Co-op > singer player >>>>>>>>>> pvp

I'm not 55 yet, but I was also way more into online games when I was in my 20s than I am now.

And I play both in my mid 30s equally.

I'm 21 and only play singleplayer stuff.

I do think that the fact I actually started playing games at 19 ( that'd when I got a laptop that could run games decently ) and the fact that no rl friend of mine had a pc just left me with mp/coop games with no friend's to play with and I just didn't like them.

So nowdays I play singleplayer stuff, especially latelly on the used ps4 I bought, stuff like bloodborne, yakuza 0, god of war, nier automata, ..., and elden ring rn.

I'm not that old, but time is flying at me, and in my experience it's that older people don't have the same time options and skill level to "git gud" at newer games and that just makes online games less fun for some of us. So single player games we can take our time on and finish without somebody in the headset barking at us. I really prefer things like Fortnite STW these days, I can log in and choose to pair up with others or go it alone and I have the option to choose my difficulty level with the different biomes.

It's ok, one day Gen Beta will be the same way with the Z's, it's the circle of life.

I still play online some, but I've come to the conclusion I'm not great at it and never will be and I'm ok with that.

In other news they used to make good single player game and now they don’t.

Gen-z also gets massive psychological trauma because online multiplayer games suck, needing to deal with other gen Z people online.

My old ass can't compete in multiplayer games anymore.

Now I enjoy my slow pace / turn-based games when I want to relax.

It makes sense to me the older we get, the less time we spend gaming.

If I have to trade a solid 8 hours of sleep or play 1 hour or 2, the bed is winning.

PvP is king you scrubs
