Alright.
Why the fuck do people think it's acceptable to play online games without a mic?
Why is it acceptable for them, if they do own one, to either leave it off completely and use text chat in hopes someone will notice, or just flat out refuse to turn it on to communicate even the most basic information?
Why do people in this day and age just not own one?
Who goes out to the store, knowingly buys a game or gets one online, that focuses heavily on multiplayer, and doesn't stop to think that they may actually need to talk to people?
Is it actual autism? Are these people just that socially retarded that they cannot produce the will to talk to actual humans?
I'm genuinely curious. It's almost as stereotypical to find these people as the generic nigger with his mic on, blasting shitty music from afar.
>It's almost as stereotypical to find these people as the generic nigger with his mic on, blasting shitty music from afar.
And with that, you answered your own question. Most people playing online games are complete cockholes who would provide the most benefit to online gaming by not having their squeaky voice and shit music overlaying the game at hand.
>thinking a mic will solve anything
One out of a thousand times people will actually listen to the faggot trying to get them to work as a cohesive group and win the game. Every other time they will keep shouting nigger and making fart noises.
>>337530619
The assorted foul-mouthed children, drooling idiots, and other human garbage that are my teammates are not worthy of communicating with me. I neither listen to chat in multiplayer games nor speak on it.
>>337530619
I've never used a mic in any online game and immediately mute everybody when I enter a game. Fuck listening to your awful voice and shitty banter. Everyone else can strategize around me.
I bet you're the one guy who always bosses the whole team around
>>337530831
>Most people playing online games are complete cockholes who would provide the most benefit to online gaming by not having their squeaky voice and shit music overlaying the game at hand
No. The most beneficial aspect is completely taken away. Simple communication can make a world of difference just as much as a lone child can ruin an entire experience. >>337531059
This is the mentality of one of these people.
It doesn't need to solve a damn thing. It doesnt have to miraculously make your team play better, although it is an effect. You're playing with other people. We have the ability to communicate with anyone in the world. Why remain a shut in, when at the absolute very least, you can talk to your team even slightly to show the slightest glimmer of competence?
>>337530619
I have two jobs. My gaming time is a small window of time when my girlfriend tries to sleep. I'm not going to start talking out loud and annoying her just to appease some online stranger. If I'm playing with friends, then we'll organize to play at a time when we can all talk, but it's not always an option.
I generally keep to Push to Talk. If I got nothing to say there's no need to a continuous broadcast.
>>337531276
So, what you're saying is that you know you're shit, and don't want to hear anyone tell you? I get it. Its always the ones who fail repeatedly who never think they're the problem
>>337531851
You're still using your mic. That's acceptable and even sensible. You aren't cluttering the game with unnecessary noise, but know when to say something. This doesn't apply to you, but the ones who refuse it entirely
>>337530619
Only console faggots use mics publicly.
PC master race ONLY uses mics with their friends and team-mates, preferably over TS / Skype / etc.
If I play MP alone, I play it for the experience. Not to socialize. If the game lacks good voice messages, then I type if necessary.
I believe It's better off for players to use their own knowledge and believe in their teammates to coordinate tactics and skills together without the need of communication.
Having a mic is also something not everyone's going to have. You're still bound to get 2 or 3 people on your team that don't even own a mic.
Very strong accent, sorry, much shame.
>>337530619
>Why the fuck do people think it's acceptable to play online games without a mic?
Because no one wants to talk to a spastic memelord like you
Every game should just have robust voice commands like TF2.
>>337532268
Not every one uses mics, even in TS. You'll always get the silent ones that neither listen nor speak.
Why is that okay?
>>337532354
>Having a mic is something not everyone is going to have
How? Why is this a thing? Regardless of the platform you're playing on, you're still playing online, usually with a team. Why is it okay to not have one, yet be able to afford the setup to play? Even if you aren't constantly talking and only use push to talk, having one is far more beneficial than not
>>337532498
Whatever you say you fucking eight legged freak.
I don't want to talk to the people who play games online
I get tired of kids who aren't even old enough to understand the world they're living in saying NIGGER like its the cool new hip word to say and not a useful term to describe well, niggers.
>>337531276
>vote to kick
Also, you literally have Autism
Because I aint tryin to talk to autists who take their multiplayer games so damn serious nigga.
I mean damn son, chill the fuck out. If I don't wanna talk to yo ass, I don't gotta.
I like the Dark Souls system where you gesture the other player what to do.
If every game did that, I'd be happy. No more prepube kids trying to sound like they're some kind of badass
>>337530619
I think no one should have a mic in pubs. I hate listing to autistic 12 year olds scretching

So, you don't use a mic that you already own to communicate with a team, simply because a child, who is probably dragging you down anyway, just happens to have his on like he should? Irritating or not, usually the former, it still has the mic on. That's why mute functions exist.
>""""""""girl"""""""""
>conveniently doesnt have a mic

>>337533174
Who the fuck has a team with people they know? I don't make online friends, that's a good way to get doxed or find yourself procrastinating and wasting time on shit like Ventrilo. I play random queues
You probably aren't old enough to remember a time, but online multiplayer and microphones used to be separate phenomenon. Back then, people actually paid attention to the game and they didn't need to socialize and engage in pep talk to get people to work together.
>>337533024
>Because I aint tryin to talk to autists who take their multiplayer games so damn serious nigga.
If you don't take games seriously, what are you even doing on /v/? is your life so empty that you put this much time and effort into interacting with a community about a hobby you don't take seriously?
>>337533024
>I mean damn son, chill the fuck out. If I don't wanna talk to yo ass, I don't gotta.
How do you function in the real world with this attitude?
Vote to kick
>>337533024
Nobody said anything about taking a game "too seriously." It's usually people like you that hold everyone else back and use it as an excuse to justify being bad. It's not taking things "too seriously" to play a game to win. It's just common practice.
>>337530619
>Why is it acceptable for them, if they do own one, to either leave it off completely and use text chat in hopes someone will notice
I don't know. I learned how to type reasonably fast by playing Quake online when I was 8 so it's kind of a habit. I'd rather read than listen to a mouth breather get flustered or some teenager spouting memes and nigger over the mic. I only use the mic with friends or people I'm in a clan or something with
Multiplayer games are cancer.
Though I don't mind games that have online functions though like invading, sharing stuff you made or spectating
Pure online games where one person can ruin everything? Nah, fuck those
>>337533280
>Who the fuck has a team with people they know?
people who aren't Autistic
>I don't make online friends, that's a good way to get doxed or find yourself procrastinating and wasting time on shit like Ventrilo. I play random queues
You are paranoid and have delusions of adequacy. you have no online friends for the same reason you have no IRL friends, you are a piece of shit who hates himself, and for good reason
Because no one uses it for teammwork. The only faggots on the mic are children calling other children nigger.

This. When I was younger I put up with it but now I just want you fags to shut the hell up so I can enjoy my game in peace for a bit. Although I'll be on PS4 where faggots leave their mics on just because so we have to listen to random shit or their music. Last week some kid was singing like justin bieber so I sent him some nasty mail.

>>337533280
>Who the fuck has a team with people they know?
people who aren't unlikable faggots
>>337533313
I used to only type whenever I played mmos in the past simply because ts didn't exist at the time. It makes things run smoothly without any mishap. You should know the difference between doing so and not doing so. With times evolving, why not use the new way of communication to further progress your success?
Most people who use mics are children. Some not even in high school or even junior high yet
Besides, who the fuck can't touch type? Did they stop teaching that skill to people?
>>337533496
>playing a video game is the same as waiting at a subway
Go join a sports/hobby club, and refuse to talk to anybody. see how that goes
>>337533378
That's perfectly fine, as i used to do the same. It's still an active attempt at communicating with the people you're playing with.
>>337533743
video games are not a sport, cut that cancerous attitude out
>try to talk
>people start saying shit like ching chong
>not even Chinese
what the fuck, how about you and your faggot friends turn yours mics off OP?
>>337533684
MOBAs and FPS and shit require real time comms to be effective in some situations
but ultimately its a fucking game and we aren't playing for prizes so who gives a fuck?
>>337533743

Both analogies are stupid.

>>337533817
>video games are not a sport
Why not?
>>337534080
well, there's your answer then. Fuck em
I'd rather listen to the game audio than loud annoying children
I don't use them because there's absolutely no reason for me to give a fuck what my shitter teammates are doing. I'm always the hard carry, why should I bother talking to my inferiors?

I can live without ever talking to any of these people.
>>337530619
Difference between using a Mic in different games. If its something like TF2, Dota, who gives a fuck.
FUCK YOU if you play competitive Counter Strike without a microphone. Fuck you six thousand times with a rusty tire iron. CS is one of the competitive games where immediate, concise information is *required* in order for a team to succeed.

>When I was younger I put up with it but now I just want you fags to shut the hell up so I can enjoy my game in peace for a bit.

Are fighting games team based?
Why are you playing with randoms and expecting them to communicate
Shouldn't you be playing with friends
Do you not have friends
>>337534176
Show me your sick skinz you paid for so. I love how Gabe gets away with charging people with something that used to be free.
Especially the people who act like they are more hardcore because of it
>>337534481
You're right. It does matter what you're playing. In this case, it's competitive games in general that require teamwork. It does matter.
>>337530619
I don't know you, I do t like you, and you have not earned the right to even be heard by me. Keep up with 130wpm wall of text, if you even get the privlage of being talked to by me.
>>337534346
I don't prefer it, i talk when needed, but for it to help there would need to be no:
- russians
- babbies
- trolls
- bad players
with whom talking on mic is useless to actually move forward in the game. I take a laissez faire approach, so if my game is full of shitters I just relax and go with the flow. If the team is trying hard i go with that.
I think thats as best you can get when you cant control the community.
>>337534556
Team based games are casual shit because other people can carry you. Games that test your own skill are the real anti-casual
>>337534490
>topscore every game by a wide margin

>>337534626
Nobody said anything about randoms. Friends are also capable of being micless. People you know aren't immune to incompetence, simply because you know them. To others, they're the biggest offenders.

I completely block out mics on online games due to:
>Low Quality Mics
>Faggots who dont use push t talk
>Squealers
>Music blasters
Nothing good comes of mics in pubs.
>>337530619
I used to like the idea of having a mic for online games.
Then I started playing online games.
Outside of gaming with people I actually know, the memories I have of running into people while casually playing a game who use the mic for actual teamwork and such is very, very limited, to the point where it's not worth fucking discomforting myself with the headset.
I spent a single night on Halo 3 in random matchmaking muting screeching children, morons using their mic to blast music and not talk, redneck fucks screaming at their girlfriends, and other bullshit. One night.
I then spent the rest of my time on Xbox 360 running into people I'd previously muted.
Anyone good enough to play with can interpret my gameplay to coordinate with me, the same way I coordinate with them. Fuck the headset which will be used to just listen to low fidelity mix tapes and screeching urchins.
>>337535143
This just doesn't happen and you know it. Stop making excuses
>>337535135
> being good against other people that are also good
Are you stupid? That's exactly what you do in fighting and other 1v1 games.
You don't do that in team games. It's whoever can be carried better
>>337534090

>>337535263
You literally deal with multiple people at once in team games, or are you one of the faggots that scream and shout because you aren't getting a fair 1v1 fight? There's no such thing as a fair fight, bud
>>337530619
i have a headset and i rarely use it, i don't want to talk to you deal with it.
>>337530619
I have a profressional grade microphone attached to my desk that I haven't used in two years. I'm not interested in socializing with you faggots. It is not my responsibility to make up for your lack of game sense.
>>337534251
>I'm always the hard carry, why should I bother talking to my inferiors?
so, 4 people using mics to feed you information while you don't give them any info, i think you are the detriment
>>337535495
That wasn't the original argument at all. Where are you even getting this from?
Team games don't require as much skill because other people are helping you.

If you're the one holding everyone back, it actually is your responsibility. Thinking you aren't the problem is the very root of the problem
I think there should be like Hz test where a high enough frequency voice disables your mic automatically
I communicate through gestures only, it's entertaining.
>>337535901

Stop trying to bring that mustard rice bullshit in here, makes me ashamed I have one.
Also, you still get loads of idiots on mics, you and your friends do not count for the entirety of the pc playerbase
>>337535817
It's a common argument that seems to stem from people that claim team games aren't as competitive. You don't constantly have people helping you at all. The original point was why people don't use mics.

Yeah see there's your problem. The fact that you think someone absolutely MUST help you not suck is why you will always be shit at videogames. I don't need a microphone and I don't need faggots chittering in my ear about shit I can figure out all by myself. That goes double for the fact that they're drowning out the fucking audio queues built into the game that would be telling me the exact same shit.

Having a mic is mutually beneficial for yourself and your whole team. The bottom line is, regardless of the situation, if you're on a team, in a team based game, communication is needed.
>>337536562
>The bottom line is, regardless of the situation, if you're on a team, in a team based game, communication is needed.

People never actually discuss strategy in online games. They always talk about other shit, even if you get together with friends and play.
They just use it like it's a group call and ignore the fact they're even playing
>>337530619

Depends on the game
Never have I even considered using my mic in a casual csgo match, and I mute everyone immediately. There is absolutely nothing at all constructive coming out of anyones mic at any time during one of those matches.
However, I feel the same way about games like Rust, Arma, etc. Pisses me off that people actually run around without a mic, then when I ask "Why did you shoot me" or "Why did you make me shoot you" and then they type "lol i dont have a mic".

Because I don't have to. It's that simple.
Most people who do use a mic in pub games are either underage, autistic spergs or blatant retards who leave their mic on while arguing with their mommies or blasting music to the rest of the server. Fuck that.
If I want to communicate with my team I'll hop on mumble/vent/TS etc and play in a premade. You're beyond autistic if you're expect coordination and communciation from pub players.

Fuck off, micfags.
>>337537605
>do you have any friends
Obviously I don't because I don't care about making human connections. It's pointless.
>>337537912
Wow, how edgy. Do you cut yourself too?
>>337537912
>pssshh
>>337537987
>edgy
Nice buzzword. Why would I cut myself? I'm perfectly happy being a hermit. There's nothing wrong with enjoying isolation
>>337537697
>can't afford a mic / lacks basic social skills
f-fuck you!
>>337537987
that post is about as edgy as a plastic butter knife
>>337538106
Haha, wow. Do you even pay your own bills?
>>337538195
yes I do pay my own bills
>>337538127
>getting mad at people for not using a mic
>putting up with retarded pubbies over voice chat is a basic social skill
>>337530619
I live with people who dont like me talking into the ether.at teammates online.
So, no mic.
>>337530619
I play with mic off in the majority of games I play, I'm not going to listen to children or people who have no idea how to talk normally scream in my ear for an entire game
>>337537376
Crying about non mic users being too socially retarded to talk to your dumb ass is not a genuine discussion.
>>337538253
But you need to go outside and "ocialize in the real world like a fucking normie" to make money
If you don't have those skills, you're probably stuck in your mom's basement or will be soon enough
>>337538391
This.
OP is a faggot as always
>>337538461
You're so retarded it's not even funny.
Quit shitposting, you suck at it.
>>337530619
Depends on the game
I'll never understand the appeal of coming on an anime imageboard like 4chan to shitpost at people for being social recluses.
It's like posting in the bodybuilding.com misc section and having no interest in the gym. It literally makes 0 sense.
>>337538461
>you need to go outside and socialize to make money
Yeah, if you're a retard. There's lots of ways to make money online. I make enough just doing online surveys and writing fake reviews for companies and gold farming.
I do more too. You can literally do everything you ever need online without coming face to face or talking to people
>>337538127
Bawwwww harder, OP. This is 4chan; we feed off your asspain.
>>337530619
Because why the fuck would I want to talk to a mouth-breather like you?
>>337530619
What makes you want to hear people talk online then, autism?
I paid for the game so I can play it online without a mic and muting everyone all I want. There is nothing you can do to stop me. You don't have to like it but you will have to accept it and move on.
>>337530619
I have one but I don't like to talk to autism riddled man children most of the time.
>>337538285
>I live with people who dont like me talking into the ether.at teammates online
double autism
I only use the microphone if I'm playing with friends. But I don't play stuff that requires it heavily like CS
I don't want to listen (or talk) to retards who cannot figure a fucking videogame out without constant communication and intense verbal planning. If there's something truly, truly important and life-changing, you can always halt for two fucking seconds to type it out.
>>337534820
Then why is OP asking /v/ and not his micless friends? I'm sure they could provide a better explanation.
>>337530619
eh i don't say shit because usually there's a niggar on the other end having to say shit like, "Fuck dis i own real guns! not fake guns like on here!" then continues to spew more stupid shit.
>>337539580
whoa hey anon. you good senpai?
>join 30 aussie servers
>in only 5 of those servers people actually use mics
JUST
>what guy who uses a $100 free-standing mic because he saw somebody on twitch using one and he self-identifies as a hardcore gamer
>>337543084
Nobody does that
>>337543185
You would be surprised how ricer 4chan is
>>337530619
It's not about talking to others, it's having to listen to them.
On any pug I pretty much always have mute all on.
>tfw play project reality
>absolutely everyone has a mic and engages in at least basic teamwork regularly
>go play another multiplayer game sometimes and immediately be disappointed
Non mics are non humans
>play a team based game
>nobody uses the mic
