Is it enjoyable with randoms as much as with friends?

[Fatal AR]

I've watched few streamers playing with their friends and the game seems fun, i wonder if the experience can be the same with randoms.
I'm aware of racists, hackers, and that kind of stuff so skip that part.
My friend and i are looking to play with randoms because none of our friends is willing to pay for a game were you ''work.'' and ''get stressed''

its kinda more stressing with strangers than it is with friends and i need more friends to play it with

I usually play with like two friends and rest of the lobby is randoms. If you are not shy, and try to engage in role-playing, you will have fun even with randoms. At least this is how it works for me.

What is more, if you had a nice role-play with someone, you can always add them on Steam and play with them later, getting yourself game buddies :)

It's hit or miss pretty much?

I have had a lot of fun games in this game in lobbies when everyone's really diving into the office rp aspect of it and having wacky scenarios between co-workers but also quite a few that were somewhat eh with people either try-harding and the manager immediately shooting their vote without any prior discussion or people repeatedly screaming the N-word and writing it alongside other racial / offensive stuff and plastering them all over the place.

This here's the right answer, just get into a role and see what happens. When you do it usually people will play along.

The game can be an absolute dumpster fire with strangers. And not even a good, entertaining dumpster fire that keeps you warm. If you like 12 year old boy humor who thinks freedom of speech means free pass to harass people sexually or racially, then randos are perfect.

This game would be so much more enjoyable if half the playerbase weren't just constantly screaming racial slurs. I wanna be able to communicate in a game entirely about communication and it's a bit hard to do so when right as soon as the game starts there's a guy or few just screaming the N-word and unless the host is smart enough to kick them, the game's kinda screwed, and even when you don't have people screaming it, you get people flooding the printer with the n-word or writing the n-word on sticky notes and placing them everywhere.

Joined a Lobby with 3 other Friends. Was super fun. We Smoked like 200 Ciggis in the Copy Room for 30 minutes and RP along that. On the other hand there were Lobbys filled with Soundboard users with sounds from an "austrian painter" that were used since it was a german lobby, and they printed Swastikas out. As the others said its a 50/50 either its fun or its cringe.
