Damn I feel old.
I remember when Duke Nukem Forever's development cycle began, so yeah I'm right there with you.
Still a fun game! And, you really have to be as old as we are to see how gaming has changed to pander to the woke.
I was so confused my son doesn't use a mic to play. He uses his phone on an entirely different platform so no one he doesn't authorize can hear him just so he can shit talk without someone reporting them. Being told that blew my mind.
When I play with my cousin who I'd guess is your son's age he never wants to use mic either. Perfectly fine with me and way better without an annoying headset. I never liked voice chat anyway. Probably because I'm really not any good, but I spent my time on other things most of my life and it's hard to make up for having 5% of the hours played in a competitive game. Who wants to hear some idiots bad music, obnoxious voice, and ridiculously loud background noise anyway.
That's what said way up there. Both times I was pregnant, I could spend every hour in the day playing all the games. It's not a sex thing, it's a time thing. Just like everything, the more you put time into it, the better you get.
My son said that private lobbies only helped get rid of the whinners reporting until the update that made the enemy team able to hear you. ( proximity chat). NOW son uses his phone to talk to the team while they're playing. No-one not his friend can hear him. The other team hears nothing when playing against my son and his friends. Very rarely will they allow anyone on their team that isn't in their call.
Gaming ruined gaming.
Like Discord?
Discord is so backdoored you shouldn't be using it.
