This may sound dumb for some of you but I just can’t play online, or at least I can’t play anything with chat or a very social aspect. That’s why I only play tekken on my xbox since that doesn’t require socialisation but I have so many games and I feel half of them are worthless now that I finished the campaigns because I don’t play them online.
People said “use discord” but that shit is so counter intuitive to use isn’t like reddit, that just find a sub and connect. I don’t like that you need invitations and that every game is subs inside subs and diverse chats… is too much.
I don’t bother communicating. I just play silently and usually mute the chat if it is toxic. Even games like overwatch worked out ok playing without communicating.
The only time I had a decent experience playing with strangers was when I found specific gaming subs or Discord communities (e.g. casual gaming, gaming dads, etc) and played in a Discord voice channel. This was actually a really good experience in games like Street fighter or Apex legends. I could do dumb shit in game and they’d be completely chill and say “it happens” and carry on to the next game. Haven’t done this for the last couple of years though.
Dude I fucking love Overwatch with no talking.
What I really want is to be part of a team of gamers who plays stuff as a team, silently.
I want to play with the same team so we can get really good at working together, but it want it to be all unspoken.
Would you like to do that with me?
Dude, I’d love to get a group going for this and make it happen; but honestly I don’t play Overwatch anymore and it’s difficult to make time for multiplayer games anymore with kids and busy work. I only get a chance to play a bit of Street fighter 6 and some quick single player games.
I would’ve loved that back when I was playing a lot more
