I can hold my own with on in a sports or sim type game with a controller but 1st/3rd person I'm a total noob. they aren't accurate enough for me. Even in shooters I have my mouse set to over 6000dpi and maxed out acceleration. I can move my cursor across three screens by moving my mouse less than an inch in either direction from center (basically a slight wrist bend)

So, did they "correct" the spelling for non-US versions? I mean, the name of the game is actually "For Honor".

Just being a knob . It's a beautiful game and a really, really cool concept, but the skill gap is real. I'd assume that would be addressed for a non beta release, but it really killed my enjoyment of the game

I played an obscene amount of Overwatch previously, but I've been on a break for the last 3 weeks. The community has gotten increasingly bad and the competitive scene is a little stale.

With Overwatch, esports games always end up with toxic player bases as that's just the nature with competitive things in general. I've played CS:GO, League, and Dota and I can assure you that those communities are miles above Overwatch in toxicity. But this is my opinion so take it with a bit of salt.

League and DotA are cancer

What a wonderful Monday to wake up to.

Tanker overturned on I5, immediately closed down and been closed for hours apparently. Thus, traffic has to go to side roads and other highway, domino effect blah blah.

Oh and snow apparently started falling again so everyone is freaked out even more. 1 positive thing, I get to work from home then

You have read my mind, my northeastern(ish) brother!

Weeb games that I play are way more slow paced, text heavy, and I can leave it running without character dying. Gives me something to do.. if its slow tonight. And I do hope its slow..

Yeah, thats insane. I cant be anywhere near precise like that. Hell, i turn down the sensativity on a controller at times even

I've been playing CS since 1.5. Even played in CAL. I think Overwatch is worse.

I live in ELO hell for both of the games (~MG and Plat/Diamond) where people are wannabe professionals and I say the addition of visible stats in CS GO makes it worse than the "I have 4 golds" claims in OW. But yeah they both suck and having friends to play with numbs the pain of just solo queuing.

Haha... weeb games

I have to cut my damn grass this weekend! Not only have we had very little snow this year it has also been down right warm out so what we did have was gone in a day or two..

Our average annual snow fall is around 80 inches. This year we haven't broke 20 inches yet and 12 of that was over a 4 hour period.
