How?

>Bad news, guys: it turns out we’re all pretty bad at something…
Study design does not support this conclusion.
>>319294459
Wait a minute, that card...
> Alaska
> Skyrim
Don't they literally live in Skyrim?
>>319294783
They don't look for cheats, they look for livehacks
>>319294459
>Mario kart ds
>Super Mario Galaxy 2
Why do we even own that many Wii Us?
>>319294661
This is what I want to know.
I want to see the data - how many people actually searched "Journey Cheats" or "Walkthroughs"?
>>319294695
Yeah, unless literally nobody ever searched for cheats in a state, all states will be on the list.
>Journey
>>319294459
>all these shitty modern games
>washington st sucks at Bioshock inf.
I'm pretty sure the game just sucks compared to the original and people stopped playing it.
game sucks not the playas nigga
>bamham
Well okay, I guess?Maybe they were looking for cheats to make it not run like a piece of shit
>>319294459
>sucking at the sims
JUST
>>319294912
Dude, I live in NJ and we used to play that shit in school with eachother all day.
I remember in 5th grade my whole class played together on the last day of school and I kept winning so people started playing pokemon instead.
>>319295190
They probably looked for cheats to make the game more fun.

Does it shock nobody that only california is playing indie shit?

>NBA2K13
>It's 100% accurate
You yankees have no idea how good you have it. You will never know the struggle of living with 50% of the population not being able to properly play a game made for neanderthals.
>Journey
WHAT?
I actually laughed at this
>>319294459

I'm from Florida and I beat Journey on day one without any walk through assistance, does this make me some sort of UberFloridian?
>>319295647
it makes me think that Florida only has one game and it's Journey
>Sims 2
I thought this was an old picture at first. What is wrong with my state?
>>319295513
>Bastion
>shit
It was a solid 7/10
that's pretty shit data. mario kart and mario galaxy prove they just took the biggest entries without looking at the date, which goes in favor of wii games for obvious reason.
Make that shart again with only games starting 2014 and we'll talk
How exactly does one filter google searches to find what games people suck at?
"I suck at [game]"?
"How do I ____ in [game]"?
>>319295035
Galaxy 2 is a Wii game, not Wii U.
>>319295978
[game] walkthrough
[game] achievement guide
etc.
Not that difficult
>>319295035
that game was on wii dude, one of the best selling consoles of all time. this data is from the last ten years.
>>319294459
>searching for cheats for GTA means you suck
What a stupid implication.
>God of War
that, however, is pretty cringy.
>>319295978
Well first they googled, "How do I suck at making a chart?" and then they googled, "How do read data and what can I do to ignore what's actually relevant to my topic?"
bam... shitty chart.
How can Viginia be bad at Fifa? We've got so many Mexicans here...
>>319294783
I live in Alaska, worked in a few highschools around the state when Skyrim first came out, can confirm that there were a lot of autists talking about secrets they searched up on the internet. Not even kidding.

Fucking what? The only thing remotely difficult are those optional arena fights, and only then with all idols invoked.

Nice survey mate
>>319295858
7/10 is shit in the game score department
but i'm saying that every other state is either Besthesda or EA or Nintendo, etc... california is the lone exception.
>>319294459
>mfw Texas fell for le Todd meme
>>319296525
We hunt, drink, smoke weed, and play video games. All we got man.

>>319294912
They wanted to snake
>Americans still under the impression anyone gives a shit
>>319296581
that makes no sense though, there aren't any cheats or walkthroughs for journey
are there?
>>319296565
rude
maybe we just like it more
>>319294459
I'm from Georgia, and jesus did I get my shit kicked in whenever I touched GTA Online
Love that shit tho.
I've never even played Fifa though.
I'm actually surprised that within the span of time it's been out, Fallout 4 has amassed more guide/cheat searches than any other game in Texas in 10 whole years, and it's the only fallout game on the entire chart.
How can you possibly suck at Bastion?
>Mississippi
>NBA2K13
kek
>>319294882
10/10
I knew everyone in Florida were absolute retards but I didn't think they were retarded enough to look up a guide for fucking journey
>>319296675
Google it and find out.You fucking floridian.
>>319296675
What doesn't make any sense there? Google Trends is monitoring the frequency of certain search queries.
>>319294459
>San andreas
Fuck you, asshat. Cheats in that game were for fun
>>319296565
Dakotas in general are backwards as fuck. Guitar Hero AND San Andreas. Oh Montana has Oblivion.. what an ass backwards part of the country.
I was disappointed at Super Mario Galaxy at first, then I saw the other states and I'd much rather have Super Mario Galaxy.
>>319294459
>Home state of Washington sucks at Bioshock: Infinite
Makes sense, it has the hardest puzzle known to man.
>>319296860
I miss when cheat codes were in page 90 of some magazine instead of 2.99 DLC.

>>319296937
Stop telling people how nice it is here you idiot
>>319294459
Dakota stupid as always
San Andreas is 11 years old
11 years, dont they play modern games anymore and whats with the Resident Evil 4 state ?
>>319295513
I found it hilarious, why is one of your states searching cheats up for Fifa 10? Is football really popular there or something?
>>319296998
PS3 game, paid for by Sony.
not true indie.
>>319297089
Fifa is popular with the beaners America has aquired.
>God of War
I'm not surprised, even my redneck cousin and normie friends loved god of war.
>>319296861
I've lived in Montana and North Dakota. Montana is beautiful, a really nice state. ND is a literal shit hole not even fit to drive through.
>>319294459
Someone needs to do this for Europe now, I'm curious
The entire premise is shit.
Searching for information about a game doesn't mean you suck at it.
I beat games, then do a replay where I look up all the shit I may have missed, all the time.
>>319297171
I didn't realise they'd made it so far up the eastern seaboard
>>319297086
>dont they play modern games anymore
No, we're not particularly fond of shoving our faces in shit
>>319295421
Maximum underate
What's with the cluster of Sims 2 games in those north eastern states? Why Sims 2 and not 3? Why three states so lose together? I don't understand.
>>319294459
Beeing bad at journey....
>>319294459
>Bloodborne
Better that than Mario
>>319297264
yeah no shit. they go as far as the canadain border and stop.
I live in washington and my town is about 50% mexican. not really a bad thing honestly, they pray for geebus and play fifa instead protesting beaner lives matters.
>>319297089
FIFA has a huge following in VA, everybody buys it.
>>319297278
Liar. You spend all day out in the pasture trying to find cow pies to faceplant in.
>>319297325
from my completely subjective experience, sims 2 was way more popular than sims 3
someone do this stupid shit with europa and asian
CS and Starcraft abundance in Russia and China 100%
>>319296937
Wow, you score well in all those charts because your states are so under populated compared to every other state.
>>319294459
Mississippi and an NBA sim.
>>319297510
>underpopulated
is that a bad thing to not live in a sea of people that is any metropolitan on earth?
I searched FL and just used the word walkthrough and this is the result I got. If anything FL just sucks at Pokemon.
>>319297482
The entire rest of the world would literally just be LoL/DotA, FIFA, StarCraft 2, World of Tanks, and CSGO. Because they can't afford to play anything else.
>Rock Band 2
What, seriously? Cheats?
I can see tips on how to 5 star hard ass songs. But cheats? Nah.
>>319297470
Maybe to core gamers. But The Sims franchise is the epitome of normie games. And Normies always want the newest games. They don't play San Andreas or CoD 4 when they have access to the never games.
>>319297693
>when they have access to the never games.
That explains the success of the PS4.
>>319297510
>I don't know how per capita works
>>319297693
not even that though. fucking everyone I knew played sims 2 yet only a handful of people bothered with sims 3. sims 2 was a right place right time thing
>FIFA 10 for Virginia
>Forza for North Carolina
>Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island for the Sims 2
>Bastion for California
>Journey for Florida
>Oregon, Wisconsin, and Minnesota for Super Mario Galaxy

you call me poor faggot ?

>>319294459
this makes no sense for a simple reason
just because someone looks up cheats or walkthroughs for a game doesn't deductively mean they are bad at the game
>>319294459
>bad at the sims
>>319294459

What the actual fuck? Isn't just a walking/gliding simulator?
>>319298032

ELEMAYOH
>>319297693
No, Sims 2 was a game that hit way outside of normal gaming demographics, it's like the Wii, you had everyone from little boys to housewives playing it, but like the Wii lightning only struck once
>GTA, skyrim, bioshock shitfinite and god of war on there multiple times
>Oblivion on there
>Journey on there
>>319298158
everyone cheated money into the sims
>>319294459
one thing you need to clarify
they say the most popular games over the last 11 years
does that mean they looked at search results over the last 11 years, or just search results recently for the most popular games of the last 11 years?
that would explain things like sims 2 and oblivion and san andreas
>>319294459
>Montana
>Oblivion
But I racked up over 500 hours and earned every achievementon vanilla.
>>319294459
>Implying people look up cheats for GTA because they're bad at the game
>>319298341
I highly doubt anyone would keep track of something as banal and useless as this for 11 damn years

god damn I'm about to run out of huckleberry honey
>>319296483

Would love to see europe version of this too.

man my state is top pleb
>>319298670
man Google is never gonna become a top tier botnet if they keep wasting resources on pointless info like this

If you say you live in VA and don't know at least two people that buy FIFA then I'm calling you a liar.
>>319296054
>>319296150
Shows how much I played Mario games, my bad.
>>319299143
I used to work with people who bought FIFA so yeah I know Virginians buy that shit. I just don't see how you could suck at it.
>>319299280
Because as you certainly know, most people in VA are fucking awful at video games.
>Georgia
>GTA
Can confirm
>>319297086
I don't play gta and I love in South Dakota, I hate that shit. I am playing witcher 3 atm
>>319299859
west or east river
>>319299442
I wonder why that is. I normally don't play games with my friends so I honestly wouldn't know. my group is pretty good and we have an OK group of fighting game fans in NOVA.
>>319300435
No clue. I also used to have a group of people to play fightan with, years ago. It's probably the only thing I miss about socializing.
Besides shit like Bioshock Infinite, where cheats don't exist and walkthroughs are unnecessary, how does this have to do with sucking?
For Mario Galaxy many want to look up unlock requirements for stuff / hidden locations of items.
For Skyrim, Fallout, Borderlands, and Batman people are obviously trying to look up locations of map data so finding hidden shit in the world isn't so god damn tedious
GTA, people are quite literally just looking up cheats for cheats.
What a terrible data list.

>>319294459
How does one suck at Journey? I mean I enjoyed it a lot for what it was, but you literally can't lose. The most that happens is you get your scarf ripped up at two points in the game. Otherwise literally just hold forward until you reach the ending.
