Strategy and skill based maybe

Bayonetta or Virtua Fighter 5 are the most skill based game I have ever played

zootang5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

What skill though? Title doesn't even make sense?

malandra5533d ago

the most skill based games are still Pacman and Tetris

PG_Rage5531d ago

Skill based game for tournament play.

jazzybaboon5533d ago

yoostar2 takes more skill to be an awesome actor. I don't know of anyone who has perfected it yet.

SC2 is a just a spamfest. But a fun spam fest.

Slashbee5533d ago

Must be Bronze level, then.

JsonHenry5533d ago

Platinum in 2v2. Gold in 1v1.

Not trying to sound elitest or anything, but don't talk about things like that until you hit diamond level, which is actually much easier than it sounds. At gold level, people are still piling resources in the thousands late-game or only using one hit or miss strategy in every matchup.

Actually, strategy doesn't matter at all at that level. It's the mechanics, especially macro, that does. You can easily 4 Gate your way into Diamond, as long as your macro stays perfect.

Some may say killzone 2 is more skill based since many people raged quit because it was to hard or some may say Gears takes skill because of the massive amount of bullets it takes to kill someone or COD because you die super fast.

I do believe that starcraft 2 takes skill but a different type of skill.

Ducky5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

CounterStrike, TeamFortress and Quake took skill as far as shooters go. Can probably throw in Wolfenstien and Tribes as well.

Starcraft has a fair balance of strategy and quick-hands. It is debatable if it is the most skill based game, but it probably is up there.

QuantumMechanic77d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht77d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198977d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Michiel198976d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
