She stole his scarf.
Serves him right. Fifa playing asshole.

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.
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…
We used to joke about people saying “I’m a gamer” when they meant Farmville, but if you just have each year’s FIFA and CoD games then you’re just as bad.
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.
Why would you buy the exact same game 11 times?
I like how him lying in bed is just him opening the door but flipped lol
Edit: this was meant to be an independent comment, not a reply, but I guess it kind of fits in with both him and his games being a copy
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!
nervously hides his Fromsoft games
Yeah the only reason I can think of that doesn’t make him lame is if he plays it on an export level
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.
The UK’s largest game store was just called Game, and these days you’re lucky if they’ve got actual games in stock. It’s mostly funko pops and other game related tat. The stores mostly seem located in the back of sports shops.
Physical games are in big trouble.
CEX seems to be doing alright though
Game and Gamestop went bankrupt many years ago here.
Physical games are absolutely declining but you can still buy them in regular electronic stores or online. Those options are and have always been cheaper than dedicated game stores anyways.
That’s if they’re actually available as physical games.
The biggest game of last year (Baldurs Gate 3) wasn’t, and the only other games I got were Talos Principle 2 and Thank Goodness You’re Here.
A lot of the other stuff I’d have usually bought on sale a bit down the line has been on PS Plus.
I have no idea about that, I just see the shelves occasionally when walking past them. I play exclusively on PC and our physical games have been non-existent for many many years.
Dude was missing FIFA 98 RTWC in his collection
Why does the guy have so many copies of the same game?
Sports fan brain
Damn, never seen a lemmy thread this weird before. People need to grow up and shed those game insecurities, let people enjoy their hobbies.
I don’t even play any of the games being mentioned, but I’m with you. The commenters here are getting so gatekeepy about, essentially, how other people use their favorite toys. This is fucking entertainment we’re talking about here. Is it really so inconceivable that many people just like those games? There’s a whole world of people beyond yourselves guys.
They get upset about it because it’s a trend in the industry that a lot of people hate. That particular series is a great example where the next game not only adds nothing but even generally takes stuff away from the previous title, but it keeps selling so it’s kind of becoming a trend in the industry for most series to just keep releasing the same garbage over and over.
So it’s less about enjoying a sports game that they are upset about, and more upset about encouraging the behavior of extremely low effort recycled releases constantly
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.
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?
I also hate people who find thing they like to do and enjoy it year after year. Unbelievable.
How dare they
