Doubt it would be any easier than CSGO
Counter-strike might be a better example since it requires the internet
Maybe try Valorant which is a "cartooned modern take" on the CS model.
Sorry, yes that's what I was thinking. Still terrible compared to CSGO/DOTA/LoL which all break 1M+
The popular FPS games like Overwatch, CS:GO, or Fortnite are easy to understand for someone who've never played them. Dota/LoL/Starcraft are completely different though -- you needs lots of hours of experience to even have any clue as to what's going on. Try watching it, and you'll see what I mean.
I sunk many hours of my life into this beautiful, beautiful game (starting at the tail end of 1.5, however!) and sometimes tune in to watch CS:GO competitive matches. I know Valorant is apparently stepping up as a spiritual successor to Counter-Strike, but I just love this game for it's emphasis on pure skill, and I really am surprised few other games have come as close as 1.6 to perfecting a team-based FPS that lands all players on an almost perfectly level playing field.
competitive CS is dead, it's CS:GO now.
Smash Bros and CS:GO can be great!
CSGO actually have a lot, overwatch or valorant are way better examples.
Yes. I used to play Counter-Strike (pre 1.6) at a fairly high level. But it was still basically goofing around compared to what is expected of even novice players in Counter-Strike these days. I guess a lot of people want to be the next esports/twitch star and unless you're a god gamer you're ruining their chances.
