A rant on games in general.
You know what I hate? Russians in mp games (of course it's with SOME exceptions)!
In PD2: They'll ♥♥♥♥ up your perfect solo stealth Deathwish run and they'll say it's your fault
In TF2: They'll just be useless or be hacking
In COD: They'll be 12. They'll micspam. They'll rage. They'll ♥♥♥♥ you over.
In Minecraft: Same as above
In CS:GO: Same as 2 answers above.

There's the connectivity problems in most multiplayer games.
In PD2: You WILL disconnect. Even if you have your own internet server (unless you HYOG).
In TF2: It's not as present, but sometimes your loadout is dead and your ping is over 100
In COD: You'll disconnect quite often.
In Minecraft: Very rare, but present
In CS:GO: Rare, but over 100 ping happens.

The story in games becomes more like an alternative to movies. That's bad. Why?
Well, expansive story for an adventure or point-and-click game are great, no, it's a required element.
In a FPS...not much. Focusing on the story instead of game mechanics is one of the worst problems in FPS games.
Example: COD Ghosts. Not only it's bad story-wise, the multiplayer and the gameplay are bad too!

About competitive matchmaking...i won't be the kennyS of CS:GO or TF2. I won't get a time of 9 minutes in a PD2 tournament. I won't be 360 noscopin' n00bs in COD.
And I certainly won't play comp. "Why?", you ask. Well, the Hype Train will hit. And it will hit HARD. People will see that it's just a more premiumized pub.

Friendlies in TF2 are...pretty useless. They ain't killin'. They ain't healin'. They're just cute, and if you want to watch cute animals go to your nearest zoo! If you can't because weather, health or just plain laziness, watch cats on youtube.

The "noob tactics" in TF2 are EASY, but there's a lot of disrespect on your person. Like me, a scout runs into a W+M1, i'm screwed. Why? 'Cuz:
1. No medics on pubs. EVER
2. I'm not close to a medkit, and even if I got it, i'd be dead 'cuz he catched up to me
3. There's no heavy or water around too.
What do I do? I get pissed off and point him as my main target.
He then spawncamps. A LOT. And I get dominated. HE WAS WEARING A GIBUS D:<

RTS games ae boring. It's the same concept, so why do you buy more? 'Cuz other situations? Cosplay? Improved graphics? It's pointless to me.

(almost)Every modern FPS ever-You're a Soldier! Go kill Russians for 'Murica!
Exceptions: Space-themed or class-based.

Everyone rages. The biggest reason is believing in yourself...and failing in the process.
If not that, then the reason is obvious...you're pissed off at the game, the players, spawncampers, normal campers, trolls, kids, idiots, noobs, hit detection, hitboxes, facestabs, backstabs, friendlies, getting killed as a friendly, dying to a gibus while you're wearing unu's, being dominated by a gibus (no matter the quality of your items), more experienced players, less experienced players, hackers, random stickies and the list goes on...

I forgot about a topic that got me to writing this thread: PD2 pubs.
While most people know that Shadow Raid is stealth and Meltdown is loud, they sometimes go on a stealth heist equipped with the best (and least concealable) armor in the game, an rpg and a minigun.
The exact opposite is on Meltdown: When I host, EVERY SINGLE ONE comes with stealth gear. And here's the best part: They're sometimes an Infamy! (if you don't know, it's like prestige in cod).
People kick you at the end of a 3-day heist for no reason? Well, sorry.

Anyway, that's all. It took me an hour to write, if not more. I hope you enjoyed it, and leave your thoughts about the covered things here.

GC: The last dungeon of the Xenia continent is a pain to go through, also gets rather grindy and repetitive after a while.

Koo.
I don't think I get the point of the thread...

Shitty Publishers:

Pretty obvious, Acitvision, EA, and Ubisoft being the worst, milking their franchises and treat developers like shit regardless of how passionate they are for gaming.

Competitive gaming/e-Sports:

Boring, uninteresting to anyone aside of MLG pro wannabes, and in the end, promotes gaming communities to be nothing more than grown men and angry teenagers screaming at each other and rather have their game shut down than lose some elo or somthing.

With growing demand for skill-based games and increasing skill ceilings, unless you're as popular as CS:GO or your game is a F2P MOBA, multiplayer games is dead on arrival.

Basically, while games like DOOM 2016 will last forever thanks to single player, if the game only had multiplayer, it's good as dead.

Where the fuck is bot support in games these days?:

Imagine 20 years from now you want to go back and play some game you love, but the servers shut down/player population is low as hell. In a nutshell, the game is worthless aside of a single player campaign that is probably shit.

For example, Battlefield: Bad Company (1), servers are mostly dead, and when there is one, there's only like 4 people, not high player battles, just small player battles in large fields where almost nothing happens. Outside of videos, said games are unplayable and will be a thing of the past instead of being a timeless game.

Quake 3, I still play that game 50 years from now (If I live that long anyways) as long as there's a working copy (Or Steam is still a thing) and jump in a bot game if there's no human players left, and still be able to play a game.

Call of Duty 4 and World at War doesn't have official bot support, but the community made bot support, which is good since most multiplayer mods are dead and only TDM is played with Nuketown custom maps every game matches.

What the fuck happened to modding?:

As you can tell, modding has disappeared for most games since DLC became a popular thing. Basically, some games will not have a community keeping the game alive unlike the classic Doom games and even Call of Duty: World at War, where people continue to make custom levels and zombies maps for the games.

Sure, some games have level editors built in, but games like DOOM 2016 could of had modding tools instead, as they missed huge potential for having SnapMap as their primary replay source for single player.

That, and well, DLC sucks.

DLC and Microtransactions:

DLC doesn't offer a whole lot compared to expansion packs a decade ago. Battlefield 1942 actually had expansions, not "DLC disguised as expansions." Expansion packs used to be around 50% of a main game or hell, even a full game in their own rights, like Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. Now, with overpriced DLC and Microtransactions here, we're paying more for less, instead of paying more for something that could offer a new experience or at the very least, something worth the price.

Online Gaming communities gone to shit:

Kind of obvious, but since any angry person can get their hands on a gaming system (PC, console, handhelds), you can guess what would go from here.

I could go on, but this is already enough of a wall of text post.

Adding a few things:

Warner Bros is one of the worst video game publishers i've ever been affected by in my whole life. They constantly show that they give no fucks about PC gamers and have more often than tolerated released their games in broken, unplayable states on PC while console gamers get mostly problem-free games. Arkham Knight is a prime example, and they also gladly abandon their PC gaming fans regardless of the consequences.

Mortal Kombat X's PC port is one, we PC gamers got screwed over and will not release Kombat Pack 2 or improved netcode for us. Only the console gamers will recieve. All because WB are such pussies and refuse to fix shit they're responsible for.

MOBAs are also shit and boring games (just my opinion).

I've never had an issue with russians in games. I always found fellow canadians to be dicks though.

On my part, I view that oftentimes, RTS games, despite of their nature being somewhat similar to others of such type, they have many details, features, & characteristics that makes one distinct from the other. In a way, they may "spice things up" by adding a certain quality to its contents, or nature, that alters how it's played as well as offering a different experience if one has already played other RTS games beforehand.

To elaborate, while a majority of RTS games holds a concept that many may find as alike, or even the same, it should be acknowledged there seems to be many variations of such genre that offers a different experience & way of playing. From tactics, to strategy, and from "real-time", to "turn-based". In a way, this serves to not only represent said games differently, but as stated earlier, it disproves that they're the "same" concept. At least, by a small degree.

In addition, while some may hold criticism of the game play of games of the aforementioned genre, I view that, in spite of such criticism, there are many things that are offered that represents the game that doesn't make one view it as boring. Either part of the game play, or the experience, & more. Such as Starcraft, for example. It's 3 races are known for requiring use of different strategies, as well as thinking differently, to succeed & strive in a play through. Though, this is merely a short statement that doesn't truly describe the game itself fully, nor similar games.

But beyond that, however, this is merely my outlook in regards to your comment. I apologize that my comment doesn't focus much towards the topic at hand, but nevertheless, I simply want to voice my outlook on the matter. Please understand that I'm not defending said genre, as I simply wanted to voice my thoughts.

I think he just means RTS (Real-Time Strategy) games, there's no Y in them if I can recall.

Still, not every genre is people's cup of tea, much like how RTS and MOBA aren't my cup of tea.

Not to mention, the term "same concepts" can be applied to any gaming genre really, the execution is what makes some games stand more than others if you ask me.

I'm surprised that most people here expects originality in this very day, concepts are already hard to think about. The only upcoming game I thought would be original is No Man's Sky, think about it people, you can fucking name any animal if you found it first.

RTS and MOBA competitives are more intense to watch, trying to outplay a professional player in MOBAs are quite entertaining to watch, FPS Comps are the matter of small game sense and aiming.
