I feel like the rise of competetive gaming has turned the gaming scene from a hobby or escape to a job/task

[@purple-xw1uv]

110% and it’s ruined the fun of gaming, casual matches in pvp games should be the equivalent of pickup basketball at the park, instead people treat as a pro tourney. I like to play league and it’s heavy in there. Smurf teemo trash talking sweating top lane when I’m just trying to listen to music and have fun. It’s very frustrating.

[@sportschool3537]

@@InfoblackXD I disagree with all of this... mainstream or not there are GREAT games (example, monster hunter world, one of the best video games of all time), good games (ex. Tomb Raider or Uncharted) and BAD games (CoD is a perfect example)... that is subjective up to a point but there are video game creation fundamentals that make games go to one of 3 categories... what makes Monster Hunter World one of the best games of all time? Immersion, intensity, level of detail, incredible intelligence and realism of the AI, fantastic flow of the combat system... on the other hand what makes the latest CoD a bad game? Horrible maps, lack of balance that makes the game always end up with 2-3 meta weapons everyone uses in every game, ways of losing that feel unfair (RPG spamming, flame shotguns, unavoidable killstreaks such as choppers that are not even player controlled), SBMM that makes every game feel sweaty and the better you get the harder the game gets which makes you never see any real improvement in your performance since the game just gets harder and you perform the same, the game aims to keep you playing through rage and frustration rather than enjoyment... All these are OBJECTIVE characteristics of each of these games and they are also objective characteristics that most games have some of them... so, mainstream or not, big studio games or small indy games it doesn't matter... all that matters is being able to identify what makes a game good or even GREAT and pick the ones that objectively are the best games out there and then out of them you can subjectively decide which ones are more for you... CoD is still coming out every year and bought by people (while 80% of them complain about how the game sucks) only because these people don't know how to identify a good game... it's that simple...

I think the true death of online games like cod / halo was the death of the lobby. In the past everyone played with the mic on, you talked shit between games, you made each other laugh, it was much more social, when someone was clearly skilled you could talk to them after, when they sucked you could talk to them after. Now most games I feel the mic is barely on, unless playing ranked, and if it is just call outs. Now if someone is really good, instead of forming a relationship with them (good or bad), they are just a soulless avatar that kills you. Its very clinical and soulless now.

[@batman6621]

I love specific shooters. If I could play hell let loose or beyond the wire I would. But what ruins shooters for me is the over the top competitiveness that promotes selfish playstyles. The k/d stat for instance. Its shoved in your face in almost every shooter, even in gamemodes that are supposed to be TEAM oriented. People check on this and worry if theyll go negative, so they adopt a shit playstyle like sitting at the back with a sniper or mortar truck and do nothing to help the fee teammates who actually want to play properly. Almost every game in bf1 Operations becomes a stomping match as either the attackers become too scared to spoil their k/d and play sniper, so not attacking, making the defence way too easy and boring. Or the defenders are too scared to stay in their defence zones because theyre afraid to die and mess their k/d up, leaving it to the enemy to capture. So its either an extremely easy defence or a steamroll attack with little no resistance, both extremely boring to play on both sides. All because K/D is plastered in front of everyone like its the main objective, so thats all people focus on. Even some people shoot friendly ammo and health crates just so they can place theirs and get points. To me even leaderboards are a problem, literally because they promote selfish gameplay, team quitters and team switichers. A solution would be to either have a stat track based on how many objectives you have captured and defended, promoting players to do just that. Or at the very least allow players to turn off public leaderboard stat tracking in the match itself. So players can actually play for fun and be immersed without being frustrated and only playing for good stats.

I play something and I realize that this game only has like 20% of the features/lore/whatever I actually wanted from a video game. And then I stop and play the next best thing, that probably is even worse than whatever I played before. Right now I just cant bring myself to even launch any game I have in my library. I am still looking forward to Starfield, Diablo 4 , Hogwarts Legacy and Ashes of Creation. But of course as most games that are promising, they will get delayed for years or be released prematurely and broken.

[@Opethfeldt]

I think it's a matter of neurochemistry changes. As we age, our dopamine levels decline. This makes the same activities less fun. Combine this with the fact that games haven't changed a whole lot since we were kids and there's very little novelty, which is what promotes high dopamine levels. The end result is that games just aren't as entertaining from your perspective as an adult as they were when you were a kid filled with wonder and curiosity.

I would have believed this until I played with VR. I think the real issue is the lack of actual advancements in game design. So far, it has mostly been graphical changes. With VR, there are so many new ways to play games. This is also why I like some "gimmicks" and novel ideas such as the Ring Fit Adventure and my favorite handheld being the DS. I also appreciate games that utilize physics like Zelda BotW and good level design as seen in TLOU Part 2.

In my opinion, it happens because as you get older, you notice more details in games and you will probably see unfair or broken mechanics, or just lack of detail. Also, you have a whole baggage of played games in your memory, so whenever you play a new game, it gets compared with previous ones consciously or not. When you were just a kid, you just played the game and nothing else mattered, even if it was full of bugs, had small amount of content and was repeatable.

[@maxpowers2011]

Personally I found that quitting online competitive gaming and playing single player games or online co-op games only has severely got me salivating to play games when I get home again. Competitive games are toxic as hell and are designed to only keep you throwing yourself at the game in hope of getting that 1 out of 30 really good match up. Stop playing carrot on a stick games and return to what gaming used to be. It will be the most fun you have, I promise.

[@lierofjeld5051]

Gaming was so much better when there was less choice. I remember a time when everyone played the same game in each genre.

[@baldrick1199]

It really depends on your age OR how much gaming you've done. Game's nowadays hardly offer new elements. It's "been there, done that" feeling with A LOT of games. I've been playing games since Commodore 64 days. I've played so many different genre of games, from strategy, adventure, action-adventure, RTS, first-person shooter, mmropgs, RPG's, mobile games, sports, racing, moba, mud, puzzle. I've been going through the last 2 years just hopping from one game to another. I think we also need to understand how our brain reacts to video games. Adventure games don't provide as frequent of dopamine fix compared to adventure games in which you're walking around interacting with NPCs and solving puzzles. The point is, we've reached a point where games give a certain level of dopamine fix and no other game will provide more. So, gaming industry still thriving because there are new generations that discover gaming and more of them than ever before. But in a few decades or so it will reach a point where pretty all games out there are repeats of what's done before with just different looking characters, improved graphics etc.

The truth is that we are currently living in an age where our brains are exposed 24h/day 7 days/week to highly addictive sources of explosion of dopamine with instantaneous 4k media, endless options of games, highly addictive social media platforms, over-processed and highly stimulant foods and drinks, all at the instantaneous reach of our fingers. This is making our brains more and more resistant do dopamine, which is what gives you the sense of achievement and happiness when you enjoy something. It's not only games that are becoming "boring", everything is technically better, higher quality, and more stimulating than before, but we are becoming less and less sensitive to it. Sometimes slowing down from time to time, taking a brake of all of these things, make you enjoy not only things you might currently consider "boring", but life in general.

I think that the real reason is dopamine saturation and nothing is special anymore. Nowadays we get so much instant gratification in facebook, other social media, phones, tablets, computers, tv shows, movies etc., that playing something that takes just a bit of effort takes motivation, and doesn’t give a lot of initial instant gratification doesn’t feel as satisfying as scrolling on facebook. Along with that, nothing is really special anymore. When I was a kid it was REALLY special, if someone showed me something, a book, a toy, whatever, that they got from somewhere else than here, or if someone had a couple of kung fu movies sent from a relative in china, or something like that. In between these “special” things, we went about just living and goofing around. Nowadays when can get all those not-special-anymore things at the click of a mouse button, and nothing is secret, special, reserved for those who know it, anymore. I think that it’s a genuine problem, that everything is within reach now.

People out here really complaining that gaming is getting boring because the games are too hard because of sweaty players. No… it’s just that your too stupid to get good at the game when the majority of these games are directly made for casual players. Battlefield is a great example of a game that deliberately punishes people for being good. The sense of reward has completely diminished. The skill gap is literally nonexistent because putting more hours into the game means nothing anymore. Overall games being too casual has ruined fps games

[@jasonchiu272]

A great example for why games nowadays feel less entertaining: I remember in the past when I first played Minecraft, there were always these mysteries floating around, which were vague but enough to grab my attention. Things such as "Found footage of Herobrine" or "The Aether in vanilla Minecraft!" were circulating in the KZbin system. I remembered actually believing in these things (maybe because I was very young at that time) and spent hours trying to replicate those same things I saw. Also, Minecraft was so simple in the past, and it felt like a comfy world for me to escape the real world. Other games during the pre-early 2010s decade also had similar traits: simple, fun, and surrounded with mystery. Well, that all changed when the competitive lootbox rushed game meta attacked. And also let's not forget the fact that as soon as a game is released, within a few weeks the game is turned inside out and dried up of all its mystery. In my opinion, I feel like game companies should focus on improving a couple games and sacrifice some they feel will cause more burden than good. Supercell for example, sacrificed many games they made in favor of improving their most popular ones, which is why their top games are so successful. There are many more reasons for games nowadays to feel lackluster other than the fact we are growing up.

This is something that affects all aspects of life through all of history. Older people say the same things about phones saying they are enw as they grew up in a different enviroment. But for people who are 18-25, our situation for growing up is we grew up in a golden age of gaming, cinema, and social media, before the insane battlepasses, the bloated MCU, before cancel culture, before all of the negative crap from the past few years. For the kids growing up now, they think this is the best time and theyll have fond memories of playing fortnite, valorant and all of those shit games, while we had relics like minecraft, Black ops 2, GTAV , Happywheels, Skyrim, MGS, Witcher 3. Most of people aged 16-25 had Skydoesminecraft, Vannosgamming, Smosh, early pewds, early jacksepticeye, Machinima, nigahiga, thomas sanders. We had watchmojo.coms top 10s which were hella popular. We had minecraft youtubers before they touched kids, had marital problems or killed themselves. We had leafyishere ffs. No one was complaining about social justice or any of that crap... except they probably were, we were just young, dumb, didnt care and we ignored it. Now we are bogged down with so much crap like jobs, payments, relationships, insecurities, and so much more. The Kids of today are living the same life we had just 10 years removed, instead of Skydoesminecraft they have Ninja, instead of minecraft they have fortnite, instead of Vine they tiktok, bereal is about to become their snapchat/instagram and our middle east war will be their eastern european war. In 10 years some dude will make the same video saying the games in the 2030s are dogshit and he wish he had the games like fortnite, valorant, and he fondly remembers tiktok as he hates the new 10 second app whatever it will be. I think youtubers have become less funny, watching 90% of the creators content is now that i used to love just isnt funny anymore, but i know some 11 year old will be laughing his tits off, and in the 2030s will be bored with that youtuber. idk, thats my two cents on the matter. If you wanna play less mainstream games like he suggests, watch yt like spiffing brit, ambigousamphibian, strat-edgy productions

Well, everyone forgets that they had fun when they were kids, young, carefree, and full of imagination. Everything was fun back then due to those factors. We also had limited time from parents and limited games. Now that we have all grown up and we can buy many more games and watch them on KZbin before actually getting to play them, we have lost the feeling of novelty as we truly are experienced generally and know-it-all, been-there-done-that in gaming. For some, these modern games are their childhood and they will remember them forever. I, however, enjoy many new games and I play different genres. From online shooters like COD, PUBG, BF to side scrollers like Ori, Rayman, Trine to artistic games like Abzu, Gorogoa and Journey. You can still get that "childhood" nostalgia back by: 1. playing fewer games 2. buying games on sale after the hype trains are over (not talking about the online games), so you play solely for your enjoyment and curiosity 3. watch fewer trailers and don't watch gameplay from youtubers 4. focus on a single game at a time and don't be distracted by social media and hypes.

[@Trumpinator3000]

Games used to not be political and bring their agendas into the game. For example cod or fortnut. The majority of games were better back then. Now most games just copy the newest trends like every game having a battle pass. They no longer take risks to trying something new. There's games that are well made but also notice most are single player because multiplayer games are all about making the big bucks.

[@sarthaksingh5480]

Games can be boring for those who do gaming since late 90s like me. I saw a time when people don't care about graphics graphics card and fps. But now everything is on your desk. I like some current gen game not online gaming because online gaming is biggest time waster. I plays doom 2016, doom eternal nfs payback, starwars Battlefront 2015, Tekken 7 and some many more. Then there is mobile nowdays i like offline mobile games too. I never bored on gaming just because of the art style which attracts me alot.

I really agree with the being able to see games before we play them. It's completely necessary in a landscape of money hungry developers, but in the 90's, developers had to make a complete game, because they couldn't patch them. I remember always being excited when I got to rent a game from Blockbuster, because I had no idea what it was gonna be like. The sad reality is that the landscape of gaming has changed, and gamers have had to adapt, and those feelings we had in the golden age of gaming just aren't able to be recreated again.

Title should be: Why multiplayer games feel boring now. Single player games are still great.

[@thebluescaptain]

Single Player games don't offer continuity unless you're a speedrunner that keeps trying new things. You might like Resident Evil or Outlast, but by the 3rd replay you'd already know where/when whose/which enemies are going your way. Yes, maybe Hardest mode would force you to replay several times, but I don't think you'd have to restart the entire game as you already saved your progress. Same cases in terms of From Software games like Dark Souls or Sekiro.

[@Rageren]

@@thebluescaptain That's not true at all. It's all about a game's replay value. Obvious if you play a game that has a one time replay value, then yes you'll get bored after the first playthrough. Most single player games like: DOOM Eternal, Skyrim, Devil May Cry, God of War, etc., all have high replay value and I myself have replayed each one of those games over 4 times at least. Single player games are the way to go man, especially now. Games were never made to be played forever. Once you feel like you've done all you can with one game, move on to the next. And when enough time passes maybe pick up the game again of you like. Single player games are still great.

[@thebluescaptain]

@@Rageren Goes back to personal taste yes, but pvp games are replayable not because the game is fun. I mean, of course the game is fun hence they dedicate themselves playing it, but after technical stuffs they look for something, which is competition. Most of the people enjoy PVP games, or Single Player, BUT open world like GTA Offline. Again, in terms of DMC, RE, etc, the most common ones are speedrunners who're basically PVP players as they try to break records of other people, and memes enjoyer. In terms of Devil May Cry, combo records and highest endless palace floor. Again, beside speedrunners almost nobody would repeat Outlast over and over again, unless they're looking for easter eggs, actually learning the documents, or looking some screenshot materials for memeing purpose.

And the fact that people are just getting much more skilled and arnt chill for the game. Games were meant to be fun and chill and for enjoyment. But the fact people are taking these games much more seriously its not worth the time trying to play. The fact that my mum also only allowed me to play on weekends felt like rewards because it was only allowed on a special occasion, and if I was allowed to play everyday, it would not have felt like something I worked for and was just another thing that happens.

Games are a lot like music. If you listen to the same song for 2,000 hours, no matter how much you love the song, you will wish to hear something else. A single music genre can last a lot longer, but after a decade of only pop or rap or country or metal you will begin to get tired. This doesn’t mean you don’t love the music, or that it’s boring or ‘worse’ now, you just have been burnt out of it.

[@Skumtomten1]

With music, there is an incredible amount of variety for you, tons of different genres with great quality in each if you search for it. Games are not the same, if you like RTS games for example, Starcraft 2 was the last great AAA RTS game made, there are no good modern options. Modern developers mostly focus on multiplayer games, especially fps games and they take no risks anymore, so it is a very stale industry. It's a good comparison to music though, mainstream music is trash, and the mainstream AAA games aren't trash but very average at best, focusing on what generates the most sales, trying to reach as many as possible. The industry has matured, developers have figured out the most optimal formulas for games that maximize sales and revenue with the least amount of work and cost. The phase of experimentation, innovation and excitement is over.

[@ChicaneMedia]

Good analogy but that's not really the main reason. People that play games nowadays only care about stats and being the best. Back in the day people actually knew how to have fun, talk shit, overall have a good time with someone on the mic and laugh about it. That is very uncommon these days due to the fact that social media and stigma that you need to be the best of the best and only that

I used to despise rap, but its grown on me. Sometimes you just have to switch things up. Doing the same thing every day will make you go crazy.

[@osorioace]

I think there are 3 main issues. One is a lack of dedication due to endless choice. We all didn't have much choice (back in the 90's, early 2000's) in what we bought so we stuck to the games. Even replayed them multiple times. We had more patience. Now you open up steam and have a million games to play at once. This happens with movies too. I remember watching Toy Story a billion times due to not having much else. No sometimes I can't even start any movies due to Netflix having a million movies. Second is I think gamers tend to only play video games. As in, in terms of general entertainment media. For me once I'm tired of gaming for the day, I read a book, watch a show, read manga, listen through albums. This leads to not feeling like all my free time having to go to games. Thirdly, is having a narrow scope in terms of taste. I have plenty of friends that only play the popular multiplayer games. I'm glad this is not me because I can enjoy the game design/stories of JRPG's, platformers, horror games, stealth games, adventure games, metroidvania. My favorite games of all time are from a variety of era's, genres and atmosphere.

[@KratostheThird]

I mostly agree with this. But the reason I don't bother with a lot of movies anymore is because like with games, they are using copy and paste. Toy Story was a major step forward in the animated movie industry. The first full blown CGI title starring Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear. The sequel was also pretty good. I miss the days when Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty & the Beast were shattering box office records. The 1990s was considered the renaissance of western animation, particularly Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs that took elements from those real old vintage Looney Tune cartoons your great grandparents watched in the 1940s and 1950s. Even animated movies with a far lower budget like A Goofy Movie and live action films with some CGI like Casper had their own quirks. Today, Hollywood has lost all originality. How many times are they going to try to reboot Star Wars? Spider-Man himself already has a reboot. DC is trying to revitalize Batman. So what, the Dark Knight Trilogy not good enough? Star Trek isn't immune to the reboot treatment either. Look at what Hollywood did to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. Look at what they basically did to He-Man, an 80s cartoon that many middle aged people today practically grew up with. It falls right in line with gaming today. Your friends are watching the popular superhero movies just like they're playing the popular multiplayer games. Fortnite and Overwatch. GTA Online. In the 1990s I rented Sonic the Hedgehog 3 more times than I can bother to count. You had to go to Blockbuster to rent the game, or pay a good amount of money which most kids didn't have. That is why we had more patience because the technology just wasn't there. Today my niece and nephew are gobbling up shows on Netflix and playing on their parents Nintendo Switch at a much faster rate than I was ever able to do when I was their age.

@@KratostheThird I disagree, some of the best games I've ever played are from the last 5/6 years and I play game since NES, Psychonauts 2 is in my top 3 games of my life and it's from 2021, maybe you just need to try other genres or play more indies, some indies are experiences that no AAA could give to you. I can't say much about movies because I never was someone that watched a lot of them, but game still have a lot of fresh and good ideas (mainly within indies). In my 25 years, almost 26, of life I play games since I can remember, never had a year that I stopped with them, some times I do get bored of games and do other things, that's normal, but I always come back, since indie games started be a thing, every year I always find some game that make me incredible happy of be playing it

I haven’t been having too much fun with games up until school started again. I feel like because of school, the drive to play games has increased. I’ve been playing lbp3 with some friends since the servers came back up and I’ve been having an amazing time (despite the game looking very childish).

Bro that game is great I remember playing it years ago on the ps3. Good memories.

I knew the same would happen to me. I hate school, but it makes playing video games a lot more enjoyable when you come home after sitting and doing nothing all day. In the summer with all the free time in the world it gets boring playing games or even doing anything sometimes

As someone who grew up playing games in the 2010’s and onwards, something that was completely sobering was playing older games that came before I was old enough to appreciate them or even play them period. I just completed the OG FF7 and it was a fantastic experience, even just to remind me how far we’ve progressed to reach modern day storytelling and gameplay.

I used to have so much fun playing with my dinky cars and playing in the dirt… it’s literally the same thing with how as we grow older we lose interest in things, it’s not necessarily the game, but rather it’s ourselves growing older. Now OF COURSE this will not apply to all but to me it sure does.

[@KratostheThird]

The games have also changed as we grow older. Most games now are marketed to the younger generation, NOT US. Those of us who played GTA San Andreas and Halo back in the day are grown ups approaching middle age with families, jobs and responsibilities. Nothing lasts forever. Even guys like James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd) and PewDiePie have changed over the years. What they make now is far different and likely catering to a different audience than when they were first starting out.
