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.

"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.

Mario Party's worse.
And beneath that is Dokapon Kingdom, but that's a bit more obscure.

[–]Sleep_For_Dummies 5 points6 points ago

I'm not allowed to play Dokapon Kingdom anymore...I threw a first class hissy fit when my "friend" attacked me, killed me, and stole my weapon (pretty much negating everything that I had been working for the past 90 minutes).

I begged. I pleaded. I promised future leniency! To no avail...

[–]Off-White-Knight 4 points5 points ago

I had a friend that would constantly put himself in last just so he could go Darkling. Screw him.

[–]finkerbell 2 points3 points ago

Mario Party would turn downright violent whenever someone stole a star. The original also killed your hands with the control stick spinning. Good times were had, though.

[–]Grig134 0 points1 point ago

Mario Party is worse because people randomly lose, gain, donate stars to other people for no reason. Nothing like being up 4 stars against second place and losing because it randomly donated two of them to second place and then gave him another elsewhere.

In Melee we never had this problem because there's always that one guy who's 10x better at melee than anyone else.

[–]Scandiacus 10 points11 points ago

Stop spamming thunder Pikachu...

...Damnit, I said stop spamming that shit, loser.

FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE, YOU'RE SO CHEAP.

[–]maxwellrockies[S] 2 points3 points ago

we permanently banned our friend from using Pikachu.

[–]Defunto 4 points5 points ago

How do you expect to better yourselves if you can't kill a pikachu?

[–]Sh3fy 2 points3 points ago

and that is why I chose Pichu..

[–]SkankinPacman 6 points7 points ago

Pichu with the goggles was the best.

[–]Sh3fy 0 points1 point ago

Damn right it was the best especially winning with him

[–]Sir_Ronald_McDonald 4 points5 points ago

Mario kart too. Never seemed to get the timely thunder strikes that everyone else did.

[–]Defunto 0 points1 point ago

Probably because you were winning.

[–]smolro 0 points1 point ago

we play mario kart at least once a week, and every time we end up hitting each other, yelling, and just generally being sad or upset. it's great

[–]ForestHump 4 points5 points ago

Now Playstation will have one to ruin even more friendships. yay!

[–]caseofthematts -1 points0 points ago

That game will ruin more than just friendships.

[–]Milkshakes00 5 points6 points ago

I loved this damn game to death.

Went to so many tournaments. :) I miss wavedashing and downcanceling.. Falco main here. :D

[–]Sepheriel 0 points1 point ago

I kinda hated how the game went competitive, pretty much ruined the fun of the game. Whenever I play with my friends now, it starts fun but it gets way too competitive to continue to be fun.

[–]HeyItsDJ 3 points4 points ago

You guys must hold hands when you play.

[–]Sepheriel 0 points1 point ago

Wat?

[–]Milkshakes00 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if referencing original super smash commercial or not..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K783SDTBKmg

[–]The11th -1 points0 points ago

LOL. You are a funny guy man. Thanks for the laughs!

[–]epilepticrave 3 points4 points ago

I think Missouri state law includes a provision justifying homicide if the victim is responsible for more than 5 "Show Me Your Moves" in one match.

[–]Ninjastar1234 0 points1 point ago

Brawl was worse. YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

[–]beyondxhorizons 2 points3 points ago

The only time one of my friends was ever physically violent towards me was a result of this game. Often.

[–]SwarIs 2 points3 points ago

Have you played the Board game RISK? Thats what really ruins friendships and starts fights.

[–]Mokky 1 point2 points ago

It's true. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzLtF_PxbYw

[–]xRound_Aboutx 2 points3 points ago

I disowned my brother twice

[–]Lineov 0 points1 point ago

I got this game for my little brother and sister knowing that one of two things would happen.

A. They'd kill each other

B. They'd learn to work together.

[–]FlakFalcon 2 points3 points ago

Fucking Jigglypuff... That is all.

[–]Ninjastar1234 0 points1 point ago

That would be me. ROLLOUT MOTHERFUCKERS!

[–]allotheabove 2 points3 points ago

Smash Bros does not ruin friendships. It strengthens them

[–]carl1289 1 point2 points ago

that was the only game i owned on my game cube for 4 years all my friends wouldn't play with me cause i would woop their asses

[–]failspy 1 point2 points ago

I always thought people exaggerated about this until one night some friends and I played it for a good while. A few hours pass and we're all tossing curses and telling each other to fuck off.

[–]drewhoff 1 point2 points ago

I still play this game quite often. I had the game timer pop up and said that I clocked 2 months of play time but that was on my new memory card. I had an old one that I used to play a lot more on until I lost it. I think all told I have close to 6 months of game play dedicated to Melee.

[–]Smalltalk91 1 point2 points ago

My friends and I still play this game all the time...The game that is banned from my apartment is Mario Party. The phrase "steal another star and I will end you" was screamed by my friend...Then, when another star was stolen, a hole was put in one of my doors...

[–]FeatherNET 1 point2 points ago

I beg to differ

[–]Dimestoresaint 1 point2 points ago

Mario party was worse

[–]MajinV232 1 point2 points ago

I had this problem in Brawl when people wanted to turn on items (Smash Balls, especially). Four simple words: "Now I'll show you!!"

[–]pvtmichaeljcaboose 1 point2 points ago

Man, it didn't matter whether you were sober or not. SHIT GOT REAL when you played Super Smash Bros for the N64.

[–]Namdar 0 points1 point ago

This created my friendships.
