arena FPS is the literal definition of memorization and repetition. all you do is memorize angles for rail snipes and powerup spawns/locations.

Words words words words words

Nah if you play most RTS games without an overall strategy you'll lose no matter how fast you can click

CS is the least casual non-arena shooter

No. Just because you inflated your head with FPS facts doesn't make you better than any other gamer, especially since FPS boys only acknowledge like two games in their niche. Even stubborn Melee players gave Ultimate and Rivals of Ather a shot.

Honorary genres are TBS, RTS, and MOBA.
Anything else is mindless distractions that even a trained chim can play, if you want to test physical skill play a damn sport.

Problem is that arena FPS games are fucking dead. The only one currently populated has been fucking abandoned by the devs and will probably never see an update again. It will be completely dead within the next year or so. The problem with the genre that no one wants to admit is that the formula was tired, and that people were actually growing quite sick of it all those years ago. The genre never moved forward, instead it just kept copying itself until no one cared. All of these "revival" games that keep popping up recently always die because they do the same thing. They basically just copy Quake, which people were already sick of, and then call it a day. Unless someone can find a way to move the genre forward in an interesting way it will always be dead.

It's perfectly accurate. Zoomer retards need not apply. Arena shooters are the peak of competition.

No, that's just the flawless understanding of maps and mechanics part.

So, a game that isn't hard but is full of pointless shitty complexity and tedium?

You child-raping christians would have better arguments if you actually played DF long enough to realize it's bad.

There's no way any FPS is as hard as strategy games, especially the ones that require insane amounts of APM

he's right you retards, if fornite had console commands you could have a first person view and it would still pretty much be the same game

you've never played Quake

It's not even close. A single RTS game can be 30-60 minutes long. Doing that with consistently high APM is way harder. In pro leagues that means you could play best of 5s or even 7s, so that's 5-7 potentially long games.

you are all wrong

Lmoa at your existence

All bullshit aside, skill can be separated into quantifiable and unquantifiable categories.

If it's in the quantifiable category, is can hit a ceiling and therefore no longer matter at the top-level. If your game doesn't have any unquantifiable skill categories, then it is essentially "solved".

Quantifiable:
- Reaction time/input speed (has both a technical limit (autoaim) and physical limit)
- Rhythm (inputing combos)
- Metagame/set-ups/linear strategy (essentially devolves into randomness)
- Management
- Any type of random event

Unquantifiable
- Teamwork
- Endurance
- Adaptability

Game genres I like: for big brained, clever men with refined taste and large, powerful genitals. Refined leisure activities for muscular and discerning gents.
Game genres I don't like: for pea-brained, small willy boys with dirty bums and mouths stained with rancid butter. Larks for drooling simpletons who holler and gawk at car crashes.

Just to give people an idea how hard Brood War is for example, the fastest attack you can do with mutas is to m + left click on the target you want to attack and then a + left click on the same target, then because you're getting too close to your target you need to right click away. That's essentially 5 commands to do one attack and to do it successful attack you need to repeat those 5 commands several times. If you screw up any of this you will lose several mutas to the marines

Congratulations, I can train this "skill" literally on my desktop wallpaper.
>tfw people think clicking rhythmically is a skill

do you guys think one person makes all the quake and arena fps threads. Is it the same person that still gets anguished over Halo? I mean it seems plausible considering how few people give a shit about Quake anymore. QC is a fucking mockery of the genre.

Probably. I kinda get why though, when it's the casual crap that always succeeds it gets tiresome

Arena FPS, Fighting games, and RTS games all share a similar issue actually. Casuals do not want a game that directly puts their skill to the test. The satisfaction of these genres is derived from the intrinsic value of improving your skills. You have to be a special kind of person (in a good way) to play a game solely for that reason.

Other games that hang outside these genres (Mobas, FPS titles, BRs, the newly budding auto chesslikes, etc) all have ways to reward players extrinsically AND obscure the true measurement of skill to protect egos. I could get in depth about it but I'm sure someone else has written something better at one point, you get the idea.

This is delusion to a highest degree.

Nobody wants to play "Arena FPS, Fighting games, and RTS games", because they offer a payload of information that one has to digest while not improving their actual skills whatsoever, only to find a relatively shallow and simplistic game at the end.
I love the tidbit about "protecting egos" though, as these genres are the prime examples of people thinking they're "good" because they think just understanding the basics in a meaningful skill.

FIGHTING GAMES offer a payload of information? Are we playing the same games? Is that why SF2 sold 8 million copies on the SNES? What the FUCK is complex about pickup gun and shoot enemy in Quake? You are the king of idiot mountain right now.

>FIGHTING GAMES offer a payload of information?
Either you are actually braindead, or actually no, you are braindead.
Everybody knows that fighting games is months of learning every move, every set-up and every strategy, until you're mashing the same buttons every game and think "mix ups" isn't slang for "rock paper scissors".

>What the FUCK is complex about pickup gun and shoot enemy in Quake?
Why are you completely omitting bunnyhopping, item management and spawn management?
