Play Games With Others. It Will Change Your Life.

[@deefactual]

📣 Come join us on our DISCORD! discord.gg/fqrM2Az28B Alright let's talk more about this - what is the best way to play games with strangers, or what advice would you give for gaming with strangers?

[@eirav4777]

to be open for immersion and roleplaying with another person in a game and to not be afraid of being judged for it all the time - imo ;)

[@MALEVOLANT2099]

​​@@eirav4777dang I was gonna say that 😂 but I agree

[@not7658]

Idk the hardest one for me personally ion like people them selfs so much so

[@mythiontactial]

Be patient, some people will never be able to play at your level and some might be better. But patience is key and the experiences either good or bad, far outweigh doing it perfectly every single time.

[@Dragonwolven]

My advice would be to recognize that people are going to have different opinions and ideas, and it's important to learn to be okay with that and treat each other civilly. That applies both to gaming with others and making friends. I have a friend who utilizes a different method of navigating than I do and I didn't realize it until one day it led to a major breakdown in communication that took us way too long to figure out. And while we use similar tactics, our overall strategies for approaching situations are sometimes vastly different. So sometimes I let him lead, and other times I take lead. And it's the same with my other friends, we have different approaches to situations and we take turns taking the lead. Also, just want to note that I love your content. I love the quality of it and the good communication you utilize. Keep up the good work!

[@alexadams2734]

one of the best random player team work moments I've ever had was in assassins creed unity, me and him both had no mic and were trying complete one of the highest level assassination missions with almost starter gear. We had 4 targets all in one massive mansion filled with enemy's we couldn't take on, so we were forced to stick together and utilized coordinated double assassinations. After the fourth attempt it got to a point where we would just rush in and clean half the mansion before we were caught, it really felt like we were reading each others minds.

[@deefactual]

DUDE I loved this story - just saw it pop up on my notifs and man.. that was (IS) such an incredible game, I missed out on the multiplayer aspect of it, I think they had something incredible with MP in the AC games, and making that CO-OP angle was actualy just so smart.

[@NotAMartian-1]

@@deefactual guns disappearing, falling through the map, enemies stuck in walls so you can’t damage them but they can damage you. This game is right full of bugs and glitches. Wildlands though, none of what I just mentioned has ever happened to me in wildlands, not in my main save, my tier save, my ghost mode save or my second ghost mode that’s also in tier mode. Been playing breakpoint for 2 days and I’ve already experienced enough bugs to make me want to go back to wildlands.

The best thing I did was learn how to play with my fiancee. I had often forgot that not everyone has spent years playing tactical type games and she was willing to try. I was hard on her at first, which I'm ashamed of (nothing sinister or nasty), I let her get comfortable, encouraged her and I couldn't ask for a better co-op buddy. Cheesy, I know, but it's genuine and it's made gaming so much more enjoyable... until I play MMOs and I hear skill spamming on her keyboard! - But don't tell her that, she's happy and I'm happy too.

(we are slowing down from cod to other games) In Diablo 4 season 2 is the thing of the fun We played breakpoint and we have to come back to it soon. Oh and we play some Tarkov too but that is bit stressfull so we dont focus on that Good im not alone in GF made gamer fiancee Stay good both of you and don't be harsh anymore i made same mistakes as you did :_(

My gaming buddy of almost 9 years currently started as just a friend of a friend. We met in CS:GO while playing in a big lobby doing custom games. Everyone but us two got off and we could've also parted ways there, but something kept us in that lobby and we played all night. While we haven't played CS in years, we're still each other's first choice for anything multiplayer/co-op.

Love it!!!! And regarding your question. The best way to avoid toxicity or bad experiences in online games is to be in a great mood and bring positive energy to the table. It’s not something that you get to do always, but try to stay positive as often as possible. And when those around you are ruining the vibes there is always a mute/kick button. Use it!

[@deefactual]

Thank you, and well said! Couldn't have put it better! 🤝

[@Eellie87]

The early xbox online days, especially on xbox 360. You had no party chat, no party within games. If you play a game online, by definition you play and speak to other people. To be honest, I miss it soo much. Talking to people from so many different countries. There's a certain kind of trust needed, which is wuit forfulling. I get this feeling back every now and then when playing games like Sea of Thieves.

[@helloruan]

At some point it changed for me. I went from as a teenager talking to and befriending anyone I came across in a video game to now as an adult actively avoiding contact in games and only playing with people I know irl. I can't really say where it happened, I used to be so outgoing online and back then I valued my relationships online more than the ones I had in real life. It might be that as I met people in the real world I didn't really need that interaction virtually so I kind of stopped seeking it.

[@deefactual]

Really touched you enjoyed the video Chap, I've gone through that as well, and it still makes me a bit sad, but I'm trying to see the bright side of finding new people to play with, and while it's a slow process, I highly recommend trying it, esp in games like DayZ, Squad, Hell Let Loose, there's plenty that can offer good moments, and plenty that make it harder. Just gotta keep the glass half full, appreciate the super thanks too ❤️!

[@HarryPoggers44]

Hey dude, this is an excellent piece on learning to interact with others and the importance of forging new friendships. As someone with extreme anxiety this has always been the hardest thing for me to do. Sometimes turning on the mic and trying to engage with other people will completely stress me out to the point where I am not focused on the game and having fun, but I’m focusing on what do I say, how to act, what others think etc. it’s a curse I wish I could break. I know I can, but it seems like an impossible task sometimes…great vid, and I’ll keep working on trying to meet new people and play with strangers.

[@johnfkennedy1019]

Me and my best friend / soulmate have been gaming all childhood, we are a smooth machine. In games almost one person with 4 arms legs and 2 brains. One big factor why I still game in my mid twenties is because of him and some close other friends being this tight nit team. The more you play with people the more intune it all becomes. I can look at enemies, and watch them get killed before even pulling the trigger because they had the exact same thought "thats a high priority target, he has to go" Ill see a group of enemies and think "that needs a grenade" and just by that I see a grenade fly over my head tossed by my mates that had the same thought. Splintercell group executions will happen without it being discussed. Its pure bliss. I now many people would love this and it truly makes gaming for me. But really you can have that with anyone. Ive made many unique experiences wih thousands of people online. Just be friendly and cover their 6. With time you will become 1 unstoppable force of weirdos. It will be a lot of fun. Just dont expect it to last. Or go further. Let it develop naturally. In war we all are a family. I dont need to know you to save your ass. I will come and get you out of hell because im roleplaying medics in hell let loose, god dammit! And just like in war you might fly off with another chopper, log off and be gone forever, but its about the experience and the cherishable memories.

[@johnfkennedy1019]

The best is when you dont communicate tactics because the machine is so well oiled everyone just does what is needed to cover each gap and talking is mostly about everything else, or silence depending on the setting ofc. So for example in breakpoint, someone has oversight on a camp, you check your map crouched near a tree, your drone friend scans the entire base from the sky, then moves on your left as perimeter oversight, you start inflitration, your 6 is covered by your cs go sniper friend prone 200m to your 3 position with a 50 cal in the bushes, callouts come if something exceeds each persons ability, if its stealth, the drone guy might call out approaching helicopters, he wouldnt mention it in loud and you wouldnt need to worry because hes already shouting them down. The tank in base wont be an issue either because when you acquired the high value asset and shit hit the fan the drone guy already prepped the vehicles with c4 and is clossing in as support with a shotgun, and the sniper uses you two as bait to shoot incoming enemies in the back. To extract your drone guy nukes the base, you drive hostage in the back and the sniper jumps in the trunk. Time to head back to the biovac...

Two of the best online communities lately for me, where you meet with general kindlyness and everyone welcomes you warmly, even as a new player - BattleBit Remastered and Foxhole.

[@jesusfilosofo6385]

This title is just what ive experienced with Journey back on ps3 era, such an incredible experience to meet some random without speaking a word and going on a "journey" together, the music, ambiance, graphics, were all too advanced for its era in its way of giving the feeling of strandiness and loneliness and joy at the same time that no other game made me experience before, even if by yourself, that game still gives me that feeling of inner peace, and playing together with an stranger is a totally different experience from being alone, so give it a try to it and Sky.

[@aibluefox4309]

Great advice, Deef. Games come to life when more of the characters are real people. It can be daunting when you take that plunge to play with others, but you're in control so you dont need to worry. Also Ghost Recon is the BEST onlne community. You will get help, support, advice and make friends. I play with some people I've played with for 20 years and others I've known a week. Anyone who enjoys Ghost Recon won't regret playing with others who enjoy it. Yeah, you might meet some idiots, but ignore them - it's like life, you'll meet those you gel with if you let yourself find them.

[@JTF-2]

The unspoken language during battle leads to great friendships.

[@Catlateral]

I think one of the best examples of working with strangers come in a few games to mind. 1. ECO, the game basically simulates a society, each person picks a specific role at the start of the game which they keep right up until the end and everything has a purpose for something, chef, farmer, hunter, butcher, stonemason, metal worker etc. Each rely on each other to get their retrospective jobs done and the players create their own economy and you're a part of it. 2. Foxhole, is an isometric war simulation and is incredibly cool, its hard to get into and you will die a lot but the players you meet are cool, you could be part of a 5 man group who set out on their own mission to sabotage the logistics trucks coming from the enemy (also run by players btw) or you can follow 100 players into an all out frontal war that lasts 40 hours straight, its insane.

I have a hard time trying to find other people that I vibe well with to play games with.

[@juanchopingo]

I remember the first time i played journey, i got a player who was with me all the run, always together, helping each other. The mountain part was one of the most beautiful moments in gaming i experienced in all of my life. We were always holding hands, fighting with the wind, if one was getting behind, the other waited. I miss you random person, you gave me one of the most special moments in my life, i never felt so connected before. ❤

Journey was a place for special connections, severely underrated by the majority of gamers, but those who know.. know.

[@aydencleveland830]

My favorite multiplayer experience I’ve had recently was while playing Ghost Recon:Wildlands were our entire team was incredibly well coordinated (we hadn’t met before this game session) and we cleared out several missions with pure perfections. Everyone brought their own knowledge and experiences. My favorite moment was when we were doing a mission where we had to destroy a conveyer line. Two of us went in while the others provided a quick escape and Overwatch. Eventually the team that went in destroyed one conveyer line with a grenade launcher from the roof-top of another building while the second person dropped a grenade through a sky light. The explosives went boom and so did the conveyors. By the time the enemies could fire back we’d already left the scene. Felt like a movie.

You're videos always impresses me, you're videos are different from others, you're videos are like movies. The videos always keep my attention, and my adhd loves it so i watched alot of your videos now, keep going never give up you will become a huge youtuber one day. 😊

[@gakamech]

The back and forth is so fun, it's the first video from your channel I see and I'm definitely going to check out more

[@Ozmourne]

Whole heartedly agree with you. I met a random Australian guy whilst playing Splintercell: Blacklist co-op We became great friends & 100% the game with ghost grade, not killing anyone & not getting detected. Was such a fun & memorable playthrough. Had a similar experience with some randoms in Ghost Recon: Wildlands

[@deefactual]

Aw yes I love this! Honestly that sounds legit amazing. I'm glad you've found people to enjoy the time gaming with more than once, will give others hope - it's not all doom & gloom out there!

[@MertErcan95]

I met with this guy playing Siege about 6 years ago, and he was just the guy to play siege with at first. Then, as time passed, we started playing other games and learning more about each other's personal lives. Years passed and I think during and after 3rd year of our friendship we kind of stopped gaming, but the friendship is still here. We got to meet in person last summer in Berlin and Warsaw, spending a quality time together. I can easily say he has been one of the most influential figures in my life, and will continue to be so for a life time.

I have some friends who refuse to play with anyone who isn't in our little group. I get it, some of them have had bad experiences and don't want to deal with the toxicity. One doesn't want to deal with it if the people on the other end found out she's a girl. There are so many things that are just so much easier and often more fun with other people. I've personally met some cool people; granted, I haven't met anyone that I felt like I clicked with beyond whatever we happened to be doing. I've also played with some seriously toxic people that I just ignore once they get that way, and I block them at the earliest opportunity.

I think i needed this, thinking back i used to be very good at reaching out and trying to get people i meet online to play something with. I think i got too comfortable with my circle of friends. Me and my friends dont always play the same thing, but because of that there feels like there is a lingering loneliness sometimes. I have tried to reach to random ppls i would meet on online games, and i would run away, i think the fear of rejection started getting into my head and i stopped trying to meet other gamers online. I just stayed with my circle of friends. I have it in my head, always telling myself, do this, play this, interact with other new ppls, but fear always keeps me from doing it. I guess i fear that i might not be accepted, like how my current friends accepts me. I used to be completely fine playing games on my own online, now it just feels so different. I can go on, but ill stop here. thank you, this did help spark something in me, the thought of playing something and interacting with someone new is always in my head, but i guess the fear of rejection kinda keeps me away from trying. ill try a bit harder once again. Thank you.

I'm a simple man, I see a new DEEF video, I watch, I like.

Great video. The radio effects made it feel more like a movie trying to show the conversations in between the action between soldiers during war. Really cinematic, loved every second of it.

[@gerald3389]

Don’t believe what they show you in the movies.

[@Prototype1207]

Watching you guys play this game in contrast to what critics say about it solidifies the concept that a game is what you make it. And you guys make it look really cool and fun.

[@henryha835]

Playing with other people is one of my favorite things to do it’s why I love mmos like warframe just wish more games had accessible voice chat

[@GhostIslandThunder]

Oxide what did you do to poor Billy!! Amazing video bro! ❤

[@deefactual]

Wish I knew what he named the "wrestling" move honestly...

[@ThaCosmonaut]

I think my best experience was definitely Tsushima Legends when the Raids came out. Since we were forced to matchmake to play and the game had many puzzles that required talking to the whole team, The amount of people I got to meet during that time and friends I made was amazing, I ended up becoming close to KZbin channel dedicated to it at the time, helped a discord community setting up games, joining to help strangers beat their raids for the first time, trying to find the best ways to solve the raid and doing videos with this guy to try and help everyone. It was awesome. Oh and I met my girlfriend of 3 years because of it too, joined to help a guy on a random raid, and there she was, got along and now here we are. still talk to a few of these people, some are getting kids and married, and all of that because of one game in common. Quite something. Honor died at the beach, but love and friends grew from it xD

[@deefactual]

I love this so much, so many great reasons to play with others ❤️

[@ErsahMajor]

Every time i've tried to group with a team it's been a horrible experience... finding good players (who actually want to play) is a b$%ch! (miss playing with my OG team mates...SO much like you and Oxide) Keep up the excellent work, guys!

[@T_512]

Want to team up?

[@im_wraith_]

the story telling here, the editing, its everything. Reminds me of some of the first ever videogame KZbin channels i watched, FrankieonPCin1080p comes to mind. Thanks for this video, i needed it.

[@H4VOCG4MING]

Amazing work as usual buddy, the Intro just blowes everything away. Keep it up 💪

[@deefactual]

Appreciate you mate, you've supported me from the getgo, thank you bruv!

[@IshiTehFishi]

This gives me all of the FrankieonPCin1080p vibes, but so much more. You have filled a void I've been missing, I didn't play DayZ when I found frankie, and I don't play Ghost Recon, but keep it up! I'm here for the ride!

[@deefactual]

I used to go to the start of Frankie's entire playlist back catalogue and begin from the start again once I had completed watching all his videos. Was and am still a big fan, he definitely has inspired the storytellers out there, including myself. Thanks for the support ❤️☺️ looking forward to more, and who knows.. maybe some DayZ! I love that game still 😅

[@kennypowers1945]

Bruh I ONLY play with strangers ha ha. I never play with anyone I know cause I don’t like talking much

[@REALGINGE88]

Just recently made a friend on dayz and I don't normally speak to people so I'm very proud of myself and I now play breakpoint with him everyday and I thank him a lot for being so understanding

[@STARFPSYT]

Hey my brothers, as always, high quality content and please bring more gameplays like this, forming a Squad with the people who play Breakpoint and have a KZbin channel. I think the edition would be really cool. GOD bless brothers, I'm a fan of your content and I hope one day that my videos have this impeccable quality. 🥰

[@deefactual]

Thank you for the kind words and support mate! 👊

[@TheGreyScythe]

I enjoyed this bit. It's the reason I got the game for myself and I rather enjoyed it so far. However, that's not what I'm trying to tell here. I like the message. While strangers are always hard to get used to, interacting with them certainly emphasizes something that should be valued highly in our society. We need to try new things out, even if they're scary, unpleasant or disappointing. It's how we grow. By actively challenging yourself to try out meeting new people or doing new things, we will encounter situations which aren't to our liking. But if we go beyond that, if we keep looking, after we were confronted with these unpleasantries, we can experience moments that make these disappointing interactions worthwhile. May it be a new friend, a new hobby, or something else entirely. I think this video did it's job well conveying these values and I wanted to mention that. Chapeau

[@FluxNoise]

Do you actually play with that voice filter in-game? And if so, how do you do it? Sounds great.

[@ShaBlaWo]

So well put together, I’m not very into milsim much but this had my attention the whole way with your mix of banter and concentration on the game. Can’t say I’d watch this type of video everyday but I’m definitely subscribing for more

[@hiidenkiuas]

if i play games with strangers there's about a 70% chance they call me a slur so no thanks

[@dibyajyotimehera]

After watching your videos, I couldn't help but subscribe. I am new to content creation and I find your storytelling and cinematics inspiring. Keep going. Much love❤

Welcome aboard! Appreciate the kind words 💪😊

[@spacer_07]

When I was younger I didn't have many mates that played games. When the heist update for GTA came out I wanted to play but you would need an extra player for Fleeca, the first heist. I queued for a random and met a british bloke who showed me the grind for the first time. Gaming has never been the same since, in a very good way.

How tf do u not have millions of subscribers THIS IS QUALITY hope u get there

I’ve always loved the response “Copy”. It is supposed to indicate that the person has heard AND understood your message, but in reality it only affirms that the person heard you speak.
