Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The point was that the weak point in multiplayer is the other people. Loved that particular game, but damn was that eye opening on how shitty humans can truly be.
I think that really depends on how the multiplay is setup. Ranked games breed the tryhards. I was just hyping up Halo 2 multiplayer, but the older model of just having an Open Server Browser was better for chill games. You could find a server with a group community that you vibed with and just chill there. You could get a reputation and people are less likely to fly off the handle at you.
I never found a group that I gelled with until GTAO. Man, that first month was just racing shenanigans.
