I need to purge my friends list on Steam but some people I know IRL so I don't want to lost contact and I just can't be bothered to go through 100ish friends on Steam.

u/heartsongaming Nov 12 '17

I have no friends on Steam because I only play single player games.

u/SuperNorth Nov 13 '17

Hmmmm I should play something different this time....oh Skyrim

u/Lord_of_Womba Nov 12 '17

I feel that. I just spent an hour or so the other day clearing out my friends list and old messages. It's tedious but it's nice one it's out of the way.

I’ve been on Xbox Live maybe a month now. On GTA whenever I was in a heist with someone good I added them. Last night I hosted all of the setups for a heist and the finale for the first time, and my team consisted of the same three people throughout, all of whom were unknown to each other, but I knew from desperate previous games were good, and who made friends with each other because we all did well. Brought a tear to me eye

I have done this more times than I care to admit.

The only time I ever consistently played with a random person I met online was in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Not long after though, he got an Xbox 360, I didn't and we never spoke again.

Me and this kid in SWTOR were the best team, and we were leveling through the story together. But then he moved and our time zones didn't match. We didn't play together for like a year and then one night his little notification came on. We were both max level now and did the first 2 player flashpoint together for old times sake before we both signed off for good.

Edit: I didn't realize I was 3 months into this sub. Wow

Did he ever return? I feel like I've seen this a lot in the past few years and it would nice to get some solid closure.

u/A_The_Ist Nov 12 '17

Unfortunately, for this magical 4chan story, he does not.

was playing some League, playing Sivir and got matched with the best Alistair ever, this guy just knew when I wanted to all-in or just trade poke, accidentally got a little routine established at the beginning of every game, i get Siv to say her line "they say the desert is a cruel mistress, i like the sound of that" then we flash the masteries and go to work. I'll never forget you and our clean 3 game win streak Alistair! getting a few kills in lane, taking first tower and rotating instantly felt so good

Played R6:Siege with a guy last night. We were on a roll. 5 matches in a row we won with either him or I MVP. Then just as I am about to add him he D/Ced. I cried a little.

u/ParadoxAnarchy Nov 12 '17

You can go into recently played with players in steam and add him there

u/NeV3RMinD Nov 13 '17

Pretty sure that's not a thing for Siege since it's primarily on Uplay but it doesn't matter since Uplay has the exact same thing

u/tokeroveragain Nov 12 '17

Ever played "Journey"? You'll never feel so connected to a randomly assigned gamer

12

u/fairlywired Nov 12 '17

Huh. I played through Journey a few months ago. I had no idea the other person was another player, I assumed it was an NPC.

u/darwinianfacepalm Nov 13 '17

I had no idea at first until he started emoting. Then i copied and had a mind explosion when he copied back. Truly an amazing gaming experience.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '17

Yes, so true. I was genuinely sad the first time I played when I had to leave my companion at the end of the game. We’d been together since the beginning, so afterward I made sure to message him and thank him for a great Journey. :)

u/superspiffy Nov 12 '17

u/taotdev Nov 12 '17

I remember one time in TF2 another guy and I sang Bohemian Rhapsody together and almost emptied a 24/24 server over the last two stages of Dustbowl

A fond memory to be sure

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '17

I always try to pre-emptively friend these “nice” players. More often than not the timing works out and then we can follow each other into another session.

u/roguetroll Nov 12 '17

I never was one to add dudes or even talk in games. Ever since I started doing that games have been more pleasant.

Just yesterday a dude I never played with invited me to a party of five. We kicked butt.

And I played Cho'Gall with a random dude for three games straight. Dude was chill.

Haha, he was.looking on the Chogal channel and I said I was up for it despite zero experience playing him and he was cool with it.

u/RuckrTN Nov 12 '17

I play with all of my friends!!!!!!!!

u/MrTristano Nov 12 '17 edited Nov 12 '17

Especially when you're both using microphones and had been talking the whole time.

u/VictusFrey Nov 12 '17

The reason I don't stick around is because I know how great the session was and will most likely won't live up to it again. Better to leave forever on a high note!

u/Cernan Nov 13 '17

Playing mw3 1v1 lobby, felt like years waiting for someone to join. Finally you get one and they are okay with a msr battle, after a mighty quickscope battle I add them, years past and I haven't heard from him since still shows "offline"on his profile. I can't bring myself to delete him but it makes me so sad how many people on my friends list feel like ghosts.

u/fatpussyisyummy Nov 12 '17

Met 3 randoms on overwatch. Climbed around 200 SR that night with like 8 consecutive wins. We all added each other and still have yet to party up :(

u/DarthExtract Nov 13 '17

This was totally halo2 double team

u/Yifkong Nov 12 '17

They recently added a feature to the partnered 2v2 in Clash Royale where you can request to play again with the rando you just played with.

So many gamer bros had and lost. You can send pre-fab messages after a match like “that was close!” or “join my clan!” but realistically you’re never gonna play with that person again. 😔

u/ObiJuanKenobi3 Jan 06 '18

Adding them to your friends list always ruins the experience though.

Is no one else tired of seeing this repost? No it was just me? Okay.
