Communities that ruined the game.

[Kyogissun]

Call of Duty
Sonic
Mass Eff- Wait, no, that was the mainstream masses begging for it to be turned into a pure TPS, my bad
Halo... Sorta, as others said it's not as bad as CoD
World of Warcraft (Just watch Trade Chat in a city for 20-30 minutes someday, trust me)
Pokemon (EV/Tourney trainers, MY GOD)
Super Smash Brothers
For that matter, ANY FIGHTING GAME EVAR
Metroid Other M (BAWWWWWW, NO DADDY ISSUES IN MY SCI-FI, BAWWWWWW)

And that's about all I can think off of the top of my head.

World of Warcraft.
League of Legends.
Half the shooters in existence.

Most Source mods for me, I haven't encountered such an infuriating group of morons in my life, you know the sort, they play the Same. Fucking. Nerdy. Catchphrase down their mics, to the applaud of their moronic lackeys. Muting these is only temporary, as some [if not most] servers have stupid sounds that appear when you type a certain word, 9000 for example. Type that in chat and you hear a playback of Vegeta saying it, not only is it not funny at all, it's also held to be divine comedy by these buffoons who will repeat it over and over again.

And don't get me started on all that disturbing furry art they spray everywhere.

DotA. Oh god DotA. Half the games don't make it past five minutes because someone dies once and ragequits, and three quarters of the players have no idea what they're doing. Still, one eighth of the games are fantastic, so I grudgingly continue to slog through the crap in search of those few shining diamonds in the rough.

If you're willing to play, I'm willing to learn. o.o I currently play LoL only, since it's a bit easier to grasp, but, I can always pick Juggernaut back up.

With that said, OT: I missed DotA on my list.

I would sum it up in Xbox Live, every online game, honestly can't find anything more vile and rotten then the people you find there.

 

[Woem]

Red Dead Redemption in Public Roam, especially when you're trying to do a challenge that requires you to not die. It's frustrating to clear a hideout perfectly and then getting shot by a random stranger who has no business whatsoever with you.

Minecraft is begining to get like this, because there are two kinds of servers.
1. A nice server with a decent OP, but is ran from a laptop for two hours a day
2. An insanely powerful dedicated server with a player base of 200, but harsh, sometimes even abusive OP control freaks, a so called "Economy" that consists entirely of fixed prices, and a community that just turns the game into "Like single player, but other massive structures pop up randomly"

I am thinking of starting a server for just me and my RL friends, which would end up falling into the first category, but with 8GB RAM and Quad Core instead of a barely functional laptop.

The server i play on isnt like either of those, its a dedicated creative server with excellent moderation, non intrusive gameplay mods and a maximum of i believe 20 players at a time, although we rarely have that, maybe on saturday nights. its currently in a state of survival due to the recent update, waiting for the mods to update as well. if you want to try it out go to twentymine.com although i would wait for survival to finish.

on topic though, i would say morrowind elitists in the elder scrolls community and battlefield 2 elitists in the battlefield community who disregard bad company because it was different. ive played morrowind, and every battlefield game, but even i cant believe how eliteist these guys are

For fucks sake people. Stop fucking camping when you're the attacking team!

Me and my friends have a good technique for campers (especially snipers) when we are attacking and they wont move up. Smoke grenades. And plenty of them. And covering them in tracer darts works well too.

 

[Mad1Cow]

The Alliance, WoW. Seriously Yahtzee said it best, why play Alliance? They're just annoying, unimaginative and have no interesting plot lines. The Horde has betrayals within it's walls and leaders fighting leaders, none of this "LET'S GO BLAME THE ORCS AGAIN!" like the humans keep trying to brush past us. Also Goblins>Gnomes tenfold. All the annoying 10 yr olds go alliance so whenever I think "I'll play a dwarf, dwarves look cool" an elf comes up to me screaming "I WANT GOLD, WANNA CYBER!?!" ALWAYS ruins the game for me even when I expect it...

RuneScape.

/thread

...

Don't you HATE it when people do that? But seriously. RuneScape.

agreed. When I played, people used noob like it was going out of style. had a lower level then opponent. noob. your character not focused in one skil. noob. attacking your opponent in a minigame of what you're supposed to do. noob.

now, come to think of it, I'm rather glad I left.

Red Dead Redemption matchmaking. I got on, "oh this is kinda cool i might get some friends on wit-" *bang* Dead.
Then the same guy followed me to each spawn and continued to kill me again and again for no reason. Logged out and in, same guy, same situation. Tried again, different guy, same situation. Tried AGAIN, yup, killed by a different random on entering the game.

I have heard of multiplayer matches, co-op matches and free-roam fun from reviews. But the community ignores that for cheaps kills on newbies.

A million times this. The amount of times I have joined a rush game only to find all 12 attacking players sniping is insane.

This too. At least they added that friendly one, but even on there you get people who shoot your horse and crap.

This gentlemen is correct. I found it rather amusing that when they removed the wilderness and free trade, the community was in an uproar and many people quit. Then when they brought it back, the community was in an uproar and many people quit. There's just no pleasing people.

 

[Leg End]

I've encountered many more 8 year old kids who scream "fag" at me in Call of Duty.

>Calling the mighty baconlord a fag.
That says it all really. :/

OT: Call of Duty.
Halo.
Metal Gear Online.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Most of the games in that stack. :/

Yeah...

 

[Dr. Win]

I don't really understand why people are coming down on TF2.
I've never seen anyone bag someone else out for not having a novelty hat, 99.9% of the people I've met online were friendly, an the game feels balanced enough for people to get buy without using the store (I haven't used the store once).

OP: Bioware games' community, specifically; The RPG puritans
I'm talking about the "BIOWARE SHOULD NEVER TRY SOMETHING NEW, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STATS RARRR"
They annoy me, and put me off Bioware games for a while...
