Current Events > hate how competitive games don't display losses or deaths anymore

(+) Yeah! (+)

e.g. shooters, fighting games, etc.

presumably to prevent newer players from being discouraged by their poor stats

it's like, how fucking soft are gamers these days

What game is this?

...what

I don't see this in any modern shooters at all.

It's more like preventing tryhards from having something to bitch about.

just finished playing about four or so hours' worth of ranked matches in soulcalibur vi and i can only see my wins

doesn't display my losses nor win percentage anywhere

recent call of duties also don't display your total deaths (excluding bo4)

Black Ops 4 doesn't show deaths or kill/death ratio on the in-game scoreboard, you have to scroll over someone's name to see their deaths. Plus, in objective game modes, it lists score and objectives captured before kills so they're seen first, and there's no public combat records so you can't show off your K/D ratio to other people.

Which is a good thing. The less people care about padding their precious K/D ratio so they can win what's essentially a virtual dick-measuring contest, the more they'll (hopefully) play the fucking objective and actually try to win the game. Every time I get a teammate who gets 30+ kills but less than 5 confirmed tags in Kill Confirmed, or 40+ kills but only 1-2 flag captures in Domination, it makes me want to punt the guy's head into the grand canyon.

I think it's a good thing. instead of obsessing over your K/D you can focus on the objective or being good

i'm not referring to any of this, dude

bo4 actually shows total career deaths, unlike ww2 (and bo3 iirc) for example, which is what i'm referring to (total/career stats, not in-game stats)

in a fighting game like tekken 7, as another example, while your career stats are available to you (and to you only), it's impossible to see your opponent's losses or win percentage - only their wins are ever displayed

Overwatch lets players hide their stats entirely so you can't even see how shitty your teammates are
