@Cheese9Man Playing any game for 4 hours a day will likely burn you out. And with all your other posts about being bored with the game it isn't shocking. I'm more shocked you're still playing this that much with all the other posts.

Personally I'm loving this season. The pubs map rotation is excellent. And that is all I really need for now as BR offers good variety. I do want the other modes though. I've played OW2 for 3 hours total and found it repetitive and boring. Tried 2 games of warzone and couldn't actually find anyone that wasn't hiding. Apex has a mix of legends, movement, ttk and guns I like. The only other game that's come close is Rogue Company. I do play PGA 2k23 to relax now.

What Grrt says is spot on regarding one game play time tho.

@hayhor Been playing live-service games like DOTA since 2004. 4 hour’s isn’t much to be honest for my live-service gaming session even after work if the game is that good. Apex was that game.

If I’m really over the game I don’t stay in their forums and still about it. I just step away. I want Apex to be better hence the critical posts.

OW2 has this back and forth dance that’s difficult to explain and it’s not just respawn then die then repeat.

  At this point I have barely played this season. About where I was for Season 8. The only one I played less was season 7.
  The game feels like work, and I have other single player or online with PvE games respecting my time right now (Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny 2, and been playing Hades again).
  I really just want them to add a mode like Frontier Defense to Apex. Something I can work with other players on that's not competitive.

    This. One thousand times this. Or even solo. I like cooperative pve gameplay, but solo pve is every bit as good.

  @Cheese9ManOk so since 2004 you've been playing 4 hour sessions of games. I assume in that time your main game has switched many times. How many main games have you had? What game made it the longest as your main game? What do you feel makes you switch main games most often?
  
  I'm lucky as I get forced 1 to 2 week breaks from all gaming every other month. I honestly think it helps me appreciate games more. It is refreshing to come back and game.

    @hayhorI had all the nintendo and playstation consoles. Their only use was for single player games. My PC was the multiplayer machine just for one game, DOTA (hence why I bring it up a lot). Had to give up the game since my old PC was struggling so I sold it and never got a gaming rig since. So that’s around 2004-2014 of Dota 1 to dota 2. Then slowly F2P games were becoming a thing on consoles so my friends and I started playing again around 2019.
    
    There’s so much greatness with this game but it’s being held back by major issues. There’s a reason why games like LOL, DOTA and CS:Go are still thriving after all these years.
