the battleground and plans for them. and in fantasy/RPG games it makes little sense to be frantically clicking around and trying to direct the actions of your party in "real time". it's like you're trying to play God but without any of the advantages that an actual God would have.

this seems obvious so why are "gamers" always so mad about TBS and cry for RTS? is it just because they're retarded?

I loved RTS but it is probably the genre most destroyed by minmaxxing turbogooks. Like I played red alert 2 online back in the day and to compete u had to use all these weird meta strats like mixing dogs in with your tanks and it got way out of control. And all these offshoots like MOBA and whatnot are even worse. Degenerate gook games

I like SBMM in smash bros because it actually tells you your “score” instead of letting you live in ignorance
