    Ohhhh yeah getting called a cheat is fun and sexy but I’m still high from when I googled my gamer tag years ago and I had made a list of “gamers to look out for”.

    mmmmmmm

    The last time I tried to play CS, somebody politely (I thought) told me that perhaps I should play with bots.

    My buddy and I weren’t doing so hot last year and used Halo Infinite as our therapy. Pretty sure both of us alternated between being called a bot and a cheater every other match. It’s amazing sometimes just how bad you can do and still be called a cheater. (High plat to low diamond lobbies, we weren’t amazing)

    29 years old and still able to make top 500 in a lot of competitive games. Hopefully it isn’t ONLY downhill from here.

    Nobody on rocket league would ever believe someone in their mid 50s could play at champ 1 level.

    And when I was having a bad game and the inevitable toxic bullshit was typed up the reply of “I’m probably over 20 years older than your dad and I’m at the same rank as you are” usually got them to stfu. It felt great.

        There’s just something about fps with keyboard and mouse that my brain doesn’t grasp, a controller is muscle memory and second nature so I’ll always prefer them.

            99% of crossplay shooters don’t have that while playing with others. Just for single player. These are the same arguments halo Players would shout at me when I whooped their asses with grenades and shotguns, so yeah im not a sniper but I’m the guy on the team that flushes out the enemy and may occasionally take a a death to give the team a dozen kills. But you get me in close quarters with shotguns and melee and you done!

            And I mean talk about aim assist, a mouse is aim assist x100

            You may as well point at things with your finger

              This is literally just not true

          Same to be honest. I can click my way around a screen, but I can barely aim with any precision.

          I find it easier to roughly aim where someone is, and then fine tune with character body movement, which is something accomplished way easier on dual sticks

    I’m 42. I suck at FPS. I downloaded battlefield 6 and hated it.

    It wasn’t always this way. I still have a screenshot from COD World at War where I got over 100 kills and only died once during a game.

    I got accused of using scripts in a street fighter 6 lobby, I was so flattered ! And I didn’t even know scripts existed or what they do!

    I am near 50 and I am not even good.

      I could never remember all the button combos for fighting games like that, it’s impressive!

        I don’t use them and some people frown on them but there are modern control scheme now with some auto combo and easy special moves. So it’s better than before on that front but still not for everyone I guess.

          Virtua Fighter is my favorite. Simple 3 button layout and all reflex. It’s intuitive and you don’t have to remember a shit ton of moves.
