Why would you buy the exact same game 11 times?
if this meme is from 2022 he could’ve bargain-binned all of them for like a dollar each, but apparently he couldn’t afford FIFA '20…
In reality? He plays online and matchmaking requires it.
In fantasy holier than thou reddit and Lemmy world? Counter: Why buy Fallout New Vegas when it’s all just bullshit story and the same wasteland as 3?
It’s set thousands of miles away…
I got one!!! 🎣
In another wasteland… With the same enemies… Ghouls… generic stories… Controls… HUD… Vats… Skills… Cheats… Exploits… Leveling… Radiation sickness go brrrr.
It’s not like your character can do anything but grunt and moan in any of the games dialogue…
Hey you’re the pizza guy! Holy shit!
Yeah the only reason I can think of that doesn’t make him lame is if he plays it on an export level
Lmao
My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caution with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K. We call them male “candy crush” games.
Edit: I’m loving the updates. Add Madden and NHL to the list!
My ex bought FIFA/NBA every year as it came out like clock work. Set the game to the easiest possible settings, but complained about rubber banding and reset the quarter when he lost.
The one time I got him to do laundry, he threw away half of our socks. He didn’t want to find pairs. My fancy dress socks, my novelty socks - all in the trash when I get home from work.
Liking certain video games isn’t itself a red flag, it’s that mindless, video games as avoidance/wish fulfillment that’s concerning.
Man, and I think I’m pathetic because I don’t meal prep 2 weeks in advance and have my house sparkling clean and tidy all the time…
You touch my merino wool socks we are fighting!!!
Boils my blood someone would just toss socks away like that…
Fuck, why would anyone throw away clothes to not do laundry??
Goddamn, just be a lazy ass like me and throw the socks in a drawer and play Where’s Waldo every time you need a pair.
The idea is that if you deliberately fuck up a basic household cleaning task, you won’t be asked to do it again. Loading a washer was itself an interruption of FIFA/most recent Ubisoft game, and that stunt was an attempt to get out of it.
The NHL games are like crack cocaine for Canadians.
Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.
Racing games is just hockey on a track following an imaginary pack on a track.
Checkmate Sth Rogen.
Or you are an imposter. Ever thought about that?
It’s honesty pretty bleak to see companies like Electronic Arts and Activision consistently top the sales charts by releasing the same game every year.
Said this before on Reddit in the past, but there are lots of consumers who have no taste in video games whatsoever. They don’t give a shit about anything but FIFA/Madden, Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, and that is the reason why we have predatory shit like Ultimate Team and Shark Cards in $70 AAA titles.
it honestly just looks like addiction to me, it’s like people who drink the same miserable burnt coffee every morning just to vaguely function, and see no issue whatsoever with this habit and in fact continue to praise coffee for being so great and tasty.
what about minecraft and factorio?
Perfectly fine and usually chill 👍🏾
good to know. Though i think few people would enjoy playing either one with me unless they’re very similar to me, i play technical minecraft, and go pretty hard on factorio lol.
My biggest excitement for quantum computers is infinite factories
factorios mining productivity research is one of the biggest shitposts in any game ever created. Though we do love a good zachtronics reference in this household.
Minecraft Java and Factorio don’t have micro transactions (Minecraft Bedrock does though)
this is true, good point, and factorio is doubly based, so we like that in this household.
Thankfully i don’t play bedrock (i’m a linux user, it doesnt work on linux)
Can’t forget Madden
Ah yes. There is another.
Back then when being a gamer was akin to being a Poindexter who gets shoved into lockers and had their lunch money stolen, I was pretty adamant that “Gamers are gamers!”
But now that extroverts watch marvel movies, gorgeous model types own gaming systems, and gaming is no longer a hidden secret for basement dwellers and elevated to “normal behavior”, I’ve changed course.
Not to say a FIFA bro won’t end up playing Elden Ring. But chances are very slim.
She stole his scarf?!
Why does the guy have so many copies of the same game?
Sports fan brain
I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.
The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it’s a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.
In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?
We used to have GAME stores everywhere and they occasionally had really nice deals. I loves those stores, it’s a shame they went bankrupt.
For a discount on a new game? I while ago I bought a ps4 for a friend and just got a bunch of second hand games from that store. All common ones but I saved a bunch of money that way.
But 5 bucks discount is nothing, you can get so much better in other venues.
I suppose. Discounted nintendo games is nice though, those are almost never discounted. Plus the old games they sell are fun. Digging through old ds games and such.
Here they are discounted a lot, very often in the 40 euro range (new)
It’s been years and years since I set foot in a Game Stop (US equivalent of the store you mentioned) but they would also “buy” any functional game you brought in. However, you would be lucky to get more than for $1 in store credit towards another used game for anything other than a new release.
I thought she was drugged in the first panel
I thought it was ‘loss’
I thought I saw “FIFA eleventeen” on one of the spines and felt proud I spotted an easter egg. Looked again,saw it was my poor vision. Damn.
I can’t read the stuff anyways. The image is too deep fried
FIFA 19(second from top) was the one I thought was an extra. The deep frying was the reason I thought it was another joke tho.
Why is she removing pants in panel 2 that she isn’t wearing in panel 1?
All of you in this thread need to look up “FIFA scripted games”.
I’m guessing there was no FIFA 20 because of Covid?
Covid didnt shut down any of the big EA titles
Whereas, seeing Kick & Run == life-partner material.
People who buy a game console just to play nothing but the same sports titles year after year are the absolute worst. I’ll never understand why they’re like this.
Think of them like blood plasma. They cover the cost of console development so that the rest of us can play real games.
How are they the absolute worst? What have they done to you?
It doesn’t bother you when other people do stupid, wasteful things? Buying a $500 console just to play the same $70+ game every year with no changes or improvements over last year’s version (other than a pointless roster update), is stupid and wasteful.
I think it’s stupid but I don’t take it personally. Calling them the absolute worst is incredibly over the top.
If they enjoy it, can’t we let them enjoy it?
OMFG that’s so fucking funny
Yuk
panel 3 is useless, he was clearly wasted and fell asleep.
