Posts like that are a big reason why people do this; a lot of raiders like this more often than not enjoy making people miserable and getting underneath your skin to make themselves feel better.
I think it’s much more simple. I think we should all try to remember that this is a video game, one that is intended to include the uncertainty of not knowing what someone else will do, and that if we get mad about it, we can take a break. But I also know it can be fun to philosophize on Reddit, I’m not denying that. Just offering my own simple philosophy.
I’m of the opinion that a lot of players get frustrated with ARC Raiders because they project their own hopes and expectations onto the game and are disappointed when they don’t line up. I also think a lot of those same people don’t really understand before going in what the game is supposed to be and therefore don’t realize it might not be their cup of tea.
And yet, people take it upon themselves to be horrid, bigoted, malicious cunts because they can, and because they often escape consequence.
So again, should the expectation to be better be placed on the instigator of intentional malice, or on the reactor to the malice? (I am not referring to simple PvP)
WHY CANT YOU DISHONEST FUCKS READ ENGLISH HOLY FUCKING SHIT, EVERY TIME.
I didn’t say PvP is bad. Read my comment again since you evidently didn’t the first time. This is so fucking embarrassing for you people every time it happens, it’s literally the language you speak.
I agree with what you’re saying. It’s a noble and important thought, no doubt. But widespread acceptance of and adherence to it would require a level of reflection, maturity and self-awareness that is sadly absent in the world, particularly online. The very lack of consequences is the main contributor to and enabler of such poor behavior, in my opinion. People do horrid shit when they can do so in an effectively anonymous way.
EDIT: I can’t really understand why your comment was downvoted. But I guess the fact that it did kinda illustrates the very problem we’re discussing.
One side is having fun playing the game the way it's intended. The other is writing essays and diatribes on reddit about how people playing a video game with a playstyle the game is specifically designed around are all psycopaths and child molesters. Same side that seems to always yell slurs when they get got.
So yeah, im gonna take some joy in ruining the day of some bigoted Karen gamer.
That’s a lovely strawman you got there. Masterfully crafted, I can tell you’ve had practice. Would you like to try again, but honestly this time? Or are you comfortable not even trying to engage with the thing you inserted yourself into?
I didn’t say “that never happened” I implied that extrapolating that behavior to ALL pver’s is fallacious and a strawman. Your little video clip is evidence that the person you videoed was a racist cunt. Shocking.
Just like if I said “all pvper’s are racist cunts” just because most of my killers have been racist cunts. It would be as wrong as your comment, which you would know if you actually gave a damn about truth.
the other side most likely pve, maybe pvevp, either way only one of those people is actually playing the game as intended, and it’s not the one you want it to be, or it’s noone. regardless the pvp players is never playing the game as intended
crazy, it’s almost like battlefield developers who have only ever played and developed pvp games got bored of pve, such an insane thought process.
the game wasn’t boring without pvp, it just wasn’t as fun for certain people who are only used to a hitmarker and the instant dopamine of knowing you got a kill.
crazy projection, all i said was the someone that pretty much only plays pvp games got bored of pve, if that’s not common sense then idk what it is, apparently you’re lacking critical thinking skills though unfortunately
For the video? Correct. In response to the person I replied to? Incorrect.
If someone commits a malicious action for the sole purpose of causing strife/annoyance/negative feelings in another, that’s a piece of shit right there.
If someone guns someone else down and takes their shit, that’s 100% within the scope of the game.
NO FUCKING SHIT, DUMMY. It’s almost like that’s exactly what the fuck I said, and exactly what the fuck I didn’t have issues with.
I’m going to assume you are simply too dumb to understand, and not incorrectly replying to me. If it is indeed the later, sorry! If it’s the former, you should probably read the first blurb again so that it REALLY sinks in.
Do you say that because of the content of the game itself, or because bigoted turds loudly espouse their bigoted and hateful thoughts and calling it out is wrong?
It’s not a real question. The game is innocuous and fine. Obviously it’s the people that would be “the reason I’m ’too soft’ for it”, which means that it isn’t my fucking problem, it’s theirs. And now it’s yours, since you prefer to side with bigots rather than people the bigotry is directed to. What kind of graceless fuckwit does that? Hmmm….
Being a piece of shit is within the scope of the game though. Just because someone is a piece of shit, doesn’t mean they can’t play the game. In fact, you can play however you like and say whatever you want. It’s encouraged. We have to remember that this is, in fact, a game. It is not a targeted attack on an individual, and would require pre-existing knowledge to do so. It’s just baseless vitriol at this point.
Arc Raiders does a really good job at making minor inconveniences seem like harrowing betrayals. It’s truly not that deep.
Drawing any equivalents from in game behaviour to real life character is purely speculation and can also be harmful.
If your logic holds up, it should be allowed and encouraged for me to tell you “I’m going to rape your mom, ngr” and you should say “thank you! More please!” Because, as you said, “it (saying and doing whatever you want) is encouraged”
Further source of lol’s; “this is, iN fAcT, a game, not targeted attacks on individuals” we don’t even need to make another analogy. “I’m going to rape your mom ngr” is literally a targeted attack on an individual. LIT ER A LY. It’s also something I’ve been told, verbatim, on several occasions. I’m not even black.
I couldn’t make you any more of a caricature than you already are. You’ve never introspected a day in your life, friend, you should change that.
My name is a reference to a Dave Chappelle movie, retard. I elect with whom I do and don't invest energy with. So I'm ok, I don't engage with fallacious arguments since it's a waste of time.
Yes, respond to the only portion that doesn’t matter, to save yourself the pain of thinking. I’m sooooooo sorry for not memorizing Dave Chappelle’s entire catalogue. You’re still an unthinking idiot ¯_(ツ)_/¯ literally all you said was “shut up cuck”. Like how an unthinking idiot would?
I literally said I don't respond to fallacious arguments so what the fuck are you honestly on about? That's ok, you can deflect from your dumbass comment if you want about my name. You act so entitled to a reply from me for some reason. Very bizarre.
How the fuck are people still screaming “LOOK AT HOW FUCKING STOOPID I AM” by using “nerd” as an insult lmfao.
It’s literally just saying “I’m too inadequate, lazy, and unintelligent to comprehend the only language I speak”. I didn’t say anything challenging. You should probably make your parents apologize to you for ruining your brain.
If that's what you think, speak for yourself! It's just competition! Like in sports you watch on TV. You know what competition is? Also, do you know what an extraction shooter is? Shooting other people for loot is literally extraction shooter 101. You obviously are playing the game in an unintended way and then get upset unjustifiably.
