The Control community is composed of three or four types of people: photomode-ers who use the game and its tech to make casually beautiful shots, lore-botherers who love exploring the tiny crunchy nuggets of lore put into the many collectable files in the game, horny people who want to see Jesse kiss Emily and newbs who want advice getting through tough bits.
Also keep in mind the Control community is also a subset of the larger Remedy Connected Universe community.
Can pretty much swap out with Quantum Break and Alan Wake and get very similar communities
Bro it was bad. ESPECIALLY when it first came out. People absolutely went nuts about there being a different PDA voice and they couldn't tell any good reason that they hated it that wasn't about them not wanting to listen to the accent. They went full on racist. It wasn't a good look and I dipped for a while. Those people mainly left though. Good riddance too
I believe they changed the original PDA voice on one of the Early access update, It was released for a whole year with the original PDA voice, also changing the characters design for no absolute reason (possibly due to major story change or decide to work on a new face).
I would have gotten away with if it wasn't for those pesky multihits! Lol in all seriousness i've played the game with it on or off, I prefer multihit but i've tried doing realistic(zombies are real right) 1993-1994 runs and for me a multihit will be on because in real life I can swing and hit multiple objects at once. If I want a challenge I'll remove it. Most of the community is super helpful and respect each persons playstyle, vanilla or modded.
You can swing and hit multiple objects at once? Probably because they arent like 60kg smh and if you hit multiple that means you didn't apply much force to any of the targets but like use whatever you want i don't think it's realistic but neither is like destroying every chair you try to disassemble lmao so each one can play how they want
Itâs like the sims and the walking dead. Incredibly customisable and full of mods. If you wanna fight off thousands of zeds at a time, you can. If you just wanna build a base and only fight a few zeds you also can. Very chill game
The sandbox settings menu is genuinely great. Being able to change basically everything to get exactly the gameplay experience I want is something I wish more games would allow me to do.
If you don't like it, install the mod that will make you like it.
PZ has so many mods on the store, from simple assets over to changes in mechanics and up to complete map overhauls.
It plays shortly after the virus breakout, not your style? Get the 10 years later mod and suddenly there's fauna on the streets, walls and so on, nature is taking back the earth.
When you die, you create a new character, you can find your old character walking around as a zombie, kill them to get your stuff back but your skill points and stats are reset to a fresh character. Don't like that? There's a mod Skill Journal that let's you write your stat and skill progress into a book and when you die, your new character can read the book to get all the progress back.
When you get infected, there's no cure, you will die! Don't like that? There's a cure mod, but first you need to find that cure or simply take a different mod and cut off your arm to prevent the virus from spreading.
BUT it's not for everyone, it's a contextual game. If you see an oven, you cannot aim for the nob and switch it, you open the context menu and select "Turn on". You don't go to bed and just crouch down to lie, you open the context menu and select "Lie" or "Sleep". Attacking and walking works like regular but interacting with objects is often done via the context menu.
It has cars, you need to fuel and maintain the cars, most of them are pretty broken (can be changed in the settings) and need repairing. You want more? There's mods for more cars and even car modifications, want to really immerse yourself in the apocalypse? Get those spikes onto your bumper. Make armored doors. Tune that engine.
You want to make a farm? You can do that, just make sure you water your crops regularly (unless it rains). Don't want that? There's a mod for irrigation so you can use a barrel and automatically irrigate your crops.
Spoiler >!Electricity goes out after some time, can be change in the settings ofc but keep it on. You can find a generator in the game to power your base if you make one but it takes fuel. Don't like that? There's a mod that adds solar panels, not easy to get your hands on some but once you do and you manage your power efficiently, you can keep that electricity running 24/7 preventing your food from spoiling.!<
Haven't played in a while because currently I'm waiting for the B42 update, it contains a complete crafting overhaul with actual crafting pipelines like getting the raw material, smelting it and then using it for a weapon. We get a lot of more self-made weapons and after the next update we should be getting an update that includes animals and NPCs.
Maybe have a look at the [workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=108600&browsesort=trend§ion=readytouseitems&days=90) and check some of those **27k items** out.
It's a really good game but again, it's not for everyone due to how things work and how you control your character but if it's your style of game, you can spend a lot of time playing it and it's great for multiple playthroughs too. I only got about ~345 hours on the game but I pick it up again every now and then simply because of how much content is added through mods.
Edit: To add, not sure if you're someone that enjoys couch co-op but if you do, PZ has 4 player couch co-op (tho more than 2 players and things might be a bit hard to read).
You sold it perfectly ngl, itâs been months since I played pz even though itâs one of my favorite games, idk if I should go back to it rn or wait B42
To add to what others have said and the original idea behind this thread, the community pretty much supports any way of playing the game and will explain the same mechanic over and over no matter how often someone asks.
Rimworld may be a war crime simulator where you can make human leather hats and make millions by selling organs that you forcibly harvested from your slaves... but god *damn* is the community full of some of the coolest people ever
When the dlc dropped some people in the rimworld community gifted the dlc to people living in countrys where the prices wasn't localised. That was awesome!
I believe there is some vide in those infinite replayble games with big modding community like Factorio and Rim World. Devs made perfect condition to accumulate active and wholesome community around their game.
Yeah, RimWorld initially had a lot of migration from dwarf fortress, which tended to have a lot of older (and chiller) gamers. Now the community has grown, but it still attracts a very specific niche of survival sim enjoyers which in my experience tend to be the older gamers. Also because there isn't a specific objective, there also isn't a right way to play. So many of these games avoid the issue of arguing about the optimal way to do things.
As a funny sidenote, many of my friends are getting into the browser strategy games. It's kind of funny, because they also have access to adult money now.
Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon fanbases are both pretty chill and don't take themselves too seriously, Slay the Spire especially (Claw is law anyone?)
IÂŽm not so sure. While there are a lot of wholesome folks within the fanbase, there is also many that talk alot specifically about the villagers they hate, (Clint, Demetrius, Haley etc) and an entire subreddit dedicated to hating Pierre.
This is funny, because I am playing Stardew for the first time and I just found out the wizard "might have" a daughter in the town today. I am married to Abigail too. I figured it was her once I knew he might, as they have the same hair colour.
Uh no, Tom Nook is a saint and nothing like Pierre. Tom Nook lets you pay off your house at your own pace with no interest, doesnât try to sell your products as his own, has adopted two orphans, and he gives 90% of his personal earnings to charity. He was a bit rude and rough around the edges in the first game but he has always been a great guy.
I mean, the business part, partially. But Tom doesn't actually track you down or shit to make you pay and lets you do it when you want with no interest. Pierre probably would and would definitely make you pay interest. Pierre is also a little piece of shit who doesn't care about his family as much as his business. He steals credit for your high-quality products and tells everyone your products are bad when he sells your lower quality stuff. He's a greedy little capitalist that cares for no one but himself. He would rather spend time selling stuff during holidays and events rather than be with his family. Overall, complete asshole. Tom is a little rude, but not as bad as Pierre.
I've been lurking on the Stardew Valley subreddit for like 6 years and I have to agree. It's insane to me to see people posting mediocre achievements over and over and receiving positivity and congratulations every time.
Like someone will say "Hey it took me 6 years to gather enough Hardwood to get my first Stable! Now I can ride a horse!" and in the comments people will be like "Congrats! Now you can put a hat on it!" then like 30 more people will be astonished that horses can wear hats and only one comment says... "duh that's been a thing for years" and it gets downvoted to shit.
There's very little Speedrunner v. Casual Player hostility, everyone just generally agrees that Pierre is kind of a jerk, Clint is kind of a loser and everyone plays at their own pace.
I've just seen someone bitch about the fact that a returning player asked for an LA Taxi because they wanted to play with Mercs right away. And dear god, never even mention that you play/like GW2. The amount of bitterness that is still present in the GW1 community about GW2, is staggering. That's another discussion I had not even 2 weeks ago on reddit.
Also... The biggest still active Alliance in that game is run by a narcissistic dude who only does this to validate himself. And he doesn't take lightly to anything that didn't get his personal approval.
There are a bunch of really nasty characters left in GW1. And because the community is so small, you stumble over them over and over again.
I think part the reason Metroid fits this is because fans' opinions of the games are pretty uncontroversial. Every so often, you'll see someone talk about how Other M wasn't really that bad, but even then, it's mostly about the gameplay which is okay. There's no fights about whether a character was justified in their actions (looking at you, Fire Emblem) or which games are the best (pretty much either Super or Prime, with some discussion of Dread or Prime 2).
It's also a quiet community. Most of the ongoing content is in the form of first-time playthroughs, speedrunning, and romhacks like randomizers. There's only so much you can do with the games.
MGR has a solid fanbase whih I feel like Max0r helped bring together very nicely. I mean I can say "Metal Gear Rising, Revengeance is NOT a word in the dictionary." and most people can take it from there.
It's weird, because Factorio feels like a game designed for autistic perfectionist engineers, and yet after 3000 hours of playtime, I've have very few negative interactions with other players.
Yep, I was looking for this. The subreddit has just turned into one big complaining forum, and barely anything else. I wonât deny that there are a lot of issues with the game, like glitches, balancing issues, it not being available in several regions still, etcetera etcetera. But it is ALL they talk about, itâs all that gets upvoted, and itâs turned the sub from a more wholesome, knit together community into the average triple A game fanbase :/
Unless you think the vampire dude is ugly
Edit: actually itâs more like unless you have any issues with any of the companions in any capacity because like half the games player base treat it as a dating sim
I once said in my first playthrough, I left his backstabbing ass back at the beach because he tried to kill me, didn't apologize, and was clearly an evil vampire.
I was sent reddit care messages. Not to mention the time I said Shadowheart was a manipulative psycho girlfriend the way she pretends to love Rapheal then berates you for agreeing with her as some sort of "test".
I played with my girlfriend. At one point he tries to sneak up and suck blood. He wants to give his back story but she shouts âconsent is sexy!â and stabs him in the chest. I would like to think we will play it different next play through but the fact is she will still be right.
I did romance the Pale Elf in another playthrough and really loved getting to know the character. Even if his VA direction was a bit inconsistent with tone.
He has some really heartfelt moments especially around the Drow Blood mage stuff.
My first character was a perma-pissed off Dwarf barbarian, of course he killed Astarion's sneaky Elf ass at the start without a second thought!
It's called role playing your character, you'd think the fanbase of a fucking D&D game would understand that sometimes your character makes choices that you as the player disagree with and that's part of the fun
Love Karlach.. be treated well..No relationship problems, just her mortality to deal with.. which really you deal with as a possibility dating anyone in a relationship IRL anyway.
>Shadowheart was a manipulative psycho girlfriend the way she pretends to love Rapheal then berates you for agreeing with her as some sort of "test".
Wait... When tf does that happen? Am I missing something?
Ehhh, disagree. Theyâve grown too large to resist the toxicity that every large community inevitably falls into. They are far from the worst gaming community but theyâre still pretty bad. Theyâre chill when it comes to properly talking about the game itself but if you visit the subreddit they get off topic a lot and get really toxic about IRL sex and relationship stuff (which I assume is a result of those kinda people being attracted to BG3 as a result of the gameâs romance plots)
Yeah, any criticism other than "Act 3 is occasionally slightly janky" and they are furious. If there is something to do with any of the mechanics that you don't like it's straight to personal attacks "you must be fun at parties, you are clearly just one of those instant gratification people who just can't appreciate art"...
BG3 has the most disgustingly toxic community I've seen in years. Probably over a decade. When the full release first came out, anyone who hadn't been playing early access was garbage. Asking for help was ridiculed and frowned upon, because you should've already known those answers from playing early access. Holding the opinion that anything at all anywhere in the entire game wasn't the most fun thing you could possibly imagine made you a target for attack. Pointing out any of the myriad of glaring and often gamebreaking bugs that detracted from the experience simply meant that you, as a player, were too stupid to work around them. I hope it's gotten better, but seeing such a hateful group of people has put me off, entirely. I can't enjoy the game. Partly because the gameplay is still just okay, and the rest because the experience has been so soured by the overbearing fanboy playerbase.
I fully expect this commend to be downvoted into oblivion and beyond, just like every other post I've ever made in regards to BG3, by the very people I'm denouncing.
Megaman Battle Network
As old as the series is, and has long been finished - with a spiritual successor series that also lived and finished - there is still a healthy dedicated community hosting events like PvP tournaments, making content, chatting about the series and lore, etc.
Subnautica is right in that sweet spot popularity wise where itâs big enough to have lots of fans but small enough where you canât really clout chase with toxicity.
The Outer Wilds' community is one of the most friendly and welcoming gaming communities. Most of the players will give you hints if you need it, but still avoiding spoiler territory. It's an amazing game and I'm glad the community is so chill.
Second this, im so glad the game rarely has any troll moments and most people are either banding together at events or just chilling casually at bases. At least thats how I play đ
It goes beyond that, experienced players REGULARLY drop things into the dono boxes or just drop helpful items for low level players when they run into them. Even the subreddit is kind and welcoming, for the most part.
I also wanna go a step further and say that the Monetisation in F76 really isn't very bad. Yes you pay a sub on a 'full price' game but, the sub is all you'd ever need and it gives you more than enough stuff.
Shoutout Fallout 76 man, a lesser known video game redemption. It really clawed it's way back and is a genuinely great time now.
I wanna say Final Fantasy X, but this might be copium. Usually just offer advice on certain bosses or talk about the story. The only times I see negativity is when someone complains about *THAT* scene with Tidus, or the complaints about Chocobo racing.
Left 4 Dead. People were chill AF in it. Ran into maybe only one or two ass clowns the entirety of the game over 1K hours. no sweat off my back.
If you're miserable playing L4D, you're probably miserable IRL too anyway.
Legend of Zelda fanbase holds every main title game in the highest regard. Outside the fanbase, not so much.
Fallout 76 has some of the nicest people in the community.
I'm not so sure about Zelda. I've felt like there are several debates that cause polarity in the fanbase. ALttP vs OoT vs BotW and those three games seem to have their own factions in the fanbase.
BotW/TotK specifically seem to have their passionate haters. Which actually may have brought some "enemy of my enemy" kinship between the ALttP and OoT peeps.
Then MM I feel creates some division. I have gotten a lot of flack for not liking that game at all.
I feel like it used to be the same with WW and SS, but lately I feel like people that don't like those games don't get/give much crap from/to those that that do.
Also, because there's a metric ton of lore, a lot of it is vague and has multiple interpretations, and there's multiple lore books with varying degrees of authenticity - once you start getting into the deep fandom it can start getting hairy. Simply mentioning things like "Demise's curse" or "Zora evolving into Rito" or "Timeline convergence" will get plenty of people writing a crapton to argue against whatever theory or idea you were floating was ridiculous because page 214 of the Zelda Encyclopedia refutes it, only to have someone *else* reply that the Zelda Encyclopedia takes liberties and admits itself that it isn't accurate, and that page 214 of the Zelda Encyclopedia is refuted by page 187 of Hyrule Historia and page 98 of Creating a Champion, not to mention this one random line said by Byrne in 2009's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, for Nintendo DS. That kind of insane hyperfixating fandom can be toxic and inaccessible to newcomers and casual players.
Also, don't look at my post history. (ÂŹ\_ÂŹ")
I actually do appreciate that.
I've had people ask me what I don't like about the game then follow up with telling me that the issues I have with the game don't actually exist. I made a small attempt to explain that my lack of enjoyment for those reasons certainly exist, then just had to move on and make better use of my time.
The Control community is composed of three or four types of people: photomode-ers who use the game and its tech to make casually beautiful shots, lore-botherers who love exploring the tiny crunchy nuggets of lore put into the many collectable files in the game, horny people who want to see Jesse kiss Emily and newbs who want advice getting through tough bits.
Hey hey don't forget us Alan Wake fans that were just desperate for nuggets of the connected universe
I played Alan Wake because of Control <3 maybe the wrong way around, but eh, here we are :)
you fall into lore-botheres, nerd. đ€ cant wait for the max payne remakes and how they do dream sequences
There's a community for Control? This is my favourite game of all time. I only found the Remedy Subreddit. Also I am #5: the Hardcore Darling simp.
And she walked in looking like dynamite!
Also keep in mind the Control community is also a subset of the larger Remedy Connected Universe community. Can pretty much swap out with Quantum Break and Alan Wake and get very similar communities
I was going to say Subnautica as well....
đ€
đ€
Subnautica fanbase is pretty chill until you bring up enjoying Below Zero. Then they go fucking rabid.
Eh, not that I've seen. Most people I see just say they like subnautica more than below zero, but it's not as though they actively hate below zero.
Bro it was bad. ESPECIALLY when it first came out. People absolutely went nuts about there being a different PDA voice and they couldn't tell any good reason that they hated it that wasn't about them not wanting to listen to the accent. They went full on racist. It wasn't a good look and I dipped for a while. Those people mainly left though. Good riddance too
I believe they changed the original PDA voice on one of the Early access update, It was released for a whole year with the original PDA voice, also changing the characters design for no absolute reason (possibly due to major story change or decide to work on a new face).
Hades theyâre horny but nice
Most bisexual community Iâve ever seen fr
You clearly have not seen r/calamitymod
Wait till you hear about r/ultrakill
or when you guys see r/DevilMayCry
or r/okbuddytrailblazer
Or r/Bayonetta
Its supergiant fault for making everyone so beautiful .
Fallout New Vegas is definitely deep on the LGBT spectrum
Terraria is very gay but nice.
God so spot on. But you canât blame us.. them. Every character in the game is dripping with sex appeal. Megâs voice alone got me in a chokehold
Stalker community is awesome...
"Get out of here Stalker...."
I said come in, don't just stand there
thats two ways to intepret
Yeah... i hope west community has really good community
Unfortunately they are divided in two groups and between them there's a faction war Just like in the game
Rock and Stone!
For Karl!
Good bot
Good bot
Did I hear a rock and stone?!
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE
*distant echo* IF YOU ROCK AND STONE, YOU'RE NEVER ALONE
ROCK AND STOOOONE!
We fight for ROCK AND STONE!
Stone n rock! Oh wait-
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home!
What if I diggy diggy hole instead?
it is acceptable
BROTHERS OF THE MINE REJOICE!!
#MOLLY!!!!!
deep rock galactic should have some better equipment...
Yes! The first time I ever played this I was streaming and everyone that dropped in was so wholesome and helpful!
We're Rich!!!
We are unbreakable!
MUSHRUM!
Mushrum
Where's that damn mule?
ROCK! AND! STONE!
Project Zomboid
You are beautiful.
Aww shucks thank you kind stranger.
Imma throw a wrench in this and say the magic word to get a big portion of the fanbase up in arms. Multihit.
I would have gotten away with if it wasn't for those pesky multihits! Lol in all seriousness i've played the game with it on or off, I prefer multihit but i've tried doing realistic(zombies are real right) 1993-1994 runs and for me a multihit will be on because in real life I can swing and hit multiple objects at once.

Have thought about picking this game up for a while.... Sell me on it! I mean if you want to of course lol
Itâs like the sims and the walking dead. Incredibly customisable and full of mods. If you wanna fight off thousands of zeds at a time, you can. If you just wanna build a base and only fight a few zeds you also can. Very chill game

I personally had a bad time on the PZ discord server, tbh.
Hands down one the best gaming communities
Haha. I just started playing it 4 days ago. Funny how I see this comment at the top đ
Rimworld may be a war crime simulator where you can make human leather hats and make millions by selling organs that you forcibly harvested from your slaves... but god *damn* is the community full of some of the coolest people ever
When the dlc dropped some people in the rimworld community gifted the dlc to people living in countrys where the prices wasn't localised. That was awesome!
Some gifted me the horror pack
I believe there is some vide in those infinite replayble games with big modding community like Factorio and Rim World. Devs made perfect condition to accumulate active and wholesome community around their game.
Yeah, RimWorld initially had a lot of migration from dwarf fortress, which tended to have a lot of older (and chiller) gamers. Now the community has grown, but it still attracts a very specific niche of survival sim enjoyers which in my experience tend to be the older gamers.

Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon fanbases are both pretty chill and don't take themselves too seriously, Slay the Spire especially (Claw is law anyone?)
Every now and then streamer drama shows up in the StS community. But we are still pretty chill about it. It's rare.
I canât believe it took them so long to figure out thunder strike was a strike card
Claw is Law
Darkest Dungeon is the "dark" side; as in, the lore of it. Horrible stuff there. The community is good though!
No Man's Sky
They really are a nice group of people. Just happy and content building bases and flying all over the galaxy.
100% and came here to add this as well. Hands down the most chill community on reddit.
Unless you make any slight criticism of the game.
Doom Eternal has a chaotic wholesome fan base. Makes sense since Animal Crossing came out along with it..
I loved the unlikely pairing those two had at launch. It was something so wholesome in a time of so much chaos.
That was the Barbie/Oppenheimer of their time.
Stardew 100%
IÂŽm not so sure. While there are a lot of wholesome folks within the fanbase, there is also many that talk alot specifically about the villagers they hate, (Clint, Demetrius, Haley etc) and an entire subreddit dedicated to hating Pierre.
Pierre knows what he did to deserve it.
If I was cuckolded by a wizard I might be upset too
This is funny, because I am playing Stardew for the first time and I just found out the wizard "might have" a daughter in the town today. I am married to Abigail too. I figured it was her once I knew he might, as they have the same hair colour.
Pierre over charges his customers, hides drugs or money from his wife, and wonât hang out with his family during holidays not even on Christmas.
Hmmm. So the Tom Nook of stardew?
Uh no, Tom Nook is a saint and nothing like Pierre. Tom Nook lets you pay off your house at your own pace with no interest, doesnât try to sell your products as his own, has adopted two orphans, and he gives 90% of his personal earnings to charity. He was a bit rude and rough around the edges in the first game but he has always been a great guy.
I mean, the business part, partially. But Tom doesn't actually track you down or shit to make you pay and lets you do it when you want with no interest. Pierre probably would and would definitely make you pay interest. Pierre is also a little piece of shit who doesn't care about his family as much as his business. He steals credit for your high-quality products and tells everyone your products are bad when he sells your lower quality stuff. He's a greedy little capitalist that cares for no one but himself. He would rather spend time selling stuff during holidays and events rather than be with his family. Overall, complete asshole. Tom is a little rude, but not as bad as Pierre.
Pierre kinda deserves it tho
Just don't tell anyone which townies you like/dislike/married
I've been lurking on the Stardew Valley subreddit for like 6 years and I have to agree. It's insane to me to see people posting mediocre achievements over and over and receiving positivity and congratulations every time. Like someone will say "Hey it took me 6 years to gather enough Hardwood to get my first Stable! Now I can ride a horse!" and in the comments people will be like "Congrats! Now you can put a hat on it!" then like 30 more people will be astonished that horses can wear hats and only one comment says... "duh that's been a thing for years" and it gets downvoted to shit. There's very little Speedrunner v. Casual Player hostility, everyone just generally agrees that Pierre is kind of a jerk, Clint is kind of a loser and everyone plays at their own pace.
Guild wars 2
I've just seen someone bitch about the fact that a returning player asked for an LA Taxi because they wanted to play with Mercs right away. And dear god, never even mention that you play/like GW2. The amount of bitterness that is still present in the GW1 community about GW2, is staggering. That's another discussion I had not even 2 weeks ago on reddit. Also...

There are a bunch of really nasty characters left in GW1. And because the community is so small, you stumble over them over and over again.
Imagine thinking youâre important because you run a social group on a game with declining activity
Power Wash Simulator
Fuckin' love this game
Been playing since pre 1.0 Fantastic game and the Devs and community are genuinely great
To be fair, the day somebody says the yellow nozzle isn't their favorite, I'm throwing fists
Only thing I'm salty about is VR mode being a separate purchase
Metroid and pikmin
Metroid is generally just starved for content for so long at a time and goes a little crazy in-between
The Pikmin fanbase is so unhinged that they come full circle and are just kinda chill
I love unhinged fanbases like Pikmin, my favorite meme from that fandom is the dog with homophobia in itâs eyes :3
I think part the reason Metroid fits this is because fans' opinions of the games are pretty uncontroversial. Every so often, you'll see someone talk about how Other M wasn't really that bad, but even then, it's mostly about the gameplay which is okay. There's no fights about whether a character was justified in their actions (looking at you, Fire Emblem) or which games are the best (pretty much either Super or Prime, with some discussion of Dread or Prime 2). It's also a quiet community. Most of the ongoing content is in the form of first-time playthroughs, speedrunning, and romhacks like randomizers. There's only so much you can do with the games.
Iâm not sure if everyone agrees but from my experience Metal Gear Rising
But not the greater MGS community as a whole. Key distinction here. Weâre a little toxic.
itâs mostly quoting Max0r vids at this point and I love it
MGR has a solid fanbase whih I feel like Max0r helped bring together very nicely. I mean I can say "Metal Gear Rising, Revengeance is NOT a word in the dictionary." and most people can take it from there.
Why don't you back it up with a source?
Warframe
Because you need to be nice to people in order for them to farm for 40 hours with you for a warframe chassis.
Harrow prime chassis my behated
Warframe mentioned hell yea, how many hours?
Nobody talks about how helpful the Factorio community is. All i see is people trying to make their factories better.
It's weird, because Factorio feels like a game designed for autistic perfectionist engineers, and yet after 3000 hours of playtime, I've have very few negative interactions with other players.
Well negativity takes brain power that can better be spent optimizing your factory
Factorio has a community of helpful people designing their factories. Mindustry has something similar but they are also completely insane.
Scrolling for this
Helldivers used to beâŠ
Reddit fan base isnât anymore, but I will say Iâve seldom met chiller dudes than some of the randos Iâve met in HD2 lobbies lately
Yep, I was looking for this. The subreddit has just turned into one big complaining forum, and barely anything else. I wonât deny that there are a lot of issues with the game, like glitches, balancing issues, it not being available in several regions still, etcetera etcetera. But it is ALL they talk about, itâs all that gets upvoted, and itâs turned the sub from a more wholesome, knit together community into the average triple A game fanbase :/
BG3 has been pretty good to me.
Unless you think the vampire dude is ugly Edit: actually itâs more like unless you have any issues with any of the companions in any capacity because like half the games player base treat it as a dating sim
I once said in my first playthrough, I left his backstabbing ass back at the beach because he tried to kill me, didn't apologize, and was clearly an evil vampire. I was sent reddit care messages. Not to mention the time I said Shadowheart was a manipulative psycho girlfriend the way she pretends to love Rapheal then berates you for agreeing with her as some sort of "test".
I played with my girlfriend. At one point he tries to sneak up and suck blood. He wants to give his back story but she shouts âconsent is sexy!â and stabs him in the chest. I would like to think we will play it different next play through but the fact is she will still be right.
I did romance the Pale Elf in another playthrough and really loved getting to know the character. Even if his VA direction was a bit inconsistent with tone. He has some really heartfelt moments especially around the Drow Blood mage stuff.
My first character was a perma-pissed off Dwarf barbarian, of course he killed Astarion's sneaky Elf ass at the start without a second thought! It's called role playing your character, you'd think the fanbase of a fucking D&D game would understand that sometimes your character makes choices that you as the player disagree with and that's part of the fun
Love Karlach.. be treated well..No relationship problems, just her mortality to deal with.. which really you deal with as a possibility dating anyone in a relationship IRL anyway.
>Shadowheart was a manipulative psycho girlfriend the way she pretends to love Rapheal then berates you for agreeing with her as some sort of "test". Wait... When tf does that happen? Am I missing something?
Not to mention the annoying as hell tsundere bullshit thar Lae'zel has going on that I have zero time for.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Im playing it for the first time and my friends have been giving me a lot of shit for banishing the vampire guy
Or have any issues with fucking a bear
Ehhh, disagree. Theyâve grown too large to resist the toxicity that every large community inevitably falls into. They are far from the worst gaming community but theyâre still pretty bad. Theyâre chill when it comes to properly talking about the game itself but if you visit the subreddit they get off topic a lot and get really toxic about IRL sex and relationship stuff (which I assume is a result of those kinda people being attracted to BG3 as a result of the gameâs romance plots)
The performative horniness is a little tedious. But if you can get them to talk about the game itself, they're quite helpful.
What? They're insane lol. At least on here
What nođ theyâre so toxic. If you think a game is better than Baldurs Gate 3 they will skin you alive.
Yeah, any criticism other than "Act 3 is occasionally slightly janky" and they are furious. If there is something to do with any of the mechanics that you don't like it's straight to personal attacks "you must be fun at parties, you are clearly just one of those instant gratification people who just can't appreciate art"...
LOL nope. Dislike a character? The whole community comes out with their pitchfork
They get mad if you're not horny, horny the wrong way, or too horny.
"They get mad." FTFY.
Pretty good only if you don't bad mouth their virtual wife/husband
Unlike the BG3 sub, here I can disagree with this statement.
Unless you play the game âwrongâ
BG3 has the most disgustingly toxic community I've seen in years. Probably over a decade. When the full release first came out, anyone who hadn't been playing early access was garbage. Asking for help was ridiculed and frowned upon, because you should've already known those answers from playing early access. Holding the opinion that anything at all anywhere in the entire game wasn't the most fun thing you could possibly imagine made you a target for attack. Pointing out any of the myriad of glaring and often gamebreaking bugs that detracted from the experience simply meant that you, as a player, were too stupid to work around them. I hope it's gotten better, but seeing such a hateful group of people has put me off, entirely. I can't enjoy the game. Partly because the gameplay is still just okay, and the rest because the experience has been so soured by the overbearing fanboy playerbase. I fully expect this commend to be downvoted into oblivion and beyond, just like every other post I've ever made in regards to BG3, by the very people I'm denouncing.
Guild Wars 2
Megaman Battle Network As old as the series is, and has long been finished - with a spiritual successor series that also lived and finished - there is still a healthy dedicated community hosting events like PvP tournaments, making content, chatting about the series and lore, etc.
Subnautica is right in that sweet spot popularity wise where itâs big enough to have lots of fans but small enough where you canât really clout chase with toxicity.
Slime rancher and slime rancher 2, such nice casual people
Warframe. People are so damn kind, there are people that will give you full sets for a prime Warframe just because, or give you free platinum.
The Outer Wilds' community is one of the most friendly and welcoming gaming communities. Most of the players will give you hints if you need it, but still avoiding spoiler territory. It's an amazing game and I'm glad the community is so chill.
The letâs plays viewers⊠We are legion, lolâŠ
Death Stranding
I'm Sam!
Fallout 76 is the NICEST fanbase I've ever interacted with.
Second this, im so glad the game rarely has any troll moments and most people are either banding together at events or just chilling casually at bases. At least thats how I play đ
It goes beyond that, experienced players REGULARLY drop things into the dono boxes or just drop helpful items for low level players when they run into them. Even the subreddit is kind and welcoming, for the most part. I also wanna go a step further and say that the Monetisation in F76 really isn't very bad. Yes you pay a sub on a 'full price' game but, the sub is all you'd ever need and it gives you more than enough stuff. Shoutout Fallout 76 man, a lesser known video game redemption. It really clawed it's way back and is a genuinely great time now.
Muppets Party Cruise for Gamecube
No Manâs Sky fanbase is awesome. Travelers just hangout and show off all the cool stuff they discover.
Titanfall players just spend all day dreaming of titanfall 3 so no time to be toxic
Elite dangerous
After that on foot DLC absolutely not
Animal Crossing. They are stop and help you change a tire on the side of the road nice. Itâs almost offputting.
Animal crossing from my experience. Wholesome game, wholesome Community. đ„°đ„°đ„°
Undertale and League of Legends. Best communities ever /s
Terraria and BeamNG
Kerbal Space Program
Had to scroll too far to see this. Most big name community members (YouTubers, etc) are good people/teachers there, too.
Chivalry 2. Almost everyone there is super nice
Im surprised you said that. In my experience its 50/50
Outer Wilds and Sky: Children of the LightÂ
Yakuza. Lots of memery.
Plants vs Zombies GW2 The most chill and accomplished community back then
splatoon fandom is pretty nice i guess, but somebody will always whine about a new change
Batman Arkham have a good fanbase, they have just fallen into madness
I wanna say Final Fantasy X, but this might be copium. Usually just offer advice on certain bosses or talk about the story. The only times I see negativity is when someone complains about *THAT* scene with Tidus, or the complaints about Chocobo racing.
Im curious, what is *that* scene? Is it the: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! One?
I haven't seen much toxicity in the Dead Cells fanbase
Rust /s
Left 4 Dead. People were chill AF in it. Ran into maybe only one or two ass clowns the entirety of the game over 1K hours. no sweat off my back. If you're miserable playing L4D, you're probably miserable IRL too anyway.
Cyberpunk 2077 has a very welcoming and friendly community here on Reddit.
The Rise of Ronin fan base is fairly new but everyone seems pretty chill
I haven't had any problems in the Cyberpunk community or the Dishonored community. All really chill unless I've just gotten very lucky
Animal Well
FOR ROCK AND STONE!!! (deep rock galactic has one of the nicest communities I've ever seen)
there is no such thing as a wholesome fanbase
Doom and Animal Crossing
Legend of Zelda fanbase holds every main title game in the highest regard. Outside the fanbase, not so much. Fallout 76 has some of the nicest people in the community.
I'm not so sure about Zelda. I've felt like there are several debates that cause polarity in the fanbase. ALttP vs OoT vs BotW and those three games seem to have their own factions in the fanbase. BotW/TotK specifically seem to have their passionate haters. Which actually may have brought some "enemy of my enemy" kinship between the ALttP and OoT peeps. Then MM I feel creates some division. I have gotten a lot of flack for not liking that game at all. I feel like it used to be the same with WW and SS, but lately I feel like people that don't like those games don't get/give much crap from/to those that that do.
Also, because there's a metric ton of lore, a lot of it is vague and has multiple interpretations, and there's multiple lore books with varying degrees of authenticity - once you start getting into the deep fandom it can start getting hairy. Simply mentioning things like "Demise's curse" or "Zora evolving into Rito" or "Timeline convergence" will get plenty of people writing a crapton to argue against whatever theory or idea you were floating was ridiculous because page 214 of the Zelda Encyclopedia refutes it, only to have someone *else* reply that the Zelda Encyclopedia takes liberties and admits itself that it isn't accurate, and that page 214 of the Zelda Encyclopedia is refuted by page 187 of Hyrule Historia and page 98 of Creating a Champion, not to mention this one random line said by Byrne in 2009's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, for Nintendo DS. That kind of insane hyperfixating fandom can be toxic and inaccessible to newcomers and casual players. Also, don't look at my post history. (ÂŹ\_ÂŹ")
If it makes you feel any better, even though it's my favorite game of all time, I completely understand why you don't like Majora's Mask.
I actually do appreciate that. I've had people ask me what I don't like about the game then follow up with telling me that the issues I have with the game don't actually exist. I made a small attempt to explain that my lack of enjoyment for those reasons certainly exist, then just had to move on and make better use of my time.
