Well said and your analogy to hockey is a great example. TL DR It's both, but don't blame the game too much, it's always fixable by the group. all do something to rememdy the alpha gamer situation. Games where players are acting simultaneously or trying to accomplish different thing. Games that don't allow completely open communication.
Games that don't provide everyone all the individual info they need. There are ways for games to be structured to overcome this type of gamer. Is that a problem with me and with the game group? Absolutely. you need to do X for action 1, followed by Y for actions 2 and 3, and then Z for action for. I can sit on one end of the table, and if I think i'm the best pandemic player in the group, i can tell everyone on their turn "ok. Pandemic for example, while being a great game, completely supports this.
There are some co-op games that completely support this kind of behavior. Hockey doesn't really support this kind of thing. controlling every aspect of the game instead of letting everyone do their own thinking. It would be like the captain on the hockey team trying to tell people where to skate, where to hit the puck, when to shoot, when to pass. They think they know the game better than everyone. When we talk about an alpha gamer in a co-op group, we mean someone who is "for the betterment of the team" trying to tell everyone else what to do because they know best. that's not a problem with the game of hockey. You talk about someone being too into the game, playing too aggresively, checking too hard. Lets look at your hockey analogy for example. I'm not saying there aren't bad games out there, I'm just saying social issues with games are still, at the heart of things, our error, not the games. If everyone is up and dancing and then he decides to play a slow dance and kill the mood, and everyone leaves the dance floor, it's the DJs fault, not the song. Picking a board game for a specific group of gamers is like being a DJ at a wedding. Does the game's design have a problem because your group didn't enjoy it? It would be silly to draw that conclusion. It's like bringing Uno to a gamer group that plays incredibly indepth games. I think the issues with coop games are more not choosing the right gaming group than the game. If you're not the type to defend yourself or speak up maybe stick with Euro-style games where there isn't any direct conflict. Maybe he'd fit in with a more competitive group? Maybe we should simply talk to him? Maybe we could just be aware of it and stand up to him when the time comes? When you play hockey recreationally and one guy is checking people a little too hard and getting a little too into it, this is a problem with the social dynamics of that person with the rest, not the game of hockey. Despite all these additions, the team will be looking to keep a "consistent design and visual identifiers" in order to "keep the experience familiar.Whenever I see people complain about how a game has an alpha gamer problem, I tend to feel this is an issue more towards that game group. Scrolling down will provide you with a recommendation of games curated as per your taste. Settings, Store, Search, and My Games & Apps, which are some of the most important apps on the dashboard receive their own dedicated tiles on Xbox Home.
Similar to the PS5, the new UI comes with a “Jump back in” feature which will allow you to – as the name suggests – jump back into whatever game you were playing as quickly as possible (thanks, VGC). Xbox is experimenting with a number of new ideas, and some of them sound familiar. The new UI isn't only different in the way it looks and feels, but also includes some brand-new features. While we don't have an exact date as of yet, a select few of those enrolled in the Xbox Insiders program are able to access the revamped dashboard. Microsoft is set to roll out an all new dashboard UI for Xbox next year.
