and if you play smash you're honestly just a pedophile. straight up. that shit is so fucking weird to me; it's an inconsistent mess of characters from different universes with 0 attempt at game balance that requires hundreds of hours of practice per character to get ANY enjoyment
meanwhile it has like what? 50 characters? idek because it's so fucking boring that i'd never waste my time paying it attention. it should be a crime to market it game on its range of characters while having that kind of NECESSARY per-character time-investment
like jesus fucking christ, if you actually know the down+b for every smash character i seriously hope you see a therapist, for your own sake and for the sake of the 9 year olds who these games are made for
if improving skill at fighting enemies in video games is the enjoyment someone is looking for, dark souls or even batman: arkham night or any spider-man game is infinitely less rage enduring and requires WAYYY less time investment.
and that's not to mention games that co-center world exploration like the witcher or assassins creed
i'm obviously just raging out over the 1's and 0's i don't like at this point, but i'm actually mind-blown that anyone would spend their time in shitty fighting simulators when they could be playing a game with MORE CONTROL over the fights and other content.
like even fucking Watch Dogs is more fun to me, and those games are ass, but at least when i press a button i know what it does and it does it consistently and predictably
i cannot imagine coming home and thinking "oh, i know what sounds like fun, trying to win a competition based on my ability to reproduce a 50-button sequence completely from muscle memory"
i'd rather just blast my mind with xanax and build a house in minecraft LMAO
and for fucks sake playing against a sweat-lord who's put in a thousand hours into one of these fighting games (but hasn't ever played more than two of the 50 characters lol) is objectively worse than human torture.
you ALWAYS just end in either a grab/throw spiral or bouncing up and down like a piñata without ANY control of your character whatsoever. HOW IS THAT FUN? even for the sweat-lord cheeto man doing the juggling, HOW IS THAT FUN?
god they're repugnant af
when i regain control of my emotions i'm gonna look over this thread again and try to psychoanalyze and synthesize the reasons i hate fighting games into a coherent message... might even write a medium article lol
last post in this thread is a genuine plea: can someone tell me 1 reason to play a fighting game over a racing game or call of duty zombies or any 2+ player platformer or coop-rpg?
