maybe its just eu servers, i hate it in here, but these fucking animals dont comunicate at all, despite being able to, everyone is shy, and blames the "toxicity" they had one time, and thus decided not to ever use it, despite being able to mute and block and move on, i miss the times when voice chat was accepted and widespread, nothing beats the countless nigths of fun banter with internet randoms, it was so much fun, and gave my life some semblance of connection to the human species, something not available in the real world, and now, not online either, every game is a ghost town, no mics to be found, helldivers 2 for example, awfull game. And there no one comms, not even text chat.
>>2924995why would anybody chat in a game when you get reported--and action is taken--just for saying gg?
>>2924995>what happened to voice chatthe biggest thing is centralized official servers meaning getting banned from the entire game, not just one server. no one wants to risk that.
>>2925318>>2925992this is pure cope, games with no moderation at all still don't have anyone talking anymore. People are just pathetic nowadays and everyone thinks they have self-diagnosed social anxiety. They're also extremely selfish faggots, actively sabotaging any team-oriented game they play by choosing not to communicate because ooh oh talking is le scawy :'((( idgaf if everyone collectively has a worse time because I refuse to properly participate, it's more important that I never ever experience a modicum of mild discomfort!!! Fucking assholes. No-one sees other people online as people anymore, they don't want to, no-one exists besides them in their heads. People consciously log onto multiplayer games just to act like they're playing with bots anyway. Everyone is disconnected, everyone assumes the worst of each other and preemptively wants nothing to do with anyone else and they're too retarded to see that they're creating their own problem.
retard its the entire world getting internet and not just the good europeans and the USRusniggers and other subhumans dont speak, they judt grief
>>2926298you sound like a faggot I wouldn't talk to you either, regardless of moderation.
>>2926298another thing is discord. discord is a cancer, no one wants to use squad chat or team chat when if they want to chat to people they can chat to their "friends" on shitcord. sit there chit chatting about nonsense with people who aren't even playing the same game instead of saying relevant things like "we got enemies spawning east, take out that squad leader" or "everyone spawn in as AT, let's take out that tank"
>>2926298yeah, i blame biden era and the push for atomized lonely people, and radicalization that lead to censorship and game bans, in overwatch 2 i was banned for saying reinhart diff, not even a swear, yet they banned me, its def something to do with companies pushing an agenda
>>2926404oof, i never liked discord, i am a loser and even ten somehow, discord losers are worse, i have literally never liked using it and still avoid it
I have an accent so that plus everyone is racist in games for years, FPS and anything related mainly. No not indian though Retired from multiplayer vidya to single player and other hobbies
>>2926298Assuming the worst of anyone online is the rational and logical choice. I mean why do u want people to talk to you? You get flamed, looked down upon or just mocked, toxicity or whatever then...I mean who wants to talk to strangers online?
>>2925318>>2924995This, also in 99% of games you just need to do your job and fucking chill. You should know what you're supposed to do, if you're looking for constant validation for your actions and decisions go and play a sweaty MMORPG
>>2926298>People are just pathetic nowadays and everyone thinks they have self-diagnosed social anxiety.No, modern gamers are in their 30s and 40s. After 50 hours this week at the ball-crushing factory we dont want to hear squeaky 12yo South-East-Asian kids screaming on voice chat so we click this. If I talk to anyone, itll be one of my 3-5 gamer friends (that I've known since highschool) on discord
>>2927889my mother died in the next room over while i was being toxic in League of Legendsi quit playing online games, esp. competitive games after that.
>>2927940Okay, but your political commentary is ruining the world via Twitch. Maybe you should stop that instead.
>>2927940Ok so I am right still though.Why would I wanna get insulted? I just play old single player games, really multiplayer games are a waste of time
>>2927969I mean this in the best possible way anon, why are you here in /vm/?
>>2928066I came here looking for a game I used to play. Wanted to see the general here, it's not even a thing anymore
>>2928072what game?
>>2928077It's no use, it's dead dead, extinct.You wouldn't know it, never had big numbers. It wasn't any FPS, now that genre I can never play again multiplayer wise. The people there just have a bad vibe
>>2928079inb4 pokemmo or some shit, just tell me anon I promise I wont make fun of you
>>2924995The world ended in 2012, we're all in hell now so not a single thing couldn't not get worse.
>>2928079Was it Infantry? Feel like I'm the only one who remembers that.
>>2928079The ultima server is still up.
>>2927921my time with internet videogame strangers has been really good actually
>>2930264Why? How?
>>2926302literally thisif you play with white people they'll talk and have a good timeso if your game is niche, usually finei vc in hunt showdown with randoms every game, worst case scenario they're a redditor and get silend angry and wait to tk me because of my welcoming 'sieg heil mein nigga'but majority of the time it's wholesomein large population games it's just fucking third worlders
>>2930709I ran into a white Aussie guy in a house in DayZ yesterday and we scared the fuck out of each other, threw a few punches mostly out of panic but we ended up having a chat about a couple of minutes. Traded a few items, gave each other directions and went about our way. Anglos talking to each other on online games is still very normal, but if there are SEAmonkies and other 3rdies around we'll turn voice chat off entirely and treat them like AI bots in the lobby of whatever game.
>>2930557idk i speak with cool ppl and they banter back and if someone bad i mute and block, way more fun than not
>>2924995
>>2926298What I don't understand is that you typed all of that as though you think you're going to form deep and meaningful connections over a shitty FPS PvP game.
>>2936955u can and i have, u cant anymore tho
