To be fair, I'm certainly above my D1 rank but I don't have mates who are as good as me, so I'm just dropping. And playing with randoms just isn't fun.

Guess it's time to hit up the RL Friends reddit again.

Well, that's another story but when you play 3vs3 solo standard and don't manage to rank up over many hours then it just means you aren't better and not that the 400 people you played with were worse as the 600 players you played against. But these people try to tell you that "I have always teammates which are worse than me and my opponents"

Same obviously for pretty much every other game.  

That's true to some extent. To rank up with randoms you have to basically be skill wise several ranks above your current one or you will be stuck in MMR hell. This only gets better once you reach D2. So if someone says that he's skillwise Platinum 3 but is stuck in Platinum 1 that could easily be true. To rank up, all your team mates need to be a higher skill level than what they currently are ranked and in solo queues that is always a coin toss.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Easy one: people who buy expensive (in the case of my country, VERY expensive) consoles to play only Fifa and/or PES, ignoring all the amazing experiences that the console may provide with tons of games in different genres.

And, of course, extremely biased and nonsense reviews

Yes!

I know of a few people who own PS4s as a FIFA machines and nothing else, to the point where I've heavily advocated and recommended Sony exclusives to them.

You know... I think this is really strange, and nonsense

I have a friend who owns a small videogame shop. Many times I saw him in situations like this:

Customer: I want a PS4 and a game of football

My friend: Ok. We have PS4 bundled with [game A] or [game B] or [game C) and you will get a code for download [game D] for free, and we have the latest FIFA for $ n and PES for $ n or used ones for $n. Which one do you prefer?

Customer: Don´t you have a PS4 with no games? I just want to play Fifa/PES. I don´t like games with story

My friend.: Sorry, we don´t have stand-alone devices anymore.... but the bundles cost the same price and you will get two games for free.

Customer: I don´t want them. I just want to play a game of football. Sell those games to someone´s else.

My friend: I can´t do it. It wouldn´t be honest from my part to do that as a seller. Besides, I can´t lower the price.

Customer: That´s ok, I´ll pay full price but take those games out of the box. I just want to play a football game.

People who claim any game with a cartoonish art has a "great art style" just because it's cartoonish and has colors in it.

People who tell others their subjective opinion about artstyles must be wrong.

- Them: Console A was the first to do this.

Me: Well actually this other console did that five years before Console A.

Them: That doesn't count.

This is well known behaviour outside of gaming:

Switch being called a hybrid.

Hybrids can't switch between species. A Liger doesn't flip between being a Tiger or Lion at will. Hybrids are 1/2 of A + 1/2 of B = C.

Switch can change between A or B like Bruce Banner/Hulk. Hybrids are half of each like Grey Hulk (Mr Fix It) or WiiU.

Sooooo... the Switch is a transformer?

People need to understand that everyone has preferences and consumers are not beholden to create professional reviews. What's wrong with denying a game because of certain gameplay aspects? What's it to you if someone doesn't want to play a game after 10 minutes?

I'm sure you've also looked at countless video game covers or descriptions and instantly rejected a game because of that without giving it a proper chance. You're being a bit hypocritical and judgmental here.

I've seen people rejecting FFXIII after only 20h even though the game gets a lot better after 40h. But I don't judge them for it. It's not their fault that they have shit taste.

Well, to be fair: looking at covers is before you put money down, stop to play after 10 hours is after you put money down.

Sports and racing sim games are a snooze fest: bland , uncreative and repetitive.
I don't know how people can look with a straight face and say that they prefer these over any other videogame.

Shouldn't your friend be like "woohoo, extra profit!" from that exchange?

Oh, and they better have went with FIFA cuz PES sucks!

He could.... but what would other costumers think about him if he did that? You know... sometimes it´s better just to be honest and avoid unecessary gossip.

I told him to suggest them to take the games and to sell it on ML (Brazil´s Ebay)
