I think it's amazing how quickly we went from "holy shit I can talk to people online!" to "why the frick would I ever talk to people online"
And in my lifetime no less, what an achievement.
As an introvert it hurts because gaming is one of the few ways I socialize with people outside of work, so it's getting harder to find anyone who wants to even have a basic convo let alone be friendly
Such is life.
Bro I play an older mmo and the social aspect is the worst fricking part, the people who still play and play all day every day are some of the biggest fricking losers you've ever come across. It's honestly sad.
Play on a pvp realm if you wanna be social, people that aren't social on pvp realms usually get fricked by groups. On pve realms people have no reason to talk to anyone unless it's to find a guild.
>play .hack back in the day >wow I can't wait for games to actually be like this! >2023 >nobody talks at all or you have to join a discord to answer a quiz to talk
Games are meant to be fun. The last time I genuinely felt a sense of community was transformice before they fricked it up with skill trees.
unfortunately the people who talk in mmo's nowadays are the type of people that nobody wants to talk to
the answer to op's question is that shit like lethal company and among us are the games you play nowadays if you want social interaction
but honestly if you're looking for social interaction in video games nowadays you're looking in the wrong place, feels like every game nowadays is removing social features
yeah if you're into roleplay and dungeon crawling with a group they're nice
some of them even have active DMs that change the dungeons you're doing to keep things interesting
because MMOs are no longer the brutal punishing timesinks that required people to talk to eachother
no one is going to talk during an FFXIV or WoW dungeon becuase the content can be completed by a toddler mashing the keyboard
you will use only our approved centralized left wing website reddit for discussion/forums, or our centralized right wing website Ganker for "free speech". you will argue and engage with bots or our shills in one of these 2 places (or in places like the youtube comments). additionally, you can chat on one of our controlled centralized platforms like discord in your own private echo chamber, or telegram in your own private echo chamber
we have polarized the internet into extreme right and left wing. you will have to choose one of these 2 places.
if you try to start a new community somewhere, we will flood that place with death threats and child porn to shut it down. you will only use our approved websites only for social interaction
people do not interact anymore because a while back, around 2016 we silently started to purge the internet. check your search engines, you'll find they return basically nothing but the same places. we cannot allow wrong think to flourish. we have censored games and replaced real players with bots for you to play with. we have also modified games to discourage social interaction, and have actively stifled it, but promoted it on games that are in alignment with our agenda. that way you will play the games we want you to play, and avoid games we don't want you to play
we have implemented silent shadow banning across all of our platforms too. most people are not even aware they are shadow banned
also, now that you know what we've been doing, you will silently suffer alone with this knowledge. your voice will be drowned out by our hoardes of bots, shills and droves of idiots who have been manipulated by our group think tactics. have fun 🙂
The most tragic part is that humans did it to themselves subconsciously. Sure, orgs can sow the seeds. It was still me that first planted it, and by decree of human nature, I nutured it to fruition. Even the orgs that do this shit do it because their human nature decrees they continue.
Most unfortunate, but that is the way things must be. All I wanted was to play vidya once in a while. Holy fricking shit dude.
It's impossible to communicate in an online game nowadays without being chat banned several days later without even knowing what word triggered the auto report and ban system.
Also the smallest amount of banter tilts all the kids playing games and gets you mass reported by zoomies.
Gachas, go take a look at /vg/ and see how many gacha generals you see. Gacha games have replaced MMOs in general.
what is a gashas?
Japanese prostitutes. Apparently it has become really popular for some reasons.
Gambling except you have a 0% of getting something valuable out of it
theyre singleplayer games
he looks like he wants to get erp gangbanged by party randos
Doesn't matter what answer anyone gives, you'll call them a troony regardless.
Raids and shit.
>go into a multiplayer game
>someone yells anyone got mic
>press the voice chat button and say "no"
>never say anything the rest of the match
>leave

>Introvert
>Wanting to socialize with deranged strangers
You're not an introvert you're just some autist that can't connect with actual people
Bro I play an older mmo and the social aspect is the worst fricking part, the people who still play and play all day every day are some of the biggest fricking losers you've ever come across. It's honestly sad.
VRChat. It's the only place you'll find people seeking to socialize.
>"People"
It's the only place you'll find people seeking to stare at a mirror

MMO combat is too "fast" these days too actually chat in the middle of a dungeon or fight.
>playing mario kart
>say 'I'm using tilt controls!'
>no one replies back
Idk I made more friends on Friday the 13th game on pc than on any game since the Xbox 360 days just cause people used mics.
>using MMOs for social interaction and not playing the fricking game
women and basement dwellers do this.
>play .hack back in the day
>wow I can't wait for games to actually be like this!
>2023

VRchat, Second Life and discord (while playing multiplayer games).
>this strikes TERROR into the heart of the zoomer/autist
this shit is the reason why my WPM was 100+ in middle school and almost 150 today
good shit
>enter dungeon
>o/
Literally nothing else is necessary.
I'm spamming rotations all the time and sprinting, it's the only thing I can type inbetween jumps
This, if there is some voice I'll chat along but typing as a tank usually cost a party member's death.
>Literally nothing else is necessary.
That's a sign of a shit coop game.

For spergs to get numbers higher.
just play on one of those neverwinter nights roleplay servers if you want to be social all the time
Are those servers any good?
I recently got the enhanced edition because I loved nwn1 but never did anything on the multiplayer

Normies flooded gaming and now socializing with them is tedious and pointless.
Single player and 1v1 pvp master race.
>say word online
>get banned
no thanks.
If you really want friend to play with just find a twitch community/discord and jump into voice chat
>the only way to experience the old day internet and that sense of wonder is to hang out in the darknet with druggies and criminals
What the frick went wrong
The gays who draw these shits don't actually talk in dungeons because I do and people answer most of the time
