Yeah, three steps forward one step back with the screwed up, greedy ass gaming industry.
I understand that the article is published in a gaming magazine, and that this is a gaming community, but damn… could they not explain what PvE is, or at least spell it out?
For those like me, PvE means “Player versus Environment” (when in a multi-player game there are challenges that are controlled by the computer and not other players.)
Edit: Downvoted by non-welcoming people.
Is that not what it means in this case?
What do you mean? That’s exactly what I said. PvE means Player vs Environment. Unless I misunderstood your question.
I meant for the Tarkov thing. Is it not like a regular PvE mode or something? I’m just not understanding why you are asking for the explanation, since you know what it means.
I see what you’re saying.
Before reading the article, I had no idea what PvE meant. I’m not a regular gamer. So, I looked it up and posted the explanation in my previous comment for the people who didn’t know either, just like me.
It’s a very common concept among gaming, and your complaint is because it wasnt defined in an article on a site catering specifically to gamers?
What.
You’re essentially repeating what I just stated. So what it’s a common concept among experienced gamers. Is this an exclusive community? If you asked me what HTTP meant, I’ll answer you. I won’t be saying “It’s such a common term. What.”
If you know what HTTP means but not PvE, that’s a you problem then. HTTP is a common term among tech circles, and if I read it on tomshardware or even on slashdot 25 years ago and didn’t know for sure what it meant, I wouldn’t feel compelled to hop on a discussion board to complain about them not defining a common term on a site that caters to tech circles that are familiar with it.
In 2024 we are literally a ‘highlight the text and right click’ away from figuring out what something means.
My point is that your complaint is redundant. And now even has me commenting in a redundant and needless manner.
Maybe a less derisive version of your comment without all the superfluous externalities would be “I wasn’t sure what PvE was, and just for anyone like me that wasn’t sure, it means Player versus Environment, which is just another way of saying playing against the computer.”
Perhaps the problem was the implied tonality of your initial post. Your edit on the top level comment claiming downvotes are from unwelcoming people is entirely off the mark and as equally adversarial as the original comment’s flavor.
What.
