Toxic sweaty players are the bane of internet gaming. Can't beat each other so they go to smurfing. Fuck it up for everyone.
Yup. It's why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it's pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.
Check out Deep Rock Galactic. I've been playing for 5 years now and have never ran into a toxic player. The community is known for being pretty friendly.
Tried that one. Wasn't fun for me sadly
Its intense at harder difficulty and better weapons. The game shines at around Haz 4 & 5 missions.
I play with my wife, and it's over of the few games that has stuck around over the years.
But yeah, I get it.
I knoooooow, I've had like three people ask me to get that game lol
It's on the list!
ROCK! AND! STOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNE!!!!
Someone say ROCK AND STONE?!
Mushroom!
Me too. The only two games I have been playing in the last 2 years are insurgency, division 2 and payday 2. All PvE. Fuck competitive players. The little time I have available to play, I want to have fun.
You mean competitive games right? Cause it sounds like you should avoid competitive games and game modes. The competitiveness is the point on of competitive games. Which is fine, not everyone needs to enjoy every game genre/mode. Just don't think it's the players fault in your outlined situation.
I’m waiting for some age verification system so that us older gamers can enjoy playing games without having to compete when we don’t want to. I don’t need to feel elite, I need to feel an enjoyable gaming experience without feeling like I’m not doing something right.
I don’t want a guide to tell me the best build for my character, or tell me how much damage I’m doing. I want to figure shit out without having some kid berate me for not “taking it seriously”.
Bring back games for enjoyment, not achievement farming to brag. No one fucking cares how “good” you are at -any- game when you’re my age.
We need full time job only servers or something.
Upload your W2 for verification to access this server.
Why aren't you working in the video game industry? Missed your calling.
Hell yeah. I'd pay money to play with regular people. I fucking hate getting torn to pieces in game and verbally by 15-year-olds that have sunk 10,000 hours into a game. I'm a grown adult with minimal gaming time.
I really like games that have a separate "competitive" section of gameplay....then I avoid it like the plague. I'm a "filthy casual".
But when I play casual I still get lots of "my team sucks" and "why are you even playing you're so bad". I tell them to hit ranked if they're that sweaty but I'd rather they just fuck off entirely.
