How often do you say GG

[Forerunner]

Good game (GG) is something that spun out of competitive gaming on pc. Generally, at the end of a match, players will exchange this polite closure. However, its usage seems to have diminished over the years and you are more likely to receive negative closure. So how often do you say gg or do you even say it at all?

 

[Deleted member 54320]

Never, I think?

 

[antitrop]

I said it to declare Defeat at the end of a match StarCraft II before leaving the game, otherwise never.

 

[SpecDot]

I say it every time. Even after the sexy time with the wife. Pat her on the butt and say, "GG".

 

[leenbzoold]

I say it quite often in my everyday live, but not actually in online gaming.

 

[BillFromAccounting]

It's pretty standard to say this at the end of League of Legends matches.

If the other team has been talking shit though? i'll definitely slap them with that good ol "good game, ez"

 

[EloKa]

Usually ggwp

 

[TheCthultist]

I'll send a message saying "good fight" after any decent match in DBFZ, but beyond that, never...

 

[Hektor]

In highly competitive games and ranked modes always.
Rarely ever in casual matches and party games tho.

 

[benzopil]

After every match

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

Lately, quite often since I've been playing FF14.
I say it at the end of every dungeon / boss battle, since it's pretty easy to type on a PS4 controller, lol.
I've never said it in any other game I don't think.

 

[astro]

Pretty often.

 

[MontlyCure]

Usually at the end of every Rocket League match.

 

[Nanashrew]

Probably a lot.

 

[Scerick]

Pretty often, if not every time. Always at the end of a Duty in FFXIV.

 

[caylen]

Any game that has text chat that takes longer than 10 minutes to play: every single time.

In league post lobby, I also try to call out people that made the game better, even if they are on the opposing team, because I know how good it feels when someone does that to me. I don't think everyone has to have that mentality, but it's kind of fun to improve the experience of people post-game regardless of result.

 

[dancingphlower]

If I get a message, then yeah I'll respond in turn. But otherwise no.

 

[Zombie]

After every match of Dota since there's a much bigger time investment there compared to something like Rocket League where I'll just instantly requeue and tab out.

 

[Paches]

At the end of FF14 dungeons with random groups I do it.

 

[Asbsand]

Never. I'm not really part of "gamer" culture like that.

 

[GustyGardens]

It's a little harder to do it quickly on a console, but I'll send a message if I think someone played really well on the other team. I do find that a lot of people have their messages sent to friends only, so they'll never know that I appreciated and enjoyed playing against them.

 

[Saikyo]

Actually a lot when talking about guilty gear.

 

[MrS]

Often

 

[Deleted member 864]

A couple of times, not often though.

 

[antitrop]

My brother was also huge into StarCraft and I got him one of those GG buttons as a birthday present one year.

 

[Tathanen]

I do not play online games on my computer.

 

[zeox]

Whenever I play a competitive game (sc2, siege etc) and the game is over I say GG

 

[SigSig]

I even say HF GL every time.

 

[GodofWine]

I'll type it, but not say it.

 

[SimplyComplex]

I've noticed myself saying it more and more Weirdly enough, I think hearing Twitch streamers saying it rubbed off on me lol

 

[Vilix]

Back when I played PSO I used to say it all the time. I'll post "Thanks for the help" when I play MHW with randoms.

 

[Jerm]

Never

 

[brandonbrb]

Probably a lot.

Click to shrink...

 

[StarStorm]

In a heroic dungeon on WoW with randoms, I say it. When I used to play LoL, I'll say it. Most competitive pvp matches, I'll say it.

 

[Izzy]

I mean, I've disabled emotes in most games. I'd prolly say it if I was playing an rts, but that hasn't happened in a while.

 

[Starfire22]

I chose option 3 (If it really was a GG, and not some griefer), but really I almost always do. Especially if I know I was outplayed.

 

[KillLaCam]

If I was already talking to the people in the game or if it was actually a gg

 

[mopinks]

I don't really play competitive games so I only say it to myself

 

[Eppcetera]

Never. Is this something people do in online games? I'm wondering since I don't play online games.

 

[Deleted member 56449]

If someone sent me GG then I'll send GG back

 

[Orochinagis]

only in LoL, when we lose prior min 15

 

[DoradoWinston]

usually I think. Unless they were toxic then I would just be toxic lol

 

[808s & Villainy]

I've never said it in the context of videogames in my life. I've only said it and the end of games of actual intramural sports

 

[Twonny]

Whenever someone says GGs, I'll say it back.

Or if I'm talking about Guilty Gear.

 

[Pelicano]

ggez
ezpz

 

[squilliedee]

I say GG after every game of NBA 2k or any other sports game, win or lose. Not so much with shooters and other genres.

 

[Rizific]

quite often in mp games.

 

[skillzilla81]

I initiate the GG if I think it was a good game.

If somebody sends me a gg, I always respond in kind.

 

[Lindsay]

Dun think I've ever seen/heard this saying prior to opening this thread so I'ma go with never.

 

[TimeFire]

gg ez

I use it in real life sometimes too help
