Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

That's just what it is.

If you're saying bad graphics, I say: Not everybody has a 10K PC and it adds nothing to gameplay If you're saying wacky shooting mechanics, I say: That's part of the fun. If you're saying toxic players, I say: Look at yourself (almost never getting toxic players, it happens, yes, but not nearly as often as in some other games. And it gets better the higher the rank)

I've wasted 6000+ hours playing this game, spent 2k+ eur for skins and stuff related to this game. I would be still playing this and maybe would have 7k+ hours already, and maybe even more money spent, oh and the rating here would be 10/10,if not the one thing - LAG AND TERRIBLE OPTIMIZATION. Well this game has terrible community and alot of cheaters, and all of those problens Valve doesnt care to take care of. Instead they are creating new skins to buy that they could make morey money,and they just dont care about the game. For that, i really wish this game stopped making so much money for them, maybe then they would do something about all those problems or even would create new counter strike game, which it feels now impossible to expect for. But all problems aside, the main thing which killed the whole fun for me was terrible optimization. Ive wasted many hours to find how to fix this outdated old engine game for both my gaming laptop and stacionary pc. Just couldnt. I had fps drops, mouse acceleration problems, mouse sensitivity changing randomly problems, screentearing and stuttering (both computer screens are 144hz,but my laptop screen was more pleasant to look at but still i felt the stuttering anyway, actually 144hz made the stuttering even more obvious). The list of optimization problems is big, i probably would use all the words limit here. So i just stopped playing. Ive sold all my skins. And valve will not get a single penny from me anymore. Exception would be new counter strike or half life (non vr) game, and that's it. Valve wake up, fix your shit and keep it together. 10+ years passed and you are still ignoring all this and making your fans angry. At least could use some anticheat but i guess that would kill even more fps and the game would crash and etc. But faceit somehow works, but i have even less fps in it than in just official matchmaking, and thats just terrible.

Im going to miss the simplicity and classical looks and sounds of this game tho. I used to be an awper, sniper player in the team. Im going to miss those crazy awp flickshots i used to do back in the day, even with lags shitting the whole performance and experience.

Amazing Game. Good as the first one, but in some aspects even better.

And while Valve made some bad updates throughout the years it still is one of the best games ever made

It'll never top 1.6 but it's one of the best hard and competetive and skill-needed games of all time!

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, also known as CSGO, is a popular first-person shooter game developed by Valve Corporation. Released in 2012, it quickly became a fan favorite and remains one of the most played games on Steam.

During CSGO gameplay, two teams-the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists-compete against one another in a variety of game situations. The objectives of each game choice vary, but generally speaking, the terrorists must set off a bomb or kidnap hostages, and the counter-terrorists must prevent them.

One of the key features of CSGO is its focus on tactical gameplay. Unlike other shooters, CSGO does not have health regeneration, meaning players must rely on their teammates to heal them. This encourages players to work together and communicate effectively, as well as emphasizing the importance of careful planning and strategy.

The game also has a steep learning curve and a high skill ceiling, rewarding players who put in the effort to grasp its mechanics. Weapon recoil, movement, and positioning are all important aspects of gameplay, and players who can perfect these abilities have a substantial advantage.

Professional players and teams compete in high-stakes tournaments for sizable prize pools in the CSGO's thriving esports industry. The game has a sizable player population and an active community thanks to its popularity in esports.

The game's microtransaction system, which enables players to buy cosmetic items and weapon skins, is one of its critiques. Despite the fact that these items have no impact on gaming, they have come under fire for giving the impression of gambling and encouraging addiction in some players.

The matchmaking system in CSGO has also come under fire for being unfair and vulnerable to hackers and cheaters. Despite Valve's attempts to enhance the system, many players continue to report matchmaking problems.

Despite these criticisms, CSGO remains a popular game with a devoted fan group. Its tactical gameplay, high skill ceiling, and E-sports scene make it a favorite among competitive players, while its community features and regular updates keep it popular.

From the last update, CSGO is free to play game (Original game about 300 THB). They made one of the most popular FPS games on Steam free in order to include the PRIME expansion, which enables players to play against no hackers, which is complete nonsense.

This only applies to prior CSGO owners. As we all know, prime was necessary for using the smartphone authenticator, so anyone could do it for free. They now charge for that and make the game free, so they didn't make anything free but simply increased the price to appreciate the game more.

CSGO is an all-around well-designed, entertaining shooter that provides an unique and satisfying gameplay experience. Serious players love it for its tactical gameplay, high skill ceiling, and competitive element, and its community features and regular updates help it keep a devoted following. Even though it has flaws, CSGO is still a timeless game that any fan of first-person shooters should play.

Worst one on the whole Counter-Strike franchise. This game has a way more aggressive focusing on tricks, like hearing footsteps (cannot be done without headphones which is s little cheating) or shooting physics. Let me explain: there's no special skills needed to play well in Counter-Strike: Source with any type of weapon cause any weapon shoots well. But here the developers thought it's not interesting and they downgraded it so you need to re-learn or even re-understand it. That's stupid especially while nerds are playing with AWP only and there's no chance you could kill them. Here's how the matchmaking works, you always will get similar or lower level players in your team, but the opposite team will be stronger, why? There's no answer! Why VAC cannot spot wallhackers? No answer, again. But there's a lot of wallhackers buying clear accounts with prime to terrorize people. What about drop? No drop on non-prime accounts. And It's not random as everyone thinks! The game just decides to throw a case or a skin to you or not, but it's not random. I hope Hidden Path Entertainment will become bankrupt soon and Valve will never colaborate with similar studios to create games!
