Do they exist?
It seems like every big game these days has communities that are completely "toxic", with angsty teenage kids who will verbally abuse other players and intentionally make their teams lose.
What are some games with good communities, if any?
How do you define good?
Reflex Arena
Monster Hunter
Helpful to new players , not abusive , not obsessed with measuring their e-penis
>toxic
grow past the age of 18 and learn to look away from the monitor
this
the chat function is so dysfunctional that you have to take several extra miles to trashtalk
Have you ever played overwatch ? It's bordering on unplayable because of the amount of trolls. Heard the same is true for league.
it gets better past GM because people want to win. git gud, or play scrims
Yep, Reflex, maybe Touhou and general SHMUP stuff. Brigador. Maybe and I mean MAYBE Osu/Stepmania, but there's e-peen shit there.
Hard to rank up when 50% of my games have someone throwing
That's besides the point though, its not even worth dealing with the abuse when I just want to enjoy playing a game
then play QP or learn to mute/block people. not really hard user. 50% is a meme btw. you should definitely be able to carry yourself to Masters with Pharah. and even if that 50% was true then that means enemy team should have throwers too. just git gud
I am ~25 hours into warframe and the community is pretty chill and helpful so far.
many PVE games have comfy-ish communities.
Warframe and Path of Exile are decent examples.
True Roguelikes.
destiny 2 is pretty chill since they had the gall to not put in zone/general chat and no one really talks in fireteams either so I like to imagine everyone's just the nicest person ever
You'll only really see that with aged communities that are barely still alive, like UT and UT2004.
discord.gg/unrealtournament
discord.gg/reflex
Siege had a good community till all the csgo rejects that couldnt go pro in that game came over. Only thing with good communities now are some fighting games and some of the arena shooters.
If we look at the community as a whole tho, its arguably one of the worst because of how disappointing D2 was for us fans
is destiny worth looking into if I never played the first but am liking warframe so far? People are always comparing them for some reason
It depends on what community you're talking about.
Competitive games(MOBAs, Team based Shooters, Fighting, and Sports games) are always full of toxic players because of people are sore winners as there are losers.
MMORPGs/Gacha games are the same, just filled with weebs.
Casual games fill like you're babysitting 8 year olds while playing at the same time.
RTS are fun in idea if it wasn't for whoever has the fastest hand speed wins.
Playing online and having fun with a stranger is a diamond in a dozen.
I really only said that because I was angry they never put in zone chat under the excuse that "ppl r mean :("
the clan that I'm in are pretty nice though.
Kerbal Space Program's community is unusually wholesome. One of the nicest game communities I've ever come across.
I don't really get why people would compare the two, but it's an OK game if you like loot grinds. It's not amazing, but it isn't terrible.
Animal Crossing
The subreddit, forum, etc., are just filled with almost nothing but people showing off their accomplishments and rocket designs, and receiving genuine praise for them. It's nice.
Vermintide community is pretty chill
Dark Souls 3 Community is great No Joke so my experience in PC
because it consists of a few people
True, but still
>muh toxicity
>emoji image
you have to go back
I'm fairly certain it is ironic
If you're a hardcore player who wants to pore time into the game, its a big no, I put near 1500 hours into D1 and quit after 30 in D2, the game will improve but only through paid DLC which unless they can really fucking convince me I'm not going back
You will never find players your skill level though.
EVE
autistic centric games tend to be pretty good as a rule of thumb, games which center around learning as the mechanic of progression.
Not the one here, it was so bad it's the only game to ever be permanently banned from /vg/
Exception that makes the rule as it were
Kirby is the only one I can think of. Every community is going to be toxic in some sense though.
Among the popular ones there's a lot of drama though
