And this is partly the reason multi-player games have lost my interest. The "win at any cost" mentality, coupled with me being an old bastard really made them a shit experience.
Helldivers 2, with its team based goals is a bright spot, with it seems everyone out for a good time. Last night played with a kid who seemed to have a mic & headphones for the first time ever and it was hilarious, "hey bro, bro" nonstop chatter & everyone rolling with it. Good times!
It feels like most multiplayer games are trying too hard being an E-Sport. I understand why. It’s really good marketing if a game is popular to watch.
I miss the days of Team Fortress 2 where everyone just mind their own business until the announcer says it’s 60 seconds left and then suddenly everybody makes a combined effort to win the game.
Or just casual death matches.
