Author Topic: Am I the only one who hates CS:GO?  (Read 14699 times)

Okay, I will go into depth of why I do not like CS:GO, so don't just go straight up telling me that I'm a dumbass.

First off, the content.
For one of the largest played games in the world, I don't see why. There is a large lack of content compared to most modern shooters/FPSs out there today. There are only 5 (or 6) gamemodes, which is okay, but they're all too similar. Only thing different about them is the objective. You can end up playing the game for no more than 50 hours max, and experience all of the content the game has. Now, ADS, it would be a very nice addition to this game. I'm not saying no ADS makes this a bad game, but it would make it much more 'tactical' or 'hardcore' like the community likes to go for.

Second, the community.
Holy hell, the community. Its almost as bad as the L4D2 community, when it was still around. Players take the game way too seriously. I've noticed that if the team loses based on one player, all of the other players on the team go ape stuff. People always make fun of other players, for very dumb reasons. The community is full of tryhards and douchebags. I've noticed when I first started playing and I wasn't too familiar of the game of what I should be doing, there would always be some kid who would rage at me for going in the wrong direction or getting someone killed or something. There will be some kid screaming 'GAS THE JEWS' in chat, and when I try to silence him, his circlejerk buddies votekick me out. The only map that EVERYONE wants to play in is Dust2, like the community has some learning gap and doesn't want to try new maps.

Weapon skins.
Weapon skins are a very efficient way for Valve to make money. However, they add no extra stats to the weapon, and people are spending more money on crate keys then they have on the actual game just to obtain some stuffty knife. Peoples lives are spent on collecting weapon skins, and its starting to get really loving ridiculous.

Shooting mechanics.
I don't mind sacrificing time to learn how to use the guns, but lets be real here. I'm a quick learner but I also quickly learned that on this game having your crosshair on the enemy ain't good enough. You have to have your crosshair on the enemy while barely moving AND burst firing. I don't care if you're right in front of the enemy. If you hold down the trigger the bullets will spray everywhere despite the fact you're aimed right at the guy standing directly in front of him. I unloaded a mag in a guys back and he laughed at me and turned around and shot me with one bullet in the face and I'm dead. Oh and don't even get me started on the amount of headshots this game gives away. The hitboxes are also very mediocre.



As someone who loves serious FPS games, I tried to play CSGO considering its at the top of steams list when it comes to FPS games.
I was thoroughly disappointed in what I experienced, and for life of me can not get my head around why people play the game and why they think its more fun that other shooters.
CSGO is a piece of stuff, the only decent weapon customisation come from pay for skins of the steam store, some of which are hundreds of dollars, the movement is poor and the accuracy of the weapons is nothing like their real world counter parts, there is no fun to be had with that game, simply because everyone who is "good" at the game is only that way because they have spent thousands of hours learning how each weapons pre programmed bullet spread works. There is no skill in CSGO its either LUCK or HACKS, that is it.
In older CS there was skill, there was better movement and it was fun to play, CSGO is none of those things....
Want a good shooter, pick up a game in the Battlefield or Arma franchise. Obviously not as many players as CSGO, but its a better game, the only reason CSGO has so many players is eSports, filled with drug filled hack using skilless idiots, that make "kids" want to "earn big money" playing a game.


Before any of you say, "U dunt like it cuz ur bad lel", make up a new excuse lmao.

from what you've wrote it seems decently true tbh

Even if it was, I still enjoy playing BF/Arma even though I'm not necessarily good at the games.

The vast majority of the problems you're experiencing (toxic players, can't control recoil, playing only one map) come from not playing comp. Casual, Arms Race, Deathmatch, all those are trash gamemodes built with new players in mind. The games end fast and have basically no bearing on a player's skill. Competitive is taken much more seriously, and in it you choose your map, ideally get teammates who actually want to win, and you get a rank to play with people of equal skill.

Recoil management is probably the hardest part of being new, because very little of it is explained. There's some handy guides you could look up, but what this complaint ultimately boils down to is that you either didn't take the time to learn to shoot or you're flat out bad. If all these people can do it, and you can't then that means that the problem very likely lies in you. Aiming down sight really isn't needed for anything in particular, but if you're a real stickler for it each side had a gun with a red dot sight.

No argument about the community though, some people are real richards. Although as I mentioned before, it's mostly confined to casual gamemodes because literally nobody takes them seriously.

I don't understand your dislike of skins. If you don't want them, sell them. It's basically free money for you, and besides that I really don't see how it affects you what colors people put on their guns.

Want a good fast paced shooter, pick up a game in the Battlefield or Arma franchise. Obviously not as many players as CSGO, but its a better game, the only reason CSGO has so many players is eSports, filled with drug filled hack using skilless idiots, that make "kids" want to "earn big money" playing a game.
Okay I take back everything I just said. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you legitimately think that the only way to get good is to hack you're completely handicapped.

Also LMAO at ArmA being a fast paced game.

people play it because it has shooty guns

i know a guy who bet 160 euros on a CS:GO game for no reason whatsoever and lost

he sometimes complains about how his dad yells at him for not being able to pay his own bills. i really want to tell him the very simple solution to his problems but he just won't listen

the toxic players are the worst part, but other than that, it's fine

Wanna see something forgety?

both of the steam account listed in his BLF profile don't even have CSGO. How about that dude lol

you've never actually played an older CS game, why bother mentioning them

Its true the community is stuff
and its the true the aiming is stuff too. But that adds the competetive part wich makes the game unique and hard to play/learn. Wich I like tbh.

Nitpicking:

Weapon skins are a very efficient way for Valve to make money. However, they add no extra stats to the weapon
What. Do you want to this to be a stuffty pay to win or something? I don't understand what you are even complaining about.

I'm a quick learner
I'm sure you'll understand how I doubt this:
on this game having your crosshair on the enemy ain't good enough. You have to have your crosshair on the enemy while barely moving AND burst firing. I don't care if you're right in front of the enemy. If you hold down the trigger the bullets will spray everywhere despite the fact you're aimed right at the guy standing directly in front of him.
If you understand the basic shooting mechanic, just do it? Like, all you have to do is hold shift when you're getting into a fight, it's stupid but it's not difficult.

Oh and don't even get me started on the amount of headshots this game gives away. The hitboxes are also very mediocre.
This is probably the only legitimate complaint you have. The Source engine is old and very frequently do games on the engine have bad hitboxes among other such problems that show its age.

Want a good fast paced shooter, pick up a game in the Battlefield or Arma franchise.
Neither of those are fast shooters. Even dogfighting in Battlefield is so slow because of the map scale not being fitting for fighter jets.

the only reason CSGO has so many players is eSports, filled with drug filled hack using skilless idiots, that make "kids" want to "earn big money" playing a game.
The forget are you even talking about.

Now, ADS, it would be a very nice addition to this game.
no, it wouldn't

community is stuff but i enjoy the game
i dont like competitive because of the idea of not being able to leave once you're in it

Recoil management is probably the hardest part of being new, because very little of it is explained. There's some handy guides you could look up, but what this complaint ultimately boils down to is that you either didn't take the time to learn to shoot or you're flat out bad. If all these people can do it, and you can't then that means that the problem very likely lies in you.
I understood the recoil before I bought the game. I knew that the guns would shoot in an unrealistic 7 pattern lol. I was referring to how bad the hitboxes were, but you could say a little bit of it is with the completely stupid recoil Valve scripted. Its almost like it doesn't even require skill. "Oh, the guns are completely loving autistic and the barrel bends so dramatically you have to adjust." That's simple if its under 30m.

Okay I take back everything I just said. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you legitimately think that the only way to get good is to hack you're completely handicapped.

I owned CS on my Mr Sheepie account, refunded it. My other acc that was banned for reasons I wont go into had 30 something hours.

Most guns are already laser accurate when standing still, we don't need to make them more accurate

We're talking about a game that was made by Valve (with some help of course), what games that valve have made that have ADS with weapons that have no scope? Day of Defeat. And that's it.
