This may sound dumb for some of you but I just can’t play online, or at least I can’t play anything with chat or a very social aspect. That’s why I only play tekken on my xbox since that doesn’t require socialisation but I have so many games and I feel half of them are worthless now that I finished the campaigns because I don’t play them online.
People said “use discord” but that shit is so counter intuitive to use isn’t like reddit, that just find a sub and connect. I don’t like that you need invitations and that every game is subs inside subs and diverse chats… is too much.
It depends on the implementation.
If there’s no voice chat, text based chat participation is considered optional, and the in-game community isn’t toxic, then I might get chatty.
I agree, basically this. Although I also agree that some discord servers are overwhelming and badly structured / too many channels for no reason.
There are thousands and thousands of discord servers you can join without any invite. Try searching disboard.org to find a server for your game, or check YouTubers descriptions, many have one you can join. You’re not the only person I’ve heard complain about discord being difficult to learn. It does get easy, especially if you can find someone to help you join a voice chat or something.
Depending on the game you might have built in chat. I have made friends with random people I gamed with, and we continued for years.
I tried discord, everyone types like a fucking 12 year old… instant turn off
I hate discord as much as the next lemming, but it’s meant to be a quick chat style service, so lack of proper spelling and punctuation doesn’t bother me like it does on most other social media. As long as the information you get from others is correct, who cares about the spelling tbh.
Go to a local video game bar and play socially there.
A) discord
B) make friends with one person that does this or plays with other groups, then join them when they are playing with others
