Playing videogames to exclusively shoot other human targets is lame as gently caress. I totally agree, but also have a billion hours in LoL, just because I'm quite good at it, so it's quite fun doing the mechanical actions of it, I imagine like someone who's good at a sport like darts or snooker feels, y'know? Like snooker is the loving same every single time, but being quite good at physics is just somehow satisfying, and LoL is a bit like that. I don't think I'm the same as other players I know though, because to me it's JUST like a toy, and the idea of getting angry at it is bewildering.

CrRoMa posted:Lol isn't simulating real life and snooker isn't simulating killing people Oh I see, sorry I hadn't really taken in the 'mudersim' aspect of what you were saying. Yeah, I think it's the same though. I think it's a STUPID false equivalence, personally. Like, I don't play pacman and think I'm actually eating pills to eat ghosts, and there's no threat of me becoming 'more of a ghost hunter'. Likewise, I don't play counterstrike and think I'm actually murdering humans, because I'm incapable of thinking that textured polygons are the same as human babies. Maybe in the future with VR there will be enough of a similarity in approach mentally, but, I just don't think any of the mental space overlaps for normal people, and if someone was as unhinged as to be influenced by a game, it's just because they're unhinged, not because the game puts you in a murdery headspace. Like, to get a gun in real life you don't press B, 4, 2, 2, or whatever. The mental space of 'aquire gun' in CS is checking a number at the bottom right of a screen and pressing a memorized series of buttons. Even that, even getting your hands on a gun is COMPLETELY alien and unrelated. There's basically zero in common with shooting the gun, except aiming, and even that isn't actually similar. Like, nothing about playing CS informs how you would murder people with a gun, any more than reading about a murder would. I actually think LESS so, because when you read about it, you would put yourself in that circumstance, but when you play the game, you actually put yourself in a DIFFERENT circumstance that DOESN'T inform the real world equivalent. Obviously, I might be completely wrong, and this generation is going to grow up and murder the poo poo out of each other and all of us with guns in a hurricane of blood that they're totally blaze about, I'd completely believe that's the case and I'm the weirdo as well, because man, EVERYONE on league is loving livid 24/7 and that's as close to 'the ultimate childrens toy' as I'd wager any victorian era toymaker could have imagined, so it would stand to reason that the thing that should probably fill you with adrenaline, fear, guilt and anger actually leaves them totally cool.

FoolyCharged posted:Most shooters on consoles have an auto aim built in that will cause you to track your target if you aim in their general direction. I recently decided to pull timesplitters out for nostalgia's sake and it's really noticeable once you're aware of it. Yeah, many do, and many have the option to turn it off. There's also the option to play shooters on PC with a pad, which still works. The statement was "the reason you can play them at all" which is dumb as hell Destiny 2's implementation of this is the worst poo poo ever

Gameboy tetris is still more fun than any other version of Tetris I've tried, original pac man is still better than that steam game version. I like my arcade games noncommittal and to have a limited focus and no unlocking or extra power or whatever poo poo.

I liked the sims because there really wasn't any other sort of game where you could build and decorate houses. The actual life simulator was secondary to building a sweet pad.

got into borderlands 2 again because i found the remaster really, really cheap. its not awful and pretty fun at times, its just the first hour or so suck rear end and a bunch of the tutorials pop up way to late. the writing is mixed bag of course. the remaster seems to have fixed some of my issues when i played 2 on the xbox years back. either way at least it will be time to kill til spyro hits.
