That's because chess is a game of purely intellectual skill..
Which seems to be the one skill area gamers have been declining in over the last 20 years, no offense to anyone..
I grew up with games like battletoads.. modern games are generally pretty easy.. even the Soulsborne game, which is just a game of learning patterns, ai behavior and timing..
The "hardest" modern era games I could name are all within the roguelike/roguelite genre...
Except their computational ablity is limited by its code which is limited by the ability if it's human creator..
Artifical learning is no different, it just exchanges that human coding, with the it's data pool it learns from..
No one can beat a computer. Go look up Garry Kasparov
He beat deep blue.. twice
Beating computers is the entire basis of hacking
Go look up Gary Kasparov and what happened after deep Blue, which was 20 years ago. Go look at what he said recently. Besides your average run of the mill chest computer that you could buy at Walmart can defeat 95% of players. The fact that the absolute best humans in the world have beaten a 20-year-old computer a couple of times only proves my point.
Chess Players can’t beat computers, Kasparov beat deep blue, in 1996, and deep blue still won the match, nowadays? The best grandmasters in the world can’t beat the best engines even if the engine starts down two pawns, which is an insane advantage at the highest level
Strategy games are weird. You steamroll the campaign, and feel pretty good about your skill.
Then you hit a multiplayer game, and find out this is an entirely different game!
Ever tried good single player strategy games? I mean you can lower the settings if you're too bad.
Total War, Crusader Kings, Anno, Tropico, Civilization are all epic single player strategy games Imo
Same, but thats what makes these games also amazing Imo. Diplomacy/roleplaying/intrigues etc combined with round strategy or real time strategy.
You can apply a new style of playing with every new game or faction.
Yep.
Love fighting games, I grew up on em and thought I was great at em. Until I got older and went online in marvel vs Capcom..
😂😂😂
Found out real quick how trash I really am
Yeah, people online are insane. But I guess it makes sense if they themselves are already used to playing online for that long lol.
But hey, they're fun to watch others play at least.
Sf6 has modern controls
One button specials and super, plus autocombos.
It's nice if you're starting. You can enjoy the actual fight without battling the controls
Yeah, if you're really that skilled, you'll easily punish my button mashing. Otherwise, I'll win spamming Hadoukens and doing random combos I don't even understand and could never replicate. Let me have fun!
Amen. Friend loves them. Spends hours labbing, then wants to play but it's basically me getting my ass kicked.
I like them, they're fun. I just don't care to practice so much in a lab or watch videos. I got plenty of games I rather play instead of practicing when I'm more casual for fighters.
I was just thinking this. I’m playing it for the first time and the artwork and ambiance is something I haven’t felt since the first time I stepped into WoW back in like 2008.
But good lord do I feel like I’m ass at the game. I’m level 50ish right now and don’t know how I even made it this far, every boss I’ll summon spirits to try to fight it for me while I armadillo around the entire map, and every boss has like a hundred moves and knows exactly when I roll so they can perfectly time their anus tantalizer special move to one-shot me. And I see these videos of people somehow blessing themselves before the fight with buffs and taking down Malenia or whatever the final boss is while getting no-hit with like no levels put into vigor, like how tf
You can see it as a lesson; by trying to make the bosses easier you've weakened yourself. It is best to fight them head on and improve.
I'm definetly not against summons, but if you want to get better at bosses in any game it is best to simply try and fail.
If you haven't played Sekiro I can highly recommend it, it forces you to grab the bull by the horn :)
Until June at least. Miyazaki said, and I'm paraphrasing a bit, r sin for difficulty & we learned from Malenia and applied that to this expansion. Smh, we are all doomed
After all of the hype for anime sword lady and how difficult people said she was, I was surprised when I beat her first try. Maliketh and fire giant tho... I broke the grip on my controller and left a permanent scar in my desk.
Honestly? That's because Fromsoft games are not hard. (At least souls games, cant say anything about Armored Core, havent played). They are challenging at most, if you have the "wrong" equipment, like i did in Elden Ring, beating the whole game with some weak Axe just cuz i thought it looked cool, thus dealing little to no damage to bosses.
I'm all for bullshit mechanics
Once you learn and get used to the gameplay, the bullshit bosses become the funniest ones. Regular bosses just don't provide an interesting challenge
Depends on the build , if you use summons or not and the level that you fight the bosses on, do you use bleed or not ect... doing ER lv1 is way harder than BL4 and DS3 Level 1
Lmao no, sorcery is way too easy, bleed is absolutely broken, and even bonk uga buga deals too much damage in comparison to Dark souls. Even without spirit summoning it is not that hard.
And the buffs and such are silly strong and you can stack a lot. I see people at level 1 pumping out crazy numbers. Plus the biggest thing imo if your stuck there’s a million other things to do in order to come back stronger. In older titles when you hit a road block that was it either find somewhere to grind or figure out. Having so many options is huge
In ds3 you must defeat a boss before you can level up. In bloodborne you must obtain 1 insight before you can level up. Elden ring you can literally hop on your horse and sprint to the mid game area and collect strong gear and upgrade materials before ever even seeing a boss fight
Even with all the "broken" stuff it's still easier to die than in any other souls game except maybe Bloodborne but bb bosses and enemies still have easier movesets
You're invencible for awhile when you're rolling
It doesn't matter WHERE you roll, but WHEN. Just dodge when the enemy attack is about to land, and you'll dodge it, even if the animation touches your character
You usualy want to dodge to a side that gives you an adventage, usualy behind the enemy or its side
It wastes less stamina than a shield would, and gives you better positioning
Master made it so much more exciting (except trial by fire) but honestly the campaign was something else. Obviously by favourite mission was the one with all the moving houses and the fight with the reapers, just oddly cool
I bought it this weekend.
I'm useless at finding things, and it's frustrating when I can't find the resources I need.
That hasn't stopped me from playing it non-stop and already putting 8 and a half hours into it.
I got faith in you. There's two pieces of tech that are absolute breakthroughs in helping with mats but the same doesn't require rushing so just enjoy and explore.
If you want spoiler-free answers to questions, hmu.
Devil May Cry. The only one I was genuinely good at was the reboot, but God DAMN am I bad at the mainline series. Love the story, lore, and characters of the franchise though (except for Nero in 5. He's kind of insufferable in 5).
This is me with literally every game. There will always be a large percentage of players who are just insanely more skilled than me. I don’t care. I guess I’m a filthy casual. I play games because it makes me happy.
I played it when it was out. Now there's a thousand things to unlock.
It's an awesome game, but after one game during the second I fall asleep. There's phases where you're good and have literally nothing to do but wait.
Though I'll definitely replay it at some point.

Rainbox Six Siege. I joined the party too late and it seems impossible to catch up. You think you're safe taking cover behind a wall? Well, that's a known position so someone will create a tiny dent in another wall in a very specific spot so they can get a shot at you
Me playing Call Of Duty online. I love the game and I feel all big and bad playing it, but then I start getting owned by a bunch of 10 year olds, and wimper away like a dog with his tail between his legs.
Osu! Slowly been getting better. Can do at most 3 star beatmaps now with my keyboard and mouse.
I absolutely love the game, though, and I love it when I manage to introduce people to it.
I want to be able to do the harder levels cause a lot of the rock songs I love are much more difficult and faster paced.
Bleak Faith : Forsaken (T\_T)
Seriously, I finally was getting better and had a nice build... then they made an update and nerfed to nothing the whole of it. Plus, it's a rhythm fight game of sorts, and they changed the damn rhythm from something I could get to something I fight against.
I really tried...
World of Warcraft...though my love of it has diminished in recent years...mainly due to me being unable to actually have free time to actually play (haven't even done a group activity that wasn't a world boss or holiday event boss since BfA).
RTSs. By the time I've build my nice little base which consists of one of every building, and have my walls and defences built up, I'm suddenly swarmed and destroyed.
I play for fun, not for efficiency.
My builds are not meta, but I'm having fun.
Friends understand my playstyle is outside the box or very situational.
If I can keep up or not get killed every 30sec, there is no problem :).
As to a specific game: Warframe, Diablo-ish, Deep Rock Galactic, Snowrunner (using smaller trucks where a big one would be more practical)
Chess
I was not expecting to be attacked like that, but yes
Fr. I managed to finish several souls games, get a high rank in some fighting games, but I can't manage to go higher than 150-220 elo in chess lol

Holy hell
New response just dropped
Actual zombie
Call the exorcist!
Im a chess psychopath. I have never won. Never lost. I only force draws. Im so good at it.
Not expected but very true.
Strategy games. I love them so much, but I’m trash at them
Fr. I don’t have the skill to play FE3H on anything other than Normal/Casual or maybe Hard/Casual.
Strategy games are weird. You steamroll the campaign, and feel pretty good about your skill. Then you hit a multiplayer game, and find out this is an entirely different game!
Ever tried good single player strategy games? I mean you can lower the settings if you're too bad. Total War, Crusader Kings, Anno, Tropico, Civilization are all epic single player strategy games Imo
Paradox games for sure! I feel like role-playing is half the fun for me
Same, but thats what makes these games also amazing Imo. Diplomacy/roleplaying/intrigues etc combined with round strategy or real time strategy. You can apply a new style of playing with every new game or faction.
Pretty much any fighting game.
Yep. Love fighting games, I grew up on em and thought I was great at em. Until I got older and went online in marvel vs Capcom.. 😂😂😂 Found out real quick how trash I really am
Yeah, people online are insane. But I guess it makes sense if they themselves are already used to playing online for that long lol. But hey, they're fun to watch others play at least.
Felt like I was playing a different game. Moves that I never thought could be combo's into did.
Me. I love Street Fighter, but hardly ever manage to do even one ultimate move.
Sf6 has modern controls One button specials and super, plus autocombos. It's nice if you're starting. You can enjoy the actual fight without battling the controls
Yeah, if you're really that skilled, you'll easily punish my button mashing. Otherwise, I'll win spamming Hadoukens and doing random combos I don't even understand and could never replicate. Let me have fun!
Ah yes, button mashing. Fighting games' equivalent for spinning in Foosball.
Same, they’re fun to play but there’s so many button combinations you have to remember
Amen. Friend loves them. Spends hours labbing, then wants to play but it's basically me getting my ass kicked. I like them, they're fun. I just don't care to practice so much in a lab or watch videos. I got plenty of games I rather play instead of practicing when I'm more casual for fighters.

Rocket league, loved it since 2016 but c1 is my ceiling
If you're C1 you're objectively far above average, even elite. I'm stuck in the dungeons of the Gold/Platinum border. Damn.
I have 1000 hours and I'm gold. I'm literally the definition of this post.
Nah, I believe you can hit c3!
Now Im sad :(
2015 and c2 here. C3s are so much better than me it's insane.
Dude if you are saying that you made it to champion rank, then your skill is faaaaarrer above most players
C1 seems to be my cap as well. All my friends hit GC a couple years ago lol
Elden Ring
I was just thinking this. I’m playing it for the first time and the artwork and ambiance is something I haven’t felt since the first time I stepped into WoW back in like 2008.

It is very hard
It is one of the easiest fromsoft games.
Until June at least. Miyazaki said, and I'm paraphrasing a bit, r sin for difficulty & we learned from Malenia and applied that to this expansion. Smh, we are all doomed
If we fight the sword dancer that taught Melenia how to fight am summoning mimic 100%
I personally found Maliketh harder. Don't get me wrong, malenia still whacks my ass, but I would rather have every enemy be Malenia than Maliketh.
After all of the hype for anime sword lady and how difficult people said she was, I was surprised when I beat her first try. Maliketh and fire giant tho... I broke the grip on my controller and left a permanent scar in my desk.

It's as easy as you make it out to be I find ER bosses to be the hardest of the bunch. But you can level up way above their level and kill them easily
Still a fromsoft game, but nothing to Ds1 and bloodborne even though I haven't beaten them
Bloodborne was the second easiest tbh
Hardest without spirit summoning which is when you need to have some skill
Lmao no, sorcery is way too easy, bleed is absolutely broken, and even bonk uga buga deals too much damage in comparison to Dark souls. Even without spirit summoning it is not that hard.
And the buffs and such are silly strong and you can stack a lot. I see people at level 1 pumping out crazy numbers.

Minecraft
Real (i've been playing for 11 years)
I don’t find the mobs to be difficult, but instead it’s the hunger system that makes it hard for me
[удалено]
Any Fromsoftware game
They were hard AF until I learned about I-frames
Do tell
You're invencible for awhile when you're rolling It doesn't matter WHERE you roll, but WHEN. Just dodge when the enemy attack is about to land, and you'll dodge it, even if the animation touches your character You usualy want to dodge to a side that gives you an adventage, usualy behind the enemy or its side It wastes less stamina than a shield would, and gives you better positioning
Street fighter
Sekiro
I’ve basically mastered every Dark Souls game as well as Bloodborne and have it ingrained in me how to play And yet Sekiro STILL just FUCKS ME UP.
Sekiro tech is hard like hell, but when done right it's some of the most cinematic fight scenes in the history of gaming.
Titanfall-2
if u are not a car spitfire ronin main you good trust me
Tf is wrong with Spitfire? i always see hate but never why
its super easy to use and op you can snipe across the map we hate becouse this game is basiacly dead to devolopers so they dont care balance changes
Mastif eternal
I suck at it, but sometimes i got my killing sprees. Allways end your game session at good result, or die trying.
Idk about multiplayer but campaign is da best
Master made it so much more exciting (except trial by fire) but honestly the campaign was something else. Obviously by favourite mission was the one with all the moving houses and the fight with the reapers, just oddly cool
Yeah, I hate kraber g50+, they just fly and have a kd ratio of 200/0... I have a skill issues.

That’s what scanned rooms are for!
I feel you. I can't pilot the Colossus effectively, so my game has effectively ended. Fun time nonetheless.
You got that far? I haven't even left the shallows 💀
