    Competition can be fun. Though competition against a bunch of teens who do nothing but play after school is terrible. Having vs competition be the entire game sucks, because it’s one note. It’s gogogogogo why are you walking five feet away from my plan!?

    Fuck that. Fuck off with your objective nannying. I want to have fun.

      I’m with you here

      It’s goes both ways. When I’m playing planetside sometimes i wanna lead squads, directing people what to do where to go, watching the map to ensure victory and collaborating with other squad leaders on a larger scale

      But while that can be fun sometimes I want to chill and suicidally charge into a 1v6 against tanks on my shitty little hover bike just for the lols

      Edit: forgot to add sometimes a challenge is fun, pushing against near impossible odds, but at the same time it can frustrating so for me it just really depends what I’m in the mood for

      I need those teens because my friends are all bad at FPS games and it’s less fun playing down to their level. I find the challenge satisfying in a way that silly fun just isn’t.

        There are difficulty levels in single player games. Besides, if you’re good and enjoy the competition, just play ranked if you want to go against similar skill as the designers intended.

          I generally do, my point is that your statement “when they stopped being about fun” is subjective and judgmental. You don’t have to like tryhard online competitive gaming but flatly disparaging it is kinda shitty.

            Yes, it’s judgemental because of what it has done to the gaming industry. Games used to have both online competative and a banging actual game. There are fools in the industry that think single player games are dead.
