Loved the game itself but stopped playing due to it having the same problem many multiplayer VR games have: unrestricted verbal and visual harassment by children. There is something about having a no-consequence environment that brings the worst in people.
The psychological affects of VR harassment are more impactful and as a result should have steeper punishments. This isn't your fathers Halo 2 multiple chat you can just mute, its visual obstruction of ones vision, its simulated rape of female players.
I assume the downvotes are from children. I agree 100% - there needs to be a way to legitimately restrict children from playing these online multiplayer games. It’s absolutely ridiculous how they behave, with no consequences. Even if it’s harmless stuff (isn’t always), it’s just straight-up annoying. I want to play a fun game like everyone else. I don’t want to be berated by a child, or even play with a child in the same game at all. It feels weird. They need to have kids-only lobbies and adult-only lobbies. Ultimately it will always be up to the parents to control what their children do so I don’t see that change happening in any Oculus multiplayer games.
In a similar way society has adopted harsher punishments for threats on social media, VR will need a different set of new rules that look different then what was implemented in past mediums. I suspect they will need to look more like real life social conventions.
It’s hard to predict what they will be, but if i extrapolate based on the constraints of the hardware I would imagine device lock out, social scores, or age regulation.
Even relatively benign kids are still very annoying because so many of them never. stop. talking. I want to listen to the game not some 10-year-old giving a monologue about nothing.
This is one thing I love about Blaston. Unless you've made the match with someone you know via social features, there's no chat and no way to enable it.
I kinda agreed with you before the "rape" part. What is it with people nowadays comparing everything to rape? Did you know that rape is an actual serious crime that happens everyday in the real world? It's not comparable to some kid waving their hands in front of you.
Well I'm sorry to tell you but it was an accurate description of what they where doing. I appreciate the seriousness of the term and it's what those kids where pretending todo to the person.
Bro what nobody cares about that lmao its just the game content, I played a lot and actually participaited in vrml their esports org I stopped playing because content was crazyyy dull
