Yes, easy. It's a hinderance, but not enough to report it for that instance.
Xbox Live tried policing griefing through a reputation system that would affect your matchmaking if you were reported enough times for certain behavior. It was a disaster as it accounted for the number of reports, not necessarily the validity of them.
That already exists and is used by EA and Activision for online games to adjust prices of boosters. EA first mentioned this at a (secretly filmed) presentation back around 2009.
It was a disaster because when they launched it on the 360, my friends and I received 24 hour bans for 'cheating' because we beat a load of kiddie-casual fags on MW2 because we played better. Again though, Xbox et al should not be the ones policing griefing because that's a lobby issues that should be dealt with in-lobby.
The "rep" on Xbox 360 and the "reputation system" from Xbox One are two different things. Random question, but do you still have the email they would send you when you're suspended?
I don't, I use burner emails with that kind of shit. I didn't buy an X1 until the X1X dropped and I didn't play online. I haven't online gamed since Gears 3.
FTFY. I agree though.
That is the most Microsoft thing I've ever heard.
If there are any actual games that still allow that, then yeah
Probably the first time ITT anyone named the Fallout series as an example of video games improving over time.
No, the player running into the same lane over and over and feeding streaks should git gud.
this is obviously a massive problem and why game companies need to always be told to go fuck themselves in perpetuity whenever they make the slightest anti-consumer decision, these companies would lock you in a cuckcage contract if they could get away with it
It's probably more common around these parts than most other places, but I used to be super into online multiplayer back in the day [and I may still occasionally play online older games that haven't been totally overrun with mods, like BF1942] and also haven't touched it at all since like 2012. Unless it's co-op shit [and I prefer couch co-op anyway which is seemingly dead unless you buy two consoles, two copies, two TVs and two subscriptions] count me out. Everything now is about the "meta" and everyone is super fucking tryhard over it, which is an asset in games like Arma but is just retarded in most other genres. Even when playing older games online you still end up getting your shit rocked by some 35 year old guy in Romania who's been playing said old game for twenty fucking years on his Pentium 4 because it's the only thing that runs half-decent on it.
Are you, me?
I think it's just got boring for us. I grew up on Unreal and CS; no perks, no mods, no killstreak, absolutely zero fucking screen autism. Pick ups and 'monster-killlllll' announcements are fun.
for me personally, trying to play them as gotten more annoying, I feel like younger generations have gotten more sweaty thanks to the influence of streamers, the no fun allowed mentality has really increased my preference for Singleplayer games
also this, anyone who believes they hate mtx doesnt hate them enough, not to mention the crossover bullshit that ruined shit like CoD
Dead Island 2 has some pretty good gore for a zombie game. You can smash zombies jaws off, melt their arms so they are just fleshy liquid on bone flailling around. You can burn their skin off with fire. Not to mention classic caved in skull, ripped out innards. Very gory game.
