Anyone else tend to be elitistic (to a negative point) in gaming?

Fun is subjective.

I am elitist, but about platforms, not about player performance.

PC Master Race

yes, i have a rage key now, i press f11 when i'm losing to quit

youre misusing the term elitist....

Multiplayer games are only fun if you're 1) winning 2) playing with friends, with having fun with friends being the more important factor or 3) loosing, but still had a very good and intense fight. It's only elitist when 1) is the only way to make you enjoy your match, which happens to me sometimes, sadly :/. Depends on the game, i guess

Someone enter the ga's lol :p

Certain games more than others, mainly League of Legends, but it's not so much only being fixated on winning as much as it is having low tolerance for people being bad or stupid. I never say anything to the people in question (because I don't like being rude and for all I know they're new to the game and still learning or young or whatever) but I tend to sit here complaining about it constantly to my boyfriend until he finally tells me to just shut up.

I've encountered a lot of people like that in TF2 though. Last time I played (a couple days ago) I was on a practically empty payload server with just my boyfriend, a good friend of ours, and some other guy. It was the other guy and me against my friend and boyfriend and we weren't really trying that hard, mostly just screwing around. Halfway through the second round we were there for the random stranger on my team goes on spectator and my boyfriend, being silly, asks why he did that. He replies "So I can watch my shitty teammate. This is good entertainment." My friend says "We're all friends, we're not even trying, and she got a ton more points than you last round." The guy just goes on and on and on about how we're all so awful (constantly ignoring us telling him we're not even trying), how I'm apparently a stupid and pathetic and a failure, so I just stood off to the side and watched my boyfriend and friend make it their sole mission to hunt the asshole down and repeatedly kill him while mocking him and throwing all his stupid insults back at him.

I mean I didn't know my life's worth came from my ability to play a video game. Who knew.

I really am one of those "well it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just a game, it's supposed to be fun..." people but they can still be frustrating and I do get irritated sometimes. I agree that multiplayer games are a lot more fun with friends and that generally makes me less prone to getting irritated because the friends I play with are often in the same room with me so I'll be talking to them and laughing about the stupid crap we're doing.

Some people do take these things waaaaaay too seriously though.

Thanks for the giveaways BTW, although I have both of those already.

If you're not first, you're last.

No, I don't. I rage a bit if I make a fuck up that causes me to loose or if there is someone who is clearly cheating on the opponents team.

Thanks for the giveaways :P.

I don't play much multiplayer, so this isn't usually the case for me. I don't even mind losing, so long as I'm not on a side that's constantly losing. When that's the case, you're better off changing servers, in search of a more balanced team.

The easiest way to suck the fun out of multiplayer is to have someone railing against their own team.

The word is "elitist", not "elitistic".

Doesn't sound so much like elitism as yet another angry kid.

Better question would be who's not.

I don't consider myself a "pro" in any game, and i'm not really into PVP (except planetside 2, but with all the people involved in a battle, it's hard to blame someone for something).

I'm more into coop, our kind is more "patient" towards newer/inexperienced players :P

you can give me your tf2 items. add me. :)

Depends on how you consider fun.Fun is not about winning or loosing,i mean,i have met some great people on Dota 2 that i still play with them even tough we lose from time to time.Nobody is perfect,and in Dota 2 you only need a couple of mistakes for a game to be over and dominated.But fun is actualy made by the people that you are playing with.And not only in Dota.

You should consider looking up the definition of elitist first.

I don't hate losing unless it's about 5 games on the run, I can even deal with most trash talking.
Most annoying thing for me is players telling me what I should do in a game. I block them in games that allow it and just carry on.

L4D2 was a baptism of fire in multiplayer gaming for me. Most other communities seems a lot more friendly after that.
