!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Original question by @[email protected]

I'll start, RuneScape, it used to be about adventure but now it's about efficiency. Runner up, rust, very active community, but toxic playerbase and people usually abandon when a world isn't fresh

Rocket League. I find myself going back to it because I like the concept but you need to have chat turned off completely and even then the games usually devolve into one or more players throwing a hissy fit a minute into any match because something didn't go perfectly.

Left4Dead

Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it's OK if some players are better than others because we're all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

I'll give two answers

  1. Final Fantasy XI. Main flaw is that I don't have the time to put into it to justify a subscription.

  2. Rocket League. Started taking itself way too seriously (both the game and player base).

Have you tried a private server for FFXI? No need to pay a sub on those
