Poll: PvE or PvP?

[ResonanceSD]

So yeah, Do you guys prefer to play against the game? Or against people? Note, not just for MMO'ers, TF2 is an example of PvP.

Although Single Player and PvE can be fun, I can have a really good time with PvP. Interacting with other people can really make a game more fun. Although sometimes interacting with other people can also make a game a lot less fun depending on their actions. But for the most part I find it more interesting.

Why is online multiplayer a race to win? I've seen matches in Guild Wars which take 20 minutes or more.

 

[rockingnic]

PvE for me because it feels more rewarding to win a tough fight that takes a reasonable group of people against one beast or whatever than to go, say 4 on 4 or 16 on 16 in PvP. I do like it when it can be blended together like L4D versus mode. But in the end, I love the feel of an epic boss fight than a fight against some person that really has epic feeling at all.

 

[DazZ.]

I hate AI.

It feels so boring and gets stale very quickly, I much prefer playing real people because everyone will play differently. That way there won't be a limit to how much you can improve, and you'll constantly be seeing different styles.

Plus it's fair, seeing as the enemy doesn't have an aimbot of whatever sort.

PvE. In Halo: Reach, I much prefer wasting the Covenant AI in Firefight or Campaign over human Spartans or Elites in Multiplayer Matchmaking.

 

[Mcupobob]

Both? Depends on my mood, if I'm tired of grinding quest on mats on WoW a queue to go kick some ass in the BGs. For FPS or other games I normally don't play online. Once in a blue moon I'll try my luck on CoH and get my ass handed to me.

 

[archvile93]

PvE of course, the computer never whines when I'm winning, insults me when I'm losing, or cheats.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Single player. It helps one get better when playing against douchebags in multiplayers.

 

[Crowser]

PvP all the way. AI can be easily beaten in most games, usually the patterns are pretty simple. X beats Y. But humans mix it up. So much more fun to play against something that can improvise and surprise you months after the game is released.

 

[ResonanceSD]

The main thing that ruined PvE in Guild wars for me was the utter repetitiveness of PvE after a while. Same maps, same missions, same spawns, same stupid 1-2-3-4 button combination for killing them, same loot chest. Yay. However, in PvP, you have to actually use your brain and (often) can't rely on autopilot. Upsets occur in PvP matches, what ends up in Pve is that players get upset when their idiocy forces a wipe.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Depends, I couldn't imagine a world where TF2 or Halo never had PVP gameplay because they do it right. But some games just don't do it right, like Crackdown 2.

 

[crudus]

I prefer PvE. I really hate people over the internet when a competition is involved.

 

[Infinatex]

PvE w/ P ...? Yeah I like to tackle the challenges of the game with the help of others. Unless it's an online FPS. Then it's PvP all day!

 

[Korten12]

Both? Kind of Hard cause in MMO's I like PvE much better then PvP, but in FPS/TPS I like PvP more then PvE.

 

[spartan1077]

No both equally? Damn cause that's my choice.

 

[ResonanceSD]

No both equally? Damn cause that's my choice.

No, I asked which you prefer. You can't say " I prefer both".

 

[spartan1077]

No both equally? Damn cause that's my choice.

No, I asked which you prefer. You can't say " I prefer both".

And why not? Can't I sit on a fence and say they each have the same amount of pros and cons and they each have their moments?

 

[doctorjackal777]

Its funny I used be completely PvE cause I didn't want some douchebag from the other side just coming and killing me when I'm just minding my own business and questing 20 lvs beneath him.
Now though I tend to join PvP servers, or at least not avoid them.
