The funniest snoy cope I've seen on /v/ was racial shit.
"Sony is based because they stopped the 3rd world shitskins to play with us, why are you against that?"
When I used to play on console back in the Xbox360 days all the people using mics were the dumbest sounding niggers on the planet. Unintelligible blabbering, blasting music so the whole lobby could hear, ceiling bird chirping or it was the stereotypical Mexican where it was the same shit but with Mexican music playing and a chihuahua yapping non-stop.
On PC the worst you'll encounter is the drunk Russian going cyka blyat to everything and screeching in broken English. The IQ filter to assemble electronic legos is so great that you'll always be able to have a conversation with anyone around the planet.
Asian hackers are a nuisance everywhere regardless on which system you play on. They like to cope about hackers a lot too ignoring that Sony itself gets hacked so hard that the severity of the breach is greater than the last one especially now where governments are requiring you to give these retards your ID number and biometrics (makes PSN account, identity gets stolen)
I mean I learned my nigga impression from playing Halo2 in the day, although I have to admit those where some fun times. With the Mexicans someone's mom is always in the background frying empanadas or something (I can't tell you how many games have the sound of frying oil in the background) and there are always like 5 kids in the room yelling back and forth.
The worst is Forza, there are like 1 or 2 blacks I race with who know the game (I'm less racist on a personal level lol) and have respect but with gamespass every darky in the lobby is a guaranteed disaster "XXBlastinNiggazzzXX420" runs the 3rd place guy off the road and into a pole like it's Mario Kart and the guy gets on mic like "Hey this is a race sim, please don't..." and home boy comes back with "Ya'll be racisss n'sheeit niggas, I ain't be doin' shieet, I'm juss fast, ya'll be slow and you shook nigga!"
... 2 laps of trash talking, exchanging paint with half the lobby and searching in vane for the NOS button later ....
XXBlastinNiggazzXX420 has come in 23rd place. XXBlastinNiggazzXX420 has quit the lobby. EVERY FUCKING TIME.
the best part about the PC is old games never truly go obsolete and you don't need to trade a whole kidney just to play actual games because modern APUs keep getting better
with that being said, i keep telling people to go check out old games helldivers 2 stole from and why PCucks who bitched about Halo CE being slow and boring when it dropped were kind of right because it slowed everything down from being absurdly fast like Quake 3 for console being very slow and dull
There is nothing on paper that makes HD2 special, it's just a slow/clunk-ified wave/extraction shooter but it's one of those things where the product is greater than the sum of it's parts. Even the narrative system is a double edged sword that basically forces you to grind the same map all night... but that's kinda what makes it good too, it flies in the face of games design tropes to do things that a normal studio would have shot down in planning (Ubisoft would have made sure you never play the same planet twice in a row ever).
It's got the right blend of ingredients, the chef has the passion to break rules.... Also with the community being very active there is a player base (which is kinda important for multiplayer games) and there is a sense of excitement like you are part of something, witnessing something because of the silly plot elements.
Trying to replicate the success of this game is going to be a disaster for any studio who tries. Like trying to make a good Ghost Busters movie without Bill Murray in the lead role, it's an impossible task. It's a 'lightening in a bottle game' that you can't just slap a neon coat of paint on and re-release.
