Ready gaming fires away in this Kraber g200 montage!

Tribes 1 still like this. Always see the same dudes. They all killers too
fatalicus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well, tribes 1 is also a 26 years old game, so would go under the first part.
tehmics@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Did you try the new netcode test? Just saw the discord announcement today
Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Not yet. Gonna get back on it though.

Just play wow again, it still exists
robolemmy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But with raid and dungeon finder, guilds mean almost nothing and everything is just about grinding as fast as possible. I quit wow after matchmaking ruined the intimacy of raiding with a good guild.

Classic* my mistake
kionay@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Sounds like you might enjoy WoW Classic

You know there’s 3 difficulties above LFR that you can’t queue for, right? Guilds do those
Rolder@reddthat.com 6 months ago
I dunno man my mythic raiding guild is still plenty tight knit. Has a heroic only team as well that I believe is also pretty tight.
You still need a solid raid group if you want solid raid progress. Not sure what else you are expecting exactly.

Huh, weird. The menfolk have had kind of a loneliness problem for about 15 years…

I remember all the hilarious impersonations I would do in Black Ops 2 on PSN. Everyone would be cutting up

Just play Mordhau. Playerbase is small enough that you’ll see the same people over and over again.
tmcgh@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Do you still actively play? I used to play a lot a few years ago. I’ve been debating getting back into it but I’m not sure I have to patient to relearn the combat and I’m sure those who still play are monsters at this point.
Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That is very accurate. I play in spurts every 3-6 months and thankfully was at a baseline level to not get totally stomped every game but it’s probably at least as bad as you’d expect.
kenoh@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yep! I don’t get the chance as often as I’d like, plus Helldivers 2 fever has hit, but I still enjoy when I can.
The modded servers are insane. There’s new horde mode options as well.
The skill ceiling is higher than ever before, but there is still a good distribution of newbs. I’ve been training my 1vX by concentrating the practice against bot. Do a local deathmatch, spawn a bot and ToggleDamage and ToggleStamina in the console and just play around without pressure. After that, do local Team Deathmatch in Arena, join Red, spawn in training sword and then “AddBotsTeam 2 1”, then since the bots are quite good at circling, run to the side of a supply box and practice 1vX parrying. It’s helping me not always commit to a riposte and keeping myself aware of multiple more things on the screen at once.

Shout out to my TF2 clan. You were the best friends I ever had. 🫡
jecht360@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I definitely feel this way about gaming online. I miss Microsoft Ants.
FluorideMind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is happening to me now in squad.
d00ery@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, I find this too. Especially if you play on the same servers.
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings, Battle for Middle Earth lately (I believe the game came out in 2004?). Anyways, the small pool of players isn’t as fun as you remember. The greentext notes giving up based on team matchup, and oh boi is that a big problem.

I really wish BFME2 could get a remaster in the fashion of the Age of Empires Definitive Editions. I only ever played single player back in the day but I’d love to be able to easily install it and play some multiplayer games.
Shame the rights won’t allow that.
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
It’s unofficial but this is what everyone uses to play: bfmeladder.com

Had the same experience with AssaultCube last year.
CS2 still has server browser. Even I have my own dedicated server.
PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Had the same experience with AssaultCube last year.
Jesus, fuck, that’s still around?
msage@programming.dev 6 months ago
I just spun up a server, and before I knew it, there were 16 players having the best time. I wonder if it could happen again, but I have no time to try it.
ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Anecdotal, you still learn people and you can build a community reputation playing PvP in FFXIV. We don’t get to choose the map, and you’ll still see some people only once, but you get to know who’s who. The problem is, it’s not as fast as fortnite or other games. Which is a large turn off for many. But the slower (just barely slower) pace is more forgiving towards people that are middle aged and can’t compete with top tier fortnite/ League of Legends, etc types.
Rolder@reddthat.com 6 months ago
That’s more because few people seriously PvP in FFXIV, so you naturally end up randomly queued with the same people repeatedly.

This was dota in 2008 basically.
Now I’m sad.

Runescape is a game I have nostalgic memories of meeting people on, nowadays it feels like a single player game that I’m paying monthly for…

This makes me think of the song “Wave” by the midnight.
“We are hooking up with strangers we will never see again We are not a sentimental age”
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You can still play old games! TF2 still exists (istg if I die to that one soldier nolife in the 2fort sewers 1 more time)
Also SCP:SL is gonna get a big update soon and it only has serversknatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
Well, atleast for the very top it’s still the same. The best 100 players of nearly every game do still know each other.
However fuck what they’ve done to PUBG, fuck bots give map bans.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I can’t say I share exactly this experience, but I did have some experiences of old that I miss.
The only non-MMO I ever played multiplayer prior to ~2013 was Age of Mythology. I never played ranked or competitive, but I did play a shit tonne of fun custom scenarios. Escape maps. Arenas. One really fun Helm’s Deep map that would always slow to a crawl once a larger number of units hit the field. I’d browse through the open lobbies and find something that struck my fancy, or create my own lobby and wait for people to join. Hours spent browsing the Age of Mythology Heaven forums for scenarios and reading people talk about them.
I do mind miss those custom scenarios. The new Age of Mythology: Retold feels much more focused on the ranked mode. Which I do also really enjoy. But there doesn’t seem the same culture of custom scenarios that there was back in the day.
Halosheep@lemm.ee 6 months ago
This still sort of exists in matchmaking if you play enough.
When you’re like top 1% of players you tend to see the same players a lot.
NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 months ago
MechAssault, all the way back on the OG Xbox. I wish I could remember all the names. So many fun times had trying the stupidest things and somehow winning, like two of us in Raptors going on Ýmir and Loki hunting missions.
Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
I started playing a game called Beyond all Reason and its got Lobbies. I forgot how much I hated matchmaking. Sitting in lobbies talking and deciding what to play is so much better. You get to know the types of lobbies and what to expect. If I want to get fucked up I join the Op lobby if I wanna chill I join the noob lobby. People recognize you after awhile and you make friends.

I hit the bnet friends cap playing overwatch. It can be done if you pay attention to who’s playing and be friendly.
FluorideMind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah. Overwatch was pretty social back in the day. It’s a different beat now.
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 6 months ago
My experience playing Call of Duty: United Offensive. The community was so much better than online games today. Some times if I wasn’t in to it we’d just chat via text chat. Felt like an extended lan party almost
