I feel like the Pro players want the game to be something other than what it is and get disappointed when it fails to be this other thing.

For your next multiplayer, maybe Black Ops IV? I'm having fun with it. They just released Nuketown as a map again. Lots of action. You can just post up with a Titan LMG and spray away!

And playing as a single against team of 5 or 6 in a game _always_ sucks.

I just don’t do shooters anymore

I really dug Gears of War 3 Horde Mode on Insane with modifiers (Vampire specifically) back in the day. We had a core team of 6 or 7 who would do high score runs depending who all showed up. It was a total blast, probably my favorite co=op. My other favorite was Final Fantasy XI, we had a group doing exp runs that was so much fun. Months and months of playing with the same core players but switching classes and learning new gigs. Loved my Ranger and my Fighter. DD while balancing hate was a great time. I loved finding alternate EXP areas that no one would want to try and pulling in insane exp.

I've also been mindlessly slaughtering zombies in Nation Red, and trying to see if I can unlock more achievements.
And just yesterday, I got back into playing The Ship. The original, not that shitty remaster. I have not played that game in so long, I forgot how fun it was. It was especially fun being a passenger, following the leader around, and trying to get in the way of their kills. But after a while I got bored and just started wandering around like a vulture. Someone would kill someone, and then I'd pick up the wallet and bank the money. Then, I'd go back and loot the body of all non weaponry related items (passengers can't take weapons). Finally, I bit the bullet and started playing. Whooo boy. I need to up my killing skills because I was RUSTY! I'm probably going to play it some more today.

You earn blackstone which you can then spend to upgrade your Skitarii. You find tech in the Tombs, bolt it onto your priests, and assign them skills from 6 different disciplines.
In the Tombs, you see a floor plan that basically looks like a hologram, and you choose which paths to take. The longer you are in the Tomb, the more Necrons will come your way. You can have small fights in a chamber, or you might find Necron tech to research, destroy, etc. You get choices much like a choose your own adventure.
I'm still very early in, but so far I am really enjoying it and it is scratching the itch left from not buying Blackstone Fortress.

I have new video game fever since it is late November (always happens) and SSB is still two weeks away so I picked up God of War for $20.
I love the gameplay and visuals of the previous titles, the angry angsty Kratos crap and juvenile sexcapades not so much. I would have gone for Nier; Automata but it did t hit that magic $20 price point.
So far, it is pretty good. There is a lot of the watching-not-playing walk and talks and it has that whole “bring a kid along” thing that I guess RE4 really kind of started...but the gameplay is good, and the visuals are good so I got what I expected on those fronts. I like the Norse setting better, and I really like that this is a more mature, less Slipknot-y approach on the whole.
There are some not-too-taxing puzzles and a little exploration (hint- go the way the kid doesn’t go), lots of upgrade potential, pretty cool monsters...worth $20 no doubt.
Visually, I kind of expected more. There have been two completely eye-popping scenes (a giant turtle and Ourourborous), but so far it looks mostly like how all expensively produced PS4 games look.
I’ll plow through and presumably kill Odin at some point before SSB drops and dominates for the rest of the year.

Climbed back into gold this weekend. Played like 40ish games between Friday/Sat/Sun - 300 sr climb gold ranking - went 16-4 with Brig over that stretch, and played some Ana, Moira, Lucio and one match that I must have been throwing on Zen.
Brig is not busted! Why did I have such a nutty win rate with her? Because at mid silver/gold on console, Genji and Tracer don't switch. Against decent comps, I really had to work, because all of her value shifts from backline bully and flanker shutdown to the value of coordinated stuns in team fights...that said, I'm still holding down right trigger for long periods of time.
Some of my favorite Overwatch quotes from this weekend :
"Hammer D...oof...."
"Ryūjin no ken....oof.."
"Géill do mo..oof.."
etc.
I think she is in a good place still even after the nerfs hit.

It would make a killer Switch game. It's funny that it's so amazing, mainly due to being a 40k game that is actually good.

I am playing DIMOTHERABFUCKINGLO 3 again. It's been years. Seasonal heroes! I love this! I am a Monk that teleports into huge crowds, marks a couple of dudes, tries to survive a few seconds, and then watch them all explode into coins and new epaulets.
