Once you've experience the ecstasy of beating another human being who's trying their hardest to beat you, all other genres begin to feel like insipid tedious babby shit.
>>12604827Opposite for me, spent hours on fighting games as a kid but grew out of it because being angry at games all the time isn't healthy.
All the best fighting games are single-player focused like 6th gen MK and the entirety of the SoulCalibur franchise though.

>>12604827I got pretty good at a couple. The problem with fighting games is there really truly is only a couple decent ones. Like less than 10. And it doesn't take as long to get good at them as you might think. I feel standards for fighting games have to be higher, because I don't want to spend a ton of time playing a shit game to beat someone else. Like with other genres, even if the game is a huge investment, if it's like an 8/10 I'll play it. I won't learn a fighting game unless it's a 10/10, and there's not even many fighting games above a 5/10. So it's easy to spend a few years on the genre and move on, it's pretty stagnant, and even in its heyday it was very limited. I've lost all interest in these games.
Fighting games are great but if you actually want to feel the thrill of IQmogging someone else, the genre is puzzle games. Set the max speed and it's a violent rush up to see who's the smartest AND quickest motherfucker.
>>12605093>nosedive after 3VI was actually pretty great.
