PC Gaming

I don't play many FPS games full stop. The ones I did play added a bunch of elements I didn't like (Destiny, Overwatch, etc). Since they don't make up the predominant portion of games I play, I can't say it's surprising to me.

Others have complained about the number of "mouth breathing kids" and I can't really fault them for that. The number of people in online games with no filters, who play loud music, or have family drama going on around them on hot mic is too high. The number of people who are rude or worse is also too high.

There's something, though, to be said for the kinds of games that are just more popular because they encourage a story and or exploration or both.

i can confirm, im a fossil and i dont want to play with teenagers either

after i encountered more teens and kids in onlines one day i gave up, it never changed even as i tried to dabble in some again here and there

Teenagers have the time to really get good at these games and lack the money to buy lots of games so its natural they would focus on skill based games that you can spend a lot of time in

My interest in anything online was gone the moment my Destiny group that came together to have fun was yelling at me because I was dying in a raid and laughed about it. Even Rocket League became too serious.

Well when I was a teenager I liked pvp games. Now I don't. I assume when they're adults some of them will feel the same, probably

I mostly play video games to switch off and relax. So generally I play single player RPGs on the easiest setting and just explore the world and the story.

I do occasionally play something like PUBG if I'm after some excitement but I don't have time to master games like I did when I had no responsibilities or kids!

I like dark souls :)

I need another Uncharted style game. I don't want another always online, micro transaction filled, lootbox earning grindfest filled with people who wish cancer on your mother because you don't play as well as they think you should

They needed a study to tell them that?

Yeah I'm not buying a game so the 13 year old mouth breathers can yell racist misogyny at me because I don't make the game the fulcrum of my existence.

Give me a Metroid where it's me, alone, vs a hostile world, and my thoughts.

Co-op is all I care for

The only thing that I enjoy more than single player RPGs are co-op RPGs, to this day my favorite gaming experience is playing through the entirety of Tales of Graces f in co-op with my friend, and it's a shame most of these games don't even have a couch co-op option, much less an online mode, at least Larian does it with their games.

My appetite for PvP dropped off precipitously after college. I just don't have the time to dedicate to getting good at any game, and every online multiplayer game I've ever played is toxic if you aren't at least decent. I have no interest in a sixteen year old cursing me out because I don't have the map memorized.

Single player generally also brings in much more flexibility, especially when it comes to things like mods. With my limited free time, if I'm enjoying a game except for thing x, I prefer the ability to remove or diminish that thing x. Also, you have the ability to pause to change laundry loads or whatever.

I enjoy pvp games that I'm talented at. If I'm not good at something I tend to get down when I keep losing. Pvp is just really hard and bottles that feeling of helplessness.
