Just jumped into PC gaming from console. Which multiplayer games should I start with?

[lemon4real 0]

I just jumped into PC gaming and was looking for opinions/info on what games I should get.  I'm looking for a bigger multiplayer experience that consoles can't provide.

[Doctor_GLaDOS 150]

Team Fortress 2 in my 100% objective non-bias opinion.

that consoles can't compete with.

I do not understand that sentence but I will say Planet side 2, World of warcraft, Guild wars 2, 7 days to die, No more room in hell.

Well that's easy to answer because that means MMO's, since almost every other multiplayer game is on console. That comes down to your personal preference since there are so many. WoW is established and since you're new you have no idea what vanilla WoW is. EVE is another good one if you're into the bigger picture with a full on economy and taking massive amounts of time to see end results. Black Dessert Online is a new one but was first established in Korea...like I mentioned many to choose from lol.

 

Then there's MOBAs, you should probably start with League of Legends, Smite or Heroes of the Storm and they're free.  Heroes of the Storm is more noob friendly but getting used to the controls will take time.

 

Also get into Steam ASAP! They have a huge free games list that is full of multiplayer shooters, MMOs, MOBAs...just about everything. Hope that helps.

Start with free games.  TF2, SMITE, Heroes of the Storm, they're all good.

I'd recommend CS:GO if you're into competitive FPS games, and perhaps an MMO like pretty much everyone else said.

[Maghorn 185]

RTS isn't a big thing on consoles, so I'd look up OpenRA and play some old Command & Conquer games.

[Glaice 415]

Armored Warfare if you like tank combat.

[Mr_E_Meatshield 1,306]

Been hearing great things about Warframe. There are also a number of online PC games that the AJSA have presence in.

[Jitterdoomer 133]

CSGO, this game was more competitive than Call of Duty because once you get the very rare weapon at the end of the match, you can either sell it for Steam Money to buy games like Fallout 4 and other items, or use it to impress other players.

Battlefield 3 for PC had more players than in the PS3 and Xbox 360 version and you can get it when it's on sale on Origin for $4.99.

I can also recommend Warframe, World Of Warships is quite a bit of fun and both are free.

Consoles can't provide a lot of pc only titles people here have recommended, but I think you should try games you could play on console but using a keyboard and mouse. I would recommend a shooter like battlefield 4 for something you can easily understand. After that, try to see whether or not you like controlling a character in a third person shooter sort of action game like grand theft auto online. If you don't care about any of that, than by all means, jump into the mobas and mmos.

[Ghaleon 455]

people suggeste4d warframe, which I think is actually available on some consoles. but uhh. that kinda is in the same direction I was gonna suggest. Unless you're one of those people who have their console on a desk with a mouse and keyboard, perhaps you may wanna try playing fps games you may have already been interested in to begin with on consoles... mouse/keyboard fps is a completely different experience than gamepad for most people.

CSGO has a toxic community so I would be against the recommendation.

[Raspharus 249]

Ofc you could also not act like a cry baby, man up and play cs go since its one of the best multiplayer shooters on the PC. Oh and there's a mute button so have fun with that.

 

Also hearthstone, is one of my recommendations.

[Ghaleon 455]

It's not a multiplayer game at all. But Tales of Maj'eyal is a great roguelike with huge content that has a neat little online community feature where you can talk to other players playing the game in-game. link items, unique monsters, and see each of them die horribly (or obtain achievements... Normally I couldn't care less about achievements, but in a challenging roguelike it's kinda cool to see what people can do what successfully, and who is getting killed by level 1 bandits).

[Velocirapter 43]

CSGO and BF4 Overwatch when it comes out and all the free to play gems

[Apex Spartan 2,017]

Depends what genre you want exactly.

 

If you want to try out MOBAs, I would recommend: League of Legends, DOTA 2 (pretty hard tho), Heroes of the Storm, SMITE

FPS: CS:GO, Battlefield 4, Team Fortress 2 and maybe Overwatch when it comes out.

MMOs: World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, TERA, Black Desert are some of the more played and popular ones atm

 

MOBAs and MMOs would probably be your best starting point if you are looking for something that's unique only on PC like you said on your post. As far as I know, no MOBA can be played on console and there isn't any MMORPGs except Destiny. Not ones that are good and popular at least.

Or I just don't want to play with shitty players?

[MasterAatrox117 1]

i would think it would depend on weather or not it is a multi-player game, what your pc will support, and wheather or not the angry army streatches that far.

[Gears Kondraki 24]

I shall recommend Natural Selection 2

[Goroz 2]

Give Dungeon Defenders 2 a try, I've played it for about 25 hours now and still having fun!

[MandyB 45]

Try Mechwarrior Online

[HappyWulf 1]

Lets seeee... entry level PC games.

Heros of the Storm is an entry level MOBA.

TF2 is an entry level, team class-based shooter.

Don't Starve Together - Survival game

Killing Floor 2 - Arcade zombie shooter

Endless Legend - 4X

'll leave it at this for now, don't wanna make my post too long and push others out. This just scratches the surface though.

[asterios 5]

I would jump onto Overwatch, I've been playing the beta and it is one of the funnest shooters I've played in awhile
