>Multiplayer/co-op game comes out
>Really want to play it with someone
>Can't because I have no friends who play vidya
>Have to play with randoms and hate it
What's having vidya friends like?
>>380638316
It's really great. You form in-jokes with them and have a lot of laughs over stupid stuff and eventually become close enough you buy each other stuff because each of you wants the other to be happy. And learn to work together in games to stomp on pubbies.
>>380638316
Shit
They're all plebs
>"heys guys wanna play a multiplayer game?"
>"no too busy working on [something]"
T-thanks
>>380638316
I hear you OP. I have like 10 multiplayer games i want to play but everyone is either way more socially awkward than I am or not at all.
Nothing worth your time, friends are fucking shit. I was lied to, then thrown away.
>>380638316

>OW?

>>380638649
That shit sounds gay as fuck. Why would buy a videogame and give it to a friend?
I'm sure if u had a gf u wouldnt even think about buying stuff for her
>>380638679
tim is that you?
>>380638316
Shit.
Never want to play co-op, or anything interesting.
They move from game to game that they sink 1000 hours in and are still bad.
Remember the majority of people are normies, gamer or not.
>>380638316
Play Squad, develop friends. Play other games with them. Done
>>380638316
It's good
>>380638316
You're friendless because your a loser
>>380639493
I like to wait for games with online multiplayer to go cheap, then buy several up at once, then give the extra copies to friends who might be interested, and store one or two to find out what to do with later.
Getting a free game feels good, giving a game feels good, and it increases the amount of people you can play it with.
>>380641651
This. Plus me and my friend often buy eachother games depending on our financial situation at the time
Why don't we all make friends?
>>380638316
Its like a powerlevelled toon, you had fun but now you have to figure out how to use it.
>>380642171
What's a toon?
>>380642859
Character for people who hate jesus.
>>380641504
yeah i know
>>380638316
My friends and I grew apart. I am now a depressed NEET that lives alone playing videogames.
>>380643327
Could be worse.
At least you had friends
It can be absolutely crushing
>Been friends with the some group of guys for almost 20 years
>One of them is a nearly 30 year old autist who refuses to leave mommy's house, plays with legos all day, and is an absolute fucking shitter about "UNF IMMA PRO GAMUR EVERYONE BUT ME SUCKS"
>Two of them became raging SJW faggots who worship PEE CEE MUSTARD RAYS bullshit and refuse to play any console games
>ANY console games, PERIOD, they all scoffed when I brought over Snipperclips
>Other friend is just kind of a pushover and will only do what the others force him into
>Give up and just focus on school while only occasionally dropping in once or twice every couple weeks to play some Rocket League or something
What I want to know is why there's not a generic community for /v/ that's not actually on /v/ and not actually associated with 4chan.
I just want the people here but not the politics.
>>380643645
My friends just aren't interested in vidya at all.
I'm mostly ok with it. Better that they don't because that way I don't have to deal with them having poor taste.
>>380644446
It hurts the most because we all used to play the same shit, we all bought all kinds of shit because of each other, but once college came around and those two turned into SJW faggots they sold all of their consoles and games and play exclusively on PC now.
Autist and I at least used to play every single co-op game under the sun until he became just so fucking unbearable to be around.
>Sm4sh comes out
>We both win pretty 50/50
>When he wins "AWW FUCK YEAH YOU FUKKEN SUCK DOOD HOW AM I EVER GONNA BE READY FOR EVO"
>When I win "whatever that character is fuckin cheap anyway fuckin' hacker bullshit"
>Obnoxious Falcon memer who has to scream HYES every time he hits you with a move
>>380644989
I'm starting to think that you're the autist here.
>>380645989
>Not wanting to be around a couple of spoiled brats who call you A FUCKING WHITE MALE over every little thing or an obnoxious manbaby makes you an autist
>>380646269
Yeah, I'm really starting to think that they're not the problem in your situation.
>>380645989
No, I think it's the poor sport
>>380646412
I am absolutely blown away how you read my posts and came to that conclusion
>Two of them are absolute spoiled brats who still get everything paid for by mommy and daddy despite almost being 30 who are stuck up cunts about everything
>One of them is an obnoxious memespouting idiot who lives off of pizza rolls and chicken patties while his mom fuses with the couch and literally threatens him to keep living with her if he tries to move out, borderline Chris Chan situation
>I'm the bad guy for wanting to play video games drama free
>>380647010
Well, what's your situation?
>>380647549
>Been living on my own since I was 20 because of strict parents I couldn't deal with (bring home A's, WHY AREN'T THEY A+'s YOU LITTLE SHIT) kind of parents
>Own my own home in the country and on my way to Med School while they still live at home because SJW #1 got a English degree and SJW #2 got an art degree
>Bust my ass working 40+ hours a week to be able to go to school because I can't just have my parents pay for me
>Friends who have literally never worked a day in their lives can't comprehend why I don't want to stay up until four in the morning playing games every night and can only do it on weekends
>>380648116
Yeah, you're definitely the problem
>>380638316
Well you can start by making friends and finding out.
>>380648681
How do I do that?
It's amazing, IF and ONLY IF they ever decide to retreat from their comfort zone and actually try to enjoy a game, rather than nit-pick about how hard a game is in the first round of a match and quit.
>>380648742
Well you'rre doing it right now, tell us about yourself and what you want to play.
If you don't want /v/ friends (understandable) you can always just look into joining groups and guils, take activity and be patient and talk about yourself (just cut out any of the fetish part, lil tip unless you are joining a fetish group). If things goes sour you move on, if not then you are on your way to make internet friends.
In real life? Join up in groups and converse with people, you may not be good at it and be socially disgusting, but you will get better and you will strike with some kind of friend unless you are really, really unlucky.
>>380649212
>If you don't want /v/ friends (understandable) you can always just look into joining groups and guils
I wonder where that is though
I can't think of a generic place to talk about games other than here
>>380649550
Oh simple. Look for a game that falls into the category you like on steam and go into the groups tag and look around for the least meme-y one (or maybe you want that, you do you) or literally google [Game] groups.
Remember, getting friends is a lot like getting girls, you're not guaranteed to the first or even 10th you ask, but you know its the whole infinite monkeys can write shakespear thing.
>>380650108
>getting friends is a lot like getting girls
>>380650305
Not literally, jesus.
>>380650537
Maybe there's still hope then
>tfw having 2 other friends who both love fighting games
>We are all equally skilled
Even better when one of us discovers new tech and destroys the other two.
