CS/mario kart actually harder than UT/gran tourismo?!?!

I swear it's like it's 2000 again and a few random Countards are trying to push off their noob game as taking more skill than Quake and UT. I thought we had graduated to trying to teach modern shooter fans that their games are skilless half-assed shooters.


Why isn't it? Because in UT the amount of skill you have directly plots to where you are on the scoreboard. If you suck, you will be at the bottom, if you are good at the top. In CS there is no such relation at all. I remember picking up CS in the earlier versions right off UT. I AWPed bastards left and right as soon as I learned what the AWP is. I was a force of nature, and I just sucked at CS. That would have been absolutely impossible in UT, even with instagib, you would require absolutely amazing skill at aiming and dodging to do anything.

UT2004 and Quake 3 were the last well made games where noobs weren't pampered to try to make them feel good. Though it explains why the recent shooters sell so much, the better you think you are the more likely you are to buy the game, whether it is true or not.
