Viral video divides opinion via pxfuel \/ MediatonicA viral video is splitting opinions among people on whether or not \u2018tryhards\u2019 are ruining gaming, as players are saying that competitive games have progressively become less fun online. TikTokker \u2018mbeen22\u2019 posted a clip of Twitch streamer \u2018BOBBYWASABl\u2019 playing Fall Guys in a match of Hex-A-Gone. Throughout the gameplay, the broadcaster was actually holding up really well in the increasingly stressful mini-game. Meanwhile, Mbeen22 was commenting over the clip showing why he \u201cstopped playing video games\u201d since online titles get really competitive, even ones that are meant to be fun like Fall Guys. \u201cThis game has been out just one week and people are this tryhard at a party game,\u201d he said. \u201cYou lose the fun in a game when you turn everything so competitive Mbeen22 later admitted he did come off sounding \u2018salty\u2019 and clarified that he feels a game like Fall Guys will just end up \u201cstale and boring\u201d like Fortnite where casual players who queue up \u201care bound to lose.\u201d Still, his clip sparked a larger conversation among gamers outside of BOBBYWASABl or Fall Guys entirely. \u201cIt gets to the point where 90% of the players who win or even get top 10 are super tryhard,\u201d one person said on Twitter. \u201cSo casual players are forced to either find a new game, spend a lot of time in Load screens, or become a try hard themselves.\u201d Some people view tryhards negatively since more casual players can get instantly overwhelmed by people in matchmaking that are hard-pressed to win rather than to just have fun. But that\u2019s where an important distinction is being asked: is tryharding the same as simply trying to win. \u201cSometimes people just want to hop on, have a good time with their friends, play around. But next thing you know, they see sweats like this guy winning every single game he plays, then the game becomes unfun after five days,\u201d Mbeen22 said. It\u2019s here where people are split since there are players in the world who just approach games in a different way. For some people, shooting the breeze in a game is as far as it goes, to others, winning is the ultimate form of fun. \u201cIt seems that the guy that is playing the game is doing his best to win, and that\u2019s fine,\u201d another person said of the clip. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be the greatest in any game, people just like to try harder to win something that has a competition or competitive aspect to that game. If you want to play casually then go for it, but people play it differently from others.\u201d So, have tryhards ruined gaming?
