Online gaming friends

All the games Ive played so far have never been online games. Thats because I get nervous about other people watching me play since I dont think I play that well and dont want people getting angry at me if Im not doing a good job on the team xD

But sometimes I think its really nice when people make friends playing online and they have fun together playing.

I wonder how people do that. Maybe its a weird think to wonder or be confused about, but Im not great at merting new people xD

Anyway, does anyone would like to help on this matter?

I see my boyfriend play fortnite with his online friends every day and it seems kinda fun so I installed it on my pc but I aways chicken out of trying ^^ the only other online game I have is SWTOR but I didnt managed to get interested for long playing by mysef.

Hey @RedAsphodel90

I myself am the kind of chick who does play online video games and yes fortnite is certainly one of those game lol. In light of what youve posted i wanted to reply and hopefully give you some encourgement to giving it a go.

Its normal to feel a little nervous about gaming online especially because you dont really know who you are playing with. Some of us that online game are more competitive than others and the rest are just playing for fun. I know personally while online video gaming i have met some awesome people all around the world and formed friendships with people i probably never would of thought i could have. Most of the people i have met are playing to have fun and most of the pro gamers run games in their own league the chance of you landing in a game with pro gamers is quiet slim.

So if your interested in giving it a go then you should, because it can be alot of fun and a great way to make some new friends:)

Hi @LittleMissJoy, it's very nice to meet another girl gamer :)

Yeah, after watching my bf play fortnite so much, I'm getting really curious to try so I think this weekend I'm gonna do it :) The game does matchmaking anyway right? And there's always new players, so I can be the only noob tehre xD

I love how people for friendships through online gaming. It's maybe weird that I'm so fascinated by it, but i would love to make new friends through gaming too xD

Yeah so true i feel the same way, its so good to meet other girl gamers as most of the time you play with guys. Fortnite is so good, you should really give it a go. Yeah the game does the match making although you can play single player mode to start off in but playing with a squad to is good because people in your squad can help you. And no im sure there are plenty who are beginners in fortnite so dont worry.

@LittleMissJoy I think I'll start with single player first, before I piss off my squad for not knowing how to play xD I started playing Bioshock since I wanted to for a while and also to practice my shooting and I have to say... My aim and shooting is so embarrasingly bad, me playing fortnite is going to be amusing to watch xD

@LittleMissJoy same here, I've been watching loads of youtube videos and my bf playing, and asking him loads of questions haha

Bioshock is amazing! I've finished Bioshock Infinite some years ago, which is a bit diferent from the initial Bioshock series. But I love dit so much that I wanted to try Bioshock 1 too. Bioshock is darker and a bit more scarier imo than Infinite. Infinite is a lot moe colorfull. But Both have beautiful locations, the concept art for these worlds is really amazing. And the story is awesome too. I aciddently already read a spoiler about Bioshock1 and already know the huge plot twist in the end ^^' I totally recomend both games! check it out on youtube to see if it's your type of thing :) do you like darker stuff or more fantasy?

@RedAsphodel90

Oh sounds like a cool game. I might just have to check that one out then.

I like pretty much all types of games. If i had to pick out of the two though i would say fantasy:)

@RedAsphodel90

Online games can be very good! You meet lovely people but I also have to say you'll meet alot of trolls and "toxic" people.

But pros and cons the pros win :)

Nowdays I have overwatch but haven't played for the same reason as you haha. Fornite I've heard alot about it but haven't played it.

But I wish you the best! I hope you have tons of fun! You'll only know if you'll like it if you try it :)

Hi @Booklover95 :) thank you!

Yeah it's the trolls that worry me, I know online you there are a lot of idiots and people that take the game way too seriously.

But I guess I just need to focus on the good things, like that there are nice people there too and there is the chance of making new friends :)

Online gaming can definitely be a harrowing adventure, especially on PC when you get the "PC Master Race" guys.

Don't be afraid to branch out and maybe try to get some people from a community to play with, either from 7 Cups or even try playing with your boyfriend!

Minecraft is a great multiplayer to start with. Stardew Valley is in public beta for its multiplayer
