Top 10 Video Games That Ruin Friendships


it’s all fun and games until somebody
starts annoying you and all of a sudden
you’re a YouTube sensation
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
which have multiplayer components that
inspire stiff competition that often
results in tension
although entire genres have a tendency
to do this we’re looking for specific
games or their theories ready fight
number 10 FIFA series one bad decision
one should a long-running franchise
based around the most popular sport in
the world can only inspire friendly
competition right wrong what are you
doing are you idiot tensions run altra
high as online series and offline
multiplayer matches push players to
their limits and the will to win quickly
morphs into desperation Oh
before long sharp words are thrown and
insults rained down don’t believe us
take a look at some of chaos eyes videos
uniting players from around the world
mine ass while you compress a you run
away from the poor number 9 Super Smash
Brothers 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
themselves flocking to this party game
and with the latest iterations having
eight players on 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 planned with your buds
is a rage filled disaster number eight
World of Warcraft
born and raised on the mysterious
wandering eye on 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 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 already guys oh my god he
just ran in baby emoji stick it clean oh
Jesus 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 free medrad me oh boy
hey number 7 contra
like minigames in the days of the NES
co-op changed the way we play together
as seen in contra
unfortunately it didn’t go as planned
inviting 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
lest 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 6 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
but a real zombie apocalypse with
cooperation failing that everything
falls apart now come on 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 2 you got to keep one thing
in mind never run off alone where your
friends will hate you for it no I’m dead
see how did you are dead on my screen oh
I’ll carry us you’re dead too you’re
down on the ground incapacitated there’s
a different number 5 Call of Duty series
let’s do this first-person shooters are
a hotbed for hot tempers and short fuses
and seen from such classics as Goldeneye
double-oh-seven 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 be secure
camping c4 throws akimbo shotguns you
name it everybody is pissed at something
in this game
plus the kill streak system means
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 four the
worms
series
this turn-based combat game allowed
players to take control of worms that
use a variety of firearms and wacky
weapons to attack their friends team 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 number
three the Mario Kart series
it goes without saying the Mario Kart
series is a big part of our childhoods
be it 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 they
use one of their stupid items and jump
the track to get ahead this game is so
good oh hey Bryce may wanna we play this
hell hath 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 slides as all who
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
get the burn try are you sure I didn’t
mean to do it that’s really a problem
you shouldn’t be able to hit each other
that’s fuckin bullshit come on it’s very
frustrating 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 hit a boiling point
when you’re realized that if one Blair
hits game over both of you have to start
the stage again game over that’s game
over for you
not for me I don’t know what you’ve got
it good kidding me you died but we both
have to restart the level sorry before
we move on to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions absolutely
number one 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 start only for a competitor to steal
it out from us with a boo or worse yet
have all of our coins taken by Bowser
and don’t even get us started on those
he’ll 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
want to see your guests to get lonely
just getting another star oh damn it do
you agree with our list what games have
you not talking to your friends anymore
