What's the point of playing a dead game like tictactoe? Queue times are forever, no battle pass, no microtranactions, no community, no hotas support. Clearly the only winning move is not to play.

Also it's not had an update in god knows how long, and it's fairly unbalanced. The meta is far too predictable, and even though there's barely anything that differentiates the classes it still seems like all of them needs a nerf.

I think people who are bored with the game are just playing it wrong. Imo, if we take into account the potential for user created cosmetic skins, it's better viewed as a kind of creative sandbox. I'm running a stars and squares theme at the moment that looks so good, but I've rarely seen anyone else use them.

I feel like comments like this are completely missing the point of the game β€” the metagame is what turned so many players away, and that's probably for the best, because we want people who are in it for the love of the game, not just winning. It's why reskins are great, because it forces me to view the game in a whole new light without having to sacrifice any of the core gameplay that I love.

Doesn’t the player who goes first always win anyway?

Wouldn't know, i gave up on the game a long time ago. Haven't kept up with the latest meta.

"I don't understand these guys. They're not following the objective. It's like they're not even playing the game."

"Oh they are playing a game, just not the one you're playing. They're playing a game where the goal is to piss you off."

"WELL THEY'RE REALLY FUCKIN' GOOD AT IT!"

I think it's simpler than that. They suck at the game and can't accept it.

Who would win? Stick man vs. Squiggly man with updated game rules for casuals

Ever since Games for Windows Live went down Lost Planet 3's multiplayer has been bricked. I know nobody cares but me but dangit Sony please fix it!

And on the other side I've been ddosed multiple times for trying to start a casual conversation in CSGO deathmatch lobbies.

Some people are deserving of titles like sweat and tryhard.
