Current Events > Why do people online always seem to (grossly) exaggerrated video game faults?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If the graphics run at 40 FPS, instead of 60 FPS, the framerate is "horrible"; if the game has medium res textures, they are "murky and dreadful"; if the game doesn't run at 1080p, it's "unplayable".

Why do people do this? Are they really THAT elitist about things, or do they just want to look cynical (read: very cool) to other people online, who they don't know, and will never meet in person?

Imagine thinking people care about what they look like to you. You, especially.

Because anything for clicks and attention.

were you being intentionally ironic by grossly exaggerating how often this happens by saying "always"?

Gotta complain about something

They increased the TTK in Battlefield V recently and the reddit is flooded with people talking about demanding a refund and suing DICE.

Meanwhile I just popped it in yesterday and played a game. Gunplay felt fine, almost the exact same except sometimes I needed an extra bullet to down someone. Was Top 5 in most rounds still. Bear in mind this is after a month of people complaining about dying too quickly and not being able to respond to damage.

Gamers are petulant babies who are almost never satisfied. They'd rather be upset than happy.
