I hate battle royale games. Every time I play them i get anxious and nervous, I cant take it anymore

I have played Apex Legends since it came out and I have about 900h between both steam and origin (mostly played during covid).

Since I stopped playing this rage games I feel much better

Honestly, it's mostly a mindset change. I very recently picked up fortnite with some friends. Running quads is more of a "let's see if we can bully people with weird strats" instead of "I need to win or I'm not having fun." Its more about dicking around with friends and having fun than winning everything. Chances are you are not making money by playing, so why be concerned about it?

Its definitely a mindset thing. In any game with any sort of competition, the majority of people seem to have this thought that "I must win". And if they dont, then they are having a bad time.

I notice this alot in smash specifically when I play with new players, they put all this emotion into matches with nothing on the line. Then beat themselves over every loss.

I even get questions like "Why you did this dumb thing?" which sometimes leads them to thinking im trolling. Like bro, im playing for fun.

Or if im not sweating 24/7, "Are you sandbagging?" Dude, we are playing friendlies, this is not a tourney that decides my future career, its not that serious.

Its like people forgot what casual gaming was.

Unfortunately a lot, if not most, of the people who play these kind of videogames are either very toxic or don't have many friends... I was one of them back in the day

Yeah I agree, this is basically how my friends and I approached Warzone. I don't know if Fortnite lets you hear enemy comms on death but hearing peoples reactions to your shenanigans was always fun.
