I'd like to know what fucking point Multiplayer is anymore. There used to be a time when people would use it to beat a game together or to have fun, but now it seems all its fucking for is to harbor more resentment against the human race. I can't get fucking anyone to play shit with me without having to pull teeth and whenever I play something they want, they bitch at me the whole way through for "not playing right".
What the fuck is the point of multiplayer these days? Why does it exist when it obviously is doing the opposite of the original intent of bringing more people into the fun? Multiplayer these days seems only to kill fun.
Well, you see user, why spend money on writers and sfx to make a compelling and engaging single-player experience when you can just make your game a multiplayer-only FPS deathmatch or open-world survival game?

Fuck 'em. Take the good advice they give and ignore the bad advice. They don't own you.

Just Holla Forums things.

People take multiplayer way too fucking serious these days. It's a fucking casual pub match, not some tourny final with thousands of bucks on the line, goddamn. Keep that shit in clan matches and e-sports cancer.

Maybe you just suck at video games user. Chances are your personality doesn't make up for the dead weight.

i like co-op for fucking around, VS for competition. griefing team is more fun than gud teamwork
though i heard of a space ship game that requires 4 players.

That's my problem though. I like playing them for fun but half the time, they're one of those grind-happy zombies who can't just enjoy a game because they're about fucking efficiency. They end up sucking the joy out of the experience.
It may be in some cases, but I typically don't play competitive stuff and a lot of times, said friends are bitching at me for "efficiency" reasons. I'm starting to hate that its not about the fun or enjoyment anymore. Its about the stats and how quickly you're fucking forging the Ass Blaster Ring. Its making games into second jobs.
Sadly it seems these games are becoming way too rare and any that do get made are either so garbage, so widespread on youtube, or way too twee that no one wants to play them.

I feel you man, i used to even have one friend who i could play anything and still have fun because we were the best of bros Rest in peace you magnificent bastard, i'l never forget you and if i ever have kids i'l name them after you but people like that are rare. Easier to find someone who's not a virgin on Holla Forums than pal who just wants to actually have fun.

The reason multiplayer changed so drastically, is because people resonate it as something that addresses them personally with rewards for being constantly good at it.
Game creators are very aware of this. That's why things like achievements, unlockable items, etc, are now heavily targeted at players as an incentive to focus on more-so than just the usual "you kicked someones ass" or "your ass got smoked".
I think it's a different type of substitution now, entertainment wise. It's intertwined with being both a form of entertainment, and a form of tickling your brains reward center on a frequent basis.
This probably came about when some old guy realized his kids going absolutely ape-shit about getting gold star stickers on the fridge, and realized "hey I can put that in a game".
