CS:GO has very effective latency compensation up to 300ms where every bullet you shot is checked against how far back in time you are lagging against the server, so you’re essentially firing time-travelling bullets and killing people in the past, making their present die.

I’m in an article where a few thousand people downloaded a fake cheat and got VAC banned from CS:GO.

It’s been shown by who and when? You’ve literally made up numbers there...

Check out my Steam profile and you’ll probably understand why I feel I have better knowledge about this stuff than most people.

I didn’t say “You cry cheaters because you must be bad.” - you’ve entirely derived that yourself.

I find that common word of mouth from the gaming community is usually massively uninformed, even in the PC gaming community

CS:GO has a very nice latency compensation system, if you understand how it works then you’ll understand why 5 bullets in the face didn’t work.

VAC is automatic, if your hack is on the VAC detection list you will get banned, nothing can stop it.

These are thousands of first-time people getting banned. Remember, you can only get VAC banned once. If these people were already cheaters, they wouldn’t have been able to connect to a VAC secured server to begin with.

VAC will catch you, the only way to not get caught is to pay for a cheat during the short time it is VAC negative, which gives you about a day of hacking before you risk getting caught and being no-longer capable of cheating on that account.

Articles like this show that if you were to make cheats easily accessible then people are very likely to download them and get themselves banned, it does nothing to describe the real situation with cheating.

VAC ban within the CSGO context; which means they cannot play on CSGO VAC secured servers.

Cheating is the single main thing that keeps you away from the multiplayer component of PC games? Then how do you know there are cheaters?

The PS Vita was launched? When did that happen?

I accept everything you say here. But you should check back with the GBA castlevania games; they are definitely cartoony (circle of the moon less so, but it’s cartoony compared to symphony of the night)

It’s even harder going from FFTA to FFT

Who wants to actually play it to the end and then talk garbage about it? Or talk garbage about it without mentioning FFT?

This is me as well. FFT is a very different game to FFTA and isn’t as pick-up-and-play friendly. Much more of a slog to go through.

The judge laws was probably the worst part of the game. However, there’s the Jagds which removed the laws - replacing them with the high stake of losing a character - and you can manipulate and change the laws with the law-cards during active game-play.

You’re passing on a game you’ve never played based on what you heard of the story and comparing it to a completely different game?
