Why would you buy the exact same game 11 times?
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!
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…
Lmao
My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caught with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K. We call them male “candy crush” games.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
All of you in this thread need to look up “FIFA scripted games”.
Whereas, seeing Kick & Run == life-partner material.
I thought she was drugged in the first panel
I thought it was ‘loss’
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.
Why is she removing pants in panel 2 that she isn’t wearing in panel 1?
Did the creator of this meme really feel the need to swap the genders just because of the “all gamers are male” stereotype…
Have you even seen the original? I’ve only seen edits that were jpged to hell and all of them have a budge on the sweater wearer.
Also, it’s Fifa. I know women play video games, but I’ve only ever seen Dudebros play Fifa.
Yes. Next question
Why are you okay with that? It reinforces the stereotype and well… makes it harder for women to start gaming and be treated as normal.
You are reaching. Stop overthinking things and looking for a reason to be offended.
I think you’ve generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it’s just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn’t that she saw a stack of random games, they’re all FIFA – did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.
Why does the guy have so many copies of the same game?
