I don’t get this.
I was playing PVP games in 1993. On the Internet.
I played my first offline video game in 1983.
Most video games I play today are offline on my phone, with a few PVP games in the browser on my computer.
What does being a millennial have to do with any of that?
I also think he’s wrong but he is talking about young millennials. I’m a young millennial. I was born in 1993. This post is not about you.
That’s my point. The post could easily apply to me and I’m not a young millennial, or a millennial at all. There’s no correlation.
Ah gotcha. Honestly I think what the poster is referring to is comparing himself the boomers/alphas… fortnight, Roblox etc etc being so wildly popular
Earliest game I played over the net was probably Diablo followed by an addiction to Ultima Online. Still ended up on WoW for a year and then swore off MMOs ever since
I still play pvp games mixed in regularly with single player. Chivalry 2 is cathartic and some CoD from time to time.
For single player I like paradox stuff and open world survival crafts. Satisfactory and automatic are also like crack.
Thanks for listening to my Ted talk that no one asked for.
I swore off after ultima online, summer 99 and thankfully never picked up WoW. Then only very very casual console gaming into the millennium and nothing else until 5 or so years back when I started playing multi-player Civ V with group of friends. Now I probably have played more hours of Civ V than any game since Diablo 1 but I’m also 40 and have 3 kids lol. Time is a circle apparently.
Don’t act like a d-bag. Most kids before 1998 didn’t even have internet at home, and most kids in the 90’s were console gamers. Not PC.
Also, no, I’m not full of shit. US census data shows 18% of households had the internet in 1997, and if you don’t remember that most kids and teens around were gaming on consoles then you either lived under a rock, or you’re on here right now lying about your age.
Actually, the first PVP game I played was NetTrek in 1990 — forgot about that one. We generally didn’t start calling them PVP games until 1993-ish.
I spent a lot of time on MUDs in the 90s too…. They generally had mobkill and PVP zones.
Well younger kids do seem to be more obsessed with multi-player. I can’t get any of my kids to play single player games.
