>Game is unbalanced or poorly designed>Fans claim it's part of the experience
>>741808941I need to see the math mathing out in real time to enjoy these games, the rate aliums get psychotic crits and land impossible shots pisses me off
>>741808941aka modern day 'roguelikes' or, more accurately, gambling games/RNG progression games
>>741808941Yeah the "git good" meme really did give game devs an easy out for unbalanced difficulty.
>>741809038that is just your cognitive bias at work. when you take a 70% shot, you feel cheated when it doesn't hit, but you instantly forget about it if it happens to hit. i had this experience with the pokemon TCG video game when i was playing it on GB emulator so i actually started keeping notes of the coin flips and ran the calculations, and yeah, it was fair 50/50 even though i felt like i was being shafted.
>>741809498>I kept notes and I was getting exact 50/50sThat's not how probability works.
>>741809589that is not even what i wrote

>>741809498> so i actually started keeping notes of the coin flips and ran the calculations, and yeah, it was fair 50/50 even though i felt like i was being shafted.>>741809721It is. The probability of getting an actual 50/50 heads tails split on even 10 flips is 25%. You are less likely to get a perfect 50/50 the more times the coin flips, ding dong
>>741809890You get closer to 50/50 the MORE OFTEN YOU FLIP THE COIN, you FUCKING IDIOT.
>>741809890okay, good one
>>741809980>but you get closerAnd simultaneously further away.Consider this, you flip 8000 coins, you are now at 3800 heads and 4200 tails. In order to even those odds you would need 400 heads in a row.....Vs if you just flipped the coin 4 times, and got 3 heads 1 tails, now you only need 2 tails which is statistically much higher probability than the 400 heads you'd need to hit the actual 50/50
>>741809498>when you take a 70% shotThe game trained me to not even bother taking a shot unless it was 80% or more and even then I'd only take it if I knew shit wouldn't hit the fan if I missed.
You're supposed to be building up multiple squads, not go all in on one so you can bitch and moan when they experience bad luck and die.Imagine a coach ragequitting an entire sports match because a player got injured.
>>741810138You don’t need to get them in a row retard
>>741810405If you want to close the gap you do, because as you continue flipping the coin, you'll get ever closer to 50/50 but the volume of the disparity reaches impossible levels of coincidence. The odds of you flipping 1 million coins and getting 50/50 is LESS than the odds of you flipping 6 coins and getting 50/50
>>741810261that is a wise precaution, but what people just fail to remember is that 95% chance to hit still means that 1 in 20 shots is going to miss, and then break their keyboard when it eventually happens. there just always has to be a contingency for the row of failures that will happen
>>741808941give an example of a game perfectly designed and balance WITHOUT the use of mods.
it's the first game, only every mission has a 5 turn timer because they couldnt figure out how to fix overwatch
>>741810936halo 1
>>741810936Zelda aLttP
>>741809498Yeah, but missing 4 95%+ shots in a row takes the piss
>>741810936Tetris
>>741809852The only true answer desu. It may not have as many mods but it's a far better game. XCOM2 felt like they were just pandering to the long war fags.
>>741811323This guy fucks>>741811221This guys too but not so much>>741811265Literally untouched.
>>741811410I've felt like XCOM 2 was just a worse xcom but with integrated mods to make a whole game. I never understood why fags like it so much
