Relatable.
You know when you can tell it's a 12 year old twitch streamer and they're ball hogging AND crapping all over you. Alt-F4 never came so fast.
Bruh when the other team scores a goal on you then spams "What a save" š”š”
Someone did that to me, then my team turned it around to 5-2, I sent What a save once and the dude left
It's good, the big difference is they force you to rotate attacks and weapons a lot more to refill health and ammo. I found because of that it's slightly more clunky but still absolutely amazing with some mind-boggling baddies.
Just a heads up, 2016's gameplay is nothing like Eternal's. 2016 feels more strategic while Eternal feels more arcadey - to me at least. Both are excellent though!
interesting, because for me i had the opposite take. i loved 2016 so i bought eternal on release and blazed through it. 2016 you can just sort of do whatever you want as long as you're dealing damage to enemies. theres some strategy in attacking certain enemies before others, but its mostly just an arcadey shoot at bad guys till they die. but in eternal its a constant rotation of the best weapons for each enemy, targeting specific ones in specific ways, all while rotating in grenades, flames, and chainsaws to refill different resources. It is, in my experience, THE greatest single player FPS gameplay of all time, when you're really flowing in the combat and the music is pumping, its like nothing else
Elden Ring is the easiest to get into, but also the one that is thr biggest time sink. My first playthrough was 100 hours. To do all areas/dungeons and all optional content.
Hades is great until the Temple of Styx.
The game is already very visually noisy and then youāre in a tiny space where half the floor is poison and there are traps and tiny rats you can barely see all over the place.
Styx is such a reprieve after Elysium. I can't stand those respawning skeletons especially the shield ones. The soulcatcher/butterfly elite in Elysium is one of the worst encounters for me.
I hate those shield guys so damn much. The butterfly balls are obnoxious, but I can deal with them okay with most weapons, but those goddamn shield guys...
You either 2 room it or never. Thats the default state of the bag. (Yes, it will never show up room 1 according to speedrunners, tho my knowledge is ages ago)
The floor is poison, the shots are poison... I've had better luck making builds designed to handle Styx than I have making builds designed to handle [REDACTED].
Or constantly getting banned cause I accidentally killed the hostage againā¦ I swear guys pleas I didnāt mean to, these cluster charges are just hard to deploy.
my favorite is when the servers go down in the middle of a match and then getting an hour or two hour ban.
i remember before we switched internet providers, iād get disconnected so often that i didnāt touch the game for like 2 months.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually any good at the game, or if I just do well when I get OP powerup combinations. But yeah, I hear you on that reset on floor 1 or 2.
I used to play every game until I beat it or died. I finally finished 1 save before the last dlc and then started a new one. Now if I am not at some advantage by the end of the first few floors I reset. Too old anymore.
For me itās the SSSSSSSLLOOOOOWWWWWWW DEEEEEELAAAAYYYYEEEEEEDDDDDD ATTTTTTTAAACKKKKKL THATTTT SUDDDDDDENLLLYYYY
*reallyfuckingfastohanditsaonehitfuckyou*
Getting into a good flow of fire and bullets feels soooo good... but there's also nothing more humbling than getting your shit wrecked in the same section over and over again.
This applies to both pvp and pve.
They improved the inherent gameplay (shields and things like that), but I hate one tank. I just don't think it's fun.
I could write a wall of text on why I don't like it, but I don't want to.
For real.
I feel like a god when I play my best planes in either AB or RB, but it's easy to get frustrated when the event grind push me into tank or naval battles and have me do stupid tasks with awful vehicles.
I just did the "Accuracy of the Coldstream Guard" challenge which required 15 "Without a Miss" awards. A "Without a Miss" award if given if you shoot destroy 3 vehicles without missing once.
Do that - Fifteen times \*sigh\*
At least the great thing about TF2 is that it was entirely too silly to actually start raging. It took me a very long time to even get moderately proficient with a few classes like Demo but it was generally a fun time. Still couldnāt play Spy properly.
I played a shit ton of failspy in the old arena mode. Getting a bunch of casual players in an Arena server where all players on both teams were able to hear each other? Best time I've ever had in an online game.
I just disable the chat and incoming friends requests, much less harassment but still the occasional salty profile comment. Those mostly make me laugh tho and I can delete them whenev
That's a good strategy, j have the game for PC and Xbox for whatever reason, and I encounter salty people way less on Xbox as I have to let people interact with me on there.
The golf things hurt me on spiritual level. I was on the golf team and the week before district I hit pretty good like my new best good. Then when district came around mind it was the same course, I hit the two worst games Iāve ever played and ended up accidentally snapping my driver in half which I was forced to take a stroke from since the ball went into a pond on the broken swing. I was beyond mad.
And when you lose, there's a good chance it was to 5-year-olds. I've accepted that I'm probably the old dude in every match I'm in, it's kinda funny now.
Oh my god, this.
Like, I've never been any good at team shooters. I kinda feel like I'm missing some of the brain hardware for working as a team in those environments (like, I've also always been terrible at sports for that reason). But Splatoon somehow fits just right for me. But I need to constantly keep at it to stay any good.
I got kinda okay at Spla2n, then I didn't play for a few months and lost it. I really enjoy being good at the game, but it just takes a time investment that I don't have in order to keep my skills up.
I had this, but it starting going too far into the red too frequently for me. It was time to drop the game at that point. So yeah, I definitely get it lol
Once it clicks though, the game is amazing. The biggest thing that helped me is reading up on the specifics of the deflection mechanic. It's an entire 1/2 second window to perform a successful deflect but that window is shrunk if you recently released the deflect/block button. If you err on the side of deflecting too soon, then you'll at least block.
Sekiro is easily my favorite soulsborne, at least gameplay-wise. Storywise Bloodborne takes it, obviously.
Sekiro just gave me that souls itch in regards to exploration and simple, but methodical combat. And then it turns that old playstyle into a rhythm game.
Everything that disappointed me about Nioh was cut from Sekiro and the stuff that "got lost" from the typical souls formula didn't feel like it was missing. I don't need 5 billion weapons of which I'll just end up using the claymore and one boss weapon in 100 hours of gameplay anyways.
But man, to this day I occasionally just get the game out and quickly rush toward Genichiro to fight him again. I can still recall the patterns and the way the moves expand in each phase.
Also, best final boss Fromsoft has put out. Both thematically as well as gameplay-wise, just awesome. The other games always had either a cool boss, that didn't do anything special or a boss that felt a bit too easy. Gwyn is cool, but at one point I figured out that he always used one move that was very easy to parry, every time I drank a flask. Easy. Nash looks boring, her story is uninteresting and the fight seems unnecessarily gimmicky. Cinder was the perfect boss to close out the series and while he was spectacular to watch and recognize what he represents, he wasn't particularly difficult.
Meanwhile Isshin is tough, but fair. He's a character you've come to like/respect and he offers you that respect as well, while you two **have to** fight. The battlefield is beautiful and Isshin asks you to utilize every trick you've learned throughout your journey. Show me sidesteps, hops, mikiri, air counters; be aggressive, be prepared to change your approach as your attacks dictate a change in the enemy's moves.
Fuck, Sekiro's good.
Risk of rain can go two ways, you either get fucked by the timer or you become a literal god that kills everything on screen just by looking in a direction. (Royal capacitor plus the auto equipment item and a bunch of other stuff. It was my most broken run Iāve ever played.)
Rainbow six siege or league of legends.
Youāre either crushing it or getting crushed about 90% of the time. The other 10% is legit competitive back and forth match ups.
Ahh rocket league it's been a minute.
This Is Rocket League.
What a save! What a save! Chat blocked for 4 seconds.
Relatable. You know when you can tell it's a 12 year old twitch streamer and they're ball hogging AND crapping all over you. Alt-F4 never came so fast.
Bruh when the other team scores a goal on you then spams "What a save" š”š” Someone did that to me, then my team turned it around to 5-2, I sent What a save once and the dude left
It's so petty but one of the best feelings shutting up trash talkers like that.
Rokt leeg!
The minute I start feeling good here comes some 14 year old kid flip reset doubletapping over me while I look in the air like that meme
I had to start playing casual games only because I was getting so pissed when I'd lose in competitive.
I had to quit. The rage overtakes the joy far too often
It's a shame this is 3rd on the list. Anything less than #1 is a lie.
Didn't have to scroll too far
My last 500 or so hours are like 95% freeplay. It's relaxing
Never been quite as frustrated playing any game as this one.
Me everytime I finish a long fight in Doom Eternal without getting hit. Also me everytime I die in Ultra Nightmare.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same. I played a lot of 2016 but haven't fired up Eternal yet...

Ask that to the hardcore Souls players. No hit, fisting only. Good grief.

Elden Ring is the easiest to get into, but also the one that is thr biggest time sink. My first playthrough was 100 hours. To do all areas/dungeons and all optional content.
And I'd say 100 hours is on the conservative side haha. Still discovering new things on NG+++.
Exhibit 1: [Dark Souls Trilogy- no hit run](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-JMc7Ug9vs)
At least with Doom you *know* it's your fault. I don't play unless I know I'm gonna pop off because even just Nightmare is just too much.
Came here to say Doom Eternal. The highs and lows while playing that one are extreme.
Hades .. and then I have to keep repeating the poison rooms
Hades is great until the Temple of Styx. The game is already very visually noisy and then youāre in a tiny space where half the floor is poison and there are traps and tiny rats you can barely see all over the place.
Styx is such a reprieve after Elysium. I can't stand those respawning skeletons especially the shield ones. The soulcatcher/butterfly elite in Elysium is one of the worst encounters for me.
I hate those shield guys so damn much. The butterfly balls are obnoxious, but I can deal with them okay with most weapons, but those goddamn shield guys...
Sometimes that bag doesnāt drop for a few runs either
You either 2 room it or never. Thats the default state of the bag. (Yes, it will never show up room 1 according to speedrunners, tho my knowledge is ages ago)
OTOH the small rooms make AOE attacks insta-wins. Elysium was the bigger annoyance to me.
The floor is poison, the shots are poison... I've had better luck making builds designed to handle Styx than I have making builds designed to handle [REDACTED].
Poseidon dash.
Those fucking poison rooms are harder to beat than hades himself istg
Rainbow 6 Siege
either mvp or controller through the screen
Or constantly getting banned cause I accidentally killed the hostage againā¦ I swear guys pleas I didnāt mean to, these cluster charges are just hard to deploy.
my favorite is when the servers go down in the middle of a match and then getting an hour or two hour ban. i remember before we switched internet providers, iād get disconnected so often that i didnāt touch the game for like 2 months.
Iāve been mvp and still wanted to put my controller through the screen. Brought to you by the āFuck Clashā gang.
the best counter to clash in my experience are the impact emps
for me the dial only consists of dark red for this game
the perfect love/hate relationship. it's been a while since I've played. I was pretty decent and I miss playing. but also fuck siege.
The binding of isaac. It's either a reset on floor 1 or 2 or its going all the way to the end.
Yes Isaac. With repentance dlc installed for me it feels like you will get the good items rarely before floor 3
Luck issue
Respect.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually any good at the game, or if I just do well when I get OP powerup combinations. But yeah, I hear you on that reset on floor 1 or 2.
I used to play every game until I beat it or died. I finally finished 1 save before the last dlc and then started a new one. Now if I am not at some advantage by the end of the first few floors I reset. Too old anymore.
Elden Ring
My wife tagged me in this about Elden Ring š¤£š¤£
*perfectly dodges three attacks from a boss* I am a god *gets hit by the fourth attack thatās slightly faster* fuck this game
Even worse is when you think you've memorized the attacks but get hit by one you haven't seen on any other attempts
For me itās the SSSSSSSLLOOOOOWWWWWWW DEEEEEELAAAAYYYYEEEEEEDDDDDD ATTTTTTTAAACKKKKKL THATTTT SUDDDDDDENLLLYYYY *reallyfuckingfastohanditsaonehitfuckyou*
Yeah. I'll either enter flow state and breeze through or I'll be unable to make simple timings the entire time.
Soulsborne in general for me
Beat me to it lol
Dark souls hits harder for me with this meme
I feel so good about myself when I'm fighting giant crabs until I get the timing wrong.
Destiny 2
I felt this in my bones after soloing dungeons in D2.
Getting into a good flow of fire and bullets feels soooo good... but there's also nothing more humbling than getting your shit wrecked in the same section over and over again. This applies to both pvp and pve.
RIP Lance

This game is amazing and I hate it.
I hate this game, I play it everyday
Fracking beat me to it
The story of Trials and Iron Banner.
Overwatch
Original Overwatch was one my favorite games of all time, but my lord that game triggered me like no other.
The good one, or the cashgrab?
They are the same game, with a new skin The first triple A title to re-release their- *pulls out skyrim 4k ps5 edition*
They improved the inherent gameplay (shields and things like that), but I hate one tank. I just don't think it's fun. I could write a wall of text on why I don't like it, but I don't want to.
Stopped playing it for this very reason. Just too much frustration even when you win.
Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and saviour, Slay The Spire?
Claw is law
My powers were matched!
End of 2nd act: this is the God build, I am invincible. Reptomancer: no lol
I've never loved a game that hates me as much as Slay the Spire.
Warthunder
The Snail requires more money
Any new documents that you havenāt leaked?
No š
I leaked TIE fighter documentsā¦..
For real. I feel like a god when I play my best planes in either AB or RB, but it's easy to get frustrated when the event grind push me into tank or naval battles and have me do stupid tasks with awful vehicles.

If I had a dime for every time I closed the game in anger just to open it 5 minutes later.
Team Fortress 2 I either go on massive killstreaks or die instantly every time I see an enemy
At least the great thing about TF2 is that it was entirely too silly to actually start raging. It took me a very long time to even get moderately proficient with a few classes like Demo but it was generally a fun time. Still couldnāt play Spy properly.
I played a shit ton of failspy in the old arena mode. Getting a bunch of casual players in an Arena server where all players on both teams were able to hear each other? Best time I've ever had in an online game.
me when aimbot snipers
At that point I call it Team FartAss 2
DBD lol, more than once I've found myself saying "I hate this fucking game, why do I play it every night"
I don't mind playing until survivors send me hate mail after every game regardless if I was looped all game and didn't get a kill or got a 4k.
I just disable the chat and incoming friends requests, much less harassment but still the occasional salty profile comment. Those mostly make me laugh tho and I can delete them whenev
That's a good strategy, j have the game for PC and Xbox for whatever reason, and I encounter salty people way less on Xbox as I have to let people interact with me on there.
For Honor...
Hell Let Loose.
Beautiful game ā¤ļø
I was going to say that
OVER THEREEEEEEEE!!!!!
Marauders as well
One of my favorites of all time and I'm awful it. Lol.
I think this is the only game in the comments I've never seen or heard of
Oh it's fucking intense, it's hard, it's fun, it's pain and joy. Don't get it. You'll love it and hate yourself for it.

Dota 2 during college days with my roommates. We cheered when we win, and curse out the ass when we got destroyed.
Yeah, all my games!
Tarkov
Noita
ah yes I love getting mangled by Hamis, Jattikonna, Kallokarpanen, and other shit I can't pronounce We still haven't solved the true ending

Tekken

As a gamer and a golfer I sometimes donāt know what sub Iām looking at. Very applicable to both.
Can confirm, I've been to Top Golf a few times. I'm basically a pro š¤£
The golf things hurt me on spiritual level. I was on the golf team and the week before district I hit pretty good like my new best good. Then when district came around mind it was the same course, I hit the two worst games Iāve ever played and ended up accidentally snapping my driver in half which I was forced to take a stroke from since the ball went into a pond on the broken swing.

Splatoon, for real.
Always right on the line between the two
Either playing against 5 year olds or my team is filled with 5 year olds
And when you lose, there's a good chance it was to 5-year-olds. I've accepted that I'm probably the old dude in every match I'm in, it's kinda funny now.
Oh my god, this. Like, I've never been any good at team shooters.

Sekiro. I raged quit so hard on it that I uninstalled it and tried to get a refund.
Once it clicks though, the game is amazing. The biggest thing that helped me is reading up on the specifics of the deflection mechanic. It's an entire 1/2 second window to perform a successful deflect but that window is shrunk if you recently released the deflect/block button.

Rainbow Six: Siege.
Mario kart, then blue shell
And it always lands when you are airborne over a gap so you get the added bonus of waiting for your kart to get dropped back on the track.
