You see this on reddit and especially xo. “Gamers” bragging about their prowess at “video Games,” constantly citing “difficult” Games that they “beat” when they were 12years old etc.

These people display a sense of superiority (elitism) and may be suggesting that those who can't achieve what they did are not "real" Gamers (a form of Gatekeeping).

Another trait of these Gamers is constantly trying to outdo another Person's story or achievement. These dismissive attitudes that any difficulty a player faces is simply due to their own lack of skill, often coming from Gamers who see themselves as highly skilled but who may have not achieved their self-perceived “elite” Gaming skills.

doodikoff you haven’t even beaten a game this decade, STFU. You’d kind of have a point if the issue were contained to Margit and you were sick of the try-hards with no lives.

It's literally no-life dorks who do nothing but play games all day, so that's the only thing they have over other people.

PS4 had no games imo. It also didn’t bring a new breakthrough in disc technology. At least PS5 plays 4K blu-rays.

PS4 was, relatively speaking, miles better than PS5, which, indeed, has no Games.

you didn't have to in the 2010s, because Gaming was decent. Now you spend all of your time watching State of Gaming videos because you have nothing else to do as your PS5 gathers dust with no Games IMHO
