I think I'm starting to hate online gaming.

I don't know why , but I have completely lost patience playing games with other people. It probably doesn't help that the only other online game I play aside from WoW is Rage Quit 4 Dead 2. I knew I really a had problems though when I got a hold of my friend's starcraft 2 beta account and stopped playing only after 3 matches.



Is it the people you play with Drel?

Definitely yes, most people who say that don't like online gaming is mostly because of the people they play with or against. I played WoW for a hell of a lot longer than I would of because of the friends I made in game. After some of my online friends stopped playing the game it a took a lot more for me to keep playing WoW, here's a screenshot of my desktop of everything that I have open to make playing an MMO bareable.



You must suck at playing multiplayer games.

This is also very true. I've always been very terrible at FPS games. I can't get constant headshots like other people due to make shaking like michael j fox sitting in a vibrating chair. I think that is the reason why I didn't get hooked on the starcraft 2 beta right out the door when I got it. All of the matches involved either me rushing 4 units to attack the enemy base first or have them do the exact same thing to me and not be prepared. At least people can't say it doesn't feel like the original Starcraft I guess.....

You're just a jaded old man who wishes that they never stopped making SNES games.

That's only about 25% true. I'm only a little bit jaded but even though some of my all time favorite games are SNES games I'm happy with where gaming is going. If it wasn't for my 360 I wouldn't have known how awesome Rez is.



I dunno maybe I should just spent a couple years playing single player only games to even out the several years of MMO play.


Edit: That screenshot got cut off and I don't know how to fix it >_<. You can stick right click on click on view image to see the whole thing though.

Im from the school of sitting with your friends in the same room and playing a game. That's multiplayer to me. I tried playing online and hated it. Ill stick to the single player experience for now.

Multiplayers is vastly overrated. Definitely capable of fun, but speaking as an early 80's gamer, games have always been more about the solitary experience (which I then share with other like-minded solitary gamers). I doubt it'll be as ephemeral as a "fad" because its clearly been around for a while and seems here to stay, but that doesn't mean I have to like/utilize it.

I know I'm really into it in bursts. Some days I play Shin Megami, some days I play shooters, some days I play Spider-man. I just play what I want.

As of late all my gaming has been online multiplayer. I think for me, it's mostly about scratching that competitive itch I have since I'm not playing sports right now. Actually the only single player game I am playing at the moment is WiiFit.

There's more than enough games out that satisfy gamers of all tastes anyways.

It will never change, so I guess you just have to deal with it if you really want to play online. Sucks, but, whaddaugonnadoo?

/agreed.

Nothing can compare to playing with another human being. Maybe that's why I've been on this board game kick for the past few months.

Yea, your first problem is playing WoW and a fighter. Fighting games are mind-numbingly retarded and that's why I stopped playing them around...oh, say...Before the PS1 came out?

Also, WoW is a shame. The lore is sweet, it's a great game, but the dev's are - of course - too fucking cowardly to do anything other than keep with the MMO-norm of rat-racing for gear.

So yea, stop playing those. Righto, mate. Cheerio.
