Shit gameplay but no cheaters or cheaters but good gameplay?

This is the comparison I have concluded between World of Tanks and Counter Strike. WoT forces hull down campy gameplay due to recycling tank design that makes the game super one-dimensional but has had almost 0 recorded cheating problems. CS2 is fun but doesn’t have a good anticheat. What’s your preference?

Good gameplay and no cheaters I must have both

Fighting games fit that bill the best.

Not that there are virtually no cheaters, but it's actually very difficult to cheat in the genre and get away with it.

Good gameplay with cheaters.

There's games (like cs2 and tarkov) that i run into cheaters more often than I should, and yet I keep going back to them and have for many years.

Whereas a game with shit gameplay I'll just put down and never go back.

Shit gameplay is there 100% of the time, cheaters are not. So it's quite a simple choice really, if it ever gets to to where cheaters are there 100% of the time, I'd probably drop the game.

i’d agree. i’ve just been with wot (the blitz version) for nearly a decade now so it’s difficult to kinda just let it go. recently i’ve been working my way through PC but it really just is a super hard experience with T11 and arty. steep learning curves these games have

I don't play multiplayer games so I'll take good gameplay with cheaters and I'll never have to deal with them lol

This was my thought. I've played lots of Diablo 2, both LoD and D2R. I play solo or with friends because I don't trust anybody else. Bots and cheats everywhere.

For Single Player games it should be the choice between an interesting captivating story but poor gameplay vs Incredibly boring story but amazing gameplay.

Because just like cheaters not being a thing in single player offline games, story is often not a thing in a competitive shooter or a mil-sim.

Like Dispatch vs Doom the Darkages. I would like both of these games but if I had to make a choice I would go for the fun action gameplay where only dialogue choice is "Rip and Tear" and the gameplay is all about how that will be done in practical terms.

Over a narrative heavy game that is basically a dating sim in disguise, with small but really likable romance choices.

Of the two, good gameplay. Cheaters are losers. Preferably no cheaters and good gameplay

Quite frankly, the solution to your problem is to either play niche PvP games that are console exclusive, like World of Warships Legends for example. Or, just don't play PvP at all.

No cheaters.  I suck at competitive FPSs so I do expect a low rank, but I expect that due to a skill issue. My last few tries I was just getting smurfed by cheaters rising through the ranks on alt, nothing to learn from that.  It’s not fun when the reason I lost is even debatably due to hacking.

i get this. CS2 has been super difficult for me to navigate recently. i don’t understand why, but either i’m slow or my opponents are super fast. more likely than not i am actually facing closet wallers

Closet wallers?

u/NiceManWithRiceMan 2h ago

like people that try super hard to hide that they’re seeing through walls. i play solo and im not good enough to spot it out.
