Yes Kill/death ratio is a factor.. If u talk a lot of bs about busting @ss in a game ur kill ratio better be higher than ur deaths. If u nice u better have a 2.00k/d ratio. No matter what who ever has the better kill/death ratio is the better player because it means hes way more consistent than the guy who doesnt.

glennc5276d ago

it is really all i care about. the ranking, points etc. don't really bother me as long as my kills are higher than my deaths. it is a great motivator when you first start playing a game.

rdgneoz35276d ago

K/D ratio is a factor in most cases. Though in objective based matches (capture the flag/treasure, protect this target / person, ...) its not really the best for determining how good a person is. You can have a high K/D ratio and still lose repeatedly if you don't work well with your team. Also, people camping spawn points isn't really that skillful.

Spenny and Shaw fight lasted way to long... tell them to kiss and make up outside of the podcast.

John Shaw was correct but he pisses me off becuase he has to flame and condescend about everything. John Shaw you sound fat and kiddy and I can whoop your ass in real life. You probably can't run around the track once without being out of breath.

Major Kanimo5275d ago

john shaw kinda dragged it on way to much, but spenny did get put in his place. It still didnt demand the 30 min arguement and hearing john shaw b!tch and moan, its like hearing my mother b!tch at me.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 3h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff218320h ago(Edited 20h ago)

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto19h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
