I don't really care for PvP and - in fact - multiplayer games in general. Anything with a voice-chat can f*ck right off. I play games to avoid interaction with people I like - why would I want to engage in p*ssing contests with semi-retarded teenagers? I tried an MMORPG once, ended up playing it for over a year, beat the top tier raids, but I quit it, because it started to feel too much like a second job. I like repetitive grind - that I have to pay for - as much as the next man, but those games are just too much.
I don't really care about story, unless it's cleverly presented through gameplay, like in Portal, for example. I like games with rich, immersive environments and interesting mechanics. Straight shooters, especially military-themed, don't really appeal to me - not since the 90's anyway. The only FPSs I enjoy these days are ones with large, elaborate, open worlds, like Far Cry. And the ones that are in fact RPGs with first person view and some shooting, like Fallout. Nothing I ever saw, or heard about games like Halo, or COD ever made me want to play any of them.
I like to make my own fun, when playing games. I treat games as toy universes, rather than as interactive story-telling media, or a competitive pursuit.
