FPS and RTS, Shooters because they are more or less engaging to jump into and easily jump out of. RTS because I like building bases and amassing armies.

I tend to like online FPS games more than SP since these days they tend to feel more and more static and dead, with the online FPS I know I;m with friends and against other people, with RTS games I really prefer either playing with friends or just against the AI because playing competitively in any RTS involves rushes or cheese builds and years of seeing that has driven me far away from competitive RTS gaming.

I know the feeling with the RTS point maybe 5 or so years ago I would of chose RTS instead of shooters but lately and probably with my old age I feel feel slow and cant compete on a RTS online without a cheese or all in and as you said that is basically no fun. The glory days of spening many years on C&C and Starcraft vs AI are still very valued years of my life though :P

Yeah I'll admit I have been there a few times myself =P.

 

I don't bother with SCII PVP though because of people like this:

Yeah Koreans are god tier at the game but that isn't to say other people from around the world aren't either, I've faced enough people in the past to know that quick and damaging early rushes or massive cheese builds can win the game, I just decide to avoid all that by not playing lol.

But yeah I can relate with the age part, I'm even starting to feel like I'm too old for PVP shooters because I'm not as sharp as a hawk let alone having the speed of a grasshopper with reflex timing.

Oh and I still play with AI on most RTS titles =P, for C&C though I recently found a new way to actually connect and play with hundreds of other folk for free. Basically I can now play C&C Generals, Generals ZH, C&C 3, Kane's Wrath and C&C Red Alert 3 all online, C&C 4 is still online last I checked but we'll not talk about that last game that cost us the franchise.
