no sauce no movement unseasoned chicken content game

-

I will go into detail for the uninitiated: those words accurately describe Valorant.

This game has no "sauce" in that it lacks anything to make it stand out from other games. It takes the general movement and gunplay of Counterstrike, but makes it glacially slow. It takes the heroes of Overwatch and gives them piddly, diet abilities that mean there isn't much distinguishing one hero from the next.

Valorant has no movement because your run speed is not only abysmal, but your jump sucks and shift walking is maddeningly slow too. In addition, the game heavily discourages running by making half the map hear you when you do so.

Valorant is unseasoned chicken because it has no soul. None of the characters have a lick of personality, which reflects this game's hardcore fanbase. Some of the characters look like a randomized Sims 3 citizen. The maps are painfully bland. Does this game even have music? I forgot.

And finally, Valorant is a content game because it has no artistic merit. At least Overwatch tries to have distinct heroes with some level of personality, backstory, etc. Not only that, but Overwatch shows artistry in the game design. So does Counter Strike, though it may be less obvious. Valorant is basically Riot saying "Wow, counterstrike and Overwatch are popular, let's do the same thing but worse!"

As an additional note, the community is atrocious. Genuinely. I was playing with this discord mod of a large server (he insisted on joining me and some friends...) and the guy was just a total moron. He was in his 30's and constantly calling everyone a cunt and a bitch. He kept telling me to change to a different weapon because my choice wasn't "optimal." Why are weird transphobic manchildren attracted to mind numbing mid? I'll let you be the judge of that.

Fucking abhorrent. Laughably unbalanced matchmaking, toxic player-base with cringe e-daters, no player freedom by being forced to run meta only; else you'd be hated for "throwing the match", a tutorial that teaches you jack shit on how to actually win, annoying abilities that don't feel fun at all to fight against, an irritating focus on competitive play that sacrifices good game design and ruins any sense of fun, literally the worst micro-transactions I've seen in a non-mobile video game, even anti-cheat that apparently is malware, all of which combines into this piece of "entertainment" I absolutely despise to no end. Just spend your $100 on many other, BETTER games instead of some lousy cosmetic pack that only gives you around 8 subpar skins.

Tried to like it since I've got a few mates that play this but it's actually just a terrible game. It's CS:GO for people who just don't seem to get it, e-daters or disgusting zoomers like myself.

Gunplay? No. Maps? Nothing will be as iconic as Dust 2. The maps are inoffensive at best and absolutely miserable to play on at worst. Movement? Also terrible. The admittedly interesting part of the game which is the characters and abilities actually end up negatively contributing to the whole thing. Far too many unenjoyable interactions and far too many times in this game where you'll die and feel like you got robbed.

Fuck this game. Fuck the people that insist that it's good and fuck the Riot Games pipeline

comunidade zoada pra krl, tem q estudar um monte de coisa pra ter o minimo de diversao mas a caminhada nunca acaba, sempre tem q estudar mais, sempre vai ter alguem com monitor melhor q o teu, mouse, teclado, pc com mais FPS, é uma desgraça, tu morre e fica um baita tempo sem jogar

não vejo motivo pra alguem se submeter a isso que nao seja jogo de poder, ego, vício, acomodação, FOMO, etc

é RARO um jogo nao se salvar mesmo jogando com os amigos, mas esse consegue
fora a participação IMENSA na tal da sindrome do PC gamer, fudendo o cerebro de um monte de jogador a parar de se divertir com videogame

e sim, isso é basicamente a minha review de CSGO mas com pequenas alterações

dando uma nota maior que o jogo citado anteriormente pq esse aqui ainda tem um resquicio de alma

I remember back when I first got my PC this game was so enticing, being one of the few games I was able to play with my friends, despite my bad GPU and low skill, and it was fun for a while with friends but oh so frustrating grinding by myself.
I'm glad my PC gave up on the game because it actually drove me to violence (on inanimate objects). The gameplay was pretty fun and the diversity of characters was unheard of for me honestly but my low skill made playing so crushing and brutal I had to stop.
