Why doesn't /v/ hate casuals anymore?

>>384286092
The casual kiddies grew up and invaded the board.
The oldfags are tired and busy with other stuff.

Just the other day I saw a thread where this faggot was bragging about not having more than 150 hours on any game.
Pathetic.

>people act retarded
>suddenly retards think they're welcome
Who would have thought all the ironic shitposting and falseflagging would have an outcome like this.

>>384286092
Hard games are considered autistic now.

>>384286092
Because they won, and they're in gaming to stay

>>384286092
I hate Tei

>>384286092

>>384287887

>>384286092

anyone with like a thousand hours in a single game need not apply

>>384286092

/v/ is full of console war leftovers and normies

>>384286092
/v/ is flooded with flumpskins from r/the_donald now

>>384286221
Just another case of newer users overtaking the old. People say that constant flow of newcomers are necessary for a community to survive, but at one point, it's stops being worth it for that community to keep going

How do you pronounce Tewi again?

>>384286092
Genres with high skill levels stopped innovating so if you want to git gud at something today the chances are the high point of the genre was reached 10 years ago, so every possible strategy has been thoroughly tried, recorded and documented so 90% of the learning curve is scaled by wiki pages and tutorial videos. Only and idiot would actually play a competitive game to learn it.

Also the developers with resources to make proper competitive vidya are all snared in by muh esports money and microtransaction shops, so the optimal design makes even shitty players *think* they are doing well so they keep spending money.

You coin up exactly what I hate about competitive gaming. There's almost no experimenting or creativity, just looking at what the big boys do and parroting it as perfectly as you can.

>>384286092
There are constabtly thelread sup discussing ecelebs like giant bomb and dunkey, constant threads about wharever garbage overwatch churns out, and then usually some political trigger thread for crossposters. 4chan is just casual as fuck and that really shouldn't be surprising at all. It doesnt help that newer generations will grow up on the skill cucking games known as tripleA western titles.

It is what it is anon.

Gaming as a whole is more casual now.The hardcore people left ages ago.

>>384290478
I really miss the days when /v/ would collectively shitpost to death any attempt to talk about casual games. It was a time when we had taste, pride and standards.

Being casual is the best way to experience gaming. Why would I want to worsen my experience?

>>384289607

Yeah but people who do that implement strats they don't truly understand and can be exploited if you are good enough to be aware of what they are doing.

I think that anyone who tries to discuss Halo as if it was an actual game worth talking about should just be underagebanned for a year. Would help a lot in clearing this board of neo-/v/.

>>384286092
Most of /v/ turned into the casuals they hated 5 years ago. The older anons got jobs and don't have as much time for video games anymore and the younger ones grew up on mobile games and other casualized garbage.

we reddit now

Casual is a perspective.

Seconding this. If we make talking about casualshit a bannable offensive, it won't take long to get a cleaner board here.

I hate the devs that pander to them instead. As long as casuals aren't pretending to be legit gameboys for attention I couldn't care less.

>>384289063

That's nothing new though. That happened for /v/ at least 8 years ago.

If you think WoW was liked around here before, you're probably the one who's new. There weren't really WoW threads in 2007-2008 when I started browsing, and if you made one, you'd be told to fuck off.

And this is coming from someone who enjoyed WoW a bunch.

Whoever came up with the "ignore it and it'll go away" mentality needs to be shot for this. Before, when any of the aforementioned threads were made they'd be sage bombed into oblivion. Somewhere along the line it became """autism""" to tell undesirables to fuck off, so here we are.

Because casual games are fun and that's the whole point of playing video games. If it's not fun, why bother?

>>384286092
What anime is this?

>>384299428
It's not fun if the game is playing itself and it jerks you off for doing nothing other than a very simple button press here and there. The whole game could be one large series of quick time events for all it matters.

>>384289063
A steady flow of newcomers is good when they're small enough to be forced to adapt to the existing board culture. Too many and they overwhelm the existing users and the old board culture dies.

It's too difficult to keep hating something for years. Really tires you out. Plus, it's just video games. As long as games that I like keep coming out, I'm fine with whatever other people enjoy coming out, too. The only exceptions that come to mind, though, are people who praise WoW and FFXIV as the best MMORPGs currently available because those games actually killed the genre and caused games I liked to either die or get changed dramatically, so they can fuck off.

Everybody grew up

>>384286092
We don't?

>>384286092
Because they are the majority now.
I remember some guy in a thread saying you shouldn't save your stat boosting stuff for the endgame because you can look up a guide so that you don't waste the items on a character that doesn't need them, then he tried to defend using guides instead of playing and finding out for yourself what units are shit or good and when you should use them.
It's over, the casuals are /v/ now.

This only works until you get up to a high enough skill that people actually do understand why the strats work, at which points you generally adopt the strats or lose. You aren't going to chance upon some overpowered new strat that the guys playing the game as an actual job didn't find.

>Saving stat boosting items for late game

People who do this crap and won't use consumables because "but I can't buy that" drive me up the wall.

We can consider it as casuals invading our site but in reality we are the old lions being pushed out of the pride.

What actual games are you giys talking about desu? I feel like you would all start arguing with each other if names were mentioned.

Why would anyone care if someone plays casually? It doesn't affect them what someone else does.

Because I realized that 'casual' players of games are fine.

Its the whining faggots who cry that they died in a PVP game, or MMO players who just want to pay 2 win everything that I hate even more.

2007 was ten years ago. 2007! Height of Western gaming's Gilded Age, where the needs for skill and strategy were discarded in favor of pandering to the lowest common denominator, where game design began to be done by focus groups and accountants rather than by developers, and where focusing on debased, streamlined annual sequels made so much money and impressed so many corporate overlords that any voice to the contrary was silenced. Every year afterwards has tried to be 2007, to diminishing returns. And that was ten years ago. Many casuals who were underage then, who never consciously knew a world in which there was not an Xbox and who never set foot in an arcade, who have never heard their princess was in another castle or played a fighter that wasn't hacked apart into paid DLC characters and "balanced" so that losing gives you more powerful moves faster than winning does or even threw their controller down in rage when they couldn't find the necessary key in the Water Temple, are old enough to post here. They never got a chance to be anything but casual, nor did they make any effort to seek such chances out. And they are here in vast numbers now.

Because there's nothing wrong with being casual

>>384310112
I don't mind streamers since people that watch them don't care much for actually playing video games anyway. Esports are cancerous as fuck, multiplayer games are in this shitty limbo where the developers want them to have as widespread appeal as possible by being simple to learn and fairly casual but also "competitive".

FPS games on consoles were made fun of and complete trash forever, because everyone knew that a controller would never come close to a mouse.

Halo had the crowning acheivement of massively dumbing down fps games to make a game that was ultimately bad, but playable on a console. Cue hundreds of rehash shooters that use extremely similar mechanics and idiots lap up.

Reddit boogeyman representing "anything I don't like" is more annoying than actual Redditors, it's just an extension of the identity politics bullshit that's infested everything else.

>>384312494
>2 weapon limit
a ton of fps have a limit to the number of weapons you can carry at once, why is 2 especially bad? if anything it forces the player to pick a strategy instead of hoarding power weapons and being an unstoppable swiss army knife

>dedicated grenade button
grenades in halo are more of an assisting tool than a standalone weapon, there are grenade launcher weapons for this purpose

pretty much necessary to make it playable using a gamepad, or nobody would ever hit anything - obviously a PC version wouldn't have it

The state of /v/ posters, probably posting from an iPhone 7 plus

Phoneposting should really be removed from the site, it would make everything so much better. I don't mind letting them lurk but they should not be able to post.

Phoneposters are half the traffic and all of the worst content.
Would be easy to do as well.
Of course doing it would somewhat expose hiro's lies about bandwith being a problem.
