i hate CSGO 

I don't play videogames, dislike

As a sliver 1 player, I relate too much to this video, once you stop having fun you end up messing about in comp and meeting the most random people ever. Having people 5 stacks in sliver with their MG friend smurfing is what annoys me the most me but once be-friending them leaves you with a fun game after everything. Great video dude, keep it up :)

You may have these feelings now but just wait till CSGO 2 comes out.

I play csgo casual matches. That way I can't lose ranks from losing a match, and I try to end on a high note anytime before I get off. That keeps the game fun for me. This video reassures me that avoiding competitive gamemodes like the plague is the right choice; at least for me personally.

"Dealing with some guy that's from like argentina that randomly decided to connect to a server from the united states" The servers here are hot garbage. actually we dont have any servers. we only have the brazil ones wich are getting their copper harvested

I tried getting into CSGO multiple times, but the lack of basic fps features, the incredibly sweaty enemy’s, the low time to kill, the recoil that is impossible to learn and much more. I played 23 matches today and got 5 kills. It’s especially infuriating because I am pretty good at MW2.

I am now in my "I watched a video and I wanna get back into the game" phase

OH MY GOD STRYXO SATURDAY UPLOAD HE DID IT!

I'm pretty sure the last stage of playing CSGO is being nostalgic for it, join a match and then half way through that match of getting stomped up it's Juan Drag time baby.

There's no teamwork despite being a "tactical" team shooter. the community is extremely hostile towards new players, voice chat is stupid not having an open mic optioning, graphically it looks like a PS1 game, hit damage is extremely inconsistent and matches are extremely drawn out. The only reason this game is still around and played is because its free, that's it.

What I hate about this is that when you say something like “The controls is bad” or “This game is unfair” some A-hole is going to tell you “Sounds like a you problem” “You’re just not good enough”

I remember seeing a post somewhere saying “There are three types of fun games: - the games you have fun while playing it (eg Pokémon) - the kind you feel the fun afterwards (eg dark souls) - and the kind where it’s just something to do” I feel games like CS and LOL are the third type, as the gameplay is stressful and the reward isn’t worth it. But then again it’s more the people and my skill level that makes it not fun, because overall the games do work as intended and in a way that makes sense, but even the spite of those yelling at me to “get good” isn’t enough motivation for real progression.

6:34 - League player here and you're 100% right. Almost everything you said in this video is so relatable, even though the genres are completely different. It's the textbook definition of a love-hate relationship.

LMAO 02:08 some days ago I (brazilian) decided to give solo queuing a go and procceeded to join a game with a guy from the USA and 3 other latinos from spanish speaking countries. Neither did the USA guy knew how to speak Portuguese or Spanish nor the other 3 guys knew how to speak English or Portuguese - which means I was the only one who understood the 3 languages. USA guy just said "let's roam the map and try to get kills" and the manitos did not have a clue of what they were doing. Believe or not, we lost Fun game 👍

I don't even PLAY CSGO why am I here.

Personally I don't like CSGO for different reasons. For me within each mach it's a cycle of 1)sneak around the map 2) either I get sniped out of nowhere or I notice the enemy first, panic and miss. Either way I result in dying. No matter how I play if I wanna to do quick match (not competetive) it's really really sweaty imo. I much prefer games that require less skill because I'm a bad baby gamer. I really enjoy video games of all types but if I have to rely on my godawful reflexes I just can't find them fun. Especially when everyone is super competetive. A lot of the fun comes from the Pavlovian response to getting kills (if not winning). And just because I don't like feeling bad at games doesn't mean I don't like challenge, I love difficult single player games where the whole point is about improving and mastering the game. However I can't get the sense of improvement when skill based matchmaking is always putting me slightly below everyone else in the match. I like to feel rewarded by video games and for me many competitive games can't let me do that because I'm always behind the curve.

This is the exact same cycle I went through with Rainbow Six Siege. I finally stopped playing practically full stop at the beginning of 2019. Though I fully stopped revisiting it somewhere in 2020. Four years of utter pain was enough. Though I say that, I did have a lot of fun with the game. There are a few clutches I pulled off I will never forget, especially my first 1v5 which happened at like 2:30 in the morning.

I was NOT expecting that ending

Niko actually played so well, but ya know deagle wiff moment

csgo is that game where i fucking suck, my teammates fucking suck, and my enemies are always a bunch of people with the same skill as shroud

Now we need a video about Valorant

average csgo fanboy tries not to shit on valorant (impossible)

I'm graduating from high school this year and the student council thing or whatever (they're pretty useless the only thing theyve managed to pull off was managing a funding to get microwaves for the school) has finally managed to put the in-house eSports competition together that they've been trying to for like 3 years now and me and a couple friends got completely infuriated that these 15yo clowns chose to have a valorant competition but no csgo, so guess the only way I can rek them is on chess

I have been stuck at Silver 2 for years now. Almost 200 comp wins and still silver 2. the doo doo rank system and random toxic greifers being more and more frequent are the things I hate most. But I still love it. And still play it. It is a great experience at the end of the day

This video is the exact same for the average TF2 fan. Experience and love, leaving and hate, and then coming back eventually.

Stryxo: Valorant Actually sucks! Me an intellectual: "looks at r34 fanservice" it "sucks" indeed as well as "blows"

babe wake up new stryxo upload also why do people spend millions of dollars on a digital knife? i mean emplemon made a great video on stuff like that but it still baffles me

Sounds like me with league of legends. I think every competitive game is an experience of some sort.

i like rainbow six siege because of the single bullet head shot kill mechanic, which allows 1v5 clutches without teamates doing any damage if you are skilled or lucky enough

I could not have said it better, although I actually do play it to some extent consistantly, mainly at night with friends for like 2-3 games. But that last line about valorant, damn you woke up and decided to speak facts.

My cycle: Step 1: not playing cs go Step 2: wanting to play with friends Step 3: remembering its cs go Step 4: not playing cs go

I've been playing csgo for 7 years and i can say that i've seen it all! From moments in which i felt like Coldzera,ranking up in a match where i aced 4 times(yes that actually happened, i cant belive it either) to moments in which i just wanted to just completely destroy my PC because i got completely trashed on by a kid which has nothing else better to do than to play with wh I've been through almost every rank that is in the game and after all this i still feel like a noob This is one of the reasons i like csgo so much and also one of the reasons why i hate it so much, the game is one of these games that are easy to learn but extremely hard to master.I tried to master it for so long and i still cant do it I'm afraid that if i continue trying i'm going to go crazy...

Man I'm glad I've never felt the desire to go back to CSGO since they reworked the ranks and dropped me by 6 ranks in a single match, thank you GabeN

Cs for me has always been about the people, its made me meet some of my best friends and helpt me connect with many amazing people unlike any other game out there. I barely play it now days and I really don’t know what could get me properly back into it anymore. I feel like they have made plenty of improvements over the years(new hitboxes, better visability, shortmatches, trustfactor etc) until they make match making more meaningful like a top 500 or something including harder ranks it just feels pointless, also it takes way to long to rank up compared to other games. The marchmaking system and elo system is the only advantage valorant has on cs and if they could just fix that it would easily be the best.

I played CSGO once for like 10 minutes and it was, BY FAR, the worst FPS game I’ve ever played. The fact you can’t sprint NOR aim is insane 🤮🤡

To fix games where pro players know every minute detail about the maps.. have randomised maps? I wanna see a game do randomised maps to see if they can look just as good as a prebuilt map?

I'm 100% with you Sometime I fucking want to die when my teamates are nova 1 and ennemies are global or "52 kills with 27 hours played" And sometime I really want to do a game with my friends to experience once again feelings of clutching or comeback

As a latin american i can tell you my friend that we are always cracked in a certain free game cuz we broke

Are you good at the game, me "No" so you are bad at the game me "No" this is a loop that all gamers have been in

I escaped this cycle within 3 attempts of trying to come back to the game. But I have played it almost my entire life, so I am not very surprised to be incapable of returning. However, I am proud of myself for doing so, because I fell in love with other franchises such as Dark Souls, Risk of Rain, Guilty Gear and so on.

So basically what stryxo is trying to tell us in this video is that he's a masochist?

I remember playing this so much with a few friends almost a year ago, sadly those people weren't that good, still haven't touched the game, might try to play it again.

So glad I went there on the spot. Front row too. One of the greatest memories ever.

You're about to start the cycle for me

I can relate. I'm playing like twice a week and I haven't touched ranked in ages, bc after a 3 weeks break in my exam period, I somehow ranked in Supreme despite being DMG before that. Now I'm at an elo where people expect me to know lineups and I just can't. RIP

I think that cycle can be applied to every competitive multiplayer game. It has been for me at least. I believe people go back to these games because of the satisfaction. Defeating a human player with a similar skill to you is a lot more satisfying than defeating an AI in some singleplayer game

It looks like an amazing game, and I'd like to play it. I've tried it on my computer, but my computer can barely run Google sometimes, so I couldn't even do anything. I also tried it on my friends computer, which ran perfectly, but I just sucked lol. One day, I'll try it, one day I'll get better at computer lol

Honestly I would be 40% better at csgo if it just looked better, I’m really surprised no one talks about it especially nowadays, maybe the graphics were impressive at the time but nowadays it’s not about good graphics, it’s about being able to see what’s happening on my screen and csgo is just not designed with that in mind which is crazy bc tf2 did have visual clarity in mind but when it came to csgo they were just like “who cares if the enemies blend into the background half the time”

I think the absolute worst feature in CSGO is tagging (slowing down when hit by a bullet). I just took damage, so you're going to reduce my MOBILITY too!? It just makes it easier to die! No fun whatsoever getting stuck, literally unable to move faster than a snail because someone's shooting at you and you 100% will die unless they start missing and you're suddenly able to walk again.

I will always say: CSGO was great in the early days because people had to be creative or learn. Today? Too many smurfs, pros and people that study pro meta. It's just not fun anymore when you get your head blown apart in literal milliseconds as your brain registers that somebody is in your line of sight, IF they are in your line of sight. I missed when the game was more about tactics across all equipment rather than if you don't use the 1 shot kill guns or ARs you might as well be praying to RNJesus that the bullets line up.

Will never get into CS.

Youre praising this game in such a way that it made me feel like its a damn delicious cake.

Dude I swear me and you have so much in common, I wish we could chill and play some games of something

I agree with this and the rank up system i stopped playing cs go when i got silver 2 After 125 wins when 75% of these matches i was first or second in the leaderboard so i felt like i was smurfing even though i just couldnt rank up

i just play with my friends sometimes, its the most fun i have in gaming, i am the worst player ever but its so fun playing with them

I downloaded the game and tried playing it, I never won a match still after 3 months. I ended up a 1 vs 1 in the mode where you drop on the sland with players and I got aimbotted and wallhaked. Made me feel so mad and sad that I didn't touch my pc for 2 weeks. I hate it now with all the hackers and cheeters for a new player like me, I can't play other games because of performance issues..

Same bro. I don't even play comp in cs because all of the other gamemodes are tons of fun aswell

maaaaan you get me nostalgic

I stopped playing cs:go after i top fragged 20 or so comp matches in a row with half of those having 3 or less deaths but i was still silver 1. No matter how well or bad i did i could not leave silver 1 and when i finally got to silver 2, the first match i played i won but did not top frag and was placed back in silver 1

That one guy that is absolutely cracked is me and ,yes I am cheating.

I had managed to become a Legendary Eagle in 2020 by playing almost only Agency.... I love this map... and when I reached the goal, I uninstalled the game and that's it.

This is literally me in any multiplayer shooter

I quit the game about 3 years or so ago because they refused to do anything about hackers.

God damn Stryxo I feel for u man

moves like jagger dubstep remix (bass boosted 8d binaural audio)

Honestly, I felt that way until I went back to CS:S, I found bhopping around on deathmatch servers was a lot more fun than ranking in CS:GO just because everyone on CS:S is playing for fun more than playing to rank. That and I still have yet to find a more satisfying movement system than CS:S's bunny hopping.

I feel like I have a lot of critical misses, things that would have hit in a higher tick or whatever server, and also I just suck, that too.

Hah... no matter how much I want to have fun with friends in Valorant, I'm constantly getting reminded of the countless bullshit I encounter within the match, that I want to play csgo instead and have fun...

best gamemode in cs is and will always be deathmatch or even casual (if you want that bomb experience) i had actual FUN playing those modes it was just everyone having fun

Stryxo is gonna freak out when he finds out that valorant is literally csgo and LOL's child

Me: "i hate csgo" my friends: "1 more match?" Also Me: *Why not?*

I have a similar experience playing Ark Survival Evolved. Me and my friends will get back into the game, go on raids and fuck with people but inevitably you WILL be raided and lose everything. Then we don’t play for 3-4 months only to repeat the cycle.

Imagine being an Xbox player, wanting to get the CSGO experience on console. Waiting years for Crossfire X, then it comes out and it just FLOPS! Heartbreaking!

This is the biggest M. Night Shyamalan plot twist i've seen in a while.

everyone: CoMpEtIvE iS VeRy GoOd me: *plays independently by myself because no one listens to me lol*

title: "I hate csgo" video: "Now I don't like the game, But I love it."

Basically everything you said about CSGO is how I feel about R6

I actually like Valorant more than CSGO. Enemies in Valorant are easier to see, Valorant has better ping system and the gun mechanics are easier to learn. For a while I was stuck in the same loop you described in this video, except with Valorant instead of CSGO. I might get frustrated then quit the game, but after a while I will remember how exciting it was to clutch a round so I start playing it again. But recently I stopped playing both CSGO and Valorant completely because I like single player games more

In CS:GO, when I had around 10 hours in the game, I was alone against 3 people and I thought that I would be gone. I snuck to an area to plant the bomb and then defended it with my life. I managed to kill 2 of them before the bomb went off while the third one was just wandering around. It felt SO good to pull that off and made me feel like a pro. CS:GO is what I usually retreat to when the TF2 bots become unbearable.

I got a ad od an automatic clip maker playing cs:go at the start of the video

Bro that outro song slapped, what is it called?

I have 100 hours in CS:GO, yet I still have never played anything besides casual. I think I have a problem.

The loop at 2:26 is EXACTLY how I am with Rainbow Six Siege.

As someone who plays Valorant I’m just curious. Why do you hate Valorant? I just want to understand this topic more.

What's the outro music? Me likey

I may or may not have had something interesting typed out but I deleted it because it all boils down to "god i hate valorant for every reason imaginable"

was onboard till you dissed valorant

I personally dislike csgo, because the movement is trash and I like going fast

Csgo EU feels unplayable, you’ll either get cheaters or extremely toxic people. Drives me away every time i go back to it

The loop is me but with siege

Hey man my highest is also MGE, had it a couple of days ago

My whole league of legends career

If you are looking for another competitive game like csgo then Onward is the greatest thing. It’s a VR game but the league is incredibly intense

Genuinely curious to CS players because I don't get it - at all. The lack of ADS in this game makes it so incredibly unappealing to me. Why does it not bother you or better yet why would someone prefer to play an FPS like this?

OH SHIT BOIS STRYXO UPLOADED

another upload W

this is my exact feeling about dead by daylight, unlike csgo, dbd actually has major flaws to the point where sometimes it's literally unplayable, so i watch content related to dbd, i feel nostalgic, i install it, lose 3 matches in a row with 2 of them because of 1 stupid guy deciding to befriend the killer and fucks all of the team, i get frustrated, i uninstall

This is pretty much my exact relationship with dark souls 2

why did u pick my country as an example for ping difference that caught me so off guard LMAO

There are two reasons I don't play CS:GO: I'm not that big on pvp shooters, I'd have to uninstall Payday 2 to have the space
