I only get upset when bad RNG is involved.

The most popular modes are team based despite most of the annoying happenings coming from your own team.
No one moves to solo/free for all type modes where you're independently responsible for your entire experience.

What's the difference between good RNG & bad RNG?
>>
>>344589551
XCOM E.U apparently thinks a 25% chance is higher than a 65%

You won't believe how mad i got in the past 24 hours.
>>
I think its because when shit goes badly it feels like a waste of my time. Especially online games, if I get a shitty teammate with a bad attitude.

That's the risk of playing online games though so that's on me. Still pisses me off. I also hate all the fuckin foreigners with mud-hut internet connections and don't speak a lick of english. Fuck off with your horse-hair ethernet cables you should all be euthanized.

Basicaly good RNG is made to never end up fucking you in the ass for 100 times in a row.

Many games seem to be using random.org to land hit and stuff

Video games killed my family.

>>344589497

It's not video games that make me angry, it's the fucking people that play it. It's invested with juvenile and vile children who have no respect for others. I constantly get harassed when I kill someone in a game. One time, the kid used my gamertag to find my real name and my dating profile. I'm 5'8" (which is the average height) and he sent a barrage of lol short jokes to me non-stop for months. He'd even make fake female dating profiles, message me on the dating site, play along, then when I muster up the courage to ask the lady out, he'd say no, you're too short.

Something has to be done about this.

They don't anymore since I mostly stopped playing competitive online games.
>>
>>344589497

I want them to be good like how I remembered videogames, but it never happens. They keep putting skill trees into my singleplayer, TDM only, hunter mode only, X++ HD multiplayer mode only, guns locked for multiplayer only, fucking cutscenes out the ass everywhere, and I have to follow a terribly written story if I want to play and

After playing a shitty new game, I go here to vent, and that makes me fill others with rage, so no one gets to have fun playing games.This is why I'm mad.

The last time I got remotely angry at any game was when I was almost done with my last Lost run in BoI:R and and died in the Chest.

It's the most unforgiving death and shows that the games RNG can be complete bullshit at times.

Overwatch has ruined my online group because I can't stand the game but they love it, so they can't fucking sit in a call at all without bringing it up every five fucking seconds

I played it during the beta and couldn't enjoy in the slightest, but everyone latched on and did nothing but spam overwatch memes in chat.

I'm fucking done with them, but now I have no group to play games with, which is what I'm used to

Fucking kill me
>>
Because I am fucking terrible and should probably just jump off a bridge because I've been playing games for like 20 years or more and fighting games for about a decade, and I'm still retarded and bad and can't do anything right or adapt or anything.
I fucking hate myself so much. I can't not get mad. I wish I could just get mad at games like a regular person but instead I just want to bash my head into a wall because I know it's all my fault.

Or you could be a reasonable friend and just not enjoy it, instead of distancing yourself from people because they like something and you don't.
How the fuck do people like you function in society? How does that make sense? You are literally a manbaby that is pissed off because your friends enjoy something you don't.

because you no longer have simple amusement from sensory stimulation and instead succumb to primal adult goal compulsions where everything is just a means to an end and failure is like wasted time without an award, so basically it's like a job

has to be something really hard or stupid (like checkpoint before a cutscene BEFORE boss) and i'll get angry if it needs too many tries

I don't think I ever got angry over a video game. I did had some kind of epilepsy-like crisis playing Rayman as a kid, but it never happened to me again.

For some reason Far cry 4 made me rage quit. I thought dark souls would help me with the rage, but when I'm at an end of a tedious fucking mission and get one shotted by some bullshit, I just quit. It's not a great game and it isn't worth it.

I don't get mad at games unless I lose progress or something.

So the only time RNG is good is when it benefits the player solely and makes the game easier, and if things start to go bad for you because of RNG, it's shit?

>>344589765
I can see an argument from a game design perspective that "good RNG" would be an RNG system that only has positive effects or no effects. Say, RNG could let a player land either a critical hit or a normal hit, but not miss entirely. The player can know the default results to expect, and occasionally they will get lucky and things will go better than expected. If the player ever loses, it's because their strat was shit and not because they got super unlucky and missed 12 times in a row.

Obviously, this breaks down in any sort of competitive scenario, though, where a good event for one player is a bad event for another.

Xcom: 90%+ misses far to often
Darkest Dungeon: Enemy Crits and status effects when you're at your worst
Now shaddap
>>
>>344597070
>XCOM
90%+ isn't 100%, there's still a 10% chance you'll miss. And of course, statistically speaking, you will usually hit. Same thing happens to enemies, they will have a 90% chance to hit you, but will also miss due to luck.
>Darkest Dungeon
You can also deliver crits and status effects on enemies when they are at their worse.

wasn't there a study about how nuXcom has the most accurate RNG in videogames? the 90% shots you miss are usually balanced out by 48% shots that land
