What's even the point of playing competitive games? So I can feel proud of the fact I spent more hours in front of a screen vs. some other kid?
Single player / Co-op games are patrician taste. If you actively play competitive shooters, RNG based card games, MOBAs, or MMO PvP, consider killing yourself.
What's the point of playing single player games? So I can brag about beating an A.I? If you play single player or co-op games you should kill yourself.
because nothing beats the rush of beating someone in a fighting game or rts. also competivie shooters like quake or unreal tournament are good as well.
Its high skill vs high skill, when ai can play vs humans in games without either being insanely op (aimbot) or completely useless (ai for rts) ill play singleplayer.
Untill then, human opponents are fun to play against.
>RNG based card game
Isn't that every card game?

To triumph over others in a controlled act of violence that isn't as time consuming, costly, or injury prone as American football, rugby, boxing, and martial arts. It satisfies the primal urge to compete and destroy others, without legal or physical ramifications. You might as well ask why people even want to have "fun" in the first place. It's what we want when we don't want food, sex, or sleep.

AI can be far more intelligent and skilled than humans

Not every single player game revolves around defeating an opponent. Kill yourself for even being this narrow minded.

I don't depend on getting a rush kicking someone down. I'd rather spend time actually enjoying myself and immersing myself into a game world and its story and atmosphere. That's a novel experience. Beating someone for the 50th time in whatever shit tier Twitch game you play is like huffing down one more cigarette for that nicotine rush, it's a hunger that is never fulfilled.

Hearthstone is unbearably RNG based to the point where you're helpless in many cases. At least in a game like MTG you can make things work despite a shit starting hand.

Not to mention the luxury of being able to pause the game and go at your own pace.
>Theory
To show your abilities in outmatching, outlasting, outsmarting, and overall being better at certain people in an even playing field.
>Practice
To maximize your chances of winning by reducing the game to its simplest formulas, turning the smallest bump or dent in an even playing field into a metagame black hole.
If you like being competetive you actually have fun playing competetive games.

competitive shooters ARE co op though. play Day of Defeat Source, it is win.

I play competitive games just like I play single player games. For the gameplay. Is the system used in the game good/fun/interesting? I'll play it and have fun with it. I don't give a shit if it's a human or not.

Obviously you do if you play multiplayer online competitive games.

No, I care about the system.

I mean, yeah maybe if we were talking about things that actually dictate real skill like sports, not how fast or accurately you can move a mouse and type keys.
Faggot.
>>335724871
That's only good if you only care about getting better.
I mean, I could play tennis all day because it's fun and I might not even get better. Or even if I did, that wouldn't be the reason why I enjoy it.

this desu
>>335724871
Well you know, most people play games because they're fun. You just play it because you want to be like pic related >>335724124
Because interaction with other human beings who love a game just as much as you trumps interaction with an AI

>real skill like sports

>Wah wah I am a huge casual and a faggot
lol
>>335725249
>fun
That was my entire point. Single player games have less replay value therefore not fun for as long
>>335725490
That's funny. I have more hours clocked into single player games than multiplayer ones.
>>335725490
>multiplayer games
>replay value
nice meme, is that why 90% of them are dead within 6 months whereas single player games are played for many more years?
