Game good for making friends?

[Bonsai]

Title.
Easy to do or is it one of those games where people rage, barely talk and leave lobbies asap?
I'd like to play something online where I can make a bunch of buddies and grind together

The game fosters a pretty positive environment, usually.

People don’t always talk, but that’s because most of the communication can be done via pinging with the laser pointer, as well as with the “salute” key.

Heavily depends on the country, I think, since you'll be facing mostly local lobbies.

In general, I'd say making friends is a risky and ill-advised behaviour. ;)

I befriended several people on Steam solely so we can play DRG more often, and 99% of the time my experiences have been positive. It's one of the exceptionally few communities where respect and teamwork are not just lofty ideals but people generally adhere to them, and those few who behave like jerks get called out for it.

[Bonsai]

Oh, that all sounds very positive. Thank you for the replies guys

From a guy who stopped playing any online multiplayer game for years because I got tired of the, shall we say, "gamer culture":
DRG's in-game community is a breath of fresh air, even if people don't say anything most of the time.

I'm in the same boat. I abandoned online altogether, played mostly singleplayer and story games. But I miss the old times and sharing fun with friends.
I'm trying to find a new game that's a blast to play AND has potential for friendships.

I've been playing for about 280hours, all of those were solo. I never ''MET'' anyone and like, continue to play with them, but, every game u feel a sense of friendship, and never feel alone. Because of, as someone said, the salute emote, and in-game humor pinging at objects and stuff. Friendly enviroment

Anyone wanna help a newbie git gud and play together?

I've added a lot of people in my friendslist because of this game. The other game I've had the same is Valheim.

yeah but considering how adding friends on steam through this game isn't at all straightforward; you'll mostly be searching through thousands of similar named accounts to the point where its not worth it and you'll just be on your way after a match or two.

So yeah, you'll make some cool mutuals but don't expect anything long lasting once ya'll call it gg

I guess you've never clicked View->Players in Steam. It's a lot less work and less error-prone.

To answer OP: In my experience, no. I'm almost 700 hours in, and I've seen almost nothing but non-talkers and Driller trolls. I've played maybe 3 or 4 rounds where people where actually used text or voice chat to say more than "r".

Most of the randoms I played with have talked, or at least admited they speak neither English nor German. And that's fine. Just earlier today I taught OP a little though and we had fun.
