  • Its definitely a mindset thing. In any game with any sort of competition, the majority of people seem to have this thought that “I must win”. And if they dont, then they are having a bad time.

    I notice this alot in smash specifically when I play with new players, they put all this emotion into matches with nothing on the line. Then beat themselves over every loss.

    I even get questions like “Why you did this dumb thing?” which sometimes leads them to thinking im trolling. Like bro, im playing for fun.

    Or if im not sweating 24/7, “Are you sandbagging?” Dude, we are playing friendlies, this is not a tourney that decides my future career, its not that serious.

    Its like people forgot what casual gaming was.


  • Casual multiplayer games still exist, but are pretty rare these days. Stuff like left 4 dead, minecraft survival, and halo minigame maps are all very casual. I would think VR multiplayer games are probably casual too but I never got into it lol

    If you hate any social interaction with randoms at all tho, then I would still avoid those probably.












  • There is no haptics, just normal rumble. I also dont remember the xbox controllers having those either, I thought that was exclusive to ps5, then something new came out?

    For my quick review of the pro 2:

    Best dpad on a modern controller so far, but I still think it needs improving. (Still good for platformers tho)

    Build quality is good overall with the grips feeling great.

    Joysticks work good, but the small travel make them not ideal for fps precision games like halo.

    Bluetooth input lag is not good, its bad enough that I exclusively use it wired. (I am very sensitive to input lag tho)

    The cable that comes with it is not great and I had to replace it after about a year. (Any cable will work basically)

    Overall I enjoy using it alot and often prefer it over the switch pro controller. Must have for retro gamers, but if you dont need a good dpad, then I would probably stick to the more traditional controllers.
