Games got more complex, also it's not like the old netcode was flawless either.

I don't think you can find a more polished and well supported FPS on the market than CSGO right now, and at $15 it's a hell of a bargain. Grab it on a sale and it's a steal. CSGO and Dota 2 are the only games holding my attention right now.

Burned by Hi-Rez twice now, not touching this with a 10 foot pole.

I understand, I have more friends who think like you than think like me :p I find it relaxing to compete, and I enjoy games of skill. I feel like I'm wasting my time playing single player games; it feels like virtual masturbation. With multiplayer I feel like I'm being social, to some...

I am the exact opposite. I almost exclusively play competitive multiplayer games, with a few random coop games thrown in. I play for the challenge, and the competition. I play these because skill matters in these games, I either objectively play better or worse, and can always find room for...

A e-sport quality combination of Counter-Strike and Bad Company 2 right now.

Is it still super grindy to get c-bills as a free player? That was what turned me off of it originally, enjoyed the gameplay, but feeling like I'd have to grind 40+ hours per mech was a little discouraging.

Ignore for a fact that 5 games really doesn't give you a breadth of experience: "Oh man, I played 5 matches on Battlefield 3, and I can say, without a doubt, that vehicles are totally fucking broken." "Oh man, I played 5 matches in Counter Strike, the AWP is fucking OP." "I played 5...

I just can't get sucked into sandboxes like that anymore. When I was a kid it was a lot easier, but I also had oodles of time. I struggle immersing myself in most of these sandbox games because I find a lot of it to just just asinine.

Take Skyrim (Well, not actually skryim, I didn't buy it, but Oblivion or Morrowind) boring to me. Like, super boring. I wandered around, talked to some people, stole stuff, went out in the world, dived into a cave, killed some monsters, went back to town to sell all of my stuff and then tried...

I need competitive, skill based multiplayer. Only games single player games I've completed recently were Mass Effect 1 and 2 (I have 3, I started a campaign, but I haven't even left earth) I really just can't stand single player games anymore. If the AI isn't outright cheating, the...

At least he reads your comments :(

To the first half: That's where most of my argumentation has been directed at. MOBA's do take skill, and lots of it, to be at the top. I've played both LoL and Dota, and I would certainly argue that of the two, Dota is much more difficult, and that LoL suffers from a higher floor, lower...

Not a WC3 fan?

Dota is basically an ultra condensed version of a Warcraft 3 match. Sure, it borrowed elements from predecessors (Aeon of Strife most notably) but WC3 gave a very strong foundation to build off of. Playing WC3 ladder, and transitioning to Dota was extremely easy, because so many elements...
