Just to clarify, I'm not looking down on casual players. There are a number of games that I just play casually and don't go hardcore with it (Baldur's Gate is actually one of them). I do kinda look down on new school gamers who crap on old school games because they lack quest markers and other hand holding under the guise of "QoL". It's like in that video I posted. Fallout is actually not that hard or opaque if you just look around a little and put some effort in. I don't think that someone who curb stomps Fallout 4 (an absurdly easy game even with difficulty mods) is a more skilled gamer than someone who stumbles through classic Fallout. However, I've often seen an attitude from the former where they think they have crazy skills for their munchkin build that rolls the game but write off the classic games as "unplayable" trash.
I think that is the problem with people who always need to compare. Am I better than this one, is that one better than me? There are plenty of competitive games, with ranks and all. There is really no need to apply that to single player games. Unless people agree on a competition.
Also, some people don't understand the difference between a personal challenge and a competition.
Or the difference between "I personally don't like this game/mode/difficulty/UI" and "This is complete shit".
