I'm firmly Gen X, but I feel the same. The only PvP system that I ever liked was EvE Online
that makes more sense the younger you are the more likely you should be to enjoy multiplayer games.
Did you just call me young?
no. i meant you're older than me so it makes sense that you don't really like mp games. the younger you are the more likely you'll grow up with mp games. i didn't grow up with them so most of them are pointless to me. i have enjoyed overwatch a lot though in the last 8 years.
I mean the first online MP game I played was Descent when I was 14. Then Neverwinter Nights when I was 14 or 15? I had been playing multiplayer games against my brothers and friends since I could form memories.
I don't think it's just because of my age, I fundamentally find a lot of the online MP game loops unrewarding, and always have. Co-op MP has always been more my jam. There's something extremely satisfying about seeing someone try to attack me, and being able to call my friends in as a hammer to just fuck their day entirely, while I just keep mining like nothing is happening.
