@GnomeSlice The clips of Sonic kissing the princess? Yes. Without watching them, yes. Sonic 06 is... very strange
From what I've read, there is evidence the game was built and restarted from basically the ground up multiple times. It still had an extremely short dev cycle. Those devs were put through hell, basically
In slither.io, there are these little moving balls that glow. If you eat them, you grow more than just eating a regular food pellet. One thing about them that's kinda weird, is that if you move toward them they will dodge you.
For reference, here are some screenshots of them.

I've been playing without worrying much/at all about winning/losing the whole game, just focusing on trying to play well moment to moment, and that's made it a lot better.
You're very rarely personally in control of whether your team is ahead or not.
@twobugs I don't know anything about Titanfall, but in a lot of games even if you do really well personally, but aren't playing as a team player, you can doom your team to a loss.
I guess the idea is that, even if you do all of the objectives for your team alone, but your team loses, you still lost the game and shouldn't be rewarded for that.
@twobugs I think that it's really frustrating to lose because you way outskill your teammates, but I don't think that rewarding you for doing well on a losing team is a good solution because it compromises on the main point of a competitive game, which is winning.
So I agree that it sucks, and that the games/systems you've mentioned might be less frustrating, but I don't think that they are ranking you on what actually matters in that case then.
@twobugs In theory, then, players who focus on objectives should win more games than they lose, because they weight the scales in their own favor by being on the team they're on.
@twobugs If the opponents contest you, but assuming the opponents are the same skill levels as your teammates, they won't contest you more often than they do.
@twobugs Because the point of a competitive game is to win. No matter what you do in game, if you lose, you have failed at your main goal in the game, and should not be rewarded.
But in a competitive game good players will rise past that and play with people who know what they're doing, assuming that there is even reasonably competent matchmaking.
I'm currently thinking about starting over and hanging around SL20 for some Jolly Cooperation around the Undead Parish. I'm too high level to help put anywhere on my main file.
So from a player experience perspective, I actually 100% agree with you.
Losing a game that you did amazingly well in is frustrating and makes you not want to even play anymore, and having personal progression to counteract that will keep you playing and having more fun.
I'm playing love live game mostly for the management and the story. Is there a way to turn off the horrendous music mini-game that's forced on you all the time? Is there a version without it?
But I feel like nowadays there are so many weapons and so many attachments and caveats to how everything works that it can be harder to be effective just starting out
Like starting in Blops3 I have no clue what guns are good out of the 20+ guns, I probably can't even unlock some of the better ones, no clue what attachments are good, etc.
It's balanced by the fact that Blops3 time to kill is basically 0, so essentially anyone can kill anyone if they get the drop
@twobugs assuming the game is more skill based than knowledge based (knowing weapons and weaknesses and situational awareness etc), I generally tend to be pretty good starting out, but I don't get much better as I progress
@twobugs that's probably one of the reasons why I switch games so much
I feel good about myself when I start a new game, because I feel adequate in relation to how I have played. If I play for a long time and I see other people getting much better than I do, it's demotivating
I'm doing a paper about how video games and I am wondering how most companies keep there players. Yes i know that they give out new things but most of the time people don't care about that and I don't have a good answer for this question.
@Fluttershy I'm just saying that's a really useful skill for Dark Souls. I've only recently gotten the timings somewhat reliably and the Knight enemies are cake when you know how to parry.
I oneshot Silver Knights with the riposte on my Claymore.

In previous Souls games, there is usually at least 1 vendor in the hub area. Is there one in Dark Souls 3?
