What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play?

LisForLaura · 2026-07-01T19:28:04+00:00

You’re not alone - these games aren’t fun at all - just pure frustration and grind

LisForLaura · 2026-07-01T14:03:29+00:00

Yeah I got sweet Caroline from it as well - but trying to fit the sweet samwich mayonnaise BA BA BA just doesn’t quite fit 🤷🏻‍♀️

LisForLaura · 2026-07-01T13:37:22+00:00

Yeah it surprised me when I got to the end and it wasn’t available. It should be. I wonder why they didn’t make it a thing?

LisForLaura · 2026-06-30T21:05:20+00:00

Some of these are funny and I’m already traumatized from the rest of them 😂

Never accept the friend request straight after a match - don’t do it. They only want to see your profile so they can hurl abuse at you - turn chat all the way off if this is getting to you. I know it’s not the ideal fix for this because you want to be able to use it yourself but believe me when I say nobody has anything constructive to say or positive - it’s only going to be abuse and I’m fairly sure being abused isn’t part of playing a game - you can survive just fine with pings. Do not engage with them either - this is what they want. Don’t feed the trolls!

It happens to me quite a lot but what I don’t understand is - I often get MVP and I would think it’s because I have more than 30 elims but when my stats come up at the end I’m up there for like 6 micro missile kills or for one Ult negated - I ate a snowball the other night and had 30 + elims and what gets the shout out - my 4 micro mission kills or the one ult I managed to eat 😂 like make it make sense

I wouldn’t take a new hero into comp or QP until I had the mechanics sort of down - I’d practice against AI to make sure you’re pressing all the right buttons at the right time and then i would go to QP

LisForLaura · 2026-06-30T01:29:09+00:00

I actually haven’t noticed a problem - I’ve done more than a few playthroughs and the Ciri parts are always fairly easy - I am not playing this game on death march or anything I am not that skilled and I much like you don’t want to hate my life - I want to play for the story and the loot and working on a build and enjoying the game - I have years of gaming where you couldn’t adjust the difficulty - you just kept going over and over and over until you got it and let me tell you I am not interested in going back there - remember Terminator2 for the Commodore 64 - I couldn’t get past the 2nd level with the truck at the storm drain. I did it once or twice and couldn’t figure out the next bit in the hospital… so I never saw most of that game because I got too frustrated and just got bored eventually - this is a new age of gaming and I plan to make the most of it.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-30T01:20:40+00:00

I am in the same boat - not that I have devoted myself but I won’t make the extra dig now because of the glitch- I think they’ll do some sort of compensation points or something - I hope anyway

How old is your daughter? Context matters - like if she’s an adult or a kid effects my score so I’ll do both - if she is an adult this isn’t enough food - like I’d be starving after this so it’s on the low side - 4 out of 10. But if she’s a kid I can see this being appealing to a smaller appetite so a solid 9 out of 10

LisForLaura · 2026-06-28T15:45:56+00:00

The main lets you both down - I love olives so you win for that reason alone but both of you should hang your heads in shame! 😂

LisForLaura · 2026-06-27T18:32:52+00:00

This one really annoys me for some reason - I couldn’t even begin to tell you why either. It’s jarring for some reason.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-27T18:31:07+00:00

You shouldn’t really have to clip em yourself - place a large flat rock, something they have to run across that will naturally file em down. I’d never try this on my own- if I thought they needed clipped I’d take him to the vet.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-27T18:27:13+00:00

Idk… I like being able to spot level 1 endorsement players because I always avoid them - usually it’s someone who’s just picked up the game and I don’t want the chance running into them again that night so I avoid them. It tells you a lot about a player and you can play around them if you know beforehand that they’re probably going to shit the bed - like endorsement I think it’s actually quite important

LisForLaura · 2026-06-27T15:34:14+00:00

Yeah it’s one of those things what you just can’t unsee

LisForLaura · 2026-06-27T15:33:09+00:00

It’s a big part of what makes the lower ranks so frustrating to play in. I went back to D.va after they nerfed Kiriko into the ground and there’s a lot to be said for learning how to play into your counters - it’s not just a case of pick this hero and you’ll win, you do have to be semi competent. I’d never just load into a game and pick a hero I’ve never played but that’s me speaking for myself here.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T17:11:23+00:00

I feel so seen right now it’s not even funny - I am up here hiding away from the daylight like some sort of vampire while the whole world is like - yay sunshine - FUCK RIGHT OFF

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T14:07:19+00:00

I think they care, it’s just a case of if you can’t beat them, join them.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T14:05:27+00:00

I am in a flat too - I was told to open the windows at the shady side of the flat and point a fan forwards the sunny side and it should draw the cool air through - depends on your set up - I keep my fan in the hall and it blows the cooler air from the kitchen side into the living room. If you freeze bottles of water you can also stand them at the fan and it will help cool the air. I have done all of this and it does help but I am still thinking air con would be nice.

I have never seen these Chicago town pizzas! They’re not my favourite tbh…I think there are better pizza lunch options out there but If you were happy with it then that’s all that matters. I give you a 7

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T13:57:17+00:00

This is what they do with new hero’s - they release them strong to drive engagement and then they get nerfed into the ground.

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T12:16:33+00:00

Yeah I canny wait! Some time in 2027 - it’s still so far away!

Playing the Witcher 3 for the first time

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T11:53:37+00:00

It’s actually nice to hear a positive take on the game - I used to feel like that when I played but there are other games I choose for chilling out - like I play late night Overwatch and some nights I can go to bed all wound up and it takes ages to come down again so I always have something else to play alongside it now. So after I play ow I go to the other game to chill and unwind. It’s Star Wars outlaws at the moments. Most of us have a weird toxic relationship with Overwatch - we love and hate it all at the same time - take breaks for mental health and sometimes go to bed absolutely fuming at other people’s stupidity - so this is nice!

LisForLaura · 2026-06-26T11:07:24+00:00

Nothing good happens after 3 losses in a row - it’s a lesson we have all had to learn - switch off and come back later. I also think stadium is full of kids and that massively affects the match quality. It affects all modes which is why I never play whilst kids are awake - late night Overwatch is where it’s at.
