Gaming

FFXIV is the only online game I will tolerate playing with strangers

I tried a couple battle royal, but I never invested that much time in them. I basically ran around for a bit then died. I didn't get into them. I've played a ton of counter strike and overwatch tho.

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.

Good on you for quitting rage games. I used to have this issue as well and after taking a few years off of them, I was able to get back into them without the anger and frustration.

I only play online games with friends now and only for fun. I actually just got into Fortnite and it’s really fun to play and just kinda goof around with friends in. If we win it’s nice but if we don’t it’s not a big deal. The game is so goofy that it’s hard to get mad at.

But when you do start realizing that the main games you play just piss you off, you need to take a step back and try to find what games actually let you have fun and what conditions you have fun under. For me it’s either single player games, or multiplayer games casually with friends.

I’d probably lose my mind playing Valorant alone but it’s really nice and casually with a group of people just talking and playing together.

Valorant, Fortnite, phasmophobia, grounded, and overwatch 2 are probably the best group games I play at this point. I can’t recommend league sadly because everyone I play with also just gets angry at this point lmao.

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.

I dont like battle royales

Most of the time is spent just trying to get equipment or running from point A to point B, and by the time you've spent 15-20 minutes just running, one encounter means you lose

I play CS:GO. I like it because its more constant decision making, and the shorter rounds means less time investment into a single round. But it has gotten so bad with cheaters. I have played CS for over 15 years and yet I constantly run into brand new accounts or accounts that were clearly boosted (500+ commends in each category), bought, and used by cheaters who said that "it was cheaper than rust..." The matchmaking is so atrocious, I have people at the bottom of the ranks on my team and top of the ranks on theirs; the averages arent even close. I'm not playing CS:GO anymore and if CS2 doesnt fix the cheating problem, I'm not going back.

I've been unwillingly playing Fortnite for the last two years. I like competitive gaming with friends but big map BR games are just so boring for about 90% of the time you play them. Just soooo much running around. I consider time spent looking for opponents to be pretending to play a game.

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 dislike rage games or any kind of game that damages my already fragile psychie.

:( I don't understand why people like them

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

Don't like them. Deathmatch is more fun, and is even better with some Quad Damage

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.
