He's 28 and isn't obsessed with games like me but he's been playing since he was a kid like most people, I stayed with him for a month and watched him play various genre's after he got back from work:
>Constantly turns to look in the opposite direction when some cool, dynamic setpiece is happening >Skips all dialog and cutscenes >Complains that he can't rush through the game with one weapon, refuses to adapt or strategise >Complains when the game is too hard, complains when it's too easy, complains when change happens (new level gimmick etc.) >Refuses to play anything older than PS3 because of non standardised controls >If a game requires any mental effort beyond "jump here" or "mash attack" he just gives up
He's not an idiot, he makes six figures at his job and his job requires you to be at least somewhat intelligent and independent. The only excuse he can offer is "I work all day, games shouldn't be a job". I just don't understand such specific retardation, it's like he TRIES to be bad.
Sounds like he doesn't take games too seriously and you do. Grow up
Jordan Garcia
He's missing out on 90% of the enjoyment through sheer mental slothfullness
Ian Diaz
What games did he play?
James Davis
If you judge someone's intelligence by how good or interested they are in one thing then you're a retard. It's not that serious
Mason Edwards
But user didn't. He just called him out for being extremely lazy. He should just tell his cousin to play phone games instead if that's what he wants.
Hunter Miller
>works a full day >comes home >does a leisure activity to unwind >lazy
?
Thomas Green
Red Dead Redemption 2 Titanfall 2 The Evil Within 2 Deus Ex Mankind Divided Assassins Creed Oddysey Witcher 3
Ethan King
Damn, all those games suck. Maybe he should get better taste
Anthony Ramirez
Fpbp, they're games OP, entertainment, not super serious business.
Grayson Roberts
why are you posting this zoomer retard meme? are you underage? can you fuck off to reddit?
Jayden Bell
Sounds like he would love to post on Yea Forums
Nathaniel Gomez
nice anthropological research, OP
Henry Garcia
Like most casuals game aren't really a true hobby/pastime of his. They're more of a distraction, no different from watching a movie or TV series. There's nothing wrong about how he enjoys it, chances are hes just too mentally tuckered out to think and lacks the investment to care.
Easton Diaz
Why did you watch your cousin play for a whole month?
Christopher Gutierrez
Smart in one field dumb in the other? Something like that.
Brody Jones
I get that it's frustrating OP, but it's evident he doesn't give a shit in the slightest about video games as a medium. To him they exist strictly to fill downtime, and no amount of pestering can change that.
Anthony Allen
sounds like he should try mario games
Evan Wood
>"I work all day, games shouldn't be a job" Based and redpilled. This is why publishers make all their games as casual as possible by the way. Most people don't want to challenge themselves. Same is true in literature or movies, they watch or read the blandest shit out there. GTAV is a shit game but it's one of the most successful games of all time
John Jones
>DUDE I WORK I JUST WANT TO UNWIND AND TURN MY BRAIN OFF LMAO everybody works. if you're a retard in your free time, you're a retard at the office too.
>"I don't use my brain at work" Nothing to be proud of
Kevin Roberts
Fucking this. If I could, I would bring some sort of strategy video game every time I met with a new doctor and see how they do before I listen to their opinion.
Thomas Scott
Let's compare OP, maybe he is retarded and it's not just that he comes home from his job and doesn't want to think too much because he's tired.
What's your job and how do you feel about playing games when you get back home from your job?
Ryder Richardson
your average normalfag, nothing to see here most of my friends cant also play games... imagine being stuck in A Hat in Time tutorial like one of my friends
Nolan Johnson
Based and redpilled
John Roberts
You're a retard right now, I wonder what that says of your job
James Hall
>all these shitters defending the normalfag if videogames are part of your free time and you suck at them , might as well just watch the tv or Netflix
These games are trash. He needs help seeing what’s beyond AAA shitware.
But, user, it’s obvious what his issue is... ADD. Every single point you listed is an issue for people with ADD / ADHD.
Duh.
Noah Cooper
LMAO holy shit
"I may not be able to save someone's life but I'm really good at Crusader Kings 2"
Isaac Cook
My wife has (clinically diagnosed) ADHD and has no problem throwing herself against difficult games until she completes them. Not everyone plays games for the same reason, it's fine
Connor Lopez
I hate people like that. He is clearly not playing the right game, it's like he bought the most popular game then complains that it doesn't conform to his needs when all he wants to play is some mindless candy-crush or battle-royale game. Reminds me of all the bullshit a few weeks ago about Sekiro when clearly the game was not for them.
Joseph Flores
>I can't adapt to things I've never done before >But by the way, listen to me about your body, even though everyone is different. I definitely won't get you killed.
Anthony Jackson
Your wife watches the stories and reads dialog? If you’re saying yes, you’re a fucking liar.
Brody Allen
>Sekiro now that was a disappointment
Brayden Richardson
That's fair, but if they keep hitting a wall because they don't adapt, what does it matter for everyone else?
Austin Richardson
Being a wage slave sucks out your energy
Luis Jackson
you're right, the difference between one person and another person is pretty much as big as the difference between treating a person and playing crusader kings peak Yea Forums
Hunter Reed
>spongebob facebook meme >seething over his cousin making more than him >tries to make himself look cool by shitting on a family member to impress Yea Forums
your cousin sounds cool, you sound like a faggot OP
Brayden Rogers
Glad you agree.
Leo Ward
It matters because game companies listen to retards like this.
Sebastian Morris
I can vividly imagine how much of a shitter he is at DE:MD. Rushing through that game would yield only frustration and boredom, it only shines when you take it slower and explore.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Don't listen to this faggot If you arn't a no-lifer at video games you're fucking subhuman.
I guess he doesnt enjoy using his brain, but still wants to be challenged? What a contradictory person.
Parker Thompson
Oh what game was this again??
Gabriel Baker
>go to school for 8 years and then complete a residency of at least 3 years >"yea, but how good are you at Total War?"
Anthony King
Maybe he wants to be challenged to use his brain in specific ways.
Josiah Clark
Nice reading comprehension.
Joseph Stewart
You might want to tell your cousin to find another hobby. It seems like he's not getting anything out of Vidya, and is just wasting time instead of doing something he might find more fulfilling
