Hey mate. Dare you to take me on at Mariokarts. I'll have a red shell up your tail pipe before you can even think about singing your own praises, lol. 
So you're good!! Big deal. Better than most!! Big deal. I'm also bloody brilliant at F1 World Championship (N64) with every aid on but after crossing the line 1st I can't help feeling that it just felt like a scalextric car race with hyper-super handling. I had the safety net knowing that nothing was gonna go wrong if I went off or hit anyone & the wins felt very very empty until I moved up, turned off the aids, dropped down to manual shift. Hey sure, I hardly win anymore but, man, the feeling of achievement that's bestowed on you when you make the podium atleast. Catch my drift?
BTW; that was years back. I grew up long ago!!! |
lmao, "Prince of stabilizers". Totaly agree. You should see how amazing I am at darts when standing 1 foot away from the board, I get like 140 or 180every time.
Seriously though, A lot of people with very fast broadband connections take it for granted. They forget that the people they are playing may have some degree of lag as they dont have a god like connection. The faster the game action, the more the lag makes the differece between a hit or miss. So arcade shows it up much more than realistic or sim.
15 kills and 1 death would not be posible in a arcade style uberfurball if every player had equal chance to hit another plane.
