Why do we get so assfucked when it comes to online gaming?
If you're bored of, or don't want to play CSGO, WoW or LoL - you're fucked.
We're extremely limited to being able to enjoy online gaming as each game we try to get into is 300ms+
So my fellow aussies - What do you play beside the big 3?

Because you live on the wrong side of the planet?
How is this difficult to understand
>Why do we get so assfucked when it comes to online gaming?
NZ here and Aus/NZ online gaming used to be fine because of ISPs/gaming communities hosting their own dedicated servers. You could play all the big games at the time (MoH, UT, Quake, CoD1-4, TFC, TF2, CS, CSS, BF, etc) no problem.
When dedicated servers began eroding away, we were forced into p2p/matchmaking and shit hit the fan for online gaming down here.
try being a spic
not only you get fucked if you don't want to play the big 3, you have to play with brazilians if you don't want to ping through the roof
Internet is shithouse.
Communites are small outside of those games.
I play Sven Coop, sometimes.
There's two hundred fucking million of you.
about 20% of them are rich enough to play videogames
and about 1% of that 20% actually likes videogames
nobody wants you retards for anything.
get to work terraforming that shitty little island of yours if you want to be useful.
I just want to play MMOs but 200-300ms latency pretty much mean no endgame content, no PVP, nothing playable except WoW
pretty much gave up on online gaming. I can only read the threads and look at the games videos/streams. Americans will never understand this feeling
fucking this
I tried FFXIV but you go and try to do extreme shit with 200ms
it's just boring and I get depressed
I wish I was american so I could own guns and play online videogames
Rocket League works well.
I play any game I like online because I have the NBN you fucking plebs.
Sometimes I see some of you cunts playing in Rising Storm, you're alright. Definitely better than the average yuroshitter. And this is coming from a yuroshitter.
because we live in the greatest country on earth overall, some compromises have to be made.
We also enjoy the second highest standard of living in the world behind Norway

with the United states sitting at an earnest number 8.

>not mentioning the chinese holiday money launderers buying up all our houses, ruining the market
>also not mentioning the migrant students taking up all the spots in university
If you had a decent qualification and applied you could become a u.s citizen.
Unfortunately we're not accepting 16 year olds living with their parents at the moment.
>not mentioning the chinese holiday money launderers buying up all our houses, ruining the market
sold to them by greedy AUSTRALIAN baby boomers
got a point with the migrant students though
BF1, Titanfall 2 (attrition only :(), Rust, Overwatch, R6S, The elder scrolls, Rocket league, The Division and Miscreated.
However, I'm also bored of these games and have started going back to Single Player. Just started Skyrim again...
Can they please fucking hurry up and roll out the NBN.
And the fact that they're stopping dedicated servers the cheap cunts...
Watch out bro, the emus are near you.
I'm 20 and studying geology
but american society sucks dick so I would actually never live there
maybe Canada
i never hear kiwis complain. How com you guys do it all the time.
Do the middle earthers have better internet due to smaller country?
Your download speeds will be faster, but it doesn't improve your latency
I'm on UFB in Auckland, which is pretty much the nz equivalent
least you get cheap food and cheap luchador matches.
I want to move to a country with good internet, active game communities, mostly white population and winter that lasts longer than a fucking month. Where should I move? How's Finland?
There are less of them.
less people == less complaints
Canada
now this is shitposting.
>Finland
good, if you want to kill yourself because of depression
>itt
I wish the emus got all of you. ALL OF YOU
What part of what he said is untrue?
Plenty of cunts play SFV. There's also Paladins and Overwatch.
Having friends is the only way to play shit.
Kiwis just don't complain that much. Probably used to being butt fucked by the govt* and everyone else and just don't care.
*They'll probably politely explain that their govt butt fucks far more tenderly than most other people's, and gloat about this a little if you ask though.
dont you guys have arcades or smash tourney buildings?
you guys love cars too. So get into your "utes" grab some snacks (meat pies and sausage rolls) and drive your ass to some place to play.
Do you all live in specific bumfuck egypt parts of straya?
>playing any other game besides CS:GO, BF, Dota 2 or Overwatch.
People with more options buy said games, or download them if they are free just to never touch them and keep playing the same old games.
Nah I'll fight a fucking emu.
A cassowary though..
can you explain kiwis and scooters to me? australlians or kiwis got real butthurt one time about one of the others doing an imitation of each other.
>cheap luchador matches
I wish, I'm not mexican
we have free football though
FFXIV's Japanese server is acceptable if you have decent infrastructure and either a good ISP or a tunnel. You can get below the 150 ping threshold where you don't really experience input delays.
listen cunt its all good fun shitposting.
>aussies
>they call they're friends cunt and their enemies m8.
We have pretty bad arcades, I know there's a SFIV machine in the city. But usually it's all the normie kind of bowling games.
There's an old SFII machine at the local club and a SFIII (Some weird version of it) at one of the pubs. But that's all i've managed to find.
This, I live in fucking Tasmania and get 160ms on JP FFXIV server
well tell me what country so i can make baseless assumptions about you and shit user. shit this is a Tibetan buffy the vampire fanfic site is it not?
Pfff it's your problem not mine
i feel for you cunt. hope it works out.
look, all you need to know is that i'm white, okay?
i'm white
white as the driven snow
I'm white.
White.
i think the best we got is a timezone, i live in a semi rural area but i heard in melbourne or one of the actual cities theres a meet up thing once a month where people play fighting games together.
i have a little toyota corolla and i love meat pies and sausage rolls.
SUBSCROIB TO ME FACKIN BLOG, CUNT
>160ms
>Decent
Only for FF14
Our RO2/RS community is dead so I guess joining yuros is all that's left those still wanting to play.
I had a lot of fun times with them though, and most of those lads are decent.
who complains more? abbos or austalian teens that play online games?
australian teens that play online games by a mile
abos are too wasted to care
Tell us about those games you're playing with 50 ping on North American servers.
Aussie teens
Boongas have port sponsored by the gubbment so they don't give a shit.
dont know much cept for messi posting on Sup Forums and you guys have iguana tacos.
WHERES ME FACKIN PETROL
it's ok, i like my country irrelevant and far from WW3
>iguana tacos
fucking what? you memeing me son?
>google population of NZ
>4.4 mil (2013)
>google population of Victoria
>5.7 mil (2013)
thats still 2 million people
Nah lad, play on yank servers, Merryl's Marauders and Bloodbath (in the former you can go full Sup Forums and nobody will give a fuck, the latter's admins have a stick up their asses so beware). In both of those people will actually talk and try to coordinate, unlike euro servers like 40-1, I hate them so goddamn much. Also you can join those servers even if you're full in case you weren't aware of that.
No way bro. Saw a food channel documentary.
you guys dug a big pit put a goat and iguanas in it to bbq and put them on tortillas.
HANG ON BABE, I GOTTA FUEL DOCKET FOR YAH
fuck you i didn't check the math
you know what i meant, dick
How do you guys get over the online gayming meme?
I want to play online games with all the cool kids, but I just have to settle for watching twitch streams
No I'd rather not play with 300-400 ping. I'll just wait warmly for Rising Storm 2 and dick around in Squad while I do.
>euro servers
man something about the french and dutch and scandas man.
germans and uk are okay.
spanish and portugal is hit and miss.
>TOR releases several months late in aus because we're getting servers here
>Servers get closed down after a year anyway
It hurts
This.
I used to play Medal of Honor all the time back in highschool with my friends, I had shit internet but it was still fine. Today it's all p2p and it's fucked. OR server is in Europe/America and ping sucks for MMOs.
captcha = Australian Banco
the fuck?
Never heard of that to be honest
goat asado sure, but tortillas? and iguanas?
Must be a thing from other provinces
Use to play wow with 300ms and that was decent, fuck off
>play online
>lag like shit
>know that other players experience my lag too
>shit up their games as much as possible
It's like you don't even know how to aussie
Which ISP?
I'm with TPG and they suck. Only went with them years ago because I used to download gigabytes of movies/tv every month, now I don't. Moving this year so I'll change ISP. Who is good?
This is cropped. Isn't it?
australians have way worse internet than nz not to mention all the censorship and game prices
NZ game prices are even higher.
I've been on internode for years, though they were acquired by the forces of evil a while back. Haven't noticed a drop in quality. Their regular connection to Japan is almost as good as a result from a tunneling service, though you may need one if you're in a place that's not quite good enough to chop down trees without a bit of lag.
Prices have been more or less in line with the exchange rate for years now.

>What do you play beside the big 3?
I don't play any of the "Big 3"
As for what I play, varies a bit, this week....
KF2
Arma 3
Age of Empires 2
Anno 1404
Payday 2
Forza Horizon 3
Dark Souls 3
Don't Starve Together
Worms Reloaded
Squad
Depth
Insurgency
Total Warhammer
Terraria
Civ VI
Risk of Rain
Mount & Blade Warband
Men of War Assault Squad 2
Helldivers
No problems whatsoever playing any of them online and tactical shooters in particular have a fucking awesome community in Aus.
>worms
god playing with you must be hell
too much bantz from you and the worms.
Usually TF2 or BF4 and Hardline. I really don't like Online, it feels like a disorder, I usually prefer TES or Fallout. Also Half Life or Portal
can you aussies and kiwis recognize each other online when youre on mics?
Usually the sounds of sheep sodomy from the other rooms gives the kiwis away
It's easy.
Mate = Aussie
Bro = Kiwi
>tfw hot seating Worms over New Years with half a dozen mates on the big telly in the lounge.
It was a good feel.
>not keeping your sheep under your desk that you can sodomise and vidya at the same time
>can you aussies and kiwis recognize each other online when youre on mics?
Do people actually think Aussies and Kiwi's sound anything alike?
It's that bad? I usually get around 200 ping on Merryl's. Anyway you could also try playing with nips and chinks, their servers seem to be pretty active.
Euros in RO2/RS are total cancer. Nobody talks, shitters never fail to snatch important roles such as commander, SL1, tank crew, etc. If you say something you'll be more often than not just ignored. Also the teamkilling was so bad to the point the devs made so that if you are TKd you drop none of your gear.
Fish and chips = Aussie
Fush und chups = Kiwi
yes quite easily, you see Kiwi's have literally the worst accent in the world:
>sex/sux instead of six
>fush and chups
>piddle instead of paddle
They're cool people otherwise though
tfw too much lag for Forged Alliance Forever and ruin almost every game I join because of it
fuck, sounds like fun. i spent new years with two mates playing trauma center on the wii. was k.
>Both of those aren't chink
This is the kind of guy that thinks hungry jacks isn't just burger king.
I suppose I should ask here. How's the population for Titanfall 2 here? I'll probably be playing on the Sydney server.
...
Isn't the biggest server in RUST an Australian server? And RUST has great lag compensation.
whats up with the common wealth and the decline of fish and chips?
>bongs - muh kebak
>canadians - muh poutine - soon to be muh stir fry
>aussies - your mums puss
>kiwis - fush an chups
>boers - accck zulus stop spearing me!
I know a lot of Aussies who can't identify Canadians unless they're walking stereotypes, so it's not that surprising.
What games are there thats not so ping dependent?
Like, I can play without being at an unfair disadvantage because I'm not in USA?
Really? The cocks in their mouth tend to be a dead giveaway.
I find Canadians easy to recognize by their not-terrible sense of humor
