I had Monaco 2 on my watchlist. Now it’s on sale and it reminded me that I never really joined a multiplayer game in the first one. Because I’m afraid that being a noob I will ruin the game for everyone. Same with Due Process. Of course that is a vicious cycle where I keep being noob but don’t join a game out of fear of doing a noob thing. Not noticing something important, not timing something right, etc
Multiplayer in itself is not a problem, I have been playing other multiplayer titles. Both as a noob and a veteran. But the heist theme feels daunting
In a way I feel Payday was kind of easier in that regard because it was geared towards that “oops, I guess we are shooting now”
Has anyone had similar feeling? I probably should “just do it"
I feel like on the first game I should warn the lobby that I’m a noob, at which point I expect half of them to leave :D
Kinda. Whenever I play a multiplayer game that has a single player component I always finish the single player component first. It allows me to get a feel for the games engine, the general mechanics, and to practice in an environment where the only person I’m inconveniencing is myself.
I do that too but I still feel unprepared for the real thing
Then I guess my only other advice is to come to grips is you’re never fully prepared for your first time. With anything at all. And it’s not just you. It’s that way for everyone.
For some weird reason with RL it’s easier than with co-op heist games :D
I’m no psychologist by any means, but I’d say it’s because in reality you have to do those things. You have to do your first job interview, you have to apply for assistance, etc. And whether or not you like those things is largely irrelevant, they have to be done.
In video games you choose to do those things. And you’re largely responsible for if you enjoy them or not. And no one wants to waste time doing something they end up not enjoying.
Hm. Interesting insight, there might be something to it
Could be. Also equally possible I’m completely talking outta my ass.
Yup, this is why I never ever play multiplayer in video games. Also most of my board game play is solo too.
