Winning games! Do you really care?

[FoxEye]

Um, you don't 'win' upon completion of an SP game, you complete it.

With today's games it's really hard to even know when you've completed a game

After all there's the first ending, the 2nd ending, the 3rd-6th endings, and the super-secret best ending. Of course you need to beat the game on all the difficulty settings in order to get the best ending.

Then there's the post-game, the achievements, the "find all the crap for 100%" marlarky... And I've even played a couple where 100% isn't 100%...

And there's so many games competing for limited time...

Now I've never cared about beating all the difficulties. I choose one and try not to change it mid-way through. Once I've beat it on my chosen difficulty I almost never go back and replay it on a harder mode. But of course the Ubermensch will say you haven't completed it at all if you've just beaten "normal" setting, you wimp. You casual.

Then there's the 100% stuff. Why would I bother? There's so many games on my "to do" list, why would I even contemplate finding and collecting all the dancing bananas you've hidden throughout the world? Yeah, not a chance.

These days I play until I feel I'm not playing for enjoyment, but because I'm getting hung up on beating something and have stopped having fun in the process. Along similar lines, I've also learned to stop watching a film half-way through if it's naff. Too little time to give everything the full 90 mins

As for MP... I don't. Games are my escape, and it's hard to feel like you've escaped when you're surrounded by loud, angry gibbons Besides, why should I really care who is best at playing vidya games? Being a pro gamer is like being a world darts champion. You're still morbidly obese cockney at the end of the day.

" If you really only care about winning then why not cheat? " because i dont cheat. cheating isnt winning.i explained this earlier.

" Or twink your account/character so you always end up matchmaking against lower ranked/ability players so you can kerb stomp them and get your kdr up with minimal effort? " i play pubg. as you win more you progress against higher players. so this doesnt work. so kerb stomping low ranked players isnt a factor. also your ranking as you win more is effected by losses or lower placings.so you have to play better every game.

" Don't get me wrong, I'll try my best to win, but not at the expense of having a good game " I have good games every day with good players. i just personally dont like playing with bad players. i see no point. so by playing with decent players winning more and having good games and fun. it doesnt come at the expense of having a good game because you are playing with decent people and fun people.

just because someone is better doesnt mean they are not fun.weird how people always relate performance to being a dick.its a shame people look at others as not fun just because they want to do better or be better than avg joe.

this is often why people say im not bothered about it as long as i have fun.often because they do badly.they then have a excuse to say im not bothered.its natural.hopefully that clears it up.

i still dont get why you would suggest people cheat if they only care about winning. its obvious why and any other arguement / debate to try and even reason cheating as a decent option for winning is stupid. the only reason you would suggest so is if the persons would have no ethics. when anyone who is truly competing for something on a level playing ground obviously has.

so hopefully thats that.
