Except the video I shared is about that person obsessing over the innocuous things piker does, and I posted it as a response to yet another one of the innocuous things he is obsessing over.

The craziest part is actually the intense parasocial behavior displayed by all parties involved, imo. There's nothing in this clip that sticks out to me as abusive, and nothing about this person that would compel me to scrub frame-by-frame to confirm some preconceived notion of them.
Anyone who has a strong feeling about this clip is exhibiting Kline levels of unhealthy parasocialism.
I just don't know what OP expected.
"This is how this mechanic should work" is an opinion any way you'd like to slice it, chief.
It's ok to say you prefer more realism, but it's still a preference.
nickelback is the most popular band in the world
I have absolutely no clue how you're determining that but id guess with whatever metric you're using it hasnt been the case since at least 2008 - and even then, probably only in the top 50 in the US only
Lmao Jesus christ
The concrete reasons you've mentioned so far are essentially rationalizations of your subjective experience. "Bullet sponge" isnt a 'concrete' metric, and neither are a lot of your other complaints. Again, you're absolutely free to hate the game - but pretending as if your feelings on the subject are somehow universally constant and the many people who disagree are just making their opinions up is fantasy.
The only one insisting on their review as an objective fact is you.
Don't get me wrong, that'd be awesome too. But when it's two against 50 like that, it's better to force them to retreat than to escalate when you don't need to.
People might be upset that nobody threw any haymakers but its honestly far smarter to do what they did. Physically assaulting those nazis would have gotten a gun drawn (the uniformed one literally reached for his in the first 2 minutes but thought better of it).
Successfully interfering with the arrest without getting shot or arrested yourself is possibly the best you can expect from these interactions.
A bunch of people came in to say they thought it was good - op is the only one casting accusations.
Honestly, it's fine - op is entitled to their opinion. I just dont think a lot of people agree with it. People swear by Fallout New Vegas being amazing but I couldn't get into it. I understand being made to feel like you're missing something or not playing a game right for your lack of enjoyment. But if I came in hot with a 'you are all fucking delusional for not seeing how bad this game is' I would rightly be laughed out of the room.
You should have more important things capturing your attention than whether this interaction constitutes dick behavior or not.
I was taught to use the place command the same way he's using it here, so idk what else to tell you. Maybe im a dick, too? If you don't feel as strongly about me cosigning this behavior as you seem to about piker in this clip, i don't think it's unfair to label that reaction as parasocial.
Its not the conclusion you're coming to that's the problem, it's the level of importance you seem to be assigning to it.
