Is This What Gaming Has Reduced Us Too

TalkPlayStation: "As I was playing Street Fighter 4 the other day which by the way is quite boring and slow. I told myself that If i didn't like the arcade mode I would attempt to try the online. As I joined a match, I was up against someone who has never played the online part before. As the first round started I was winning but then he cornered me and kept pressing the square button on me. He kept punching me until I was dead. He did this for the 2 rounds. As I quit the match I just threw my control away and left the room with what dignity I had left. It also reminded me about the video you are about to see. Is this truly what games has reduced us to do. Get angry and break the first thing we see. I'm not going to say 'Enjoy The Video' but i am going to say I feel the pain all these people are going through.

All you needed is to block. Press the Back button.
You could had thrown him on wake up.
You could had used Focus attack.
You could had jumped out.
You could had charged an ultra or special while getting hit.

Trophy Unlocked. You Suck at fighter games.

no_more_trolling5544d ago

lol for real. if he doesnt know how to block then he is a noob. i hate playing noobs online

The gaming GOD5544d ago

Hell no, I don't hate playing them. That's how you get those silver "win in a row" trophies lol

Style5544d ago (Edited 5544d ago )

He's just stating the obvious fact that SFIV sucks.

no_more_trolling5544d ago

when people says a game sucks, its more likely that they are the one that really suck.

u sukk!!!!11one

NaiNaiNai5544d ago

yep like those people who talk about LBP, KZ2, MGS4, Halo 3, Halo wars, L4D, Geow2, Fable 2. and alot of other games.

people who say the games suck suck at the game. or are just plain fanboys.
-nai-

thats_just_prime5544d ago

Nai thats kind of fun cause I think LBP, KZ2, MGS4, Halo 3 and L4D all suck and doesnt have anything to do with how good I am or being a fanboy I just dont like those games. I do like GoW2 and Fable 2 tho and havent played Halo wars yet so no idea on it. Point is some people just dont like some games

Rockstar5544d ago

Since when does not liking a game equate to the game sucking?

NaiNaiNai5544d ago

lets put it this way. most people who complain about halo 3, usually suck at the game, *low scores and such* or have never played the game *= fanboy*....tell me what games have you been really good at and you hate them.
-nai-

thisguywithhair5544d ago

What you are saying is BS and you know (or you should ne ways). If I don't like a game I am not going to play it, because I don't like it. You say that I don't like the game because I suck at it? I say I suck at it because I DON'T PLAY IT because it I don't like it.

Lich1205544d ago

For the most part I agree with Nai on this one. For example I like all those games (except MGS4) because Im good at those kind of games. And while some of that has to do with the fact that I play them the most, most of it has to do with what felt natural from the get go. Also, his point about saying a game sucks because you don't like it is right on too. I don't like MGS4, but I wouldn't ever say it sucks. Its just not my kind of game.

You know , everyone complaining about online modes in fighting game , need to realize that , even if there are a lot of rooms for improvement and could/should be better ... ultimately fighting games are the kind of thing you mostly enjoy sourrounded by people ...

Personally i dont see much point in Playing Rock band , street fighter , tekken or soul calibur , alone in my room with a stranger located dozens of miles away ... except maybe once every while challenge myself .

And even if unlike me you enjoy it a lot , it still doesnt beat playing with friends or at the arcade .

JBaby3435544d ago (Edited 5544d ago )

My bad.

aaron58295544d ago

Isnt this article more about the "video" than SF4 being suck or not ?

ForNgoods5544d ago (Edited 5544d ago )

I guess the notion of blocking escapes him. The funniest thing about this is he calls the other guy out as a noob with no online experience.

Can I Date Your Avatar: Sexual Harassment in Online Gaming (WayoftheNerd.com)

"More times than not guys have said, “I don’t see any girls playing Call of Duty!” and it isn’t limited to just Call of Duty, you can insert any game into that statement and yes, a guy has said it. But the truth is that there are plenty of females playing all of these massively popular games online, be it on PlayStation Network or Xbox Live; they are just hiding from you and this is why.

The amount of times a female gets sexually harassed over these games, in one way or another, is beyond me as a male..."

funny man!

that's the way it goes man!

women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!

60million PSN users, now I know where the 30million half game from, and the only game on Home.

Kon4858d ago

"women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!" That was quite disturbing.

-Alpha4858d ago

Sadly his comment is resoundingly true. That simply is how women are perceived a large majority of the time

DaCajun4858d ago

@ Jack

A lot of crap coming from you there. So from what you say, all your ex-GFs didn't want anyone that didn't look like Brad Pitt or was rich so that makes you a liar because I seriously doubt you look like Brad and are rich. You just sound like some disgruntled troll that has been turned down and rejected a lot. Also sound like the women you did date if any dumped your ass, so now you are trashing them like you are some saint and they were the problem when it was more than likely you were the problem. Go look in the mirror before you trash on women because your LITTLE pride got hurt.

Butt hurt troll, people like you are the reason why females hide on video games so not to have to deal with losers like you who treat them like trash because they reject you.

"I don't see any girls playing Wii fit"
"I don't see any girls playing farmville"
"I don't see any girls playing... kitchen themed games"
I could go on...

Good article though! Funny :D And serious :/
That's how it should be.

Neckbear4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

Such foul creatures still exist?

I thought we had banished them from the pace of our manly Earth last century, and presented them with their utmost beloved friend and life companion: the kitchen.

...Guess there are still some out there that want to build a revolution.

...May the Lord have mercy on us, for all the sins we must commit to extinguish this threat aside once and for all.

Men, it is the time to rise, and fight!

But ah, on-topic:

Honestly, if you don't like it, then change your sex.

Or something.

But ah, as long as women don't go "HURR IMA GURL GAEMR GUISE!" online, I don't mind playing with them.

...Then again, nope, women that go all like "YES I'M A GIRL AND I PLAY GAMES" are in every corner of online gaming.

And beyond.

wotnerd4858d ago

It shouldn't come to that, there is no reason why girls have to take the backseat and change their gender to be able to play a game.

firefoxprime4858d ago

haha...sounds like that MEN vs. WOMEN = (galactic warfare) anime "Vandread". Check it out. Its pretty awesome.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well this what happened last nite when gaming with my gf on Blk Ops.

Kid in game,"WTF! Girls don't play COD! GTFO!"

My gf,"Hey STFU kid or I'm gonna find where you live, grab you by the leg and shake you til you drop your lunch money!"

Yes girls DO play games.

distorted_reality4858d ago

I'd be quite worried if I was you.

It's only a matter of time before she shakes you down for you lunch money as well.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well I pay lunch. She pays for our games. So it's a win win. :)

-Alpha4858d ago

LOL! That's an awesome comeback
