Multiplayer on games that no one is playing.

[EzraPound]

Motorstorm Pacific Rift. Last week it took me a while to find a match and when I did it was against the same 6 people for some time. Also this past week couldn't find a decent game with GTA. I thought GTA was always populated.

I know--it bites. You'd think more people would be playing this (great) game.

When I play Soul Calibur IV on PS3, I can only really find games by searching for rank quickmatches, and even then they'll often be stints where I won't find any, or I'll be matched with the same person several times in the space of an hour. This is the most recent Soul Calibur!

Command & Conquer: Renegade ... multiplayer in that game was awesome when it still had a pretty active playerbase

Oh man, it totally was. I was going to post this as well. We played the ever loving shit out of it at a LAN shop I used to work at. It was so awesome.

Amen brother, a- freakin' -men.

What role did you prefer to play? I was an engineer myself (and still am in TF2) and whenever possible I rocked the Hotwire special engineer for extra bombs. I was a goddamn ninja in that game. I don't think everyone there knew you could go 3rd person so sneaking around in third person was basically cheating against a team full of fps players. I would always sneak in behind the ore harvester.

I think everyone just abandoned Team Fortress 2 - can't find a single sole online...

What in the hell are you talking about? I've got 803 servers with people in them on my server list.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2.

I tried it when it first came out. The people who got up to 9999 points on the leaderboards must've done it and then quite a week or so before I got there. There is NO ONE.

The one guy I found after days of searching I had to add to my friend's list just so I knew somebody. But haven't played with him since.

Presumably you're referring to a console version of that game. Either that, or you have a problem with your PC.

umm are you playing on the PC or consle?

Are you playing on the Console? Get the PC version!

Or, if you are on PC, try setting all of your server filters to their default options.

You gotta be trollin.

What in the hell are you talking about? I've got 803 servers with people in them on my server list.

Spoiler

It's like the most populated game I know! XD Though I guess that isn't saying much since I only really play TF2 and L4D2 online...
And yes, PC version for me.

Oh you just flooded me with nostalgia, when Renegade first came out the multiplayer wasn't too dry but its died pretty soon.

I was an Engineer bro too, always healing people's expensive vehicles and keeping the assault team alive while planting some sneaky explosives... good times

 

[IamQ]

Well, Uncharted 2's multiplayer was never that big. But I've always gotten matches done.



Also:

What?

 

[Appleshampoo]

We have a perfect dark Night every wednesday, 4 of us at least normally make it online. Very very rare we get anyone else in our games.....

I never managed to find a game on that. What time (and zone) do you usually play? I may hop in one day!

 

[DustyDrB]

Last few time I've tried to play assassins creed brotherhood on XBL i haven't been able to find a game which sucks. Anyone still playing?

I haven't played since December, but it's still popular. It's number 6 and number 1 on the top games for the 360 and PS3 here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/top_games].

 

[DragonBorn96]

Supreme Commander for the 360, in my time of having it, I've never had a game on it, EVER.

Same, but I would have put that down to the game not having the most friendly interface for console, I think the first game was made for PC gamers through and through not for us mere mortal Console owners

From what I heard online games could also take ages for SupCom, and well FPS - 15 mins a game and online Console RTS - 1 -2 hours with most of that building an economy and expanding? I would think a lot of people wouldn't have the patience.

I think the longest I've ever gone is with a Supreme AI and that took 2 hours of wave after wave of units from me and the AI, It ended with me sending 5 Universal Collosi against him because nothing else could get through at all. Strangely he had a nuke silo, but he nver used it

Shadowrun which is awesome because it is cross platform for pc and xbox on same games and even with two sources of players there are very few to be found.

well hell you can ALWAYS find a game if you really look for it

yeah that's true, it isn't completely dead it is just slim pickings

 

[SamStar42]

L4D2, tragically.

Very few people on console

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

There's no more depressing sight than seeing lists of empty servers in games you used to play religiously. Quake 2, Warsow... not quite dead but definitely nowhere near as active as they were.

I also used to play TF2 on the Xbox on a nearly daily basis. Of course I've been playing the PC version for months now. But I still hold the Xbox version of the game in high regard, for multiple reasons.

Also:

What?

Yeah, sometimes I have to refresh that thing a few times before I get something I can type (or read). Like if something has an "a" with that accent over it or the "o" with two dots? Not gonna happen.

Yes it will.

Where there is a nonsense word in captcha, ie. a word in a different font, impossible, mathematic or foreign symbols, or anything that doesn't look like a normal captcha word... you can type anything in that word's place and it'll work. Assuming you typed in the 'proper' word correctly.

For example, I would've typed "bumbums niecr" and I'm very confident it would have worked.

The more you know.
