I agree with the bold part. But I love multiplayer.
I just like playing 1 versus 1 games of Age of Empires 2 online competitively. And seeing how high I can get my Elo (the same system they use for Chess ratings)..... fuck voice chat or even text chat. It's just some random person I want to destroy.
Quote: 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.
MMORPG's are 90% causal though anyways.
Quote: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.
For FPS I'll always be oldskool.
Quote: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.
I play games for fun but if I enjoy a game enough I enjoy the beautiful strategy of the amazing game (Age of Empires 2 is a beautiful game)... the same someone would find beauty in chess. And it becomes fun to master the game (again, just like with chess). If competitive gaming gives you anxiety or frustration then don't play it.... but if you can enjoy kicking people's arses online then why not?
