DON'T SKIP DA FMV'S
*exasperated sigh* Bored now guys.
The majority of people who are mean to me on online multiplayer are 12 year old virgins or 30 year old Southern rejects who were probably inbred anyway. I quite often just mute all of them when necessary.
This is me purposely screwing up then restarting the entire campaign
PG plays Left 4 Dead 2 Game Restart Fun - YouTube
This is me running through the map as fast as possible then using all of the healthkits

forget those jerks, come play MP with me. it will be a blast
You say that as if 12 year olds aren't supposed to be virgins. xD
Spammers on Tekken online. Kids continuously spam low kicks and grab. It gets annoying after a while and it spoils any challenge or fun out of the game. Call of Duty is another, although I could be here all night saying how retarded some of the things they attempt online. Finally, all hackers/cheaters should die a lonely death.
Not to be all warm and fuzzy but I play a ton of online multiplayer on PC and PS3 across a variety of genres and by and large, most players I encounter are decent and courteous people.
While I do encounter some monumental jerks online sometimes, by and large this is my experience as well. Then again, I've never owned an Xbox or played on Xbox Live.
But no, I've heard people mention over the years that different communities were bad like CS or even TF2, but maybe I just got lucky and hit on mostly servers with good communities because I've almost never seen it. The odd guy that spoils the mood in a fun game sure, but entire communities? I've never seen it really.
^ Agreed, and while I've only briefly played TF2, TFClassic and CS were absolutely awesome communities to be a part of, especially in their prime. Console gamers literally have no idea how wrong they're doing it.
Quick! Bury this post before Iceglow and Milf log back on!!!
Why? I just assumed they were the jerks everyone who uses Xbox Live always talks about.
But as for the console gamers comment you made, I do think a large part of the wonderful experiences I've had with online communities around PC games was a result of private servers. Whatever pros and cons people want to throw out there about them vs. matchmaking, one thing is for sure; it's a lot easier to have a close, tight knit, respectful community when you have people who are paying their own money and taking their own time to operate a server and keep things respectful. I'm not sure I'd have the same fond memories of many of those communities that I do if it weren't for people being able to host their own servers.
Try as some developers/console manufacturers might, it's really hard to basically take on policing every game ever.
I know, going to your favorite pub really is like going to your favorite pub:
It's a place where everybody knows your name.
WoW had some breathtakingly unpleasant people in its community when I was still playing. People blowing up over every little thing, getting into arguments over loot, trade chat, you name it. Glad I finally left the game. There are a lot better communities out there where people are actually civil.
Yeah that's the only thing with MMORPGs (EQ used to be the same before WoW attracted most of them away), they tend to be full of people competing to be the most colossal dick. It's the same crowd that posts replies to Youtube videos, I think!
