Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Depends on what game you're playing.

In CoD I can honestly attribute at least one in every ten deaths to be my team mates fault.

[–]RevGonzo19 2 points3 points ago

Absolutely. Especially during Domination.

[–]Firesilver 6 points7 points ago

You forgot "LAG".

[–]Blehgopie 23 points24 points ago

Lag is just a sub-category of fucking bullshit.

[–]chakane048 4 points5 points ago

How about teammate noob?

[–]Conquerer 8 points9 points ago

Relevant story:

A few weeks ago I was playing MW3 with some friends and a few random players. I'm casually walking around, minding my own business, when I see someone camping in a corner. I go prone and see a random teammate walk around the corner and look directly at the guy, so I assume I'm going to be fine. Instead, the guy pulls out a laptop to call in an airstrike, and the camper shoots both of us.

[–]PapauNewGuinea 2 points3 points ago

I usually attribute at least 5% to the other players being better. That's usually due to item or buff differences though.

[–]no_pants 3 points4 points ago

If developers would reduce some of the fucking bullshit, I'd buy more of their games.

[–]SweetInspired 3 points4 points ago

fuck, my colorblindness is kicking in like crazy. WHY OP WHYY

[–]prohoops 1 point2 points ago

I lose my mind in turn based RPG's when I die due to the computer getting multiple turns before I've taken one

[–]sup34dog 3 points4 points ago

this holds true for FIFA more than other games, though.

[–]teh_d0ct0r 1 point2 points ago

As a long suffering Starcraft player, this is completely accurate.

[–]OsoGringo 2 points3 points ago

No, I didn't lose because I left my wall down. I lost because ling-runby's are illegitimate dick-moves.

... I'm totally better than him.

[–]teh_d0ct0r 0 points1 point ago

My scouting isn't bad. He cancelled his hatch then baneling busted me. Zerg is just OP as hell. Terran is the true-skill race.

[–]SC2minuteman 0 points1 point ago

death ball op, roaches should be able to A- move into collisi sentry immortal stalker .. aka i suck

[–]nrxia 0 points1 point ago

I can confirm that this is true for the Soul Calibur series.

[–]sqazm 0 points1 point ago

Fucking just-frames.

[–]M1dzie 0 points1 point ago

Sums up Fifa12 for me

[–]Stomo 0 points1 point ago

Or at least that's what you say when you lose.

[–]4danno 0 points1 point ago

"Fucking bullshit man, I shot that guy 10 times in the head and he came up and knifed me!"

[–]Isterpuck 0 points1 point ago

Blue shells!

[–]holymojo96 0 points1 point ago

Something tells me you're a sore loser

[–]robothouserock 0 points1 point ago

From the thumbnail, i thought it was a Japanese flag. And then I thought, yes, Japanese people are the reason I lose any game too!

[–]caustic260 0 points1 point ago

Why do I lose the game?

because i think about it.

[–]SC2minuteman 0 points1 point ago

starcraft is the way around 99 percent of the time the opponent was actuallly better than you, the 1 is when the game disconnects

[–]XxnathanielxX 0 points1 point ago

You forgot a few , ehem lag , the way one was sitting , crappy gun , crappy game , glitch, bad character , bad team, bad class , ETC.

[–]DoTheRustle -1 points0 points ago

I find this to be true for casual games only. I can't count how many times Arkham city's retarded controls fucked my plan of attack. "You want to land on this balcony and sneak? How about the fence in plain sight instead?"

[–]andrewsmith1986 -5 points-4 points ago

"The game cheated"

[–]mulkeen -4 points-3 points ago

hahah yes!

[–]MonikerAddiction -5 points-4 points ago

i enjoy the fact that your life is replaced by any game ever

[–]RevGonzo19 -5 points-4 points ago

Hax.

[–]chunkypeanut 4 points5 points ago

But I can't score overhead kicks or beat the worlds best teams when I play soccer for real... Can't I just do both?

[–]teh_d0ct0r 1 point2 points ago

But what if I don't want to stop the soccer after it gets dark? Or in the winter? etc, etc.

[–]how_come 0 points1 point ago

What about people in wheelchairs?
