In this video, we'll be discussing the problem with competitive games and why some people may want to quit.
Some people may be struggling with the competitive environment of some video games, and may want to quit in order to return to a more relaxed gaming experience. In this video, we'll be discussing the reasons why some people may want to quit competitive games. I'll also create my own plan to escape the vicious cycle of them.
I was planning on also making a Video essay based on a similar topic, let me know if you'd like to see that.
Obviously you can just play for fun too, also I was sick so I sound like shit in this
Results?
@@noxemistirpze4843 Alot happened since i post this fr. The vid is coming soon though, ill let you know
on gawd quitting Val and Ow was the best decision of my life
Hmm just curious, but what do you do with your time now? Spend it all irl, or are there games you play at your own pacing
@@Hiro7445- as for me, I started playing Genshin, War Thunder and singleplayer games
@@kasten2005 And how's that going for you? Also, are there any health/time improvements compared to before?
@@Hiro7445- mental health is significantly better, that's for sure. But otherwise I wouldn't say it's any better. It doesn't need to
I can confirm
I quit playing competitive when I got done with MK11. So much negativity online. Feels nice to play a game that doesn't feel so tense and taken seriously
I was also the type of guy to be a multiplayer fanativ for the past 4-5 years in games like: Fortnite, R6, Overwatch, Rocket League, CSGO and Valorant. It does create soma highs and lows like u said in gaming but I feel like at times when these were my main types of games, I would want to stay away from the computer. I guess I needed more of an EXPERIENCE, than a competitive sport.
Then Epic Games saved me by letting me claim Fallout New Vegas for free. Over the past 2 months Ive put over 62 hours in that game and also around 11 hours in Fallout 4 and Skyrim combined, Ive become a lot more interested in singleplayer games. New Vegas is an experience I trully recommend to anyone due to the roleplaying, story, setting and the decisions you can make. Now I can still enjoy Val and CS at times but I can balance it out with other types of games which is a lot healthier IMO.
fallout new vegas is worse than competitive multiplayer games. want proof? you put 62 hrs in it and you've already become the guy who brings it up constantly. it happens to EVERYBODY bro 🤣
Thank you. This video changed my life. I have now quit all competitve games and only play newer super mario bros wii and dark souls 2: scholar of the first sin. Thank you again Sauxce.
The goals are a part of it and for me personally it does help with the career I’m going for within the esports industry, but what I love most about competitive games, even without the career goal, is the atmosphere. You’re talking to your teammates coordinating your way towards a common goal. Even if you lose, as long as they’re not blatantly throwing, it’s still fun pulling things off. All it takes is one good play to make a loss worth it. It also brings back the good days when everyone used a mic in pubs compared to now where no one talks aside from that one kid with the fan going on in the background. I love single player games too, but I can’t get an experience like that out of them.
Was surprised to see this video doesn't have more views, very professional and captivating thumbnail, very interesting topic and takes. Very pleasing to listen too. keep it up
Appreciate that
I think the main problem with competive games is honestly the people who play them. Most people are try hards so if you lose one game they get mad and it throws off your whole vibe. i can take losing at least 3 games before needing a break(unless its valorant then its 2 becuase the matches are long asf). And honestly r6 is the only game with good ranked rewards. Getting new charms each season is cool espesially since the higher ranked ones are more then just a color change. they usually glow or have an effect. Wish valorant would do what r6 does.
I respect the experiment. Although if I could make one "critic" I have is making the period of time for the experiment a little longer the next time you do it (if you ever do this again). like maybe a month ?
I participated in competitive games from 2008 to 2021. Honestly, the primary reason I quit was the prevalence of cheating today.
If I could have the 2009 to 2015 ecosystem back I'd probably still be playing.
i respect that, many games are packed with cheaters now
@@sauxce It's so tiring to second guess every other death. Cheaters have gotten really good at hiding it.
@@mitchlovesmusic5663 yea facts a lot of it looks real now, and few games have decent anti-cheat
i just got really high elo in league of legends and started thinking about my life...
I just deleted the game and will only play singleplayer games. Thanks for the video
Single Player gamer to multiplayer gamer:
“Wow, sucks to be you.”
Translated by Google:
My problem with FPS and shooters is that if you are a newbie or have no experience in the genre, you will never get used to it or be happy because to play this type of game you have to have requirements that are crucial and that are unattainable:
Have experience in using different types of weapons, which are all of them.
Know ideal complex strategies and tactics
Having communication, the problem is that no one communicates and language matters a lot.
Manage ammunition so you don't spend it all.
Have survival skills.
Have game modes and maps memorized.
Correctly use all types of gadgets and gadgets, which are all of them.
Know how to defend yourself from rivals.
Have fine aim.
Take responsibility for your team and objectives
As you see a high peak of requirements that you will not learn naturally or daily because you will die constantly.
I stayed with multiplayer racing games because you don't need as many requirements to play as FPS games because the only requirements you need are:
Know how to drive correctly.
Have the tracks memorized.
Know how to stop.
Manage tires (in simulators)
great vid and great talking point, deserves more attention imo
to be honest i play competitive games. i dont care about the competitive system tho. i just want to have fun and destroy worse players. and thats it. The games can be fun without you being competitive or trying to reach a certain rank
im gonna try this. lately competitive games have not been fun. I think i will only play competitive games with friends from now on, screw solo queue.
I strongly suggest a game called Fantasy Life on the 3DS I gave my brother an old 2DS and he quit his clash of clans and Valorant addiction and replaced it with fantasy life I love the game and its not addictive. Also some other good games are OMORI, Paper Mario the Thaosand Year Door, Sonic Heroes, Bug Fables, OneShot, Born of Bread, Bullet Hell Monday Black, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Zelda the Wind Waker HD and Geometry Dash. Ive had the most fun playing those games in my 20 or so years of gaming. Most of the games I mentioned were obscure or old media that no one talks about thats why you probably never heard of them.
These games are the best you just may have never heard of them. Play these games they are my favourites.
bet bet bet
competitive games gives you stress,and stress is bad for heart, stress also causes the cancer, you missing alot of good games and dont knows the taste of having fun and enjoying the life.
Thought about quitting comp games for quite a while now... guess imma do a seven day break aswell and compare it to your results.
I think you should drop valorant and overwatch for the experiment cause even though you aren't playing competitively it's still the same game at its core with the same issues you would probably have in the competitive modes, I do like the concept though and looking forward to see how you manage the time spent outside of cs:go and the other games you're dropping!
good video, i will not stop playing competitive games, i love that high of being good at the game, its like drugs but worse.
also Overwatch's team-work thing is literally like taking antidepressants with alcohol, I CANNOT STOP
i just love comp (aka suffering lol)
overwatch is easily the most annoying game for me to play out of all them lmfao. But nah i feel you
@@sauxce i LOVE overwatch but i can definitely see why especially coming from a valorant player. overwatch isnt about being really clutch or having really good moments, its about making your best moments every moment, constantly, if you want to rank up. thats mainly dps tho
i play compettive games cuz i like working to improve and playing inna competitive enviornment. i thinks its all about balance like ive been playing spiderman and the mk1 story and they're really fun. i also never tie my ego to my competitive rank or games. i play to improve and have fun and losing/doing bad is just part of the game.
Im thinking about quitting because i dont seem to win a single match anymore on any multiplayer games im too much overwhelmed all the time, now i can barely shoot my gun in time or even move around, i feel like a god damn pinyata in a target practice in a funfair
The reword in competitive activities comes from the satisfaction of getting better. You don't need rewards in game. Take chess for example
Yea im aware. Though chess is a terrible example, I'm not talking about games 1000-year-old games. Im talking about ones that are meant to change and satisfy their players. Especially the ones that ask their players for feedback and choose to ignore half of it.
The problem is the community. Too many negative people that can’t handle outcomes that didn’t fit their perspective. Gaming community is filled with babies. I’m talking majority. Of course there are the exceptions.
Im actually making a vid that talks about that a bit. Its so terrible
Yeah I'm done with competitive games honestly, shit games along with shit teammates.
yea the shit is hard to play nowadays
took a break from val to hop back on the final fantasy and kingdom hearts vibes
yeah unless u are playing for fun and doesn't care to lose, just dont play online competitive game, less mental health issue, single player game are much more fun,maybe not souls like game for some, but definitely better than online competitive
never have an opinion again you worthless scumpilled wrongcel.
this is what I try to tell my friends but all they wanna do is keep playing the same games and it’s boring lol
The only thing i hate about competitive games is the lose streak cuz i hate losing but other players dont want to lose as well
Like no I just want wins
Wins make me enjoy a game so when i start losing and losing just NO okay?
Bros got the comm 103 persuasion outline, sheesh
Spit yo shit my brother
LMFAO
just two words : lag , chears
i swear i the only one that handles losing in multi player better, than in single player
for single player picture this, died, load check point, have seen the start of this check point a fair bit kind of an easy annoying start but oh well and later is the speed hump i am on it's challenge maybe in lots of AI or much stronger stats as it needs something like that to be challenge due it being an ai without brains and each death i got to do the same thing before over it gets meh kind of quick, often i push though and often it is still meh after
as for multi player i have done private match sessions against someone better than me lost every game but sometimes i went better than before, but the challenge does not come from buffing my opponents load out or adding more , it comes from my opponents skill and brain and due to it being a player thinking to each round feels more fresh than a reload check point
yes there is also lower difficulty not all games offer to do it at anytime kind of making you want to go to easy at first
though i do like a horde mode if it is build right, just chose a map, random spawns, no goal to reach maybe just a high score before you die but there is no progress to be made or lost you gonna die sooner or later and then you start again and if it is random spawns it doesnt really feel like you are starting again it feels like you are playing a different level as you are fighting different AI line up
honestly i think you just play for fun and the issue is fixed i know its easier said then done trust me
friendly reminder that God does not appreciate harsh language 👍 God bless ❤
shots on the sage at 0:19 were disgusting btw
See you in hell luh buh
PLAY THE PERSONA SERIES ITS THE SHEEEIIIIIEEEETTT
*for me, the best era for online gaming was 2008 through 2011 👌 GTA4, Splinter Cell Double Agent, CODMW1&2, All-Pro Football 2K8, NBA Live 09/10, Madden 10, Backbreaker, RDR, Burnout Revenge, Burnout Paradise 😍 I haven't had FUN online since then 👎 all these new competitive games are SOOOO boring and all the ppl who play them have racist anger issues* 😂
Warframe go brrrr
