It's all fun and games until something starts annoying you and all of a sudden you are a YouTube sensation
Boy: (Screaming) No!
(Inaudible)
(Banging)
Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 video games that ruin friendships
For this list, we're looking at video games that have multiplayer components that inspire stiff competition that often results in tension
Although entire genres have a tendency to do this
we're looking at specific games or their series
Ready?
Fight!
(Bones Cracking)
Number 10. FIFA series
decision
A long running franchise based on one of the most popular sports in the world
can only inspire friendly competition
Right?
Wrong!
Boy on video: What are you (censored) doing?
Are you a (censored) idiot?
tensions run ultra high as online series and offline multiplayer matches could push players to their limits
And the will to win quickly morphs into desperation
Boy in video: (bangs) No!
Before long sharp words are thrown and insults reign down
Don't believe us? Take a look at KSI's videos
Uniting players from around the world my ass
(Frustrated yelling)
Number 9. Super Smash Bros. series
Combining players from across Nintendo's canon of titles created a brilliant and diverse fighting game that was both accessible and fun
With accessibility though, a myriad of players find themselve flocking to this party game
And with the latest iterations having 8 players on the screen can get a bit hectic
just wait for that one unlucky cheap shot or that completely unfair item
grab and suddenly that friendly get-together you plan with your buds is
a rage filled disaster
Number 8. World of Warcraft.
Born and raised on the mysterious wandering isle
one of the most popular video games of all time
World of Warcraft is all about the grind and has no room for mercy
as players struggle to level up they can quickly turn on their online comrades not to
mention the trolls and there are many trolls because end game players rely on
large group rates to get gear a single incompetent player in your party
could spell disaster for a whole group of 25 to 40 people
(inaudable talking on mic)
LEROY JENKINS!
(more talking in mic)
Also as a side note. Given that the game is slightly less addictive than methamphetamines you can pretty much
flush your social life down the toilet so it ruins friendships of people that
don't even play the game. You don't believe us? Just check out these
withdrawal systems
(Yelling at computer) Stop freaking betraying me I'm on your team!
Number 7. Contra
like many games in the days of the NES co-op changed the way we played together as seen in
Contra
unfortunately it didn't go as planned. By adding another player on screen with you
meant that the two of you had to compete to kill more enemies to get more lives
and keep up with each other unless one of you get behind and get killed by default
Does giving up half of your control of the game mean giving up half of the fun? Well
we'll let you decide
Number six
Left 4 Dead series
designed to be played either online with a group of friends or randomly assigned
players or via local split-screen this game requires the same key to survival
that a real zombie apocalypse would: Cooperation. Failing that everything
falls apart.
If one member of the team isn't pulling their weight or can't keep up
it drags the whole team down
If you're playing Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead two
you gotta keep one thing in mind: never run off alone or your friends will hate you for it
(Players arguing on screen)
Number 5
Call of Duty series.
First person shooters are a hotbed for hot tempers
and short fuses and seen from such classics as Golden Eye 007 all the
way to the Halo series but nothing proved this better than Call of Duty
becoming one of the most popular shooters of all time through its
accessibility, Call of Duty is criticized by many people as said accessibility
translate to a lack of skill required to play
Camping, C4 throws, akimbo shotguns. You name it everybody's pissed at something in this game
(Inaudible Cursing)
Plus, the killstreak system means that whoever is doing better will make the match really one sided
Trust us. War is not necessarily meant to be played with your
friends
Number 4. The Worms Series
This turn-based combat game allowed players to take control of worms they
that use a variety of firearms and wacky weapons to attack their friends team
(Bangs)
The huge variety of weapons create a slew of opportunities to screw over your friends
but even worse is when the wind is not in your favor over multiple turns
literally
This can mean only one of two things: either the developers didn't know that such a simple game could create such hostility among friends or
they did and released it anyway. Either way they created a monster
(Yelling)
Number 3.
The Mario Kart series
It goes without saying the Mario Kart series is a big part of our childhood
being on the NES, the N64, or any other later iteration and because of that we
all know the hatred we felt for our friends who kicked our asses at it
everything is going so well until the use one of their stupid items and jumped
the track to get ahead
(Players complaining)
Hell have no fury. Like a player scorned by a blue
shell right before the finish line
Number two. Battletoads
As one of the original and most popular of the scroller beat em ups
this game proudly displays the same flights as often followed. At the time of release
the game was already brutally difficult and more often than not
players found themselves hitting each other instead of the enemy.
(Players complaining)
It's very frustrationg when you're struggling to
hold on to your health and your buddy walks up and smacks you right in the
face but things will get a boiling point when you realize that if one player hits
game over both of you have to start the stage again
(Players complaining about game over)
before we move on to our top pick here are a few honorable mentions
Number 1. Mario Party series
designed to mimic board games, this long-running series captures the same
rage felt by many hardcore monopoly players
We honestly can't remember how many times we spent so many turns to get the star
only for a competitor to steal it out from us with a Boo
Or worse yet. Have all of our coins taken by
browser and don't even get us started on those hell forged mini games
Mario Party not only allows you to screw over your friends
it promotes and facilitates it. This is the perfect game to play at parties if you
don't ever wanna see your guests again.
(Player yelling in frustration)
Player: Dammit!
Do you agree with our list?
Character in game: Yes sir!
