Starman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have no problem wanting to group if I need too But I would still prefer to accomplish things by my self if it's in the realm of possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I don't particularly enjoy it, but I don't mind it either when I have to. Basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Only time I found random's to be particularly ok, was Triforce Heroes. But yeah no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Randoms are pretty hilarious, especially in CS:GO. For some reason people feel obliged to follow my plans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've been enjoying it in Triforce Heroes, I like it in Monster Hunter, and WCIII (mostly custom games I admit) can be very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffonite Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 So long as they actually know what they're doing, I don't have a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The thought of it gives me a bit of anxiety, since I'm not very competent in video games At first when I got into my first mmo (Guild Wars 2) I was super nervous because I had no clue what I was doing and was surrounded by many other active players so I was surrounded by people who (in my mind) would JUDGE ME and WATCH ME as I was fumbling around having no clue what I was doing. But gradually I adjusted to it because I learned that people didn't seem to be paying that much attention to each other (or maybe that's me, being unable to multitask) and in that game, at least, people have been incredibly helpful when we did cooperate. But I imagine that's probably because it was built to be a cooperative game, not a competitive one. In Monster Hunter my experience with randoms hasn't been all that bad, people have been nice enough. I don't think I've quite grouped with an incompetent one yet, and even if I did I can take care of myself in that game B) okay, less so in mh4u Other than those.... I don't think I've ever been brave enough to do anything with randoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Depends on the game and community. Final Fantasy 14 has an amazing community, so I have no problems on the rare occasion I get to sit down and play it lol. I tend to get addicted to MMOs in short bursts when I play them, so thankfully I've not renewed my subscription in a while, or Scribbles would've been a disaster. I haven't played a F2P MMO in forever, but 99% of the time their communities are terrible. Best thing to do in most online games is to find friends who play them, or make friends within them, start your own group thing and never touch random grouping again.

Knight Falchion Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The randoms I've played with in Chivalry and Monster Hunter haven't been too horrible, and those games are pretty much the only online games I play that involve cooperation. So yeah, I guess. I prefer friends if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellen Browning Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Usually no. I prefer to do things alone mostly, and randoms have a tendency to be awful people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinumi Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) SOMETIMES back when i played this mmo i sometimes queued with random people with sf dot net user pklucas531 and we'd attempt to talk to them while playing most of them didn't respond but the ones that did tended to be very pleasant and i enjoyed meeting new people Edited February 4, 2016 by bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwlr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) No, most of them are annoying people that don't follow the spirit of the game and just troll the entire, the other half are worthless dregs. That doesn't even count the overlays of people screaming into the mic, the near constant streams of sexist comments, or the morons that hit on any female that speaks up.

Original Alear Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The best thing about grouping with randoMs is when ur in a game where u can jump and u manage to stick a hard to land surface such as another players head. Another example is landing on top of the terminals in Xenoblade x in the multiplayer waiting room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
