Chiki Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I know there's a handful of people who do like this kind of playstyle, but from what I've seen the vast majority of people here are against it. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aether911 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I think it's because of the elitist and kind of arrogant image LTC and LTC players have. Edited June 4, 2013 by Aether911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiki Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 According to a scientific study conducted by Prof. B.F. Skinner, LTC players live longer lives on average, have higher IQs, and mostly have PhDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 B.F. Skinner researched LTC? But according to Adler, LTC is a terrible way to prove your superiority, and is therefore UNACCEPTABRU Also according to Murray, there is no such needs as Turncounts. Or the Press. And according to Jung, LTC is a result of the Efficiency Archetype, the positive side being Galeforce, the negative side being Canto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I don't exactly HATE LTC, but I do find it to be an incredibly boring and dumb way to play the game. What's the point of rushing through chapters like a madman, besides bragging rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of rushing through chapters like a madman, besides bragging rights? It's generally harder (assuming you're consistent about achieving lowest turns and not just minimalistically moving Seth from one part of the map to another with a Javelin) and keeps you busy thinking, planning and rehearsing strategies, in comparison to taking your time. Turn counts are also pretty crucial when it comes to deciding which units are better. Exclude turn counts and things get pretty foggy and unclear.

Da Bear Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm not a fan of it because 2 or 3 posters (I won't specify) talk about it like it's the best way to play. I wouldn't even mind that but these posters will occasionally seem to assume that because it fits their views, LTC is the best way to play for everyone.

Chiki Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 It seems hard to decide which units are good without turncounts. Can you imagine how high up characters like Donnel would be 5-6 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Most people who hate LTC do so because they feel it invalidates their style of playing, or worse, calls it incompetent. This can be seen when people are super upset about their favorite character not being so good after all. Sometimes they need to justify that it's lame, or that the people playing it are lame.

Snowy_One Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 1) Because tier list players tend to talk like LTC is the only way to play and will often insult players who try to tier otherwise. 2) LTC players have a tendency to be VERY elitist. 3) Many of them seem to be incapable of fathoming character-rankings without obsessing over LTC. 4) They tend to be willing to insult other players teams for using non-optimal characters. 5) To them it seems (at least far too often) that there is only people who play for absolute lowest turncounts ('Real players') and people who only play with big-titted girls and do nothing but dally around on maps like idiots. No middle ground at all. That's why I hate LTC and LTC players and tierers. If LTC was 'just' another style of play I wouldn't have a problem with it. But to many LTCers it's the only style of play and even trying anything else labels you as an incompetent moron. It's like being paired with the guy who obsessively grinds in arena's in WoW in a bout of AV. He is MORE than glad to insult you for every little mis-step and call you a 'n00b' because you died once when you 'shouldn't have' and tell you to leave unless you spent months grinding out the best gear while ignoring his own faults and mistakes (which are, of course, because of you and never because of him or, at best, because the other team is being cheap).

Thor Odinson Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm fine with the playstyle in itself and I enjoy videos of it, but certain LTC players could stand to be less elitist about it. Just a bit. It's kinda annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiki Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Wasn't somebody able to turn Donnel into an immediate 1RKO machine with the right partner and tonics? I've tried; Donnel's stats are too shit even with forges, Frederick pair up and tonics. It's only true for Sumia and others. Why does it matter if Donnel is unusable? He is an unusable piece of trash and anyone should be glad not to use him. Edited June 4, 2013 by Chiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJWalker Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Why does it matter if Donnel is unusable? He is an unusable piece of trash and anyone should be glad not to use him. Not sure if sarcastic or not. There are people who do actually say things like this without being sarcastic. Again, I'm not sure if you're one of those people. But it's the main reason why some people hate LTC and anyone who plays by it. For me, LTC feels like a incomplete experience. It seems that to play LTC, you'll have to miss half the content of the game (mostly story, due to not getting most supports and stuff). It feels like a very limited way to play.

dondon151 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 at least two of the people who have posted so far in this topic are usually elitist assholes to non-LTC players also it is very american to have the opinion that there is no best way to play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
