I have a big problem with internal validation. This makes most singleplayer experiences pretty meaningless to me. Antidepressants help, but only to an extent.

As a kid/teen, I only wanted to do online pvp. As I’ve gotten a bit older, I’ve found a lot not enjoyment out of coop. There’s still some competition, like dps charts in a raid, but it’s mostly the feeling of overcoming a challenge as a team that I look for now.

And as others have said, online coop is king. Love me some asymmetrical puzzle games.

I mostly prefer single player games myself, but I've been addicted to the online multiplayer game Enlisted for the past couple of years.

Well when I was a teenager I liked pvp games. Now I don't. I assume when they're adults some of them will feel the same, probably

after i encountered more teens and kids in onlines one day i gave up, it never changed even as i tried to dabble in some again here and there

I enjoy pvp games that I'm talented at. If I'm not good at something I tend to get down when I keep losing. Pvp is just really hard and bottles that feeling of helplessness.

I used to have the time to be good at PvP games. I used to have the reflexes too. Then I got older and PvP games left me behind, so I left them behind. Turning 40 this year

I don't play many FPS games full stop. The ones I did play added a bunch of elements I didn't like (Destiny, Overwatch, etc). Since they don't make up the predominant portion of games I play, I can't say it's surprising to me.

Others have complained about the number of "mouth breathing kids" and I can't really fault them for that. The number of people in online games with no filters, who play loud music, or have family drama going on around them on hot mic is too high. The number of people who are rude or worse is also too high.

There's something, though, to be said for the kinds of games that are just more popular because they encourage a story and or exploration or both.
