- Howdy Folks! Hope all is well! Today I'm back with another dog dad opinion, this time with a game very close to my heart, even if I hate its guts sometimes..
I'm talking about Counter Strike 2, the most competitive game on the market today.. You gotta watch the video to find out why silly!
Hope all is well : )
Sincerely,
Dog Dad
"I need to text my friend Clara, right now, she was at my house today and didn't know theres a new dog dad video." Howdy folks! Hope all is well! I'd love to get your take on what "competitive" means to you and what games your playing right now that fit that criteria for yourself. Thanks so much for stopping by, and hope all is well.
All the best,
Dog Dad
In a "competitive" game the player or team that plays better should win. It can be achieved if the game is either fair or has a high skill ceiling. It might sound weird but let me explain. Let's take CSGO (fair but not high skill ceiling). Although top players can play nearly perfectly, the team that plays even slightly better will win because there is no matchup adventage to make a difference. Now let's take Starcraft BW (not fair but high skill ceiling). Although someone does have some matchup adventage, it's humanly impossible to get anywhere close to playing perfectly so the skill difference even between pro players completely negates any matchup adventage.
It's just my opinion though, others may think differently.
BTW thank you for the video, it lives up to its creator.
Viz! Great to see your familiar name : ) and thank you so much for taking the time to think about the question I posed.
That’s a really interesting point about match up advantage and being “too good” at the game.
And that’s the beauty of our opinions, we can share them and understand others have them too : )
I truly appreciate you, thank you for your kind words!
I couldn't really define what a 'competitive game' is, but I know what competitive games need to have to be called that: equity among players. Anyone, from the tryhard who spent 1000 hours to the newbie, must, in theory, have the SAME chances to win. The hardcore gamer doesn’t have any fancy weapon, perk, item, ability, power, etc., that the casual gamer doesn’t also have. There is nothing to unlock (except cosmetic things with no impact on the gameplay).
So... is Halo a competitive game? I don't know... But it's still more competitive than any modern Call of Duty game.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I like the ambiguity you give to the word and thank you from the bottom of my heart for truly thinking about the question I posed. That means more than you know.
Wishing you the best, and hope you have an awesome weekend!
Loved the intro lol also that counter strike is fun to watch , but no Dog´s opinion? mmmmm this is sus
Thank you so much! I’ll get him in the next one : ) hope all is well!
Already know I’m gonna like this one🤙
Thanks for taking the time out of your Saturday to watch : )
I love CS and also have played for more than a couple decades. But the best multiplayer FPS is quake. No doubt about it. One of the things I always use to argue this point is how maybe every game has a Dust2 in them modded by someone, but Quake3 on the other hand has tens or hundreds of clones, created to reproduce it as well as possible, simply because of how much they got right back when Q3 was made.
Titanfall is also very nice and doesn't have the same shortfalls of the other games you list, but I don't know where exactly I'd put it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I only played Quake 4 very briefly at my babysitters house long ago, CS was just more accessible to me, and I fear that maybe living in NYC after 9/11, I definitely wanted to go after terrorists instead of aliens ahahah. I've heard nothing but good things about Titanfall, another game I did not play, but have been recommended.
Did you enjoy both Titanfalls and think they're worth it now?
@@Dog.Dad.Studios I only played the second one. The campaign is probably one of the best single player fps campaigns ever (depending on taste), and the northstar project to revive the multiplayer is (IMO) one of the greatest achievements of a game community. It still gets a few tens of players at any time, but I personally have not played in a long while - years.
Still, much like Quake3, all of it is taste. It is personal and subjective - it is really hard to say "this game is better than that other one". My personal taste is (and I only realised this common thread recently) for games in which movement itself is a big skill component. I always knew I liked movement shooters, but only after thinking about other titles I enjoy a lot I realised that getting somewhere faster and in a better position than my opponents through skill is what mattered - I noticed by looking harder into why I felt Rocket League was similar to Smash Brothers Melee.
So in those three games (Q3, Melee and RL) it is hard to move to where you think you should be in a way that is fast and efficient, and the skill ceiling for how much faster than your opponent you get there is huge. And I like all three A LOT.
Unfortunately Quake Champions didn't hook me as much as straighter Q3 clones like Diabotical and Xonotic and Reflex Arena. And it seems everything is dead nowadays.
IMO people are can't really face the consequence of their skills, which is why games like CS and OW and Rainbow Six etc get so many players, while Q3 and the like, that focus on 1v1, don't. Similar to how Starcraft 2 was supplanted by MOBAs. People like playing with their friends, but also they like having an excuse for their losses, you can't blame the jungler in 1v1 starcraft.
I still play some CS, I think I'll never not play a shooter. I still play Melee (slippi being one of the greatest community achievements, like I said of northstar), and RL and am just about getting back into SC2 - Playing AOM gave me the itch again, and seeing the disastrous early access of Stormgate reminded me of just HOW GOOD SC2 really is. SC2 is afterall the reason I just found your channel - I will replay the campaign and wanted a refresher for the story of SC1 + BW. But I'm now convinced to replay them, if not the remaster at least the Mass Recall mod. It is a shame Blizz took the "small" story of SC + BW and did what they did in SC2....But it is still enjoyable to play anyways.
Quake
I only played quake 4 briefly. Which quake and why?
@@Dog.Dad.Studios quake live is the definition of competitive multiplayer
@@oaschloch-reuploads4423 how do I play it?
Halo 3 was the best 2v2v2v2 game ever nade.
Thank you for taking the time to share this! What was your favorite map?
@@Dog.Dad.Studios the no-vehicle one with the missile pod and the sword on the cool angular structure with the lifts.
@Dog.Dad.Studios I threw an 8-person 360 system link party a few weeks ago. 2 tvs, 2 360s, we could each and all see each other. It's legitimately a crime against humanity that game consoles have taken away split screen functionality, and reduced the number of people who could play on a single console.
@@donishcushing8223 those were the best of times since there were two games at play, what was on screen and how you could psychologically mess with your friends.
I loved the GameCube because of that and playing double dash/Mario party etc. Thank you for sharing this! Hope all is well!
@Dog.Dad.Studios I and my friend tried to include smash bros melee, but the wii I bought online made it impossible for anyone to go left, so it became just a 10-minute lolwut.
My favorite of the three gaming events was of course getting my friends to try StarCraft for the first time. It was cool to see two guys who had never played starcraft before fighting in a TvT on Challenger. They both had some input from coaches in their corner, but the state of things being unknown and mysterious in the fog of war made it a stressful slobberknocker that lasted a full 42 minutes before finally ending with one person unable to mine from their first and only expansion while the other was able to finish it with like 5 marines and 2 goliaths. Afterwards everyone needed like an hour to calm down from that game :D
I really enjoyed your coverage of the Broodwar lore. I had read the books as a kid but I mostly cheated my way through the levels until I was a proper adult coming back to it from playing multiplayer. So, in that sense I found it was a really difficult campaign, but you seemed to clear it mostly legitimately. But be honest, was not that one mission where you knowingly kill Aldaris highly difficult? Personally that was a level I never beat until I finally did the full playthrough legit in my 20s.
