Like competitive games, but I don’t like overly competitive people. At the end of the day, win or lose, it’s still a video game and it should be fun. Competitive games with friends who understand that and don’t get tilted can be great fun, even when you’re on a losing streak.

I wish competitive games did a better job not only matching people of similar skill, but similar personalities. I know it’s just a bunch of pixels and numbers in a screen, why do you keep pairing me with these chuds that have no emotional maturity?
Some games have an option to search for a like-minded party type and it really should be a standard option.
I don’t mind competitive games, just not the crazy competitive ones. TF2 is a great example - fun, casual, PvP. Tarkov is probably my least favorite - hyper competitive, huge losses if you die, big incentive to cheat.
It’s a shame that Tarkov is what it is, because I love shooters and it’s probably the best of them, mechanics wise.
Just dropping in, in case you haven’t heard about it: Single player Tarkov exists, and is very fun! It obviously won’t have the same reactions and interactions as humans, but they’re emulated pretty damn well with some additional mods.
There is PVE Tarkov now. You have the option to play with other people in your team. But only if you want to. Don’t know what they ask for it atm.
PvE Tarkov doesn’t allow you to modify server side things, like insurance return times and whatnot.
The best games of Counter-Strike (the old one, before CSGO) I ever played were with friends in pub matches. Competitive is fun, but 32 player poolday? That’s the best experience you can have.
Now I’m all about co-op games or single player. I’ve been top scorer in FPS’, I know it’s a thrill, but it’s not as fun as losing with your friends.
