>scares the fuck out of people

Every time I try it, it only makes them angry or they start arguing like women. Such girly responses are usually like "so edgy", "who hurt you?" or "insecure much?"

>>16868050

Not quite what i'm aiming for. I want him out of vidya, period. Saying NIGGER in a server he uses will only affect me. Though, I could establish being his friend and see if that gets him in the hot seat, but I'd rather not chance it. Results are what count, after all.

>>16868051

So what game did you just lose at?

>>16868050

I've noticed this, too, though I am usually pretty good at deflecting them. The worst is when the game devs actively censor you or will ban you for being 'offensive'. Kinda reminds me of this board, getting banned for saying the wrong thing

and I mis-posted this as a thread, fuck

>>16868087

Are you okay?

WOW! OP needs to pat himself on the back right this secondness! I've never seen such incredible TALENT for making outstandingly dumb threads and posts

>>16868100

Not sure why you're taking this so personally. Maybe you should take a deep breath, play some vidya, even though it sounds like you'll need to use easy mode.

>My friend is not as deep into vidya as I am

>Help me ruin his enjoyment

You sound like an insufferable faggot, so just keep being one when it comes to games and he might leave them and you at his own accord.

This is hilarious man, you are a complete psychopath get help.

Nice job smoking out the casualfags and the normalniggers on /v/, OP. Now we know who to give the bullet.

Epic win OP, screen capped for great justice

>>16868087

Wait a fucking second…

Did I just get bamboozled to the fucking moon and back?

>>16868817

I don't IP hop, silly. I see that you need to git gud not just at vidya, but at accepting that we're in the majority.

>>16868820

I appreciate the fact you're not just shitposting. Thanks again, good to have hope in this board again.

That being said, do you recall your MH friend carting at any point? Have you ever seen your CUHRAYZEE friend get a game over, use a continue, or at least have a mission end with proof of a continue being used?

Funny enough, DMC5 is what prompted me to make this thread. Have you seen your friend have any results without the No Continue bonus? I found my friend beating a level without the bonus, and when he left to take a piss and said I could play it after I pretended I never tried it, I found that he played a couple levels more than once on Devil Hunter, of all difficulties. If that's not proof of him needing to git gud, I don't know what is.

>>16868825

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT HOW DARE YOU I'M ACTUALLY MAD, CHARGE YOUR FUCKING PHONE, HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DO THIS, YEAH I KNOW THAT "LE CHARGE YOUR PHONE XD" IS AN EBIN MEME BUT I'M SERIOUS I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINING THEIR EQUIPMENT, IF YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP YOUR PHONE CHARGED THEN I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HANDLER TO WIPE YOUR ANUS CLEAN AFTER YOU TAKE A SHIT

>>16868831

Not sure what you mean by the way

>>16868844

IT'S ALMOST LIKE ANYONE WHO CAN'T PLUG IN A FUCKING CHARGER AND CONNECT IT TO A PHONE MUST BE COMPLETELY, 100% RETARDED, AND IS CLAIMING MY TAX MONEY AS BENEFITS AS WE SPEAK, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT OF COURSE I'M MAD HOW DO THESE "PEOPLE" GET HERE I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT

>>16868856

>you should have expected this amount of shitposting

I assumed that /v/ was still ready to keep shitters out.

>Knowing my CUHRAYZEE guy he probably played at the highest level to get the best score

That doesn't keep his record clean. That brand of failure is going to be there and he can't do anything about it. He still is going to be brushed off with a "git gud" no matter what. He can still try, he just needs to keep his expectations in check.

>They never go around touting their skills at MH or DMC, so even if they cheesed a little it's fine by me

If your friend is drinking poison, would you stop them? Same thing, I'd say. Scrubs are doing anything they can to not adapt and git gud, so someone needs to put them in their place and start them on a new life of remembering to be seen and not heard at best.

>SMT DDS

I like your style. Say you like Devil Survivor as well and it'll make my day.

>However I did use continues in Bayonetta

Goddammit. I'll ignore how you just opened yourself up for not being taken seriously for the rest of the thread, and just ask why you confessed to this. I'm sure that you can't erase the proof of failures, so why expose it to others? Living with it silently is probably awful, but it's better than the world knowing of your loss.

>never tried to master the game

Careful man, that's bordering excuse territory.

>I used savestates in some PS2 JRPGs

I'll be reasonable here and ask how so. Like, I assume it's for quicker save scumming, not brute forcing a boss until you get all criticals. Unless you did, in which case I'm disappointed, honestly.

>I used walkthroughs on more games than I wish to admit

I can roll with that much, god knows I can barely play a PS1-era RPG without looking for missables every time I enter a new area. I know going in blindly is ideal, but I can't stand permanently lost content, even if it's just a shitty healing item.

>I never called myself a hardcore gamer

I think this can be turned into an accusation of an excuse. It's true, but watch yourself.

>nor a gamer(hate the term)

>not using it as a replacement for nigger in places where it's automatically filtered

>they might be better than me at MH or DMC

To which I say; if they failed, carted, used a Gold/Yellow Orb, or generally got something that would permanently show their weakness unless they wiped their save file, then not necessarily. The person who won once and never lost will always be superior to the person who lost a thousand times, but won a thousand and five hundred times.

>>16868835

>falling for bait this obvious

>not just falling for it but swallowing it hook, line and sinker with a side of redtext caps

Git gud loser.

>>16868906

Sounds like mental gymnastics to avoid being called a casual to me.

>Is someone still a casual if they have a good attitude and genuinely try their best to learn a game only to suck ass anyway

They're not human at that point, honestly, so maybe casual IS too kind of a term for them. If you try and can't improve, you don't deserve to play vidya. And newsflash, that's exactly what all casuals do.

>>16868911

NICE FUCKING NO U YOU DOUBLE NIGGER, I'M SURPRISED YOU COULD TYPE THIS GAY SHITPOST, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR CRIPPLING RETARDATION, NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A PHONEPOSTER, NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY HAVE LIKE 5% TOPS LEFT IF YOU'RE DEFENDING THIS, BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE A DOGFAG FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

>not just telling him he's a worthless piece of shit and you never want to play with him again

Is this the LOL thread?

>>16868971

I see now that I made a mistake to assume you're posting in good faith, with this blatant grasping at straws.

>>16868958

I'll still humor you, though.

>I am not gonna greentext all of your responses as we will just be here all day.

Picking and choosing, got it.

>I also did more "hardcore" stuff as well, such as a no death run of SW Battlefront 2(the original) through all the story missions on Hard

Alright, I'm sure this is a LARP, but you already admitted to having continued in Bayonetta. Newsflash, your achievements are invalidated. Suck it up and git gud.

>Another thing is that I almost always try to play the games in order of release

Literally nobody discussed this, thought about this, or did anything to prompt this blatant self-fellating over doing something that literally everyone else here does.

>You yourself have "marks of shame" for using them

Ahahahaha, holy fuck now this is a leap. But I'll play.

Show me where in my save file that proves I used a walkthrough. It's not tracked, so therefore, I can now say that I was lying, and devil's proof would dictate that you have to prove I was not lying at that time. In addition, if someone claims that walkthroughs are a sign of loss, then I remind them that the result was a victory. Otherwise, turbo controllers are a mark of failure. Hell, anything that's not playing the game on original, official hardware, as in no clone consoles, no reproduction cartridges, and no third-party controllers, all hooked up to a television made in the appropriate area is now a proof of needing to git gud. All this, and I didn't make one excuse. Keep dancing anyway, entertainment.

>maybe you yourself are obsessed with being considered a "hardcore game", without thinking that while you might suck in one genre, you can be a master in another

Of course that's how it works. You just then therefore don't touch the genre you could potentially fail at.

>If someone is a "pro" at RTS and joins tournaments, but sucks at fighting games and as such only plays with bots, does that make him a casual? If someone can 1CC the most difficult SHRUMPS, but suck at CUHRAYZEE games and as such only play them on normal, does that make him a casual?

Yes, I'm glad I'm getting through to you. No amount of accomplishment can erase mistakes.

Speaking of which; sorry to ruin your spotless record. But hey, you can still git gud. Good luck.

>>16868976

>This is objectively wrong on more than one level.

Okay. Back it up.

>I don't hate you because you're what literally amounts to a casual in imageboard browsing, but because you like dogs

I swear to god, of all the redtext I did, that should at least be the most blatant shitpost. By all means accuse me of backpedaling, but that should at least be a blatant MERELY PRETENDING, if nothing else.

>>16868981

Sure, here you go. Print it out and frame it if you want.

>>16868982

>>16868995

>>16869005

The last one I used a guide for was Chrono Cross, and it was just for what areas to really keep an eye out for items in. Still a walkthrough use, I'll admit, but if you care for my reasons and how I used it, there you go.

Now this is gonna be fun. Your argument is self-defeating, like a redditor claiming he was only pretending to be retarded when he posts a shit thread.

Your first mistake is in the base of your argument; if one cannot forget a part of the game, then one cannot say his victory was validated. The problem with that is how your two examples(read: whataboutisms) are therefore just as evil and wretched as walkthrough usage. While I won't get into your chuuni immaturity, I would like to point out the easy part first; cheat codes. You say that using cheat codes is better because a walkthrough means you're a cuckold.

However, I must inform you of the fact that you did not make those cheat codes. You're using someone else's tools to skip a part of the game. And what's this? Walkthroughs are made by other people, just like cheat codes? Good work, you did my job for me.

Now, I'll give you credit for the difficulty argument. That one is part of why this response took a while, so I'll admit you made this a challenge, albeit a minor one. You say that after playing on easy mode, it can be forgiven if you play on a harder difficulty later.

Too bad for you, but the inherent flaw in your argument about how that's better than walkthroughs isn't just pointing out our memes that make fun of easy mode players. No, that would be too easy.

Your mistake was forgetting that the solution to a section of a game does not change between Easy Mode and Hard Mode, and thus, you discovered the solution to a difficult part by taking an easy way out, like a cuckold.

Checkmate, and all without pointing out your IP hop and redditspacing, might I add. Hope you're ready for people to say BTFO, cap my reply, and post a bunch of laughing anime girls to show how bodied you got.

Thanks for the backup, by the way. Sorry that I've taken all of the limelight in making a lolcow out of 43af70, but at least one anon appreciates your effort.

Now post birds to help fight back against the dogfags.

>>16869057

yeah, and most games don't really require one, except for really obscure 90's DOS games.

>>16869060

My ID changes on this site no matter what I do. I can be in one thread and have a different ID for each post because this website is coded like shit.

>You say that using cheat codes is better because a walkthrough means you're a cuckold.

Yes. Cheatcodes will grant you invincibility or extra damage, allowing you to defeat boss fights with no effort. Of course, this was just an example and my real target was "difficulty modes," such as playing on easy.

>However, I must inform you of the fact that you did not make those cheat codes. You're using someone else's tools to skip a part of the game. And what's this? Walkthroughs are made by other people, just like cheat codes?

My point is that you cannot undo a walkthrough. No matter how many times you replay a game with a self-imposing challenge or an increase in difficulty, the effects of a walkthrough are permanent. You will never again NOT know what the solution is, therefore you will NEVER solve that part of the game yourself. It's a permanent loss on your end.

>Your mistake was forgetting that the solution to a section of a game does not change between Easy Mode and Hard Mode, and thus, you discovered the solution to a difficult part by taking an easy way out, like a cuckold.

At least the player figured out the solution on his own. If the solution is not any harder on higher difficulties, then they wouldn't have any trouble figuring out the solution then would they?

At this point I don't know if you're actually this retarded or if you're from J/v/

>>16868043

Absolute kek, how pathetic can you be, video games aren't a sport, go hit a gym pussy, bet you can't even throw a jab.

>First of all, attempting something once and succeeding doesn't mean that you can consistently do it.

So? You don't have to do it more than once if you play your cards right.

>For example a bad player who only wins thanks to a boss behavior that has a 10% chance of occurring is not better than a player who wins in the 10% likely pattern but also an additional 50% of the time.

Alright, that much is fair. Luck is always a factor, I'll concede to that. However, that is only when luck is involved.

>Second of all, this doesn't account for skill growth. If someone wins 1/10 games in the first 1000 games and then wins 14/15 for the next 1500 games they are better in the end than someone who would have a winrate of 75% but only played one game.

So 1000 losses? Holy fuck, no amount of gitting gud can save that retard at that point. Please tell me that's a hypothetical.

>Lastly you're implicitly admitting in the paragraph that you're fine with failure if it's not done in a way that "shows weakness"/leaves a lasting impact on the save file.

I'll admit, that is a grey area. If only you know that you lost, I guess you could take it to your grave. However, anyone with morals would know that what they're doing is wrong, and the resulting cognitive dissonance could be a form of self-defeat.

>That would imply someone who uses a crutch to speed up 4/10 bosses but otherwise breezes through the game is somehow worse than someone who struggles and chokes every step of the way but through many checkpoint reloads manages to beat the game without using the crutch.

Yeah, that's definitely a grey area I did not account for. I thank you for giving me these situations to consider, and hereby concede to this.

>>16869072

>most games don't really require one, except for really obscure 90's DOS games.

So you used a walkthrough and I can disregard your entire arguments on the same ground you're trying to use against me? Cool, but I won't do that. It wouldn't sit right with me to get lazy and resort to one-line shutdowns that give the same result of your humiliation and turning into a lolcow.

>I can be in one thread and have a different ID for each post because this website is coded like shit.

And yet you currently have a (2) and mine is perfectly stable. Right, sounds legit, no bullshit here.

>Of course, this was just an example and my real target was "difficulty modes," such as playing on easy.

So you wasted time with a red herring? My god, it's like you WANT me to just post all of your distractions, laugh, and watch as you struggle to be taken seriously.

>My point is that you cannot undo a walkthrough.

And you can't undo a playthrough.

>No matter how many times you replay a game with a self-imposing challenge or an increase in difficulty, the effects of a walkthrough are permanent.

So like playing on easy, then boosting the difficulty.

>You will never again NOT know what the solution is, therefore you will NEVER solve that part of the game yourself. It's a permanent loss on your end.

I hate to repeat myself three times, so I'll stick to "man you sure sound like you've never had a single loss marked on any of your games before, totally adds up with your being defensive over what defines a casual."

>At least the player figured out the solution on his own.

After getting his hand held? Nah, it's invalidated.

>If the solution is not any harder on higher difficulties, then they wouldn't have any trouble figuring out the solution then would they?

I mean, in the same way that a Special Olympics gold medalist could win a gold medal at the actual Olympics, sure.

>At this point I don't know if you're actually this retarded or if you're from J/v/

Yawn.

I keep re-reading this but I just don't get it. What is your "proof" that he is a casual and how did you get it? Are you stalking him? How are you guys friends? Why does it bother you so much? What is removing him from videogames supposed to accomplish? Couldn't you just make new friends, or at least stop spending time with him?
