Anonymous07/14/26, 15:42No.2720431Are you a PVP or PVE gamer?
Let's Settle the PVP vs PVE argument Once and For All. Also recommend games in either genre that you enjoy!
It's quite simple.
>PVP Players
PVP Players want to play in a system of full freedom, where their safety is up to them and the people they work together with. There's no restrictions to combat in the game, it's up to the player to determine how to achieve ingame goals, whether it's through raw brute force and numbers, or through shear cunning wit and strategy. To travel alone in such a game is to make yourself vulnerable and small. You must work with others or become exceptional, while knowing your limits against numbers. Players who embrace this style of play are usually bro-tier, but bants comes with the territory and if you can't hang, you will break. Only the strong survive here. Players who enjoy this style of mp want to face an enemy that is cunning and unpredictable. An outcome to any pvp engagement is unpredictable since other players can change their strategies at any moment, and so winning feels like a real victory. Tactics revolve around being able to react to threats at any time, from any direction, rather than dealing with known predictable bot threats.

>PVE Players
PVE players want to play in a system where they are hindered and choices about personal safety are decided for them through hard-coded rules and laws like no pvp or consentual pvp only (you must initiate pvp with someone before being able to damage each other), or where friendly fire is off. These players cannot handle the stress that they are vulnerable to consequences at all times. They want to skip any level of threat other than the controlled and calculated levels of threat from bots within the game. Bots in these games are often extremely low intelligence and easily exploitable threats that are predictable and cheesable. An outcome to any engagement in a PVE game is predictable and hardship or punishment for bad choices can be easily mitigated since there is no unpredictable threat. Tactics revolve around easily repeatable memorized "paths and actions" rather than learning to react to unpredictable threats.[2/2]

Personally, I prefer open PvP in a PvPvE environment, as I do think PVE is a positive experience still, and 90% of games we enjoy as gamers are PvE. Still, the most thrilling encounters in a game will always be PvP, and just the threat of PvP alone makes the game better from a PvE stance. Let's discuss.

I like PvPvE on paper, but not in practice. Usually developers (and fans) are shit slinging monkey niggers, this creates situations where the combat is about who knows the best cheese strat. I'll use Sea of Thieves as an example, if the devs and fans weren't gorilla brained faggots the PvP would be about ship to ship combat combined with tactical boarding. 'PvP'vE fans think it's good and healthy for the game for ship combat to be moot, because they can just fire themselves onto the enemy ship for free, recover if they miss for free, and turn all PvP interactions into shitty quake instead of a pirate game. The Pv'PvE' crowd thinks that they don't want PvP, but because the 'PvP'vE crowd and the developers are retarded monkey niggers they can't see the obvious disadvantage non-niggers have who are actually trying to engage with the ENTIRE game instead of just the PvP because they couldn't make it past gold in any FPS and need to feed their ego the false information that they're the god of PvP in video games. The average RUST teenager is more deranged than the average MMO addict or MOBA player and that's really saying something. The players who actively seek out PvP have less risk for more rewards than players who don't actively seek out PvP and that's cringe and terrible for anyone who doesn't play these games to chimp out.

>this is who's calling you a griefer in the open pvp games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVQF2jUTkDEWhy even play mp games if you are so bad at them? I hate carebears so much, bros. They really want a guaranteed "I win" experience in mp games against players at the expense of the game itself. It's all about them, not the game as a whole.
