Get good and stop using platforms designed around drooling retards.

You mean, don't be a console 'tard?

Only one game that I can think of had genuine cross platform play without nerfing the crap out of PC players. Shadowrun (2007). I can't remember a time when a Console 'Tard ever beat the most inept of PC players in the match score.

The most inept clown with a mouse and keyboard could spank the most idiot-savant console 'tard with a controller.

A better question: Why in the world would PC Gamers want to let Console 'Tards vomit stupid all over our PVP matches? They will just lose and then whine endlessly about 'hax' or something similar.

On an even playing field maybe, but in the wild it's been a pretty heavy trend lately that cross platform shooters will give the controllers such heavy aim assist that it's basically a 20 degree cone aimbot. It gets to the point that a lot of mediocre PC players in those games will chose to plug in a controller for that sweet dev sanctioned hax over a M&KB

Same reason we "let" room-temperature IQ foreigners vomit stupid all over our western society. We aren't given a choice. Or at least, one you aren't allowed to discuss in public.

the studios do that, given how most aaa games suck now and player base quickly dwindles within just a year, having crossplays means the game gets to live another year or two. battlefield 6 had great launch and current players already dropped to less than 1/10 peak players after only 5 months

I say that I’m better with a controller than anyone on mouse and keyboard. It’s not true but I still say it.

How about not playing phone games like a retard?

This concept isn't novel at all.

Arcade Machines for Mortal Kombat were notorious for their input reading to the point where repeated forward jump kick would lock AI into jumping back and repeatedly take damage midair.

Original NFS: Most Wanted has the infamous Rubberband Earl. Probably many more racing game examples where NPC opponents are anchored to your car coordinates and simply go as fast as you do regardless how well you cut corners.

SF Alpha 3 Shin Bison will instantly Super you for 90% hp as soon as you jump

Elden Ring input reading is so daft that some oponnents dodge INTO your arrow shot if you aim at their side.

And then there's Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid which sort of made sense considering he was psychic.

Sure, but let's not pretend this isn't about Soyny installing spyware to collect data on you for the dubious benefit of retards who think they're gamers because they consume mobile slop.

Rubber banding in racing games is a sign of how well the game is made. If devs are good, you will hardly notice the ai sneaking up on you. If the devs are retards, you will get pissed. Most egregious rubber banging my ass was in nfsu2 because of fps issues and in fh5.

NFL blitz cheated constantly. You'd get clear of the opponent's defensive line and there was always a magical defender placed downfield who was twice as fast as your runner.

This sounds like being banned for being modded is going to start happening in error again.

Shit like this is why I stopped playing competitive multiplayer after Halo 3. Single player or co-op only for me now.

So basically if i'm a high skill player, (((Sony))) will magically give me conslow retards for teammates?

you know, i kinda had that feeling the last few weeks on helldivers 2 that they acutally implamented some sort of skill gap thing

which forced me to bump the difficulty to 10 (super helldive) which turns out to be a lot easier since i only get competent PC players instead of console cattle who afk kill random mobs instead of doing objectives

This happens. I used to love playing Battlefield, but then I started noticing that I would almost always get put on teams with retards. Thankfully, there's a feature to switch teams. But the game would put me back on the retard team on the next round. Battlefield absolutely "balances" by picking winners and losers based on "team balance." It's fucked up and I couldn't enjoy the game after realizing it.

I was ranked in the Global Top 300 on BF3, too. First thing I would do when the round started would be to switch teams if possible.

The technology would monitor

a) https://my-hebrew-dictionary.com/monitor.php aka the jewish overseer (monitor) and instructor (talmud) of gentiles.

b) Technology aka tekhnē (artifice) + logy (circular thinking aka logic).

Better start making more sense dude. With no downvotes, the tolerance for psycho posting is lower
