There's a correlation between video game players and bad

Sounds like you just pick shitty people to play with.

>>50162338
Does it? Because I also quite often have very good people to play with. They just tend to play less video games.

>>50162338
First post best post.

>>50162309
>Tell me I'm right.

No.

>Tell me I'm right.
Don't lie. What you really wanted was a (you).

Also you sound like a colossal faggot.

>>50162309
Not really. My group consists of lots of guys who play video games, and the guy who knows the most about them tends to end up being the party leader because he's the most willing to chat it out with NPCs.

In fact, the guy in our group who didn't really play that many videogames ended up making some terrible special snowflake and quitting the group out of uselessness. Another guy only plays one game and tends to make the same character each time and barely participate.

If anything, my experience is the opposite. The more games a person has played, the more engaged they seem to be.

>>50162309
Correlation yes. Causation no. I

find that oftentimes people that can't socialize properly for whatever reason tend to enjoy video games because of the anonymity they Grant and how loose the moral and social codes are in those online communities. Some of those people try tabletop because there is quite a bit of overlap between the communities.

>>50162309
Not at all. In my group the one who tends to be the least engaged in the one who is the least into video games.

Hell the most avid gamer in the group is the GM, and she's doing a great job. Best GM I've ever had.

>>50162309
Quentin was, is and always will be right.

>she

>>50162309

Nope. Not finding any statistics backing up your claim.
Sorry.

>>50162309
Nah OP, you're just an idiot.

>>50162309
Nah, I'll disagree.

Maybe it's because I used to play a lot of WoD, but my worst encounters were with amateur actors and people more on the "creative" side, especially if we're talking about hogging spotlights and being a shitty bully that makes characters unfitting to the game.
I've also been pressured by such people to let them go away with ridiculous shit, only for them to storm off once they discovered that their shit shall be shot down once entering my table's no fly zone.

Bad behavior by vidya nerds I've encountered was more about expired memes and being a fucking spaz. Worst offender kept interupting us when he wasn't playing to tell random shit, stopped once he jumped in a scene where I was saving a woman that was dying so he could tell us about cookie clicker and the entire table let out a mixture of groans and fuck offs.

>tl;dr
You aren't totally right.

>>50162376
Really? And does the guy who's the party leader include the rest of the party?

>>50162388
This seems very reasonable. I often wonder if gamers think they'd be really into RPG's because of the nerd-appeal, but are then proven wrong. But so far they've all enjoyed it.

>>50162400
I don't know about gamer Gm's actually, I can imagine they prepare harder and have a large background in fantasy to improvise with.

>>50162410
My claim is clearly incredibly subjective.

>>50162309
People who consume too much Anime are much, much worse.

Nope. The worst player by far is the pothead, followed by the belligerent hipster who thinks he knows better than everyone else even when he knows nothing about the subject.

>>50162410
They would be a bit hard to establish anyway, since pretty much 100% of RPG players would also play video games.

>>50162309
Worst player I've ever played with hated video games. They were below her. She spent her time on real hobbies, like reading Anne Rice books.

>>50162309
My two best players are both people involved with film. A lot of it has to do with the introvert/extravert thing

>>50162309

>do shit that's not logical for the party's motives

Team-based video games encourage the exact opposite, though. It doesn't matter if you do poorly if the team wins. If anything video games would encourage players to blindly self-sacrifice in the name of the common good of the party.

>>50162707
But that's only team-based video games, you're missing an entire category of non-team based games.

I'd think the problem would be with assassin creed, skyrim, bloodborne and the likes.

>>50162309
Nah shitty people are just shitty.

The 'professional gamer' in my group is by far better than the rest of the chucklefucks.

>>50162309
Yeah, there's also a correlation between number of movies starred by Nicholas Cage abd number of survivors in helicopter accidents

As a GM, I find that many of my best players from /tg/ and IRL have been hardcore gamers. You are conflating annoying self identified "gamers" with all gamers. These are the people who still might unironically make a portal reference in 2016, wear video game related shirts exclusively, buy any new shitty games because it's the thing to do, etc. They might have a lot of game knowledge, but these are the type of people who you want to avoid. #notallgamers

>You are conflating annoying self identified "gamers" with all gamers.
Pssh, I'm not doing that.
> people who still might unironically make a portal reference in 2016
Huh...
> wear video game related shirts exclusively
Wow
>buy any new shitty games because it's the thing to do
Yeah that's what's happening here alright.

>>50162759
Someone or something has fucked up when a player is saying "A single-player game taught me to be a dick to my teammates!" and I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the game.

>>50162707
I think the OP's retarded, but if you've played any team game you would know there's a bunch of fucking morons obsessed with getting the SICKEST REPLAY

>>50162844
When has a player ever told you he was a dick to his teammates?
He doesn't say it, it's just a behavior.

>>50162309

Not really, sounds more like confirmation bias is at work here.

>>50162827

lol your thread is shit

>>50162309
I play video games, watch movies, like most genres of music, like plays (although they're far too expensive to do as a regular thing) and reads books, i'm a forever GM, my friends play video games and watch anime and apart from some stupid references twice a session they do things fine.

>>50162875
That's true, but also a failure of the person to learn, not the game to teach.

>>50162883
You've missed the point, and fantastically so. Single player games cannot teach someone how to perform in a team, poorly or otherwise, because there's no team dynamics to learn from. Playing Skyrim didn't give your player bad habits, your player developed bad habits while playing Skyrim.

How fat and bald are you exactly?
