I am sick of competitive multiplayer

Yeah the whole mentality of the gaming community these days is kind of a part of it. Not a big part of it, but it's a factor. Playing videogames has just become a huge e-dickwaving contest. But I guess that's true of young society as a whole these days and not exclusive to gaming.

And there's nothing wrong with playing to win. That's the point of the game, ffs. But I feel like the need to win has completely overtaken having fun. For example spawn campers, or glitchers, or cheaters. They are so concerned with winning and leaderboards and crap, that they don't even bother playing the game properly. Those people are the extreme, but even people who don't cheat have that mentality. Look at fallen angel. Guy snapped his disc in half because he lost ranked matches. That's fucking mental.

Also, Kalyx, before you say anything, I'm not talking about you. I know you play to win, and you're hardcore about it, but you don't shove it down people's throats. Unfortunately the majority of people online don't share your feelings.

Doesn't really matter anyway, because like I said, it's only a part of it.
