This is basically a thread to share your stories based on your experiences with players of game franchises.
Whether it be good, bad or "okay". I'm pretty sure people here have some interesting stories to tell about the types of players they've come across over certain games.
I'll start just to see if this goes anywhere.
From my experience-
GOOD/DECENT
Tekken: This game's community has had it's ups and downs. However it's far from the worst I've dealt with. From what I've seen, most people will play this game competitively (or at least try to) but that's to be expected with a fighting game. Game lobbies are usually a mixed basket- sometimes you'll get a lobby full of people who play the game competitively, but don't take it super seriously. Other times you'll get the people who play competitively and complain constantly. Sometimes you'll get a lobby full of people who don't know how to play, but don't exactly care either. Other times you'll get a lobby full of people who don't know how to play, but will accuse you of cheating every time they lose. Often times when I've played random matches away from lobbies, I'd receive a message from the person I played against. Sometimes It'd be something along the lines of "Good game", other times it'll be some basement dweller either bragging that he won or bitching because he lost. Like I said, to me it's not the worst, but it's far from the best.
Gran Turismo: From what Gran Turismo 5 and 6 showed me, lots of people playing this game online tend to be chill- But then again, it's a driving sim, so what exactly can you get mad at (besides maybe the occasional player who'll drive backwards and try to crash into everyone/block the road)? To me, this game's community is somewhat similar to Battlefield's- as in, people buy it, play it and either keep playing, or only play it every once in a while. It's also similar in terms of people socializing. For the most part, most of the communicating I've heard in GT6 was either casual conversation, or people asking each other questions related to the game. Often times, conversations in this would be car related (which makes it somewhat different from Battlefield in a way- People I've met over On GT6 will often engage in conversations about vehicles, AKA, what the game is about. People I've heard in Battlefield don't exactly talk about guns, terrorism and all that). So basically, this game seems to attract people who are sociable and often times car enthusiasts. Probably the most down-to-earth community I've dealt with to be honest.
Now we move onto-
BAD/HORRIBLE
Call of Duty: Now, I'm not going to accuse everyone who plays this game of being "anti-social" or "nerdy" or "over-competitive", seeing as owning at least one CoD game is more-or-less a social norm. It's a well known franchise, lots of people I know have at least one game from this franchise, and I'm sure many of you know a few people who play this game as well. However, I've played Modern Warfare 1/2 , Black Ops and Ghosts at a friend's house often when I'd visit. And a lot of the time, we'd be in a server full of people arguing and bitching at each other (the same types of arguments I hear over GTAO actually, which tells me some things about GTAO's community). From over-competitive gamers, to gamepad thugs, to internet racists, this game has introduced me to some ****ty people. Every once in a while we'd get a server with people who are actually somewhat alright, but that doesn't exactly make up for the many times I'd hear nerds screaming at each other, having race wars or resorting to the classic "i ****ed your mom". Not the WORST community out there, but it's still pretty bad.
