In any adversarial game mode, your objective is to win.

Most people try to make winning as easy as possible by streamlining their character.

Is this really difficult for you to comprehend?

Games with actual min maxing gets rid of the fun in games, when I want to compete I'll play a fighting or racing game.

Winning with the most optimal set up is boring though, many people do not use the most optimum things or follow the "meta" so strictly, preferring instead to experiment and flex the limits of the game. These people, who are already good enough to follow the standard meta fully but forgo it, are often the ones that discover what in the future becomes the new meta. People see their crazy gimmicky shit doing so well and emulate, and suddenly the gimmicky shit is what all the people who only care about winning copy.

Any game with builds as a potential modifier to win/lose conditions is basically competitve garbage. Don't worry OP, you're playing with people that can't hack it in actual PvP games, but you're still scrub-a-dub.

I remember when Torchlight 2 first came out me and my friends co-oped through the whole game on release week. We all played it for the very first time together and chose different classes. Right when we spawned, one friends first instinct was to study our abilities and talents and shit. Everybody else's instinct was to FUCKING GO LETS FUCK SHIT UP FIGURE IT OUT LATER. We only.learned shit on the fly or during inventory management. It was fast paced and fun, since learning was incorporated into progression. This fucking autist though, he always insisted on staying in like one fucki g spot for 15 minutes at a time all throughout the campaign even when we took like half hour breaks to get food and the like. And his autism was so strong that he said "wait up for me guys I have something to do real quick" so we said alright sure whatever.

We started to talk and kinda forgot about moving through the game for a bit. Literally a fucking hour later we remembered we had a game to play, and turned to friend C to find out what the fuck up. It turned out that motherfucker was going back through all of the fucking map to 100% explore every inch of the maps we've been through after we agreed as long as we get the quests and dungeons we're not gonna waste our time. This motherfucker wasted all of our time because he wanted those maps 100% revealed. Not exactly like your situation but still a 'friend C' type thing to do.

DONT BE THAT FUCKING GUY, /v/.

>>336392995
It's their way of having fun: being strong and better at the game than other people. They are just playing according to the rules of the game, no more no less.
My personal way of having fun is being a contrarian hipster and optimizing unviable trash to the max, and then either taking great pride in winning against said tryhard optimizers or going full "w-well my build is just unconventional h-haha" if I lose.
People like different things, also the sky is blue.

Actually he fucking sucks at pretty much every game he touches, he only manages to get by when he uses guides or wikis. We can only play co-op games with him, because if we play multiplayer games against him we stomp his ass so hard he flies into a rage and starts breaking shit.

It's his tryhard/perfectionist attitude in every single fucking thing we've ever done as friends that drives us all up the wall. I blame him being a spoiled only child. I don't understand how a grown ass man can still act like he does.

>>336400225
Funny you mention that

When we play D&D we use pathfinder rules because none of us really know how to play, and we're trying to learn so we can ease into the big boy stuff

This fucking nigger strolls up with a character he made using D&D 4.0 rules so every time he takes a turn it takes an extra ten minutes for him to do all of his bullshit, we just stopped playing because we couldn't deal with it anymore

There's nothing wrong with min/maxing, wouldn't you want to be as effective as you can be? But then you also got raging faggots who can't remove their mouth from the meta's dick and insist you have to play THIS way.
Like fucking hell these same assholes somehow permeate co-op games against NPCs, it's ridiculous and just saps all the fun out of the games. Especially when things don't go their way.

I bet C is also the guy who invites you to play MMOs but then;
>doesn't make a new character to play with you and wants to boost you straight to end game as possible
>makes a new character to play with you, with the same intention of getting you as fast to end game as possible
>doesn't make a new character and just dumps you to play on your own, despite begging for you to play with them

Pick one, two or three it's all C.

Like I just started, I haven't even touched anything in the menus and the motherfucker drags me into fucking Deathwish, then rages at me for dying so easily and ragequits hosting when I get jailed. I removed that cunt, had enough of his shit that day, almost ruined the entire game for me.
