CS:GO still worth it?

[Sorokin]

I am new to steam, my friend has been raving about CSGO for so long, yesterday i checked some reviews and everyone was pissed off about "valve selling their soul" so i just want to know is it still worth it to buy?

You do not have to buy any skin/paints if you do not want to. You can just play the game. And the game is...well. Tactical, sometimes impossible to play thanks to your teammates(or because of yourself) and you will probably rage once in a while. The game is still fun, minus the exceptional cheater.

It can be fun but some people are very poor sports which can make the game not so worth playing

It's a very competitive game, therefore there are strict rules and a very committed playerbase so you'd better have a thick skin if you want to get into.
Long gone are the days of screwing around in CS:S.

About Valve's Soul, I've no idea on what people are venting about today. Yes, there are microtransactions and a very florid market about skins, but thankfully they're just cosmetic.

I personally play more rpgs but i geuss ill give it a shot when i have money again, I just dont want to buy it then i end up getting beaten because of pay 2 win, but if its only spray cans and skins then i geuss it wont make a difference

Not P2W at all, but it's likely you'll face very dedicated adversaries that might give you a hard time. If you've friends to play with, the better.

nothing in csgo that you can buy makes you better. everything you can buy is just cosmetic.

which brings me to the other side of this. people will point out that if you have no skins you have no skill either. you could call this "pay 2 have permission for value excuses". you can play like a god but you dont have a skin, so you are bad and the stuff like, the guy has $20000 skins, he probably just has a bad round but nice try.

then i put cs on my murtaugh list because i am too old for this garbage. well, 15 years of cs was enough anyway.

if you play competitive, make sure your team is full of people you know. at the end that was the only way i could play without listening to above said commentary.

I think you should buy it but you're definitely need time to be really good. It's not a game that you would just jump into and be good at. Different people have different skill levels. Some might play it for 10 hours and be super good, and then there's some- like myself, which has played 1000+hours but still a Gold Nova 2(not that good).

And as for the competitive scene, it's pretty big. I mean it's what people play this game for- very tactical/very strategy heavy game to say the least.

Skins? f*ck the skins man. IMO

Anyway, if you plan on playing the game- glhf

Thanks for the advice ill keep it in mind ;)

If you're planning on casually playing and just having fun with your friends then it's 100% worth it.
I have yet to encounter any ragers, although I only played Deathmatch and didn't even look at the chat.
