I don't understand the Discord hate...it's straightforward and works (whether you're using it to game with randoms or just your friend group). Using FB chat to organize games is perfectly reasonable too if everyone you play with is on FB, but it's not like it has some superior features or workflow for doing that. Being able to voice chat in a game agnostic manner has obvious advantages (especially for friend groups rather than randos that you don't want to chat with outside of the game). Even if you personally don't want/need that functionality (which is fine), the benefit/use case should still be clear. I'm genuinely curious what people find so bad or hard to use about Discord assuming the people you want to play with use it.

I'm not sure you've played a recent console game if you think glitches are restricted to PCs. My PS5 has hardlocked more in the past few months then my PC has in years. Also Discord is a chat program chill out maybe?

Its funny because there's plenty of console players on discord some of them on a mouse and keyboard, and a whole bunch of pc players use a controller. Now that crossplay is becoming the norm it really all comes down to how much time you want to put into your system. Lazy like me play on console, enjoy tinkering with things play on pc. Now they we can all play together who cares lol.

eh I'm less worried about XIM, the controller "autoaim" on a KB/M isn't that great, there are situations where it's really strong (it ignores stuns) but overall it's not an extreme advantage.

The strike pack bullshit is definitely hacking, it's computer/script assisted aiming and it's bullshit.

Also regular hacking is stupid prevalent so I guess the above stuff doesn't matter as much now anyway.


PS if you say hacking isn't prevalent, post your KDR so we can tell you you're bad and that's why you don't see hackers because, trust me, it's the case.

Do you want to play with goons? Install discord somewhere, your phone, laptop, internet connected detachable penis, whatever; then ask to use in-game voice once a team forms.

Don't want to play with goons? Then I don't care.

crossplay was a mistake and Xim was cheating before crossplay happened, but it's not really relevant anymore

If you don't think xim/Cronus is cheating you probably don't fully understand how good they are at boosting aim assist past it's intended strength and eliminating recoil entirely. Nobody is using Them to play with kbm in controller lobbies.

They literally can't sell them fast enough, getting one involves a 3 month wait-list.

When I'm playing with my friends since we're all on different systems (PC/Xbox/PS4/5) we all just get a big party line chat on our phones. I ask my mom before hand though because if she's expecting a call from my grandma I'm not allowed to

It sure is fun playing on controller, then running into people who can do a 180 in a split second while turbo headshotting people along the way. I'm sure they are little angels, only playing on a controller themselves.

The only thing I hate about kb/m players as a controller player on PC is the drop shots. Everything else is kind of a wash because they each have advantages.

How is it any less easy with controllers when you have aim assist?
