Gaming

I tried those but it was just ,walk for 10 min , die, wait 3 min in lobby ,rinse and repeat . I was bored after 30 minutes . Also ,I don't like the theme ans visual of all those game. I don't like the aesthetic of fortnite and all of them . Too cartoonish and funny for me. I prefer dark and grim or realistic world.

Yeah I really don't enjoy them

I agree, I avoid PvP games and turn of any PvP element in games that allow that. Singleplayer games and MMO's that focus on PvE (even in group situations) are just a lot more fun for me. I like multiplayer games as long as you are not actively working against each other.

Recently I participated in the RuneScape 3 fresh start worlds and went for a top 100 spot on the Agility hiscores. And I just notice that I start spending way too much time on the game when I try to compete with other players.

The main issue for me is also the pvp aspect, which in reality just makes for a somewhat unfair game. I would love a battle royalish game that was PVE, or just collaborative in some manner, where everyone got together to fight bots and gain control of the territory. It's definetly tougher to implement, but it would be great.

I want to upvote you a thousand times. I mean, I don’t have 900 hours logged in a battle royale game, but I have tried a few.

The suckiest part to me, the bad, is how fucking long it takes to go from joining a match to the next.

I suck at these games, and that’s fine by me. I realise that being good comes from experience, and experience comes from failure. I know I need to fail one thousand times before I am decent, and I know I need to fail ten thousand times before I am good.

Therefore, if the gameplay experience is to wait two minutes to find a game to join, wait a minute for everyone to queue, wait for a minute to hit land after the drop, run around searching for anything to use for 5 minutes, run around searching for anyone to fight for 5 more minutes, and then lose the fight? I just spent 15 minutes doing nothing.

Compare that to a shooter that has a game mode in which I can respawn in 5 to 10 seconds. Much more fun.

I hate battle royales because I very much dislike the gameplay loop, but because they are popular every new shooter is a BR. Bah.

I personally love Apex, but I understand where you're coming from. I saw another person comment this, but I think it is important to highlight again: games should be fun. If you're not having fun, perhaps you should take a step back and evaluate whether or not it's helpful or if you're truly still enjoying it or playing for other reasons.

Not a fan of br's. I really wish hero shooters stuck around for longer, but unfortunately overwatch cornered the market then imploded. Now we're stuck with Valo, CS, Apex and Fortnite for competitive shooters, which leaves a lot of genres of the table.

I played Fortnite for about a year after the BR came out. I enjoyed the PvE version of the game and the BR had the right balance of ridiculousness and solo gameplay I wanted out of a competitive shooter.

I never enjoyed the team driven BRs because I don't find my team relying on me relaxing.

I enjoyed the battle royals when pubg came out but then so many came out in a short time. I think the next big thing will be extraction shooters game types.

I dunno how much skill they take.

I actually like the idea of BR games, but I often find myself getting frustrated because I can't keep up with the skill level of a lot of players these days, it seems. Especially now that I have a job and devote less time of my life to gaming. Add to that that I've lost aiming accuracy in my hand and that I'm probably dealing with RSi in my right hand, and that has more or less led to me just enjoying highly competitive shooters less. For that reason I mostly just casually play Fortnite every now and then, but it doesn't really scratch the shooter itch for me (I hope CS2 will do it for me, but I'll probably be completely demolished). Back in the day I was super into playing Quake 3 Arena and just loved strafe- and rocketjumping while landing railgun shots (ocasionally), but little of that really transferred to modern shooters. I do still enjoy playing arena shooters, though, but they're very niche.

Currently I've gone back to playing single player shooters, mostly focusing on "boomer shooters". Also I've just been playing Doom 1 and 2 via GZDoom lately, which has been fun.

I love the game play and aesthetic of fortnite but playing solo BR can be too intense and i rarely feel like doing it. It's more fun and less intense playing with friends though
