To anyone who play only singleplayer/co-op/PvE center'd games

How do you keep to one type of genre? How do you not get burnt out or bored of it? I ask cause I always preferred this type of game due to not needing to try as hard in a game and not compete to win.

Say for example, I play a few hours of Risk of Rain 2 and then get bored doing a few runs so I will pop on to a PvP game to try and mix it up a bit. Even though I am not as good as I use to I still play for fun, yet I know a lot of people do not really touch a lot of PvP games these days (from my perspective anyway).

I play a few PvP games myself but I know my preferences and yet I still question on how some can play a genre for so long without getting bored and/or maybe mix things up. Any answer regarding this is much appreciated and will help me further understand this.

There must be something you want.. for pvp it's a rank icon, for pve it's maybe items and upgrades. Gaming is basically a system designed to capture your attention. If you're bored it means the game has limited content to draw your attention.

I've pretty much cut out all PVP oriented multiplayer games in the way you've described. SP, PvE, Co-Op, etc are all I play now. Although, I do occasionally jump into PVP if I need to do it for a challenge/achievement, or simply want to give it a chance once in a while (Never usually works out.)

The trick to keeping to the SP aspect is a mix of your personal taste leaning towards solo-play and finding a game to sink time into. Skyrim, RDR2, GTA V, open world games with great detail and content are really the best investments. You can lose yourself in Fallout 3, NV and even 4, making the character who you 'imagine' them to be and then playing accordingly. I personally like games where I can relax and do as I want. No time limit, no linear path, no need to get a million kills or carry some random teammates if they can't pull their weight. Most importantly, no having to put up with the utter morons who frag you in the most unfair, one-sided ways.

I have LOVED multiplayer games in the past. CoD:Waw, BF3/4, etc etc. However, the tryhards of the modern gaming age have completely ruined it for me. People who use the lamest ways to succeed, sweating hard and obsessing to be the best. Gamers nowadays aren't laughing when they play a game, trying to find cool and fun ways to die or get kills. They're hunched over, angry, lonely and miserable and obsessively trying to be the best and ruining the entire multiplayer scene as they do.

The best multiplayer experience I've ever, ever had? Halo 3 back on Xbox live from 2007-2011. It's still, to this day, the best online gaming I will ever experience. Screw matchmaking. It's all about the fun custom games that encourage fun, not climbing over eachother to get a high kill count.

More and more people are ditching PVP games and I say good. The atmosphere in these matches absolutely suck and it turns the game from something to lose yourself in, have fun and chill with the bois into a monotonous competition where even the winner gets absolutely nothing of value but a shiny rank made of pixels on a screen.

I don't think I could have said anything better, you gave such great advice for something like this and I ultimately thank you for that advice! I am definitely taking that into consideration with all and many others here have said :D

For me, there's only a couple genres I never touch, RTS (because I'm too stupid to play them :P) and turn-based RPG's, although there are some exceptions, like Yakuza 7. Personally I "retired" from multiplayer years ago. I used to love MMO's and competitive shooters, but often times playing my way either pisses people off, or I have a hard time keeping up, and I don't want to bring a whole team down because I'm inept. Nowdays just opt for short and sweet singleplayer games I can play repeatedly and once in a while an engaging open world to get lost in, and I can play at my own pace.

Solo player here! Even when a team of four or more are needed, I'd still solo the mission and have more fun than coop. I don't mind PvP but it gets repetitive to me more than single since I can change the gameplay.

I don't keep to one genre. There are many different genres of singleplayer games.

the weird things is when I hear peoples complain solo games are too repetitive when in fact a lot's of pvp games are just even more repetitive ... I mean even if each players has a different tactic and way of playing the overall experience from matches to matches in a lot's of pvp games will be the exact same thing.

Sometime it's even worst because you can have a game with a tons of maps but peoples will keep voting the same maps and it's often lead to game where you play one map over and over for hours.
