@uninspiredcup: lol I did kinda like the first ac creed also because I was really in to the prince of persia games, but those games were actually challenging.

The second was not bad because of how they depicted certain monuments, but they lost me with all the variations on the second one , three was kinda weird, it started of nicely with that theatre but after that it went downhill fast.

Black flag had something, but yeah stale gameplay again.

Unity was so well done I didn't care much for gameplay but that was 2014, I tried odyssey once and got bored quickly, got bored with any far cry after the second as well.

Ubi is really everything what is wrong with gaming today, but back in 2013 they released spartacus, it was one of the best fighting games I ever played, by one of their smaller studios. I'm still baffled why they haven't made something similar again, I had a blast with that game.

It depends on how I get in sync with the gameplay mechanics. Some games feel more natural to play to some rather than others depending on how much it "makes sense" to your brain. Of course you have to give it some effort until everything falls into place and becomes muscle memory and intuition. If it's one of those games then I'll dig into it and revel in that aspect. That's the type of game that makes me keep wanting to come back and replay.

If it isn't one of those games then I try to get into other aspects of it and do the best I can, but I don't expressly try to hone my effectiveness, I just try to have fun and enjoy myself. There's level design, music, atmosphere, scenario, characters, many things to enjoy even if you don't try to become an expert at the gameplay.

I don't care about competitive multiplayer but I do like VR multiplayer because of the social aspect. It's enjoyable just to be present in the game world among others and be able to gesture and communicate through more than just speech, and where the physical aspect comes into play, like actually spying around corners, ducking back, holding your gun out and blind firing, everyone joking around and bulls***. That s*** is f***ing amazing. It really feels like playing and not just gaming.

yeah I can't seem to find a proper vr multiplayer game, apart from chess, and even that is hard to find. Dead and buried wasn't all too bad though, but since I need teleport otherwise I get sick, I don't think I have much options.

I could stomach lone echo though but not too long.

@commander: Quake 2/3, Starcraft, Overwatch

I'm an "old timer" but not over the hill yet.

I dont think you necessarily lose reflexes as you get older (within reason), but just like physical fitness, if you dont stay trained and keep things sharp, stuff starts to slip.

ah , I was a pretty good unreal player, the first one and ut 99, not that 2003/2004 crap. Quake 2/3 was a bit too fast for me if I recall correctly.

Never was really good in starcraft, always got carried away in building and then got swarmed, I'm not bad at the first dawn of war though.

I think I'd like overwatch, I kinda liked paladins and I heard its just an overwatch clone.

I believe that most people complaining about having shitty reflexes (or just being bad at games) when they reach ~30 has more to do with the low amount of time invested in each game because of more responsabilities like family, work, etc. Nolife that shit like a Korean, and it will change🙃

you would be surprised how fast you need to be to to be a good fps player, I was a pretty good unreal player in my younger days, and even in call of duty I sometimes dominated games, I can't see myself doing that anymore, even with my best intentions.

It feels like I'm about to have a seizure when I play an fps game for longer than a couple of hours nowadays.

Multiplayer gaming was always about value, not skill, for me. You can play a multiplayer-focused game for thousands of hours and, when you get paid $10/hr, that's a great value.

With that said, it's definitely fun to play online games where people are skilled and know what to do, on both sides of your team. Challenge is great, losing is educational, and winning feels earned rather than simply endured.

now that I have a good job, however, I can actually afford to buy games that I get <50 hours out of, and I enjoy them. Might just be because I work hard and I am stressed out all the time, but I prefer to spend my time with a nice sandbox city builder than some arena shooter like I used to.

cities skyline, my brother plays that a lot, I never was into sim games though, I need some action and competition.

You would be surprised how many laid back multiplayer games there are , world of warships for instance or magic. A lot of these games are also fun because you can be busy with a lot of management , like with warships tweaking your ships, or just grinding for ships.

I’m pretty average at best competitively in games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears of War. Very below average in games like Forza. I play a lot of fighting games but mostly just the arcade and story modes against the CPU. Play sometimes online but am mostly a low tier casual. Lately I play co-op online in games like Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, and horde mode in Gears of War. Have got pretty good in those ones especially Monster Hunter games.

yeah i kinda gave up on monster hunster since the people that play it are xbox friends and I still have a base xboxone, and that version just ain't very good, it's a blurfest actually.

@commander: I should probably give FIFA a try. I have never played a soccer video game but used to play a lot in real life so I'd probably enjoy it

fifa is a great game, and the ultimate team mode is highly addictive. The reason I got into it is because they remade all old players, like pele, raul, maradona, figo, zidane, too much to say , they have about a 100 of these players, and they really are animated like they used to play.

of course different versions of fifa do cater certain playstyles better, but if you were a fan of a certain player in thepast, you'll a have blast playing with them, especially when you can use their strengths to your advantage.

the learning curve for ultimate team is not easy though, not as much in playing, I can teach you that in no time to be somewhat competetive, but setting up your team and finding what works best for you is a very steep learning curve.

Still there are numerous divisions so you get matched up with people of your own level, and you can also grind your way to your ultimate team with single player games, but fut champions is a league where everyone meets each other, and that also gives the highest rewards, and by that also more options to better your team, or just make a more fun team, it's not all about winning, sometimes it's just about style.

I mostly play NHL and Battlefield and I play them a lot. I am pretty good at both games. I play to win, but I want to have fun while doing so. I don't focus on continuing to get better as I know I am not going to reach an elite level. I just play a lot because I enjoy it.

yeah battlefield is defenitely more tactical than other shooters, and not as frantic as call of duty for instance.

I suppose nhl is like we have fifa in europe, do you play the ultimate team thing
