And this is partly the reason multi-player games have lost my interest. The "win at any cost" mentality, coupled with me being an old bastard really made them a shit experience.
Helldivers 2, with its team based goals is a bright spot, with it seems everyone out for a good time. Last night played with a kid who seemed to have a mic & headphones for the first time ever and it was hilarious, "hey bro, bro" nonstop chatter & everyone rolling with it. Good times!
- It feels like most multiplayer games are trying too hard being an E-Sport. I understand why. It’s really good marketing if a game is popular to watch.
  I miss the days of Team Fortress 2 where everyone just mind their own business until the announcer says it’s 60 seconds left and then suddenly everybody makes a combined effort to win the game.
  Or just casual death matches.
- I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That's why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it's just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great
  
  Sometimes I actually surprise myself on the myriad of ways i can off myself...
  There should be a compilation video of the most unique, like: ive been blasted across the entire map, freefalling and ragdolling for ages and Injust sit there in amazement.

I assume that they mean in addition to QA. I worked on COD, those QA testers were some of the best FPS players I've ever seen. I can't explain when or how due to my NDA, but I've seen professional players/streamers get stomped by QA. You could even tell which ones have spent the most time working on live multiplayer by how well they play.
- The best pinball players in the world are the machine techs. Because they know all the exploitable flaws.

So you're saying we can play it now if we just go download it.

Eh, they're going to get banned on launch 💯. Not super into rockpapershotgun's clickbait headlines.

There's always people ahead of the curve. You're never gonna contend for the best just by starting at the same time as everyone else anyhow. Being the best takes raw ability, hard work, and something special that I've determine matters most. The most important thing for being the best is that you gotta want to do the thing purely for the sake of the thing. There's no feedback loop that'll ever beat the motivation of wanting the actual thing. Think Goku. He wants to fight.
I'm a flow artist and I'm REALLY good. I got this way because there's nothing I like better than pushing myself to move dexterously like this. I'm also the top ranked project muse player and got there before I had any idea I was actually that good. I'm just obsessed and being the best is a byproduct.
- Wtf is a flow artist
