- Whats the worst thing about playing online?
Cheating, I can deal with anything else but cheaters should get jail time!PSN=EbahamutE YT=AnubisBahamut PC=7700k\1080ti
I love fighting gamesNothing more annoying than cheaters.
Lag is a close second.
Servers being switched off has only affected me on two games but it did really suck. Most of the time I've already moved on by the time that happens.
I don't worry about trash talk, I'm usually in private chat with friends anyways.People that tell/complain about you and what you are doing, when in fact it's them but they are too blinded too see that they can do faults.lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllAlso, 70% of gamers never played online? I find that extremely hard to believe.lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllCheating. Though, it's a great feeling to crush the cheaters by simply being better. Still hate playing them.It's not the fall that kills you, it's the rapid deceleration.....
*shoves next poster off a cliff*It will always be lag for me. People are shit but thats fundamental to the nature of people, gaming or not. Choosing to play team based games is unfortunately choosing to wade knee deep into that muck. As long as games properly implement the ability to silence text/voice/spammers and report cheaters thosee are not a problem for me.
If you could play online games with the responsiveness of lan the entire fighting game genre would be saved, people from other regions would get less hate, one giant excuse removed from the equation, peer-to-peer games would actually be fine etc.(edited 4 weeks ago)People with godlike reflexes. I really hate playing against people that can consistently headshot a tiny fast moving target from 30 miles away without scoping or taking time to aim. Slight exaggeration of course, but you get the point. In non-shooter online games where grinding determines who's strongest, it'd be the extreme no-lifers, who make the middle no-lifers like myself look like newborns. There's nothing wrong with it or that should be done about it, but I'm just saying it's rarely fun to play against other players when some of them seem superhuman.
Then there's the lag, and the trolls. That's about it for me."Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat."(edited 4 weeks ago)For me, is the fact that one day the servers will go offline, hence, all your invested time will be a waste (RIP Dust 514). Then again, NOTHING lasts forever.
Other than that, I really hate people that complain about everything. Snipers that start insulting when they get sniped. Campers that start complaining about others camping. I guess people who doesn't know how a competition works.
Yeah, I've seen a few places online where there is a good community. I remember playing Mechwarrior online, I even found people who would teach you on the fly to try to make the team win even when there were others playing alone and getting themselves killed. That's where I realized that good leaders, regardless of the circumstances, can guide a team to win. I was one of the newbies, but still, there were times that we had good leadership and would conquer the enemy with excellent tactics.Minted Dragon, -=UDIC=-

That's a very unique answer.Online multi-player is a treadmill.
A single player game ends and you start something new (or the same game, using different choices, etc).
It's like the arcades of the 80s. Never feels satisfying, without an ending.We're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar -
We're all living in Amerika, Coca-Cola, sometimes war...I simply dislike most genres that are conducive to multiplayer. Don't like MMO's, don't like fighting games or racing games, etc.
The only ones I do like are very specific shooters (very high skill curves where it takes like 10+ body shots to kill so headshots are highly encouraged, no regenerating health, other stuff) and Diablo 2 (only 2, not 3).
One of my favorite shooters (in terms of mechanics) was ruined by lag, it had terrible coding which made it so being laggy was a huge advantage to you, and for some reason it let you choose your own upload speed so you could very easily exploit that fact. And consequently lag switching was even more advantageous so cheating was a huge problem, and the game was very lax in regulation so they were rarely banned.
So I would go with lag if I were to pick one of the poll options besides other.bloop(edited 4 weeks ago)Lagggg especially on PS4hackersAssholes. Most people I meet are great, but I was paired with a real jerk last night on Black Ops 4. Completely anti-social, I don't know why he had a mic or was playing Duos.
His name was MSIbeast, and this is on PS4, so I asked if he was into PC gaming, and he says "yeah, you don't need to talk to me about PC gaming buddy". Very condescending and passive aggressive.
Was like that the entire match, just a rude guy.Lag.
I love M & B Warband: Napoleonic Wars commander battle, but the lag is often so bad that you can't change your officer's item, and end up stuck with just the telescope. Not good when you charge the enemy and can't actually fight.enderall posted...Humans, me as an INTJ going to an office is all I need as social activity.

Well, that's the data for console. Lots of games give you a trophy for playing your first online match, and in most games, only about 20%-40% of people get the trophy.
I admit, PC might be a bit higher.Toxic ass communities.

Have the balls to my FACE." -celebarDarkDoc posted...More than 70% of people have never played online, and are not interested in it, but for those that do, what annoys you the most? What makes it so overrated?
Everything. Every option jumped out at me as awful to deal with, all are reasons why I dislike online. I very strongly prefer single player games, so long as they do not have the possibility of being shut down in the future due to DRM servers being taken down(meaning they aren't actually offline games).
Dedicated single player games are just vastly superior experiences IMO. I went through a WOW phase in the past and I'm just completely over it now. I've found RPGs like the Witcher 3 or heavily modded Skyrim/Fallout 4 or BOTW/other Nintendo games to be so much better.Rest in peace, Stan Leechandl34 posted...Low populations.
Yeah, I guess that basically makes matchmaking slower and/or less accurate.Twindragonfang posted...Human interaction. Unless I'm playing with a team of friends, 99.99% of all other players are just shit. Shit at the game, shit as human beings
Yeah, that much is becoming very clear from the voting...KillerTruffle posted...the worst thing about playing online is actually a combination of several of the options - too many assholes.
Cheating/hacking, trolls, ragequitters, racism/flaming/other crap, general toxicity... all boils down to too many assholes these days.
Yeah, that's why I tried to break them up. All together those are over 51% of the results so far.People on mics. Every time I do an activity in a game that requires a mic there is someone with their mic open so you can hear everything going on in their house, it's especially annoying on pc where push to talk is a thing.For MMOs, it’s usually the worlds being lonely until you level up and get deeper into the game.Random strangers talking becdause it can be extremely annoying obviosuly.. I only now a days rtalk on a headset with a few girls i know in life that play games and their friends if we are in a group chat. I make sure not to get emotional and come off like a weirdo when i play though.Combo Master(edited 2 weeks ago)Stop shilling your thread everywhere lolNow Playing: Persona 3:FES, Morrowind

That certainly solves some of it. Knowing the people you play with Irl...Cheats / hackers. Everything else can be adapted to, but d***splats using hacks just to feel like a winner for once, ruin it for everyone.If you ran the world, it would probably be on fire right now.DarkDoc posted...unknown_VS posted...

Also some games I feel like there's no point to playing online. Like Warframe. I just team up with mute ninjas who complete the objective and move to the next. Might as well play with bots.Orestes417 posted...Trash talk is fine to a point, as long as it stays on the game. What's more obnoxious is the assholes who get offended by the most minor of things and expect you to care.
Yeah, loads of people complain on fighting game boards because "he didn't give me a rematch!" Like, are you seriously that thin-skinned?DarkDoc posted...Orestes417 posted...

I don't think that's a counter to his point, considering his point wasn't actually talking about newbies, but about trolls intentionally throwing games and being pricks in general."How do I get rid of a Trojan Horse?" -Sailor_Kakashi

Indeed. It's one thing to be playing to the best of your abilities. I got no problem with team mates that legitimately suck but are trying. Team mates who think that "I play for fun" or "it's not comp" excuses ruining the game for their team by selfishly fucking around however... those people can eat a bag of dicks.Please keep talking so we can all pretend that our problems are just in our heads.I don't really play online, but if I were to pick something, then I would say people who are annoying on voice chat (i.e. playing music in the background, talking too much, acting like a kid, etc).@GameFAQs moderators https://youtu.be/PeihcfYft9w
