Its the power curve. When you have a great match of dota 2 you feel kind of god like yet when you have a poor one you feel so fragile. I'm terms of sheer dopamine activation no game comes close to going ham in dota 2 and feeling unstoppable.

Conversely most other games dont have that kind of buzz. Horizon is very pretty but there is no buzz. Diablo hits the dopamine with its loot being drip fed to you but its just not that big a hit.

I could totally get someone playing a game or 2 of dota and outright hating it, i felt that way after my first game 5 years ago and didn't pay again for a month but i came back and while the hits are extremely gratifying, the lows are the worst moments I've had playing videogames

Add to that that a couple of my real life friends play occasional matches with me and the captivating professional scene and joy of watching the game being played at a high level and that's why i like games like Dota 2.

Fighting games are pretty intense

Growing up I was told a Vietnamese parable: hell is a bunch of starving people surrounding a bowl of rice who are unable to feed themselves because their chopsticks are too long to reach their mouth, while heaven is the same only everyone is well-fed because they feed each other.

They both sound like kind of a bad way to spend eternity to be honest

Hell yeah. Becoming good at The Last of Us feels amazing, it's like you become a crouch-walking hobo of death.

I went back to it to get the platinum last year, did all the single player stuff but then I went online for the multiplayer trophies and everyone still playing at that point was using DLC shotguns with like the range of a rifle

Did he ever like a video game

Help Im Alive
Nov 8, 2009

Harrow posted:

He likes plenty of games. His shtick is just to accentuate the negative in everything. In general, if he takes any time at all to praise a game, he liked it and his over-the-top criticism is just for entertainment purposes. He really liked Persona 5, for example.

I don't really find him entertaining anymore, but I used to. Even back then I was aware enough to figure he didn't actually hate every game and that I shouldn't take his "reviews" all that seriously, but it's probably pretty likely that a good portion of his audience takes him completely at face value, sort of like those "Everything Wrong With" Cinema Sins movie guys.

Cowcaster posted:

i remember him liking a lot of games? just that it was the redlettermedia problem where even when they really like something they'll still criticize the hell out of it and for some reason most people can't seem to understand how that is possible so their cerebellums fuse and assume that they hate everything

Oh well ok, my bad. I only ever saw like a few of his videos back when he was really popular (i didn't know he was still around)

I liked that one stealth/heist game he made though

I've never played a TPS on PC and there's so much going on in Vanquish (especially in the challenge mode) so it just was a little hard for me to visualise for a second
