I hate battle royale games. Every time I play them i get anxious and nervous, I cant take it anymore

I have played Apex Legends since it came out and I have about 900h between both steam and origin (mostly played during covid).

Since I stopped playing this rage games I feel much better

Tell me what you think of battle royale games in the comments if you want

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

They're not really my cup of tea so I usually dont try them. The only two battle Royale games i enjoyed though are Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35.

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.

Might wanna try out co-op shooters. I thought I hated MMO shooters but DRG has been a wonderful experience.

[–] altz3r0@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried a few, DRG, Warframe, destiny, and some others, but that hasn't clicked for me unfortunately.

I really feel a game like Rust or PUBG, but with a massive pick up and play scenario with shared goals where everyone collaborates would ve a great game. I haven't come across anything similar, as I think it would be something between a 3/4-person shooter and a full blown MMORPG?

I don't know, there are likely many technical complications obviously, but I feel there is unexplored terrain there.

I dont understand what makes them "somewhat unfair".

But I strongly agree we need more PvE stuff. I love competitive games, but they are so commital. More casual experiences would make it alot easier for me to try new games without too much commitment, and PvE sounds like it would fit in well.

I spent lots of time in Erangel one spring/summer several years ago.

I had fun, but I don't know why every big game had to become battle royale. I had my fill of fun, and was on to the next thing.

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.

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.

[–] SlamDrag@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JoshTheSquid@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I just wished arena shooters were more popular. Suppose I should boot up Quake Champions / Live again sometime.

[–] Reddit_Refugee2023@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same, I tried PUBG with some friends for a bit, but you run into people so infrequently that I don't get how you'd actually get any good at that game.
