Gaming

Battle Royale sucks, story games with multiplayer elements are where it's at :D

I've been playing some Fortnite with friends. It's mainly us getting trashed and messing with people.

I found taking it much less seriously increases the fun, but that's just me. Apex is another animal in regards to play style. I can't play it.

Yeah I really don't enjoy them

I can't stand competitive multiplayer. But I'm not very good at paying games. It seems to take me more than twice as long as people say it should to finish most games (I do tend to try and do everything I can on my first play through).

That said I tried playing Elden Ring multiplayer, helping people beat bosses, and that was a surprisingly wholesome experience.

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.

Come to the bayou and play Hunt Showdown you’ll never leave

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 played a ton of PUBG when it came out, got my fix with that one and never really played any of the games that came after

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 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 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.
