    Truly some of the dumbest motherfuckers. No shade to anyone who enjoys Destiny, but seems like looter shooters really attract the lowest common denominator of gamers.

      As somebody who enjoys a whole lot of dumb guy games, my experience is that looter shooters often attract edgelords and people who overly serious about themselves and the video games they play. It’s a pain in the ass demographic, but I think there’s still a worse contingent in Old School Runescape. IMO, it’s without question the most forwardly nazi/neckbeard audience of any mainstream game. I mean like “if you go to any popular training spot and play for an hour, you’ll see at least one conversation about whether women are getting too uppity or if (((they))) are human” level awful. They have a yearly pride parade in-game run by the devs and every year and the hate was so bad they have to explicitly say in the newspost for it that crashing it will get you banned, no warnings.

      “killingjoke96” lmfao

      I thought that line was pretty good when I heard it in Cyberpunk, but I underestimated how unbelievably dense gamers are. These people really played through that entire game and went away thinking “this is just like pronouns”.
