Years later, I'm still mad against console-exclusive story DLCs

It was kind of a trend on the X360 & PS3 era and thankfully it died out with its gen.

Prince of Persia 2009 never had its whole (paid) epilogue released on PC >!(Giving how the base game ends, it's kinda cruel)!< . I also remember two story DLCs for Tomb Raider Underworld that were Xbox 360 exclusives.

Qu'est-ce qui a rendu les Crocs "acceptées socialement" ?

Il y a 10 ans tout le monde s'accordait à les trouver hyper moches et sans intérêt. Aujourd'hui, alors que leur design reste éloigné de la mode actuelle, ce sont des chaussures qui ne choquent plus personne, elles sont même saluées pour leur confort et ont le droit à des collections limitées.

D'où vient ce revirement ?

Trying to get better at a game really sucks

Most games with a "competitive" edge (mostly Soulsborne & e-sports mainstays) have a decent tutorial but could not be bothered to learn you how to be a better player. And if you're having a hard time figuring it out through trial and error, it's always good to ask for advice, right ?
Well, it would be... if most communities weren't treating newcomers like lazy entitled guys who can barely hold a controller/mouse.

As "welcoming" as they pretend to be, gaming communities are taking so much for granted that no one has the patience to actually teach someone to aim more efficiently, take better trajectories, manage your resources, etc. Stuff that should be common knowledge by now.

However, 90% of the time, those questions are met with the same premade reactions :

  • Any variation of "git gud" or "just press [button]" snobism

  • Links to OP builds and strategies made to be blindly followed, with no context on their strengths, flaws or overall reason to exist

  • Outdated guides that are not exactly entry-level stuff

What make those games "hard to master" is not the actual difficulty, but the way newcomers are left on their own. You could have all the curiosity and will to get better, it's frustrating to have to fight through this unnecessary layer of elitism. You have to be good as fast as possible or you will feel like a liability.
