that's normal for some HARDCOOORE gamers. they need to feel better than someone at something
Part of the reason they hate this game so much.
It's way easier then before to pull off "hardcore" looking combos".
They don't feel special anymore.
That was one of the most ridiculous statements ever. So every profession or something that requires skill is just for show off or a feel of superiority? people respect anything with skill and discipline instead of making excuses for their incompetency. The lack of the ability to play at high level in a game is called linear gameplay, and its something that is considered low in quality.
I understand the part of how some of these elitist mock people for their level of skill, but they all started at the same level of knowledge and skill of the game; there is no need to belittle people that are not skillful and people that are dedicated and skillful at something by making excuses and false claims about their reasons.
I personally try to play everything at high level to improve my mental abilities and have fun trying to master something with a challenge, not to feel special.
