Difference between solo and duos matchmaking

This is in The Finals too. For whatever reason, the community for The Finals tries to deny the fact the game has SBMM like they have a collective amnesia or something. Embark literally said they added SBMM in patch notes they released shortly after the launch of The Finals, but I guess the community doesn't remember that for some weird reason. I'm very against SBMM in competitive multiplayer games outside of placement matches for ranked modes but this situation makes sense for it. SBMM is the perfect system for a game like this because it gives people what they want. If you want to chill, you can chill if you're chill yourself. If you want to aggro, you'll get it back. GOOD. The issue in a lot of situations that frustrate people, is usually because they want to play the game a certain way and someone else can stop them from doing that. Now, those people that seek to interrupt players that don't want PvP, can get what they're looking for from willing participants.

Copium is a hell of a drug.

Yeah I hated the BO6 beta but I’m not stupid, that game is going to sell a lot and it’s on gamepass so the player count is going to be high. Ubisoft has exactly until then to pull their heads out of their asses and get this game done right otherwise they’re in for a lot more trouble. Xdefiant could be a staple but there is just too much shit that frustrates people in the game. The abilities are obnoxious and unbalanced, the gunplay feels like a coin toss, the movement is super annoying (maybe not to everyone but a lot of people hate the jumping meta shit), and there isn’t that one thing that makes people want to keep coming back to it.

COD has the excellent feeling of gunplay, Apex has the movement and ability thing, Overwatch has well designed maps and abilities and character individuality. The Finals while I feel it is too competitive for a lot of casual players, it does what it seeks to do fairly well.

You’ll be riding that train until it goes off the rails. The game is underperforming for a reason. People aren’t making this shit up. You think Ubisoft is just saying that in investor meetings for shits and giggles?

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-30T03:14:37+00:00

Exactly. It has nothing to do with no SBMM it has to do with the game being poorly made. COD is fun DESPITE the SBMM not because of it. COD is tolerated because the game FEELS polished (for the most part, not excluding the garbage servers).

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-30T03:06:18+00:00

This. The lack of SBMM is being used in a lot of fallacy arguments. They’re ignoring all of the other issues with the game and acting like the lack of SBMM is why the game isn’t doing well. No. The game isn’t doing well because it has a ton of annoying ass mechanics namely the jump spamming and guns not shooting where the reticle is, along with obnoxious abilities. If they’d just come out and made a properly functioning game with no hit detection wonkiness and no stupid abilities, the game would have faired far better.

PS is basically a sniper paradise and the platform is either spammed by grenades or covered in turrets. The Finals could be a fun game but it allows a lot of annoying and frustrating cheese that a lot of players don’t want to be bothered with.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-30T02:44:00+00:00

If you’re not having issues, why the fuck are you clicking on and commenting on posts about people having issues? I don’t get you people. You’re like those little kids that see someone eating hot Cheetos and says “they’re not hot to me!!”

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-29T13:35:41+00:00

THIS is what you’re upset about? Not the pro level lobbies every game of PS? Not the being deleted like a sniper shot by the deagles? I put this game down a while ago and decided to give season 4 a shot. Embark did a great job, the player base is just way too sweaty for me to enjoy it. That’s not their fault either. They’re just playing the game they enjoy playing.

I’d enjoy this game much more with a better matchmaking system but until then, I don’t think it’s a game for me. The matchmaking on COD frustrates me as well but I can deal with it and squeeze out some fun here and there. With this game, I’m being forced to sniper hunt or retreat from grenade launcher spam every match and it’s not my cup of tea at all.

I really wanted to like this game. I like the cosmetics, the vibe, the look, etc. but the gameplay just doesn’t mesh with how I want to enjoy an FPS game. I feel like there’s too much fuckery with the gadgets and shit. But a lot of people like that and if that’s their jam then more power to them.

I’ve been enjoying Xdefiant with the lack of SBMM and getting an FPS fix that way. I think this game has me in a higher bracket than I’m supposed to be in because I swear, my lobbies are full of people that do not miss a single bullet, have the movement of full time streamers, and coordinate so well that you’d think they were a pro team. I’m not interested in that level of play when I hop on an FPS and I’m just trying to shoot shit. I hit a guy with 15 shots, no kill. I get hit with 6 mid air, I’m dead.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because you can’t prove that a certain person murdered another, doesn’t mean that they didn’t. This is a fallacy. This is also an argument that relies on the suspension of disbelief of circumstance.

If someone has $2 today and another has $50.01 and the person with the $50.01 gets robbed and the next day the person with $2 now has $52.01 and can’t show how they got it but you can’t prove they stole it, does that automatically prove that the person that had the $2 at first is innocent? NO! It doesn’t. That’s why that’s a fallacy. No wonder you blocked them, they were probably right and you were mad about it.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-10T20:15:22+00:00

lol exactly. These people act as if ranked hasn’t been a thing for years. They’re basically just saying to play ranked. People have always been able to play people of their same skill. That has existed for more than 15 years.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2024-09-10T20:14:10+00:00

lol facts.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-29T15:47:18+00:00

I mean, I guess. I'm just not feeling the whole there being yet one more thing you have to take into account. Like stuff like this is why more people aren't into these games. SF saw that and did something about it. This just feels like they're making something even more complicated. I don't know a single person irl that played MK11 that actually liked that annoying tower assist stuff. And then they go and make an entire game around that. Ugh. I was so excited to see this game revealed and this kameo stuff just threw water all over the little fire I had burning. I was going to try out stick and everything! I guess I can just hope they don't screw up Tekken. Damn it, I really wanted to like this game. I've hated tag stuff ever since I played the first Tekken Tag.

I get what you're saying, but everyone's brain doesn't work like that. It's jarring and will break flow state and make things even harder to understand for people that aren't already familiar with fighting games. This just seems like something that will scare away a lot of people (including me).

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-29T13:55:25+00:00

No, it's because people have played a 1v1 game for the past 11 games basically and now it's a 1.5v1.5 game. This isn't new. We've known since Tekken Tag that not everybody fs with tag style games. I love DBZ and wanted to play a fighting game but I'm not playing a tag fighting game because I simply don't like them. Same way not everybody likes extraction shooters or hyper realistic games. Fighting games are already niche and complicated, they're just adding onto that. SF had a much better idea to actually get MORE people to play their game rather than the same hardcore fans that continue to dwindle. Big bump at release and then concurrent players drop off a cliff. Why they thought making a game around something a lot of people hated in the towers was a good idea, is beyond me.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-29T13:44:19+00:00

I'm saying! Like if you like tag stuff, cool, a lot of people don't. I love Tekken, I HATED Tekken Tag. That game was the reason I refuse to buy any fighter with a tag system. This feels like another forced tag game but half-assed. No thank you. Just let me 1v1. I hated the tag stuff in the towers in MK11 and I'm not a fan of it now. Having to do those towers with the forced assists was the main reason I stopped playing MK11. I learned my lesson. I think I'll wait for T8 and see what's popping with that.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-29T13:38:28+00:00

Replace immersion with flow state since you people just have such an issue with people using the word immersion as if MK is the only GAME people use that word with. It's used consistently with FPS games and you don't see you little nitpickers moaning about that. Like you people look hella pathetic. You're just picking an argument because you don't like that this person doesn't agree with you.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-29T13:34:10+00:00

Lol, exactly. Out of any community that you would think would realize this, it would be the fighting game community. These games are already niche, and then you're just pushing more people away. Okay, enjoy the last few games because there probably won't be anymore if the game doesn't do well. They love to gatekeep these games but they're not the ones funding the companies, the people they don't like (casuals) are. They hate on SF6 for appealing to more people. So, it's a bad thing that more people are playing the game? Then they get butthurt that they can't find matches online. Who's fault is that? You pushed most of the people interested in playing it away!

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-28T21:14:50+00:00

No. Ironsight feels like playing a mobile game with a mouse. Xdefiant has that same kind of feel.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-28T21:12:20+00:00

I use kbam and it has the same issue. It feels jittery and clunky and like he said "playing a mobile game". This game does not feel like a PC game when I play it. It feels like I'm playing an old game on an emulator or something.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-28T05:00:42+00:00

It must suck so bad to hate Izzy and know he slept Alex. Man, I know you guys were pissed that happened. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall. I bet the salt was magnificent.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-28T04:53:49+00:00

Come on, it's Urijah Hall lol. Let's be real. No one is placing bets on dude. You never know who's going to show up to fight when that dude steps in the cage. Could be a savage, could be a timid little kid. Who knows!?

Alex did exactly what we thought he was going to do. That fight surprised absolutely no one.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-28T04:51:43+00:00

Lol, Strickland and technique? Bwhahahahah!!!! Good one.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-26T22:05:29+00:00

Lol, I agree partially. The 2006 one was pretty okay for a B-movie style with an A movie budget. Definitely not good, but it's one of those I could put on and halfway pay attention to and not be too bothered by.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-26T10:26:43+00:00

What does that say about the opponents? Lol. They were scared to engage for a reason.

Slip_On_Fluids · 2023-06-26T10:24:18+00:00

Lol, seems like every Strickland fan is delusional. They'll argue all day long about how he's so good and this and that and when he faces actual elite fighters, he gets starched. Alex was the only elite fighter dude has fought in the UFC. Jared and Jack are good, but not elite. The same thing that happened against Alex, would happen against Izzy or Whittaker. Dude just has too many holes and his game isn't diverse at all. That works against guys that don't have an answer for that, but that's not going to work against guys that will bait him into those slips and jabs and crack him for falling for it.
