Oooh, it's been a while since I've gotten the classic Herpy Condescension™! I don't know what dogs barking in your head told you I said anything of the sort, but it's categorically untrue, and what you're describing simply is not apparent to me, and we play a lot of the same games. Do many games come with bugs? Sure, but I have never experienced any of the things you've described in any of the games we've mutually played. I've never had a problem with the stealth in TLOU or the prompts, which I never really needed after a while anyway.

Of course, now that the gloves are off I don't have to pretend to be polite, so I'm going to tell you right now that I think what you're mistaking for bugs or poor design decisions almost certainly amounts to brutal incompetence on your part. Like, DarkSydePhil levels of sucking ass.

looooool ok. Sorry I made you mad enough to try to insult my ~gaming skillz~, but you're the one who has mentioned to me multiple times that you play mostly retro games (the ones I recall most are System Shock and older Fallout titles).

It was an honest question. If you actually were primarily a retro gamer I wouldn't expect you to be all that familiar with the shitty state of game releases this generation.

I ain't even mad. But I never once said to you that I "mostly" play retro games because that would be a lie. I mean, I do play a lot of them, but I play an equal amount of more recent games. I mean, it's not like I haven't CLEARLY had my pants halfway down to my knees over Doom 2016. Or XCOM 2. Or a lot of other games made in the last 5 years. So you assumed that because I play games made a decade or more ago, that MUST mean I'm a retrogamer, let's just ignore all the time I talk about more recent games.

And I didn't have to be mad to insult your gaming skills. I legitimately think you're a bad player, and I'd been dancing around it earlier in this thread trying to be polite.

I guess I could point to CoD spec ops rankings in the top 1000-10,000 (out of several million, obvs) to "prove" I'm good at video games, but like... why? I finished M:LL on hard no-kill, all stealth too. It doesn't really matter to me what you assume about my skill at gaming though, because that's childish as hell and seems like something a gamergater would resort to.

For real: you have said directly to me multiple times that you were a retro gamer. Sorry I assumed that was the truth.

Even if that were true -- and I'm sure you're furiously digging up the links to prove it -- that doesn't magically mean I don't play modern games. So you made a stupid assumption and decided to talk down to me about it.

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2016-05-20 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
No, I really don't care enough to dig up links to prove you called yourself a retro gamer.

It doesn't matter.

An assumption isn't "stupid" if it's based on what you've told me. I don't go around reading all the comments on all the threads, so I have no way of knowing that you play a specific percentage of AAA titles or whatever else you think I should be aware of... I frankly don't have the time.

So basically I am telling you I did not tell you I was a retro gamer (because I am not) and you're sitting there telling me "YES U DID" but can't come up with receipts. Okay then. Let's just pretend we haven't actually discussed newer games on several occasions.

I'm telling you that it's not at all important to me.

I'll believe you from here on out that you're not a retro gamer. It now just seems really weird to me that you'd tell me you can't tell the difference between New Vegas graphics and Fallout 4 graphics, whereas before it seemed somewhat plausible.

A-are you confusing me with someone else? Because I have never actually said such a thing, and anyone with functioning eyes can tell the difference between NV and FO4 -- hell, NV and Skyrim for crying out loud.

What're they growing up in Canada, man? Must be pretty good.
