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

Not only that, the drawing of her in the first and last panels are the same with a few changes, and the guy is the same in all three panels he is in, just with an extra arm drawn in the final one.

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..

She’s also wearing his pants in the 2nd panel. Has his face in the 4th.

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!

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

You touch my merino wool socks we are fighting!!!

Boils my blood someone would just toss socks away like that...

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...

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago

The NHL games are like crack cocaine for Canadians.

[-] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Racing games is just hockey on a track following an imaginary pack on a track.

Checkmate Sth Rogen.

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.

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.

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.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 2 months ago

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.

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.

Dude was missing FIFA 98 RTWC in his collection

Why is she removing pants in panel 2 that she isn't wearing in panel 1?

[-] SoleInvictus 23 points 2 months ago
[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 10 points 2 months ago

This is like a Far Side comic in that I'm sure it's actually funny, but I have no idea why.

[-] SoleInvictus 14 points 2 months ago

It's a Thai political reference. The guy in the middle picture is Suthep Thaugsuban, a Thai politician who lead anti-government protests and attempted to unseat their government in 2013. It's not in the linked article, but whistles were a major symbol of the protests.

@SSJMarx@lemm.ee tagging you in case you're interested.

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.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 34 points 2 months ago

I also hate people who find thing they like to do and enjoy it year after year. Unbelievable.

Damn, never seen a lemmy thread this weird before. People need to grow up and shed those game insecurities, let people enjoy their hobbies.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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

[-] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

I do not get it, everywhere in the world football is like a religion, whenever one is not playing in school or the neighborhood one was playing online with friends. Granted FIFA became shit over the years and people over hyper it, but most people grow out of it, get jobs, etc... It is only natural to find scumbags in popular instances. This meme could have any massive online game and still make sense then.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Well, any game that basically releases the same game with changed rosters every year with only minor improvements, or COD would work too

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

And it worse than that, since the player base naturally moves to the new release, so players of previous seasons have a harder time finding opponents.

The whole series of games is designed to make you buy a new one every year
