Why I Stopped Loving Multiplayer Games
Переглядів 1,9 тис.14 днів тому
Online Multiplayer Games are a great way to connect with friends, to have fun and build long lasting memories. But they also have the chance to be a waste of time, they can block your creativity and make you lose your love for gaming. In this video I explain how my love for multiplayer gaming faded away and how it influenced my gaming experience for the better. Enjoy it! (This is a reupload bec...

Why Competitive Games Are So Addictive

Have you ever thought to yourself "just one more game", only to realize hours later that you are still playing? Well, I did it a lot during my teens. Even today, I sometimes struggle with competitive games. I can't stop playing them, even though I don't enjoy them. But why is that so? Why is competitive gaming so addicting?

True words👍
@ Thanks bro 🙂
This is quite an interesting watch. Because for me, I never put my "gaming time" around my friends. Never really saw the appeal of online multiplayer games because for me, that feels like putting something first before the game. And as time went, I just saw that more and more things are put first before the games; online requirements, in-game monetization, compelling story and themes, epic set-pieces and production values. So many games today, especially the big mainstream ones, seems to be build to do everything in its power to be anything else but _BE A VIDEOGAME._ It's why I find better options by opting out of mainstream ones; AA honest-to-goodness budget titles(which are usually of eastern european origin), indie games, freeware(as in GNU-GPL) games, and old games. And why I further see less appeal with online multiplayer games; games are meant for me, and games are meant to engage and entertain me, not the other way around. So in turn, I never felt the pressure to chase the zeitgeist, nor the obligation of peers in gaming...that's why gaming still feels the same for me; *_FUN_*
Thanks for your comment! Thats really interesting because it pretty much sums up my other videos, where I talk about enjoying single player games more and more. Have a look at them if you like :)
Warum hast du nur 118 Followers?! Es ist verrückt! Dein Inhalt ist erstklassig!
Danke!
Damn seeing that your friends haven't logged in in years really hit home. It'll never be the same as back in the days unfortunately.
Yeah😅
Gaming doesn't feel different now. These videos are always the same dumb points. The reasons are always either something super personal that can't apply to others, not having time, or because they just play the same 2 online multiplayer games nonstop instead of something different. If you really can't schedule with your friends to play together try some single-player games you will not regret it and get the same old feeling again.
Did you really watch this video or did you jump on the hate bandwagon for this video style because someone had a really successful rantvideo about it? I totally get where you are coming from, many people love to drool in their memories and be like "oh back in the day it was just more fun". Thats the reason why I intentionally did not title this video "why gaming is not fun anymore". Because it still is. But it's different. I dont know who you think you are that you think you can judge how someone else feels about something. Its good for you if gaming still has this kid-like sensation, but I don't really understande the negative tone. And when I look through the comments, there are so many people relating to what I've said. So I don't really know where your "oh its super personal" comes from. At the end, I think we are not that much different in our views. Many of my other videos explain how I switched to singleplayer games and started to love gaming again. So no hard feelings from my side if this is just a misunderstanding :)
@AGamersPlaceYT watched the full thing
im sory bro, but your friends have kids, and you play kids games, see the difference
no need to apologize, I am not complaining, just expressing my feelings :)
Ngl, even tho I’m only 13, I’ve moved around a lot and can completely relate to this, my first console was an old Xbox 360 and I still remember the first time I played halo (halo 4 to be exact) and it will never be the same
Enjoy the next few years my man💪
@ thx bro
I met a dude on cs when i was 14 who became part of our group which was all made up of people we knew in real life. After 2 years we find out i played him in a game of rugby when we were kids. Jacks gone now.
I always find it great to realize you have met people online that live close to you. I had a local friend who shared the same league tag in his name like me (so did 20 others), but one time a random dude in Rocket League called me out for that because his school friend has it as well. Turns out he was living in the city where I was going to school and he's now the goalkeeper in my soccer team
thansk for the memories, it will never be the same, but it will always makes us remember the good old days
thats true!
good video, thanks youtube algorithm
Thanks :)
I totally feel you
😅
You grow up I guess. The last time I had this feeling was during covid, we were all in our mid 20s, at the point where we've all started our careers, some have even already married. But for those sweet few months of lockdown, when everybody was inside, we all hopped back in our discord and we played Valheim, Among us, Minecraft, counter-strike, like we were all teenagers again. Now everybody is back with their lives, we haven't gamed as much since
Yeah, its mostly the same for me
We all grew up and started working , grinding irl, remember that and never stop gaming , even if it’s one match of cod before bed :)
yeah sometimes that little kid in us wins over and just lets us have fun for a few rounds :)
i still play osrs on my days off. its nostalgia bro. what a sad drug like feeling. make new friends. its hard. my childhood friend madis from estonia on runescape still logs in every couple months. hes got 2 kids n works his butt off. we still message eachother like hey remember when we were wcing vines in fally or remember when you let me go pking on ur account n we got d claws. good ole memories of a friendship during times that were really hard. years n years of them.
Love to hear that story :)
bruh people grow up. ur friends meet girls have kids or life hits n you gotta work 10 hours a day somewhere u hate to even have internet. we grew up and grew apart, thats normal. ya evolve as you age. people change in that process, wait till ur 30 man youll be sickened by people you once considered brothers. ya just change keep rollin n meet new people along the way. edit: after watching the whole vid. i kinda stated the obvious huh. grreat video man the qaulity on ur mic is perfect n the storytelling kept me watchin. great job
Thanks man, yes, we feel pretty same about it haha ;D
banger vid dude!
Thank you!
Beautiful video.
Thanks :)
because lefties took over gaming and killed it
68 subs and bro drops a BANGER. Yiu earned a sub and a constant viewer ❤️
Thank you!
66 subs and you randomly pop up on my feed with this banger to put tears into my eyes as I remembered all those times as you spoke on about yours. Absolutely insane what nostalgia does, thankfully I still speak to a lot of my friends over Discord from those days but there's a lot of days where I am sitting here watching UA-cam like I am now and wishing for someone to come online so I can even bring myself to boot up a game and at least have someone to talk to. Growing up sucks like that but it has given me other beautiful things in life too. None the less, awesome video, really heartfelt.
Thank you so much!
Space Marine 2 has given me that feeling again
Thats great, heavn't heard about that game before😅
@AGamersPlaceYT really? It's one of the best games of 2024 and the devs even called it a throwback to the early 2010s
@@DaOideRassl I'll take a look at it, thanks for the tip :)
Funny you post this, i am moving to germany in a few months, and i think gaming will be my only outlet for communication with friends. Its been an important way to talk with friends after moving schools and neighborhoods
Yeah, gaming is great to connect with friends far away
You mentioned you and your friends almost constantly in this video. That's because friends are one of the MAIN elements in having fun. As a kid, we aren't concerned with as much as we are now, so we were never as picky about who we spent time with as long as we were having a good time. It was just simpler, and we naturally pivot more towards people we've spent time with rather than those we have the most in common with. That time spent together gives us more in common than we could ever have otherwise anyway.
Maybe, but you know what also was the MAIN element for having fun? In-game progression. Something that a lot of games lack these days, unless is p2w. Having that constant feel of progression, times when, good skin = grind in game...
Yes exactly, friendship is so important
Reason old games used to be good it’s because they were completed and not rushed, also you could have fun and do challenges like Black Ops Zombies stay alive much you can, now new games feel stressful, don’t miss out battle pass, oh no don’t miss out events, oh no you need to ditch ur job for this game cuz it’s a game that makes you work like a job to grind.. don’t forget things you should have but are label as micro transactions
old games were good because they were made by White guys
Yeah, thats true, probably a topic for a future video
It's so fucking over
😅
Great video!
Thanks!
It’s so sad how accurate this is.
😅
WATCH THIS GO VIRAL
I hope you're right haha ;D
I legit thought you were another UA-camr with thousands of subs, you're mad underrated keep up the great work and professional videos 👍👍
Thanks so much dude! :)
@AGamersPlaceYT ay no problem bro!
Me when ive been playing videos games all my life and its starting to get boring
Hey man great video, keep grinding.
Thank you Steven!
Great video and definitely relatable for me right now. Out of interest, are you German?
Thanks! Yes haha
I found your channel today and I kinda got hooked. I've watched through all your videos on this channel now. Your videos invoke a strange feeling of nostalgia in me.and make me remember my childhood. Keep up the great work. I'll make sure to watch any new uploads. :)
Thank you very much, thats very motivationg to hear :)
Amazing video. I went on a walk and just listened to the video. I found myself relating so much. Thanks.
Thanks!
Someone share this man's channel he needs more subs
Thank you my man!
I've felt like this for a while. You really just put all my thoughts on the table. Me and my friends usually played league until we got tired of it after years and years of raging over bs. Two of them still play it unfortunately. Gotta show them this to put them out of their misery HAHAHAH
Haha feel free to share the video, I always love to help by just sharing my own thoughts :)
have you heard of helldivers
I heard of it, but never played it myself - would you recommend it?
@@AGamersPlaceYT very much
Amazing small channel, love your style, dropped a sub 😊 Keep it up!!
Thank you!
u just havent played hunt showdown
You're right, I haven't ;D
I always felt the same but failed to address why but now I know this video describes it 100%... Exactly how I feel and even tho time got less as we all grew older sometimes there happens this special moment where the old band gets back together for a few hours and it's just as awesome as it used to be even if it only happens every other month!
So happy to hear that you and your mates still have fun together!
Thats a very valid video, the minecraft part hits hard, i only enjoy modded minecraft, you get tech, magic and so many building mods. I love building mega bases, castles, magic towers, building massiv whole bioms fitting my building. All my friend play for 1-2 weeks, play 2-3 Mods and want to tell me that from 400+ Mods, there aint a single one they want to play, they build underground not bother with building something that fits all those modded setups and factorys and make it look good. Every game hype only stays for a few weeks, palworld etc were called dead just 2 months later because everyone buys a game, spends 100h in them where they abuse every bug und min/max everything to maximum efficiency to play less of the game? I miss those times when i was gaming as a kid, playing games, not knowing what i have to do but finding out. I spend 4 years playing need for speed underground 2 as a kid and didnt even finish it because i spend so much time just driving around only doing few races in between. Gaming feels draining, its hard to enjoy something when it feels rushed because the next game is right around the corner that everyone will be playing while i still sit in minecraft building some roof.
Thanks for your comment, I 100% agree with you! Especially games like Minecraft aren't meant to be grinded. I actually talked a lot more about these things in the first two videos on my channel, feel free to check them out :)
im not going to lie, this was eye opening to me completely, ive recently started downloading a bunch of free/single player game, yes i do play multiplayer games but ive become so detatched from life itself that i literally work come home and do nothing but watch shows or game, why you may ask, my excuse "im not a people person" i am just where i live, if you aint in a group you dont fit in anywhere else, so most of my time is spent on US servers with friends over there, its not been fun or healthy but i do completely agree with you here, if possible id gladly take a small list or a big one of single player games you would reccomend
Thanks for your comment! Definitely feel your words mate... What genres are you typically interested in? For me personally, I used many of the games most people play online (like Formula 1, EAFC/Fifa/Minecraft) and just played them in singleplayer. But lately I loved playing Transport Fever 2, and this whole genre of (city) building games seems pretty fun. Manor Lords, the Total War series and strategic games are also great for singleplay. And of course the genre of storygames, which I personally rarely play, so I cant really recommend anything besides GTA - but remember, it can also be fun to to back to older games to enjoy gaming again :)
@@AGamersPlaceYT ill have to give them a look at, i can be picky when playing games but its always nice to get recomendations, and dw oldergames are still around for me jesus i still play the original binding of issac and the old tomb raider games, i still do have a love for few multiplayer games, but its cause i dont take it seriously, i feel like if i actually tried or tried to "sweat" id lose all intrest for em, like i used to post content for rainbowsix, but i stopped and deleted everything cause it made it a job and not something i can have fun with
@@minixharvey3025 yeah, making gaming a chore (either by grinding or by making content of it) can be very exhausting. I almost ruined Minecraft for me this way when I was a kid
I have a problem of doing 1 mission in rdr2 and logging off to play something else or logging off entirely 🤣🤣 Never finished rdr2, currently at around 30% in the story
Do you know why it happens? Do you enjoy rdr2 in general?
@AGamersPlaceYT i love playing rdr2, i get fully immersed at times. I think it's the early game fetch me quests that bore me. I had to look up how to get the fastest horse from where i am in the story to try and get to quests faster haha Im at the part in Rhodes where there's a heist coming up against both families of the Grey's and Braithwaites
@@itsx_1308 Yeah that could be the issue, I often feel the same in games with changing tasks that if you dislike one aspect of the game, it can take the whole fun away, even if you enjoy it
Lovely video but so wierd to hear perfect english and all the stuff in the games beeing deutsch
Haha, glad you enjoyed it :)
Good stuff bro
Thanks!
This helped me so much Thanks pro
Happy to help :)
NIcely said. I can relate with your story on choosing dinner.
Thank you! :)
This helped me so much. Thank you for speaking on this.. ❤
Glad you like it :)
*Splinter Cell Double Agent had me HOOKED from 2007 to 2011 😂 and I still dabble in it to this day. Search & Destroy on MW2 was another one. Rocket Launcher matches in GTA4 🙌 BLUR, Burnout Revenge, NBA Live 09, Backbreaker, Saints Row 3....that whole 4 year period was just the pinnacle of greatness for online gaming.*
I remember my dad playing Splinter Cell, that game just came a little too early for me ;D Oh what I would give to experience the early MW2 days in mutiplayer again, that game together with friends was just great :)
They really really addictive. Ill say it like it is : i bet my worth on a match, if i win im better if i loose im worhtless trash. If someone can take competetive games easy, good for you. Im not one of you, i cant, i gotta be better than everybody or dont be at all. Thats why im slowly migrating to single player. If a game is 30-40% blood, sweat and tears and other is fun, its not worht it for me. Youre right, in competetive games enjoyment dissipates pretty quick, its about kill or be killed, win at any cost. Because otherwise its pure humiliation. The game becomes more stressful than life itself. There is this game Cyberpunk, i replayed it 5 times already. Its a great example how a single player game can be great. Co op online games could be allright too.
Yeah I 100% get what you mean, it is really hard to play competitive games without getting emotional. Actually, I also made a video on my own migration towards single player games. If you are interested, you can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/O8x3buy74X0/v-deo.html
