Most gamers do not always think about other players, especially if they are only doing campaigns or single player games. But have you ever watched another gamer play? Maybe had a teammate who wasn’t pulling their weight (not just one game, but repeatedly)? I was watching some people play on a kiosk at Best Buy, when they messed up. It wasn’t a small mess up, like missed one note or only got one of the coins instead of two. It was a HUGE mess up. Their reaction was “Stupid controller, doesn’t work correctly.” Then they angrily walked away.
Hello, it’s not the controller that makes the game. It’s the user. I do understand controllers can mess up, and that systems at stores do not always work the greatest. But this is an issue I see a lot, especially online in team matches. When a group of us are playing, occasionally you will have the one player who is having a bad day (or maybe just a bad match up). Their response is always “My connection is bad.” or “The game must have a glitch.”
Why can’t people just say, “Sorry guys, I’m having an off day.” Please quit blaming the lighting, the connection, the controller, the game, or whatever other excuses you have. It’s your fault, you made the error. Just remember “Thou Shall Take the Blame”, it’s not the end of the world. I promise all gamer have bad days. It’s not just you.
