I just can't get beyond the idea of being tossed in with randoms. Not only am I designed to play solo but I seem to attract griefers fairly quickly.
That definitely sounds like a problem with your shit attitude, and not with the game or the randoms you team up with. Doesn't sound like it's the game for you.

My attitude is shit, as you say, because from the first time I tried getting online with randoms I've been screwed with. It's kinda hard to have an attitude of any kind when your teammate nor you speak before he kills you as the round starts. And again. Then as he finally speaks into the shitty Xbox headset he's kidding, he kills me again.

Then I get talked into trying CoD. Try to tell me nobody has had to mute or quit because of crazy assed people on there.

After that I stuck to what I knew best, single player. If that means I have a shit attitude, then yep I have a shit attitude
 
It's like the coworker I had that complained about other people being the reason he client stand playing an MMO. He thought he was the victim because the randoms wouldn't play right and ruined the experience.

Yes, you have a shit attitude.
 
Yeah, sounds like the behavior is what's inviting troll reception. Unless you're playing some ranked mode or something I feel like a little goofing around is in just about every game.

  1. Join match.
  2. Bring up roster.
  3. Turbo mute EVERYONE.
Same ritual every match.

 
It depends on the game and what kind of audience it attracts. Of course people will mute every single person in CoD, but back in the day, L4D was one of the most fun games to play which relied on communication and it still holds up like 10+ years later.

Just saw that Target is offering a coupon for $40 off a future purchase of $40+ when you sign up for a REDcard. The coupon can't be used on Xbox hardware (or any other gaming hardware), but it can be used towards games (except Switch games). Could be good for anyone that doesn't have a REDcard yet.
 
Now it's just play 5 rounds for Gears5 skin..right?

nothing about winning
It's complete 5 matches of Escalation. I completed the challenge a few weeks ago, I'd be surprised if they dropped the match win condition to win 5 rounds in ranked, though they have had Escalation events in the past where you only needed to win 5. Those may also count toward the challenge.

That's pretty good. I really should get the debit card version one day, this is a solid discount.

Spies vs Mercs. First round. Spies, spawn, partner turns around and kills me.

Round two. Spies, spawn, try to run away, partner kills me.

Next round we switch. Mercs. Spawn, partner finally speaks and says he's done, kills me. I log out.

I'm sure I did something wrong there judging the temperature in the thread here.

I'm admittedly antisocial, I also have bad social anxiety when it comes to speaking so I never use my mic. I know that probably upsets people, but I just clam up.

Just because some of you have had great experiences online doesn't wipe away my few shitty ones

One of the few times I tried Gears PvP I got my head popped by my partner right at the beginning and I was confused by this. It happened again the next round, and so I was done with that.

I mostly play Destiny now and its PvP chat is opt-in, which suits me fine. Most of the PvP modes in Destiny don't really require communication anyway, just knowledge of the match type.

I avoid games with shitty modes that allow your teammate to kill you. I don't understand why anyone would think that's a good idea. Realism? I don't think it is very realistic that you would be in a gunfight with a partner who is just going to murder you the second they get the chance.

Also, for anyone wondering, it doesn't take a shit attitude to encounter shitty people online. People that are assholes in real life are even bigger assholes online due to the perceived anonymity, and it doesn't matter what your attitude is, they are still going to be an asshole because nobody is going to stop them. Bonus points for them if the game developers make it real easy to be an asshole like making team killing a possibility.

 
I just can't get beyond the idea of being tossed in with randoms. Not only am I designed to play solo but I seem to attract griefers fairly quickly.
I am more of a single player story driven gamer myself but I absolutely love Dead By Daylight. It is 4 vs 1. If you choose to be the killer, you have no teammates and each killer has a unique play style. If you choose to be a survivor, there is no mics or chat in this game. They designed it to be quiet to keep the tension. With survivors the only frustrating things I have found is every once in awhile someone will quit if they are on a hook too long, or you'll get a team that won't come save you. But it doesn't happen often and the game is way too fun for that to stop me from playing

Why is everyone dogging on LoganDX? He doesn’t like multiplayer games then he doesn’t have to play them. Wtf does it matter to you and where’s this “shit attitude” thing coming from? Unless I missed something? This thread is beginning to be as toxic as the GameStop thread. Why all the hate?
 
At what age in a games life does a great game become a shitty game that nobody fucking cares about? Is it a hard three years? Sooner? I need to know so I can stop caring too!
"I need about tree fiddy."


Blazing Chrome looks pretty cool.. why can't all games come to gamepass and why has no one mentioned gamepass ultimate all day?

It's kinda hard to have an attitude of any kind when your teammate nor you speak before he kills you as the round starts. And again. Then as he finally speaks into the shitty Xbox headset he's kidding, he kills me again.
At the risk of cementing myself as a NARC and establishment cronie, this sounds like the exact behavior the report function is designed for. It's a win-win-win; he gets stupid petty fun free kills, you get sweet revenge when you get notified of his ban, and the rest of us never even have to run into him in the first place.

Not beginning, already has been toxic.

The $15 one was obviously better, but it was a one-time use per account so they couldn't stack on each other. 

$10 a month isn't terrible for all the stuff you get, and about what I was paying if you broke it down between Game Pass (~$5 a month) and Gold (~$3 a month) at the best deal rates when they showed up, and that was without the PC side of things. 

 
Spies vs Mercs. First round. Spies, spawn, partner turns around and kills me.

Round two. Spies, spawn, try to run away, partner kills me.

Next round we switch. Mercs. Spawn, partner finally speaks and says he's done, kills me. I log out.

I'm sure I did something wrong there judging the temperature in the thread here.

I'm admittedly antisocial, I also have bad social anxiety when it comes to speaking so I never use my mic. I know that probably upsets people, but I just clam up.

Dude, its ok. Play what you like however you like. I hate multiplayers too - I suck at the games and I dont want to ruin it for others too, especially if my team depends on it. Hate being a liability, so I end up staying away from it altogether. Then there is the whole thing about assholes in the games - if you have to mute everyone as soon as you start then thats not a game I want to be in.

The few times I played with people, I did so with folks from here. May be that's what you should do too, since you are willing to give it a try. The only game I still play online is Overwatch - and, I dont get into any conversations, just stick to the objective and do whatever I can.

You dont need to justify why you play what you play or how you play. If it isnt for you, dont do it - just as in life.

 
All this talk of muting people has me a bit surprised. I play a lot of multiplayer games and feel like next to no one uses a mic on xbox. I've had to mute people, not that frequently, but the majority of the time it's because someone is listening to music or has their TV at full volume and the mic picks it up. The worst people I've had talking are from overwatch where someone is mad that the team lost and puts a mic on in the last 30 seconds to make sure the team knows it was everyone else's fault.

For prime deals there's a few $20 and under games that have my interest but I don't think I'll pick anything up. If the wireless X1 charging stand was more than $8 off I'd get that, I use the non charging stands for all my controllers.

It was probably my kid, get super mad when he loses. Sorry!

 
so, maybe I am late to the party, but microsoft changed their rewards page? no more of the 3 sets (polls,quizzes, etc) to get points? even took away the streak count. did they move them somewhere else, or is this the end of them?

Missing from mine as well.

 
I love me some off topic but these ass grabbing sessions always ruin the sales that come later in the day. Quick let’s change the topic to something else...how bad of a game was Hellblade and how low are people’s bar for good games these days based on its praise. At its whole it had a novel concept with slow pacing, repetitive combat and pathing. Plus the whining, good grief!
 
OT PSA:

If you have a Sony Pictures account that you've used from redeeming digital movie codes, check your email for a code to upgrade movies to 4K in Movies Anywhere.

Sender: SonyPicturesStore.com <[email protected]>
Subject: FINAL NOTICE | IMPORTANT ACCOUNT NOTICE | ACTION REQUIRED FOR ULTRA MOVIES

The code included in my email let me upgrade The Fifth Element and Passengers to 4K, presumably movies I added to my overall collection by redeeming codes on their website. I don't really understand the email they sent me, but basically their online store is closing down I guess and you only have until July 27 to redeem the code.

I still see the activities I could do from the last few days, but otherwise I see the same.

Finally watched Glass.
Don't know why so many people didn't like it, I enjoyed it even if it was kinda depressing towards the end.
I really enjoyed the entire Unbreakable/Split/Glass trilogy; it's just a shame that Shyamalan had to self-finance the latter two. McAvoy was fantastic in them.

Getting back to Xbox, what good online co-op games are on Game Pass, besides the obvious Halo/Gears?

Damn does this thread suck now. At least GS has deals - Xbox seldom has deals worth mentioning. You can just subscribe to Game Pass, ignore this thread, and nothing of value is lost.
 
The concept of everyone using mics died when Microsoft stopped including them with the console. People used mics in the 360 days because every console was bundled with it. Expecting the average casual consumer to purchase their own headset is apparently a tall task. Also party chat is a big factor but that existed in the 360 days as well.
 
Nothing for Xbox really in Prime Day deals, that PS4 Pro bundle is pretty decent
I was just about to ask about this. I saw a $40 deal on Playstation Plus and hoped to see something similar for Xbox Live.

Seeing as how you can buy movies on the Xbox, I don't mind the off topic chat about it as long as it doesn't involve spoilers. I remember comments on The Last Jedi and EndGame were redirected to other threads so there are limits.

And honestly, comments on anything else don't really bother me either. When the deals are especially bad, I consider off topic disussions Date Night banter.

 
Agree that the shit-talking over how someone plays MP games is uncalled for and a waste of thread space. Take that shit elsewhere.

That's pretty good. I really should get the debit card version one day, this is a solid discount.
I didn't realize there was a debit version until recently, that's actually a pretty easy sell since there's no credit checks or risks involved. Especially thinking about large purchases like games or systems.
