I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.
And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”
I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.
Call of Duty. Any of them. The campaigns are capable and fun, and I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve played, but the online sucks so hard to me.
I first tried when they first came out, but the internet wasnt fast enough for the “who shot first quick fire twitch shooter”. I would be on a bridge then teleport to like 5 different places in a second, then the killcam shows me that actually I was just walking into a wall while XxProSnip3zzxX shot me in the back. Wow I sure suck at this game.
Tried again a few iterations later and my first 5 games in a row the game had already started and my team was already caught in a spawn trap. We’d just be respawning into a firing line getting mowed down the instant we spawn. 0k 15d.
Finally got a real game going and I was just getting completely murdered by people who’ve never stopped playing and understand the maps perfectly and gun you down before you can even react to their presence.
I tried the battle royale one and it was really exciting for about 15 minutes. Ive got one life, im surrounded by death, i can hear fire going in all directions. Then i never see anyone. I run from likely location to likely location and theres nobody. Its just me. I start shooting in the air “come and get me, lets fight”. Nothing. I see a tall building and think if I can get to the roof I can see where people are. I go inside the building. Im dead now. There was a guy perched on the lip on the inside of the door, waiting this whole fucking time just in case somebody walked in like I did. He’s teabagging me now and punching my corpse. Such fun.
i only play single player and cant stand call of duty games. (i did like black ops 1) the games are 100% scripted. i pkayed the wwii one with josh duhamel. two things stand out. i was defending a holl with my ai teammates helping. i started to realize theybwerent killing anyone and it was up to me. then, kater i exit a house with at least 5 friendly soldiers in front of me. i was preparing/healing and notice a dog running toward the house. i thoight “no worries, its one dog, someone will kill it”. nope, it zig zagged and not one ai npc card, it killed me. i load the save and get back to that point and the EXACT same thing, EXACT movement of everybody hapoened… thats when i quit
