How to have fun 101

[RocketPillow]

Since 99% of this forum is filled with complaints, I'm curious whether or not anyone here genuinely enjoys this game. If you do enjoy it, explain how.

What keeps you coming back?
What makes you wait through spectator?
And what keeps you from boiling frustration?

I love playing as SCP. This is the only reason I play this game.

[Otávio,o avestruz radical]

I played 106 today and found a little low health NTF cowering in fear in the corner of 939's room. He said "Wait, don--" as I clicked him and he died on the spot, not even being sent to the PD.

That's it.

That's the only thing that kept me playing for nearly 2k hours.

I think 106 kills are funny.

A while ago now, I got very frustrated with every death. I'd tryhard, not kill scientists/class-d as the opposite because I'm too kind but get pi$sy when they kill me, obliterate anyone I saw as SCP without a second thought... and the game began to get more annoying than fun. I wasn't having fun, so I stopped playing.

About a month later, I came back, and my entire attitude had changed for some reason. The first day alone I laughed at nearly everything. Every near-death experience, every funny line from another player, even every stupid death would make me giggle. I still laugh a lot, but not as much as that first day.

I just... don't take the game seriously, I suppose. I'll intentionally run into an area with hostiles while saying "It'll be fineeeeeee". I avoid 914 like the plague and instead focus on grabbing whatever I can elsewhere and getting out that way. If somebody wants to do a stupid skit like running a shop/checkpoint, or creating a cult, I'll join in. I'll commit to the bit even if it gets me killed. If there's nothing else going on I'll try to escape/actually do my job, but otherwise I just do what seems fun at that moment. Laughing at everything feels much better than getting angry at everything, I guess.

Oh, and as for spectator, I browse Reddit on my phone. Very easy for me to get sucked into it and time passes like a snap lol

So judging by everyone's response, there are three kinds of people in this game:

THE SADIST

somebody who plays this game solely to be an SCP for the power fantasy, whether it's funny or because they just derive pleasure from video game suffering.

They're the ones that can't wait for the round to be over so they can have another spin of the wheel of fortune. If you're hiding in a corner, die, and end up in spectator, the sadist will be the first one to bend your ear over how you stalled the round.

They're primarily good at killing people, but only as an SCP. When they're humans, they're either pursuing an instant defeat so that the next round can start, or they're waiting in spectator, watching youtube. Unfortunately for the rest of us, sadists get SCP 6 times out of 10, so we're left with 1 time out of 10. The other 3 times are for the sado-masochists.

THE MASOCHIST

somebody who plays this game expecting to die in ludicrous, funny, and horrifying ways. They're the funny men. The Jack Blacks of Site-02.

They know they're going to die, come back, die, come back, and that the cycle will repeat once again, so they spend their lives carefree and joyously, looking for stupider ways to die, fun things to do like starting a cult. But sometimes, with a shred of sanity left in their mind, they look for smarter ways to survive and partners in crime to stick by.

Obviously I'm not going to say anything bad about these guys, as they're the only ones who wouldn't kill me on the spot if I was an opposing civilian.

THE SADO-MASOCHIST

, somebody who primarily "enjoys" playing as a human, but not for the guaranteed pleasure of being torn apart by every single SCP at once all because you left the wrong lift on the wrong floor.

They enjoy being a human for those sick gamer clips and kill montages. While they're having good luck, they'll tell anyone that they have a skill issue if they can't do such simple feats as killing every single CI in the building one by one, alone, while being chased by every SCP and 079.

When they start having bad luck again like the rest of us normies, that's when the game is broken and they're uninstalling, only to reinstall and pledge allegiance to Northwood by spending $30 for a 3 day long test showcasing the ability to crouch.

I just like to see the world burn

[Vendedor de Órgãos]

I try to have a good moment with the other players.

[Narrowgauge07]

I play it to be a human and survive agaisnt the odds. It was so satisfying to escape as d class, while mtf was spawning, and do my best to survive. I perished in the end, but i took 5-6 guys with me. Moments like those of high adrenaline and fighting against impossible odds are when the game is at its peak. Basically, doing your best

Scps suck though, Im not a fan of playing scps because I never have the same moments that I have when I play human.

The only reason anyone plays this game is the community. If this game didn't have voicechat nobody would play it.

I don't think that's the only reason for everyone
But yeah, removing voice chat would kill the game instantly

I would like to add another thing to this topic:The game becomes fun again if you take a break from it.

Like, I played a little bit of 13.0 when it launched, but I was getting angry and set off by stuff like 106 and 914, so aside from like 10 minutes attempts of playing, I wasn't really playing SL.

Fast foward to yesterday and today and I had a blast from my like 5 hour sessions on both days.

For example, when I got lunged by 939, instead of going "Oh, you motherf#cker! Door camper...", I went "Jesus Christ that made me jump. That was awesome!"

Agreed. Best way to play SL, is to not play SL, come back, die over and over, and enjoy the chaos. Of course there's an abundance of sweatier gamers who can't see the joy in death, and unfortunately with the way the game is going, there'll be more and more.

there are those matches that are the most fun you will ever have in a videogame and then there are those other matches that are just painful and unfun to play through.

[pstjames]

this game is all about the uncommon high moments where u solo a wave or escape all the scps
