In my opinion, the best game modes are modes that require or at least encourage moving around and prioritization particular areas requiring teamwork and coordination to win. Sticking together and communication/tagging should be a requirement of most >gold matches to win.

I'll compare to strongholds, which require pretty much constant movement as a team to win, and prioritization of certain strongholds and then defending those strongholds as well. I've always had a blast playing strongholds and I always feel like I have an individual and team contribution to this game mode.

Most of my slayer experiences are: spawn and scatter to where each individual thinks they will personally get the most kills. I am aware there is skill in slayer, and I am aware I would have more fun if I had more of those skills, but even so I don't think I'd find just simply killing players over and over with no objective as fun as killing a player and then saving the stronghold they were about to take. Slayer encourages players to camp corners and side areas of the map. Slayer is just boring in the objective, I already have the opportunity to kill players in objective based game modes.

Honestly I didn't miss the slayer playlist. It's now contaminating quickplay as 2/3 matches are just slayer now. Before you tell me I'm wrong, please remember this is an opinion and you're allowed to disagree with it.

Edit: Y'all really can't have constructive discussions can you?

Am I the only one who finds it unacceptable to have to buy the game twice in order to be able to create your own dedicated server ?

Almost 30 years old and never seen this before.

Hey all, I had a chance to interview the map design lead at Sledgehammer who oversaw the creation of Vanguard's MP maps for a story in The Washington Post. Mods, lemme know if this isn't okay, but thought you all may be interested in what he had to say about Sledgehammer's design philosophy for Vanguard's maps vs. what they did for WW2 (they're favoring fantasy over clinical/traditional 3-lane design at the outset), the environmental destruction, how they're tweaking the spawn formula to account for the new pacing settings and more. Happy to stick around and answer any ?s as well.

Turns out, I have to watch 160 hours worth of study material now.

I love multiplayer games... got any to play on the side while learning?

*I already know 90% of the stuff in the videos, but I still have to scope through all of them for gems in the dirt... Something like watching a youtube video for a reported frame

EDIT OK maybe it doesn't have to be multiplayer.. just preferable. As long as I can keep my sanity while watching all this shit...

But it has to be plaid with no sound, so that is a big thing I missed in the post

I'm just tired of my favourite multiplayer franchises all being ripped apart with loot boxes, season passes, server issues, P2W mechanics etc.

With my favourite shooter franchise, Battlefield, now being a mess (even more than BF4), Apex Legends and its constant server issues and its $200 "surprise mechanics", Black Ops 4 was a complete shit stain on an antique white carpet etc the list goes on.

Always been a massive fan of just single player games. I loved Bloodborne, the original Assassins Creed games (before Origins), The Witcher 3, Dark Souls 2, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Uncharted and so so many more games but sometimes I just wanted to play online and not worry about a story to follow in case I don't have time to constantly jump in and out.

So I recently decided to just play offline games and I've been mainly playing Dark Souls 1 and try to finally complete it as I never managed to years ago, replaying Fallout 4, 1993 DOOM, Wolfenstein and SOMA to name a few and it's just amazing. It's just the game and that's it. No server issues, no hackers, no loot boxes, just gameplay and story.

I'd advise anyone maybe in a similar situation to give it a go. It may help you like it did for me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend 🤘

This always bugged me becuase I do not know why people continuously want to do this even though they know that they will eventually be caught by other players or by the developers themselves and they know that the developers will not let these unfair plays go unchecked.

If these hacks are done in a single player game, then fine because you are ruining other players' playthroughts.

But if these are done on a multiplayer game, whether they are big on the esports community or not, plenty of players will not like it.

But I sometimes ask this - why? What's the fun part behind this or what's the point?

I don’t want to hear your heavy breathing, your children screeching like some asshole owl, or what sounds like domestic violence ongoing in the background. I just don’t. I understand we have lives but just use push to talk. I don’t mind if I hear these noises ongoing during your callouts but just through.. push to talk. I can’t even fathom how this would be an unpopular opinion but every time I voice this thought; I receive backlash.

Hi,

I've only really played a tiny bit of Monster Hunter on PSP, so pretty beginner. I picked up the Master Edition and read that the base game is dead. Given that I'm pretty beginner I heard to take your time and not use the guardian set.

I'm used to games where you get to the endgame and that's where "the real game begins" and not sure if it's fun to play solo in a dead base game. Is it better in Icebourne with actual players to co op with?

Let me know if I'm missing anything or misunderstood -- thanks community :)

From top 10, Mario Kart 8, Smash Brother, and Mario Party are pretty much the holy trio of party games and combine for 80 million copied sold. Heck even Animal Crossing has a serviceable local 4 player mode. I enjoyed Odyssey with my daughter last night, she loved playing as the hat.

11 and 13, Mario Brother and Mario World both have 4 players local coop, ten million copies each at full prices, not bad for old ports. I never play Mario Brother by myself, but so many parents experienced childhood memory at my house, and buy for themselves.

When is Sony and Microsoft going to wake up and realize consoles are meant to be played in the living room with a family? How come the only local multiplayer games on Steam are coming from Indies with trash graphics and production value?

Switch is over 90 million units sold, poised to catch up to PS4.

Good morning, afternoon or evening. I'm now gathering data for my research paper under the subject The Contemporary World. I hope you folks can help me because this will be the culmination of my studies for this 2nd trimester. Just answer the questions within the survey so I can tabulate the data to complete my studies. I hope the mods make this a sticky for a week so I can gather as many respondents as I can. Thank you for helping out to filling out. I'm forever grateful.

I am a university student who has learned a bit of frontend and never dealt with backend. But for an assignment, I need to build a multiplayer card game in Java (I am allowed to use JS for frontend, though) and would appreciate some help on the resources and tutorials I should be going through. Someone recommended me to learn WebSockets, and I watched a few videos on that, but they all went over my head, so I would appreciate some beginner-friendly advice. Thanks!

Hello, I have had a community for the game on discord for quite a while and we are about thirty strong. We are organizing a game for Nov 27th and would like to extend an invite to anyone who would like to join. I would suggest joining asap so you can be a part of a discussion on what time we play and what mods will be used. https://discord.gg/FT3hbDGn

The gaming community's acceptance of pumping 1000+ hours into a single game is absurd and saddening.

Used to love multiplayer games but the barrier to entry these days is absolutely insane, I don't have an extra 150 hours of time just to make sure I'm not below average (I'm looking at you PUBG).

The amount of pride people take in how good they are in a game(presuming you're not a professional) is messed up. There's a difference in getting better to have more fun and getting better just so that you can say/display that you're better to bunch of anonymous people online.

Recently my friends and I have wanted to play some games together. We don't want to play any games which we have already started independently, like DST or Rocket League. If anyone has any idea of video games which are at least 4 player, easy to run (since two of our friends still use laptops) and cheap ;since we don't want to spend a fortune, please leave a comment. Anything helps.

Every class was essentially a full character but the available list was huge. Male and female variants of every one. I remember you picked by scrolling sideways (left or right) through the list before choosing one.

Dungeon crawling, action combat (as much as it ever got for that era of gaming, 'press x to attack' level of complexity).

Bright/cartoony proportions and visual style.

Just one of those "man I loved this game as a kid, now what the hell was it called" moments.

EDIT: I don't even recall if it was a Playstation game, by the way, it was just around that time.

UPDATE: It's not Norrath, Baldur's Gate, Gauntlet or any of those dark/semi-realism fantasy style games. Very cartoony.

I used to be a big Fortnite and Cod player (stopped a few years ago), but something I remember about those games was how the other players were... I don't like judging in absolutes, but in general there were a lot more immature players.

Then, the other day, I was browsing Roblox (don't judge) the other day and found an old game that I used to play years ago. It was popular back then but now it only has about 20 players playing at a time. So I was like "great, those are probably gonna be the leftover players that just shit around." I was pleasantly surprised by how mature they were and how good I was able to have conversations with them - on Roblox no less!

I notice this with subreddits, too. The less popular subreddits seem to have a nicer and more passionate userbase than the more popular subs.

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone can find that one multiplayer horror game that Manly posted on his channel? Where they go to a house and tries to escape a ghost girl, and if she touches you you turn into a ghost? I remember it was a really funny video, but can't find it now. Did Manly delete or private it? What a shame, I wanted to rewatch it.

I’m an artist with little technical know how, and I wanted to ask how multiplayer browser games work?

Specifically, who acts as the server? The site host?

Is it the same for these ‘.io’ games I see so many of (Surviv.io, slither.io etc…)?

If not, how do .io games differ?

Okay, so I've installed halo infinite via the Xbox Game pass for pc, and I want to play multiplayer with my friends on Steam so is there a way I can play on Steam with the halo infinite game I already have downloaded or am I just going to have to redownload the multiplayer on Steam if I want to play on Steam ? Sorry idrk how to word this but Ty for any help
