Yes, R6 Siege is a great game but you got to understand.

1: Starter Edition is a borderline scam.

Starter edition is cheaper but it quadruples the amount of in-game currency you need to farm just to unlock the basic non-dlc operators. And if you want that handicap removed you have to, as a Steam purchase, ask Steam to remove the game from your account then purchase the standard edition.

Console people note: there isn’t a starter on console. Just on PC.

Not sure but I would like to point out that Siege is basically multiplayer only. There is a single player mode but its a glorified target practice mode, and the new 3 player co-op mode they released this week only lasts for a month and then gets removed.

I *did* say there was good and bad behind the management at Ubi supporting the game.

There was a Vegas 2 which was very similar to Vegas iirc, but that was the last single player RS, as said before the really interesting part about RSS is the multiplayer part. It really seems like the kinda game that is really fun only if you can find people you know to play with.

It's like they don't know that there are ways to express your displeasure without being a total rear end in a top hat about it. Instead of "Suck on a barrel you SJW human being!" maybe respond with "You cost our team that round because you were playing like an idiot. Please stop it" You have, like, actual words. Use them. And if it becomes clear that he is screwing the team up on purpose, I'm sure there is some way to report it. All throwing endless slurs does is make you look like an idiot.

More idiots getting mad.

Being mad at the fact that Ubisoft only recently started cracking down on toxic behaviour, which means they were ok with it before!


Being mad at being banned even though they knew they were breaking the rules!








Being mad because your friends are loving idiots!


Being mad because as long as you don't talk about toxicity, everything is fine!


(obligatory Kelly cartoon
)

Being mad because toxicity is part of gamer culture!






Being mad because now you're all tense, actively trying not to use slurs!

And one last batch from the ubisoft forums









Here comes the "people are now too afraid to talk" argument again.


This is a new one: you can't be racist in a video game because your character isn't even real maaaaaaan


One more for the "I know i was an rear end in a top hat, but please I really don't want to be punished for it" pile.




THE TRUE TOXIC PEOPLE ARE THE SJWs !!!!

I wonder if this account is a Markov that has been trained in Russian bit tweets. It feels that way to me for some reason, and the Colossus avatar and name fits.

It's funny (humiliating) because I remember being similarly riled like a decade ago about, like, I dunno changes to the warlock class or something in WoW and taking to the forums to vent my righteous fury. Kids with internet access say/do dumb poo poo... glad mine wasn't reprehensible racism I guess.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

What I got from all those Ubisoft things is that players should probably listen to a different System of a Down album.

If it means lovely people like those commentors aren't playing then it is a big positive.

Any team-based game is going to have to deal with the frustration of having novice team members, people that don't follow instructions, etc. But a toxic playerbase just makes this 10x worse, and the freedom to be a total shitheel causes things to escalate. Honestly the best fun I've had in games like this wasn't when I was on some amazing team and pwned everybody, it was when I was struggling with doing better, teamed up with similarly mediocre players, and everybody was really chill and supportive in spite of being terrible.

Here's an example of the player base that I've collected since July of last year. There were probably just as many from before then but I've since deleted those screenshots.
