Unpopular opinion but games with community-driven multiplier (i.e. people hosting their own servers) is infinitely better than matchmaking multiplayer running on the dev/publisher's servers if only for the sole reason that players have a choice of what kinds of communities they want to build and what things other players should be allowed to do instead of being forced into a sterilized commercial monoculture. I should be able to say "KYS KYS" in game if the people I'm playing with are okay with it.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That and it's easier to make genuine connections with regulars. Nowadays for that you have to go out of your way to join a community discord or similar because nearly all multiplayer games are built to play with your existing friends.

i miss the days of shit talking in COD lobbies for hours. so funny hearing people cry about my perfect grenade throws ruining their killstreaks

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Classic pre-game lobbies

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

So unpopular...

[–] drath@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

A bit weird to use soyjak in this one, most mic munchers don't nor can have beards as they don't have fully developed balls yet

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On a side note I shouldn't be getting comm banned for swearing on a game that's not only rated M but also has swearing in the game.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree but just to clarify "kys" isn't swearing it's bullying

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's why it's a side note. Tangential but relevant.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Who makes fake kissing sounds in online games?! And why is it a bannable offence?

[–] icegladiator@lemy.lol 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't know that the offended wine moms of America got linked this post, sad that as an adult you can't control your feelings when someone makes jokes on a video game

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

offended wine moms of America

Too fucking funny, banned!

The problem wasn't the gg, it was the two letters before and after...

Come to think about it, I haven't been called that online in a long time.

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It took me a minute, but I just realized that your description could actually apply to two completely different slurs.

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 112 points 2 days ago (13 children)

I will never understand why the hell people tilt so hard for an online game. Aren't free time activities supposed to be fun?

[–] brown_guy45@lemmy.zip 46 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Offline games are mostly chill

But online games, even though people play it for fun but after sometime it gets too frustrating when you don't get the kills

That's why I left playing online shooting games, those made me more angry

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s funny too because it totally depends on the game and how it’s monetized and set up as well. I had some of the most fun in games in my life playing quick play in the original overwatch with my buddies, even though I almost exclusively prefer offline single player open world games.

My skill increased dramatically with our constant playing, I switched between DPS, tank, heals and really learned the roster. Not that far off from playing N64 super smash with those same friends in college and switching to a new character when you felt like you had learned one pretty well.

I would get annoyed at losing, but it was whatever, I wasn’t trying to rank in competitive mode. I work hard enough in life and work, I’m not playing the game to work harder.

That being said, unless someone was a Smurf or hacking, I never got super mad at other players for simply being better than me, usually the characters felt pretty balanced and if we lost it was because of bad teamwork or lower skill. All characters were available to everyone, the only monetary value was skins.

Then I played overwatch 2, and immediately there were battle pass characters locked behind paywalls or engagement, and those characters were seriously unbalanced. The game was “free to play” and “pay to win” right off the bat and I haven’t touched it again, even though I put countless hours into the first game. And that sour taste I have now makes it so I refuse to play any game with a battle pass.

Wtf they locked characters behind a paywall? They at least dont do that any more. I played OW2 for the first time last year and everything (playable) was unlocked.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah I think that change came after a ton of player backlash and people just no longer playing it so they changed the whole battle pass setup

It’s the same as parents going full tilt against the ref of a kids league soccer match.

Personally speaking, I think it's addiction to the game. I played the game Enlisted for a few years and became a veteran player. It irritated me so much when I got inexperienced players on my team and I was carrying. I insulted my team mates in the chat a fair few times out of frustration. It just wasn't enjoyable at all, yet I kept booting the game up every day.

Competitive online games really affect my mood, they make me so angry and I can't help it. It's unhealthy when a video game is actually ruining your day.

I just stick to singleplayer games now.

'Kys' simply means 'kisses' in Danish. I refuse to read it as any other meaning.

I never will buy an online game for 60 bucks.

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 93 points 2 days ago (1 children)

True, $70+ is becoming the new standard...

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 60 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only if you want the peasant option, the RealGamer™ edition starts at 100 plus dlc.

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Luckily I'm just a lowly fake gamer so I don't gotta worry about clout...

Ooh look, shiny skin!

I miss when we’d get French players on Xbox Live voice chat and playfully abuse in other in our own languages (I know enough French of that sort).

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

I used to love getting foreigners who've only learned English for weapons/vehicles that don't translate for some reason and swear words.

You'd get "eusbdheu sjot8fb skxbfh LE SNIPER RIFLE eudbdisn fjfbdbdju kshdbdbr LE ROCKET LAUNCHER fidndjdb skejfb behdhcui SHIT BASTARD FUCK BASTARD FUCK FUCK BASTARD SHIT"

If a low stakes game makes you so furious that you wish for someone to die, you should not be allowed to play these games.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 2 days ago

Agreed, they need to improve their skills enough to make it happen instead of merely passively hoping that the world improves itself.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (5 children)

By the way, what kind of editors do you use to create these memes? I don’t want to trust online editors or anything corporate. I hope you understand.

Use Krita

Okay, thanks then I'll watch tutorials like in the good old days. :3

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't make this particular one, but I usually just bash it out in a minute using Paint.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Like the material or the program?

(This was funnier in my head.)
