When did you grow out of online multiplayer, /v/?
tonight
when the games turned into MTX vehicles
2013 with this giant turd
>>720273038I didn't grow out of it, I grew up old enough to appreciate it.
I certainly stopped playing competitive games regularly after CSGO migrated to CS2. But I still enjoy playing Chivalry 2 because it's more or less a casual experience.But I'm still looking for something else to play since I've unlocked everything in Chiv 2.Otherwise, currently enjoying Vintage Story.
>>720273038When I stopped having friends to play with.
>>720273139so many people got damned to eternity with this and csgo
>>720273038When zoomers started showing up. Nothing worse than playing a game with someone and trying to be respectful only to find out later they're a subhuman zoomer.
>>7202730382019 at ripe age of 22..
>third worlders that don't communicate>zoomers that don't stop communicating>widespread use of aimbots>"pro" streamers reaping casual matches to farm clips for ad revenue>emphasis on competitive balance over any kind of fun or enjoymentI haven't stopped yet but surely I will soon.
I still play online multiplayer. I don't play online competitive games.
>>720273534Yep. It's winding down for me. The last time I really was having consistent fun was on DoD:S community orange map and tower servers '08-12..
>>720273643both are shit
>>720273534>zoomers that don't stop communicatingThey all imitate youtubers and streamers reacting for content instead of actually communicating any information or even talking normally.
>>720273038When multiplayer games stop being about socialization.
>>720273038Around when I got 27-28, I think. I think there's something that clicks in your brain around that age that makes you realize accolades in a videogame mean nothing, and the only part that matters is how much fun you have.I still like PVP and to get good at a game, but only if doing so is fun. Very few games bother trying to make competitive fun. ESPECIALLY nowadays where everyone is just a metaslave and everything is discovered and spreadsheeted instantly.
I didn'tin fact I got more into them because online fighting games are a godsend compared to traveling to your shitty locals playing the same 10 people and especially now where rollback netcode is the standardfuck moba and FPS trash though, those can die and nothing would change
>>720273534It’s the people that treat games like a second job for me, what the fuck happened?Not following the meta is a reportable offence in some games, some people pay actual money for skins that are darker than others to for some kind of advantage, the knee jerk reaction of some players to get instantly mad if their team isn’t winning within 30 seconds.I miss servers
The only mp game I play anymore is tf2 and even then I'm getting sick of it. No sense of community, nobody communicates, sperms that HAVE to play the game as if their fucking life depends on winning suck all of the fun out of it etc. etc. etc. Just make it all feel so pointless.
I'm having a good time in Black Desert, been playing online MMOs for around 25 years now.
>>720273038when I realized most other players are hazards that get me killed because of their sheer stupidity
>>720273089
I wouldn't say I've grown out of it I just prefer games that feature a campaign
>>720273038When I developed repetitive strain injury in my wrist and couldn't use a normal mouse anymore. Had to switch to a trackball mouse and that just doesn't work very well for FPS. Never played much online anyway, just a bunch of Red Orchestra 2 / Rising Storm 2 in the years before I stopped. Still miss those games though, good times.
>>720273038when zoomers were old enough to infest online games.
>>720274390When and why did it ever become acceptable for a game to launch at full price with a good multiplayer, but a shitty or short campaign/story/single player mode?
>>720273038I enjoy playing around others as an observer, but not actually interacting. I'll play MMO's like a single player game.
>>720274445Have you tried a vertical mouse?
I'm not a gay enough retard to completely dismiss online gaming altogether since I can play with my online friends.Is funny to see spergs like the TF2 Youtubers crying about everyone they interact with being total fags and how Valve needs to stop stealing well adjusted people from them.
>>720273038When I was old enough to realize everyone was just a metafagging nigger. Tried to play the 'intended' way, too, for a while until I realized there's no fun in playing a solved game and went back to comfy singleplayer. The only online game I still play is Mahjong Souls, cause of the random nature you're constantly forced to be flexible enough to try and make a play with whatever shit tiles you're given.
>>720273038I didn't, only FPS games though because it's rife with closet cheating faggots.
>>720274517>treating irl players as NPCshonestly based
true multiplayer gaming (sans matchmaking) is for normies and adults
>>720274549No, switched to a thumb trackball first and later pic related, which eventually helped me get rid of the pain. Now I don't play games with M+KB at all anymore, just a controller, which is much more comfy anyway for most games I like to play.
Only game I still do pvp in is for honor, but that game's like crack when it clicks.
I don't fit in with midwits that lack inner monologue.
>>720273735>DoD:S community orange map and tower servers '08-12based, valve killed and shit all over dod though. dod:s went to shit after the 08' update
>>720274774I see, so long as you can still enjoy vidya. Shame about losing mouse accessibility, though, the controller works too.
>>720273038I never played battlefield 3 because I didn't want to install origin. I already hated steam for holding all my games hostage and I didn't want another launcher. I don't even remember the last multiplayer game I actually played. Fuck getting into them now they're all full of tryhard sweaty nerds and metafags. I unironically miss CoD for how simplistic and easy it was to jump into. It was just pure braindead fun
>try and play ANY pvp mp game in current year>it's just full of autismos who metafag to the point that playing the game must feel pointless to them.Fucking why
>>720273038when normies got onto the internet (around the time smartphones with facebook became a thing)I still ocassionaly play shit like turtle-wow but playing games with randoms instead of friends and not being able to make custom servers with custom cultures is just draining and not rewarding
>>720274832Me personally I hope someone at Valve gets a stick up their ass to drop DOD:S2 with fuckhuge teams.I want options other than butterfield since EA is E-Gay
>>720274824Get used to being around them, they're 3/5ths of the population.
>>720274824you really took to those terms didn't you
>MUH RANKED>MUH META>MUH WINRATE
>>720273038I quit WoW at 20 (2010), tried LoL for a couple weeks the following year, then tried Rift in 2015. I'm done playing vidya with other people and their stupid bullshit.
>>720274852>didn't want to install origin so i quit all multiplayer games on steamyea, that makes sense. by the way they fucking invented matchmaking rating and put it in every single game for people like you. you can play any of these games and it will put you with other pussies that cant handle losing
>>720274549This is my mouse. I think. I use a Logitech Lift. Been using vertical mice for something like 5+ years. A long time. It was surprisingly easy to adapt to. It took less than a week. Feels completely natural. The only downside is it's not that great if you need a gazillion mouse buttons for your gaems. Mine has the normal buttons, mouse wheel, and two thumb buttons. They just don't have a lot of variety for vertical mice with more buttons than that, last I checked. I tried 2 or 3 and they just felt weird.
>>720273038When everything turned from a chill multiplayer game with the boyz, to a pseudo-competitive hack-fest with try-hard losers that spazz out at perceived mistakes. What kind of a loser wants to sit down at night after a long day and and rage at random people in a video game? Dumb fucks.That's PvP, PvE is perfect multiplayer.
>>720274549switched to one of these a couple of years ago, haven't looked back
>>720273038Probably when the tarkov cheating scandal happened. It also became very obvious how many popular streamers hack in CS and other fps. It's simply not worth wasting time in those places.
>>720275087Pic is an MX Vertical, it's a little bigger than the Lift.It's a good mouse, however, it's composed of a plasticized rubber material that degrades with age.It only maxes out at 4000 DPI and it makes your hand sweaty as fuck, which doesn't help with the rubberized coating falling apart after 2-3 years.
>>720273038i just cant deal with internet related issues anymore i dont know if i just didnt notice in the past or it actually didnt happen as often
>>720275210>Probably when the tarkov cheating scandal happenedI remember finally watching that video expecting some damning and entertaining shit and then it was like ten clips of cheating, one of which he had to apologize for because he realized the dude could see him and said he wouldn't give any more footage because he was afraid more people would get falsely accused, before he started his podcast. I still don't get how that video blew up so much and became a scandal.
>>720273038winning due to superior skill never really gets old.But since I know im better than most I dont really want to waste my time cleaning up scrubs
>>720273038I was never a fan of online multiplayer. Stopped played multiplayer games around 30.
When winning stopped giving satisfaction while losses became more and more harrowing
>>720275540boasting like this is only cool if you're playing quake deathmatch
>>720275585>around 30well, what year was that!?
>>720273038The premium online experience has been trash right after CoD4 / Halo 3 era. Quality has gone waaay down and has only increased in cost.
>>720275607Sorry but I'm mostly a halo chad :^)
>>720273038I grew into it
>>720275690disappointing
I jump between old battlefield games and TF2. I've given up on new online games.
>>720275745BRO I SAID I WAS SORRY OKAY??!
>>720273038Why does playing with other people cause so much seething here?
i think i basically only play online games at this pointthe older i get the more multiplayer focused i getkind of weird
>>720275847we used to play video games with people.now we play video games with "people".
>>720275847Most anons are both friendless and giga casuals so they have nobody to play friendslop with and competing against other players makes them throw a fit.
>>720275847post hand
>>720275918 (Me)A handy example of a "person" right here: >>720275934
I haven't and still play Worlds Iceborn doing random SOSeseses. Thanks for asking.
>>720275982Am I wrong, nigga?
>>720275982You mean someone who isn't insecure?
>>720273038around matchmaking and aim assist
>>720276021No, just somebody who can only regurgitate what they've seen, read or heard while throwing their own opinion into the mix. No inner monologue. No ability to imagine an apple. Just a void shouting a voice into another void.>>720276017Yes. You're also a retard.
>>720275510because it showed zoomers that cheaters do exist despite anticheat leading to more scrutiny, which is a bad thing for mr investor and mr game company who have been telling you that "cheaters dont exist, cant you see theres an anticheat" as nobody believes their bullshit anymore except retards below normalfags or those paid to be retarded
>>720275847most of /v/ is gatekept from having friends or a communityeven the average /r9k/nigger and /pol/tard have more friends than the average /v/ poster
>>720276061oh yeah this is also where user made mods were replaced with microtransactions
>>720276148What retards actually thought cheaters didn't exist? What company has even claimed that? Of course they do. They always have. It's all about how prevalent they are and the video did nothing to actually prove they were as common as he claimed.
When I stopped renewing my adderall prescription
>>720276061>aim assistPC/console crossplay was a huge fucking mistake
the other way around for me, i favour good pvp multiplayer games over sp, games just arent good enough for me, the couple of things sp games do right are immediately set back by the other hundreds it does wrong
When COD brought in skill based match making. Every match was sweaty. Stopped being fun.
>>720274031>he has a shitty localoof
>>720273038when esports sucked all the fun out of it
>>720273038when I realized Lag switches were a real thing and not just a meme
>>720275847>souless NPCs who can only understand "efficiency" and "meta">people
>>720273038I didn't but I don't give a shit anymore. Video games are stupid. Multiplayer is just a way for me to compete against super advanced bots.
When i realized its better to experience 5 single player games from start to end or one endless multiplayer with no end
>>720273038I never got into multiplayer because I always hated how rushed and competitive everything feels. The only times I'd play it was when my cousin or one of my school friends would come over and we'd enter a CoD lobby together. Other than that, I always much preferred experiencing games in solitude, at my own comfortable singleplayer pace.
>>720276128>just somebody who can only regurgitate what they've seen, read or heard while throwing their own opinion into the mixSo, I'm a "person" because I can observe the state of the board, present my observations, and give my opinion on it? I can also imagine an apple quite well actually and my inner voice never shuts up. I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings but if you really think what I said isn't true after spending a decent amount of time on this board then you're certainly a much bigger retard than I am.
>>720273038During that summer of '97
>>720274549>>720275204>>720274774If you are going to use stupid shit like this why not make a fridge-magnet-sized coin you twiddle around in your fingers to navigate?
Since so many of them have turned into gacha, item mall, lootbox, battle pass FOMO to which you must devote your life, its disappointing. I've always enjoyed MMOs since the muds back in the day. Competitive online multiplayer is something I can enjoy in short bursts, but I never will spend ages and ages. Co-op is a lot more enjoyable for repeat play, and MMO as aforementioned , when good, can give the best experiences. Star Citizen, even with an alpha slice of the public universe, is probably the game that gives me the most consistent old school MMO feel in terms of community. While you have the occasional douchebag or griefer, there's a higher than normal amount of players who will help out someone in need, even one they don't know. I've had a dude fly out to give me a ride off a planet so I could finish a limited time event quest, and then offer to ensure I could do the next steps in the series. I've also flown out to pick up a marooned player who's 15m+ of travel time from where they'd respawn , so they wouldnt' lose their quest widgets, and brought a ship that could respawn them nearby temporarily and guarded the landing pad and door/elevator against NPC reinforcements arriving should they fuck up and trip the alarm, while they went down to crack open a bunker's vault.
>>720273038>engagement oriented matchmaking algos>no dedicated servers (and no custom maps as a result)>banning people for breathing>nobody chats in game>theres always some stale meta that severely limits how people are willing to play the gameit stopped feeling like games man.
>>720276248I believe anon was talking about "pro gamers" and streamers in particular, if not cheaters in games with kernal anticheats.
>>720277226you forgotdeleting everything to censor for chinadeleting everything to appeal to streamers who only play 1 wayretarded penalty systems for leaving casual gamesretarded zoomers and equal retards hurt/killing you for not playing 4000% optimallyevery game having a battlepass with never returning content that lasts 5 days so fuck you for not being interested right now
>>720277003damn this is the first time i've thought that star citizen sounded cool
Around the age of 21, when I realized I didn't have time to hop on with the boys all night anymore and dealing with other people to enjoy a game sucked (turning 28 next month)So yea it's been a long ass time. I mostly play retro games now and some modern indie games.
>>720274582This. Metaslaves aren't fun to play with or against, they're disproportionately obnoxious third worlders, and they infest every genre. I retired to single player/co-op in my late 20s.
>>720274092I can't agree more. This new generation of gamers remind me a bit of myself when I was younger. Hopefully they grow out of it.
>>720273038i only play oncouch multiplayer
You'd think a subreddit for supposed hardcore gamers wouldn't constantly piss and shit themselves about other people being better at games than them.
>>720274509>when1995 with Doom 2>whyCuz it's fun
>>720277287>I believe anon was talking about "pro gamers" and streamers in particularI don't think he was at all. His claim was pretty blanket about cheaters existing. 'those paid to be retarded' is the only thing that likely refers to streamers.
i'm playing minecraft with /vg/ right now though?
>>720273038I grew up with a 14.4 and then 56.6 modems so I never did get into multiplayerausfag internet was, and still is, fucking garbage.
I think I’ve reached the end. Ive literally logged in 4000 actual hours in CS and Ive just now got into this whole trove of statistics and third party websites tracking your min/maxing sweaty self. I’ll give it one more try but I have to settle with myself that I wont be anything more than slightly above average.
>>720273038just be yourself
>>720275918It's a damn shame. I now encounter Spiderman negros who are literally using Watermelon as their username. It isn't fun to play multiplayer with animals.
Never.It has been the most convenient way for me to interact with my friends since the last 6 years or so. It's cheaper than hanging out somewhere anyway
>>720277871tfw I hit the 4000 hour mark in CS in 2010
>>720273038when I started pirating games, which precluded me from accessing the servers due to how cracks work
>>720275847A lot of anons are autistic and hate the idea of any amount of their fun relying on any other person to even the smallest degree, but they need some way to rationalize why they can't/won't play these games at all, so they'll come up with the most warped perceptions imaginable to justify everything.
>>7202730384 events causes me to lose interest in online play forever1. my Arma 3/Dayz group disintegrated2. my WoW guild splintered and died out slowly3. Overwatch Esports Balancing4. Rockstar leaving RDO to rot
>>720277871Stop. CS is trash. Multiplayer is supposed to be fun.
>>720278049Yeah Id say 85% of those hours were played casually. I just dont know where I got this bug to really try to play competitively.
>>720275847finding the right friend group is hard and comes after a ton of walking on eggshells with others not knowing when they might blow up
>>720278160I played almost all my hours in community servers back in the 2000/10sCSGO felt really good until like 2017, then it died for mePlayed CS2 just enough in Season 1 to get my ELO and never againTF2 still has the magic for me, but that's because it's the same game from back then just new maps and guns
>>720277583It really can be, if you're down for the sim elements and realize that what you're playing now is an incomplete actual alpha not a "month or two before release alpha/beta testing the servers" , so changes to game systems may come in time Immersion is a big factor so stuff like travel time is intended. Here's a link about the current medical gameplay - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20750-Design-Brief-Medical-Gameplay - they started off testing "instant respawn" If its your sort of game, there's nothing else quite like it out there. I've had more fun with it even as an alpha than I've had with full priced AAA titles. If you want to give it a try without buying a key, there are usually "free fly" events which have the benefit of well, being free (a key gives you full access to the alpha all the time and will count as a full game key too), but the downside is the servers can get sluggish with a glut of players especially in certain 'city' areas , but every bit of backend stuff they add really helps.

>>720278223>comes after a ton of walking on eggshells with others not knowing when they might blow upThis is why you fags need meta. The best tactic is walking on those eggshells as soon as it's at all appropriate so you know ASAP if you're wasting your time with weirdos.
>>720276128If they're adding their own opinion is that not part of having an inner monologue?
>>720273038I still play them, just a lot less.. I only really play online games when I get get a few friends to come, assuming you can't just solo. Most of my complaints have already been stated by other anons, be it the games themselves or the people playing them they just aren't as much fun with randoms as I remember them being.
>>720273038When leveling, loot, and dailies in MP games became more important than actually having fun.Its impossible for me to get friends(who still game) to join me in a match that has no rewards other than winning.
>>720274092>I miss serversSame
>>720278427Based. Come out swinging with the hard R and you'll make real friends.

NEVERTIL THE DAY I DIE
>>720274774>nigga is jerking off HAL9000
I didn't. Somehow with age I grew to be more competitive.
>>720275847
>>720273038When I realized everyone was better than me and I wasn't having fun
>>720278223Should note that this is generally just a (You) problem. The people that just join in and want to play video games are rarely an issue, and if things stumble, people don't mind patching things up. The people that preface meeting people with being worried about things and talking about shit going to pieces in the past are usually those that were causing the problems to begin with and will do so again, and won't build up the mutual respect required for bonds to last.I've no solution to provide you for this problem; you're mostly just fucked, but what's important to note IS that it's NOT other people
>>7202730382013 with League. Then came back to it this year with Dominions
>>720275510Tarkov always had the reputation for cheating because even hidden cheats like ESP are so strong in that game. People would go hide in a bathroom on labs with nothing of value on them and hackers would beeline to them and toss a grenade in with no way of knowing they were there. When that cheat video came out Tarkov was probably at its peak of popularity so it had a greater effect than you'd think for how tame it was. The sheer number of people in his lobbies who were also cheating was simply disgusting.
>>720273234I also only play chiv2 for online Played some pubg during lockdown but never find it appealing Monster hunter is also a good online game
>>720273038Years ago, a combination of lacking both the hardware and free time. I wouldn't even know where to start if I wanted to get into low-spec, low-commitment online gaming.
>>720273038When did you grow out of using the Internet on your Computer and Cell Phone to live an Analog life?

>reaction speed already tanked to 200ms at age 26it's over for mei'll never compete with kovaak grandmaster kids
>>720273038Because every time I go to play online with randoms I either have to deal with whiny cry babies who spam reports at you for the slightest thing, actual hackers that the games incredibly invasive anti-cheat failed to catch because cheat devs and anti-cheat devs are the same people or people going out of their way to make the game as unfun as possible, people obsessing over meta to the point it's a bannable offense to try something different, wannabe streamers that will try and stick their personal army onto you. Most games are also turning into Discord circle jerks where you have to beg for matches because the majority of "gamers" only play 1 of 5 games (Though that's more of a problem with the shithole of a country I live in).This is all ignoring the fact that the games themselves are even more obnoxious to play and are actively catering towards an esports crowd that doesn't even play the game. Boot it up, click through multiple ads for the cash shop and battle pass and sit through a match making algorithm for 5 minutes that's trying to manipulate you into spending money. There is a reason why those smaller, 4-Player co-op indie games are getting more and more popular because who the fuck wants to put up with this bullshit.It's not fucking worth the bullshit you have to put with.
>>720274092>second jobthey dont have a first one
>>720273038Used to be big on FPS games back in the good ol' days before metafaggotry, SBMM and gen-z normalfag streamers soiled everything. I still play TF2 and PvE games from time to time but as soon as things turn sour I just leave, two decades of carrying retarded teammates is more than enough. Tending to other hobbies in-between gaming sessions helps a ton as well.
>>720278585that's what i said in my 20's. then the internet changed.
>>720278725To be fair, Chinese and Indian players rarely are an issue. Chinese people show up to farm in persistent world games with trading (you could spot them in EQ games because they used randomly generated names and never spoke), but they can be avoided. The big cancers in multiplayer are South America and Eastern Europe, but they tend to stay with F2P or cheap games.
>>720273038Sometime during the heyday of the DayZ mod. I realised that, even if the game changes, the people stay the same. Therefore, every multiplayer game is mostly the same experience. I'll occasionally dip my toes in the water when something a bit different like Fall Guys comes out, but it never lasts

>>720282116>tryhard shit like the wall bounce on gears of war

>>720283956what's the rush? my monologue ensures that i do everything to the best of my ability, not some halfassed job where i wonder what went wrong even though an actually sentient person should know.
>>720273038Sometime after Black Ops 4.Probably around Modern Warfare Reboot. When PvP became less fun and more matchmaking Skill based matchmaking shit.Where every lobby is randomised every single time so you no longer form a bond with someone over multiple games. Where it became less about having fun but more about keeping you engaged. These days all I do is play single player games or pure co-op like Helldivers 2
>>720273038I haven't completely but I'm pushing 40 with kids and my friend group is basically the same at this point. It's really rare we can all get together at the same time anymore without planning it like a week in advance like a bunch of fags.

>>720273038(﹏) I only play multiplayer games to meet people. Ranked matches are fun but if I'm not making friends it's sorta just a litmus test for how intelligent people are.
>>720273038I got into it with Splatoon 1And I grew out of it with Splatoon 3Turns out when they ruin the one game you play online you don't need to play online anymore
Since Civ V, only in single-player I can satisfy my autism and play this game the way I want. The only multiplayer game I still play is Holdfast since it's funny and I like the clothe/style of the late 18th and early 19th century.

>>720282116>Expectations: Authentic militaryfag team vs team battle>Reality: Niggas animation cancelling to move their hitbox around removing any sense of immersion
>/v/ hates singles player games cuz they're a waste of time>/v/ also hates multiplayers gamesDo you fags even like video games?
>>720286393Look at the catalog. Most of it is ritualposting that's either not game related or is bitching about paying for games or hardware. No, most of /v/ doesn't play games. If you do, you're a consooooooooooooooooooooomer.The vast majority of posts about hardware or games are from third worlders complaining that they can't afford them, and the grapes are therefore sour.
>>720273038I stopped playing online multiplayer games around the earls 2010s. Every fucking mp got more and more competitive and was less fun. I miss servers with, custom rules and stuff like this.
It wasn't necessarily online play I grew out of but competitive play.
>>720273038when my age started with 2 while most others on my team with 1
>>720273038Never have. Probably never will. I enjoy the competition. I don't care about grinding ranked, I just play it because it's fun to compete against another person trying their best.
>>720277871I really enjoy the gameplay of CS but the community hasn't felt good in a decade.
>>720273038When my friends, not unreasonably, didn’t want to play Overwatch with me because I was a boat anchorYears later I queued with them and finding a match took forever and we lost all those games anyway And solo queue isn’t as funOn the other hand I got some good solid basic tips on how to train myself to click on bodies from, I think, Aimbot Calvin so I clawed my way back to 1000 SR, declared victory, and stopped playing multiplayer shooters
I never grew out of it. It's basically the only thing I play now. I rarely enjoy single player games. Just don't have the attention span anymore and I'm not even 30 yet.
>>720273038>grow out ofi grew out of single player kids games and went into competitive multiplayer to sate my masculine urge for competition
i honestly think cs2 is the best cs since 1.6 but even in unranked casual matches people are trying so damn hard when i just want to have some fun clicking on heads
>>720273038When the definition of "online games" changes from online social hub to competitive 6v6 whatever-the-fuck genre
>>720287850there's still a hidden elo in unranked so if you've got a good premier rating then yeah...as always the solution to dicking around with non-meta shit is to either tank your rating or smurf

>itt learning disability retards (shooternigs)with 10k hours and avg rank in their game coping out the ass about being bad
>>720283956Sounds like cope for people who don't have inner monologue. It's not slow brain, it's ability to think before acting.
>>720286350Try squad or HLL
>>720287850i play deathmatch for this
2013 when I Was 23. I stopped playing online games after that year.
>>7202730382006, when cheaters ruined W:ET.
I knew from 2016 that I hated ranked matchmaking because changing my playstyle to what is most effective away from what I wanted to play would only pit me with the most flabbergasting retards conceivable as well as turn me into a fun hating fag that just wants to see the ranked number go up for gamer cred.But it took me a few years later until I realized no enemy could ever hurt me as much as a teammate could. No matter how good I was at a game, a bad enough teammate could very easily make a fight unwinnable because I either rely on them and they fail me, they give the enemy unfathomable advantages over me, or they actively get in my way whenever I try to do things. No game will ever punish being a bad teammate as much as it will punish the person who tries to correct them (killing them before they can mislead me or an enemy can benefit from their mistake) so I just threw in the towel on anything but the most passing multiplayer experience.
>>720288418>No matter how good I was at a game, a bad enough teammate could very easily make a fight unwinnablethat's why i play fighting games
>>720273038when i started working 6x1 8h/day + study + social life. The only mp games I still play is duelingbook and monhun (90% of the time I do solo hunts but occasionally I play with randoms) I dont have time to match with other peoples or friends I just play whenever I want and sometimes it's really short sessions of 30-40 min on my free days when I'm not busy doing something else I play the whole day
>>720288451I respect that but for me that falls into the former category of turning me into a fun hating fag that just wants to see the ranked number go up for gamer cred. Eventually I will sell my soul to the meta because it's socially unacceptable to be where I am ranked, even if I hate the characters I have to learn to do it. And the fun part is no rank is ever socially acceptable, some fag will always hate you for your rank one way or another. Ranked does nothing but breed hostility between each other, not even competition. Do too bad you're a scrub, too good you're an unemployed basement dweller. There's no winning with ranked until you start getting paid for it.
>>720288657the dream is to be good while playing casuallymaking this possible is the secret goal for most competitive gamers>*solo carries cs game*>yeah bro i maybe play once or twice a weekthe ultimate flex
>>720273038When it stopped being fun and became about who can exploit shitty game mechanics and oversights on the part of he devs better than the others.So about 15 years ago.
>>720288793One of the reasons I've loved Battlefield before it turned into a trojan horse for MTX. All the tine no-lifing jet in Battlefield 2 translated so well to Battlefield 3/4, that I could effortlessly shit on currebnr no-life in spite of just playing 2-3 hours a week. It never required me to study and memorize a bajillion "meta" combinations of gear or w/e, like most other genres or required me to practice some retarded animation canceling glitches like any other infantry plebian shooter.
>>720289308>current*Fatfingering a touchscreen.
>>720273038Playing marvel rivals. I'll still play pvp or co op with friends, but i really don't give a shit about "getting good" so my number get bigger. My team was squawk at each other and me, so I got to a breaking point where I just alt f4'd and uninstalled. Shit talking used to be fun and the games weren't always so serious. Fuck esports.
>>720287850CSS is the best cs game because the title is the most fun when it's casual gameplay such as zombie escape, minigames, bhop, surf, prophunt. Literally just an improvement from 1.6 in terms of that.
>>720290387In other words, you don't like CS and want to play Gmod.
>>720289308Battlefield is awesome because it really just requires you to have good aim and positioning. It's the retards running around that just get shot first.
Its the opposite, I grew out of single player games and mostly play online stuff be it coop or competitive. My age is showing when trying to keep up sure, but its at least more engaging.
>>720290450Not the same thing at all, all mentioned works best in css.
>>720273038When they stopped making multiplayer games for me and instead made them for people who want singleplayer games, because it's more lucrative
>>720273038Every game i play is always online, even the single player ones.
>>720273038I didn't grow out of it i just switched from team based PVP games to 1v1 or COOP PvE games.Nothing more cancerous or retarded than playing a team based game whit randoms thinking your individual skill matters.
>>720284213>>720288237>think before actingthats the point, youve already thought the thought before its monologuedsure its useful to doublecheck sometimes but you dont really need to take the time needed to spell everything out for yourselfor maybe you do, either way it doesnt make you better than people that dont
>>72028635099% of the time the expectations are still metunless of course you play the small gamemodes where the animation cancellers are drilling their attempts to play cod inside bf
>>720286393hate is the greatest game
>>7202730382014
>>720273038Some time around getting my first steady job? I have neither the time nor patience to go against some 11 year old "training" and cranking 90's in Fortnite 12 hours per day on top of blatant cheating and hacking. It's just isn't worth it so it's sp and coop games with the bros for me.
>>720290716I'd argue that people PVE COOP is more retarded. I just can't have fun in shit like Helldivers where it's never consistent if people are actually playing or not. In PVP atleast everyone is trying by default so it's more like playing with very advanced AI. If something like Overwatch was with bots who the fuck would actually enjoy it lol..
>>720291680yeah that's true, had to add self-rules like no locker/metro and choose classic whenever possible
>>720290669 Yeah, it’s like they figured out that slapping in a stats screen, RPG leveling, weekly FOMO rewards and a battle pass would keep singleplayer-minded players grinding infinitely – so they made “multiplayer” a skinner box co-op chore rather than actual competition with intensity or replayability. Old MP was about expression, skill, and chaos. Now it’s about hitting checkpoints until you unlock a new pair of gloves.
>>720287910laugh all you want, thats how it works, every win raises testof course sedentary gaming lifestyle brings that shit right back down
>>720291851being a wageslave doesn't make you important or interesting
>>720273038never really started, when you realize half the battle of online gameplay is figuring out ways to abuse lag there really isn't really a reason to engage with it.
>>720292058Phisically or mentally disabled, sweety?Hit a nerve? Something you want to share with us?
>>720292202>Gets immediately triggered after getting called outKEK, truth hurts doesn't it?

>>720273139I swear GTA online ruined grand theft auto for an entire generation while simultaneously pushing older fans of the series away from it.Like it's been 12 years and I know people who played the online for a month and never touched a GTA after because how badly it soured the franchise for them. At the same time I know a very few fucks that have pretty much played nothing but this in those same 12 years(God have mercy on their autistic souls)
>>720291851>anon loses to 11 year oldlol

>>720292623>wagenigger thinks he won anything at lifeLMAO
>>720273038Around 2013 I think, around the time matchmaking became standard and it became hard to find good multiplayer communities. That said, plenty of multiplayer games still have server browsers but not enough for me to care about multiplayer overall. So I consider myself a singleplayer only type gamer.
>>720293287Please stop crying!
>>720273534Pretty much my biggest problems in Dota, excluding the aimbotsSome say I'm getting older and that my taste or priorities change, and some claim I'm a contrarian.... but no, even without going on about the shitty community that breeds there - the game itself became way and way less fun and challenging for your gray matter...I want to be more into single player games, but the vast majority of them bore me to tears, so I return to Dota, thinking I might enjoy it like I did back in the 2012-2015 eras, but nope, no it doesn't get better, and thus the cycle continues...I hate ADD zoomers and the esport scene with passion - cunts simply ruined what was once a may as well say "an intellectual game" - but this causes (or symptoms) are also plaguing other competitive online games...so it don't matter, none of this matter
Play an engagement based online pvp trash with third worlders or have fun?Not a hard choice to make.
>>720273038You need to be online to play pretty much anything these days. Even single player games.
>>720273038Early 20s. Got sick of modern matchmaking, if games still supported servers I'd probably still play new online shit.
Never got in to it. Unfortunately, my friends still play Halo online for 8+ hours daily, thinking they're going to turn MLG Pro any day now.
>>720294520or it's just fun
About 8 years agoI was playing a game called Guns of Icarus where I met a group of Scandinavians who turned out to be complete assholes.Now I play single player games exclusively
>>720273038when I realized all other people are there for is to foster fake E-competition to pressure you into spending more money and that in every instance it would have been more enjoyable as a single player game where people don't constantly just get in your way and do faggot flaunty people things to try and get your attention
>>720294856what online competitive game is pressuring you into spending more money?
>>720274796the beta for this game was unironically the most fun phase it had
>>720294727Based scandis ruling the skies.
When i noticed that discord killed alot of it because autistic zoomers dont want to talk. I come back sometimes when i hear games have proximity chat
multiplayer games are better because you can play them forever and talk to people. you don't have to play competetiveslop.single player games are toys. past a certain age its weird to be playing then.
>>720273234>Vintage Storyfun game but people on public servers are very weird
>>720273038I fucking love LAN parties
>>720273116this its not pvp if the other person paid to winany pvp game with mtx is pay to win and uses ai to enforce itill only play coop online lolwtf happened to video games .
>>720294727You plaid the worst online game anon. Not only do you have to work together with randoms, but you have to do so to then beat another team of randoms. No matter what you do in that game you eill be blamed for something
The Mann-conomy update.
>>720273735i miss that shit lolonline was funcss tf2 etccod 4 5 left 4 dead halo etc
>>720293743Anon even single player games are "engagement based". It's like watching a baby learn new words.
>>720273038I miss making dark souls nerds mad with this.
>>720273038In 2013 or so. MP started getting too cancerous around that time, no servers and you'd be subjected to authoritarian policies of the publisher.
>>720273038When they started treating griefers like humans, and punishing the people trashtalking the griefers. This isn't multiplayer anymore, this is autistic kids daycare.
>>720273254Same
>late teens/early 20s>super into competitive online games, all the free time in the world, use OSU! and aimtrainers for FPS like a fucking autist>hardstuck in the middle ranks >10 years later>have a corpo job and gf, barely any time to play games anymore>usually only manage to get placement matches in every cycle>place in the 10th percentile of players on every FPS and fighting game I playDid the quality of players drop precipitously? Is it the fact console players can get matched up with PC players? I know I'm not any better than when I was young
>>720273038Last game I liked without caveat was Battlefield 1, since it wasn't really make-or-break in any session with any particular balance of players, weapons, missions, or levels of teamwork. You could get something out of it most of the time regardless of your level of engagement, and as an added bonus the progression system felt rewarding and mostly hassle-free.BF5 went in the wrong direction in basically everything.Most other games have inevitable frustration-concentrating aspects somewhere in there. Sometimes varying drastically within the same game between the different game modes, even.
