This. Multiplayer games are fucking awful. Anything competitive is non-viable because my friends range from casual gamers to tournament-attending grandmasters with no in-between, so the mandated MMR systems ensure that any time I play with a friend, only one person on the team is going to have a fun time. Coop-only games are shriveling up, rarely being worthwhile anymore, being pay2win (segregating us faster than MMR does), being released unfinished, etc. The worst is all of the games that require you to do everything with you as host regardless of coop, so if you play together with your friends, you either have to run through the same content/map/fights 3 to 8 times in sequence, or be a cunt to your friends and leave after they help you do yours.
I had a dream of randomly meeting an ex college classmate after a long time, she looked slightly annoyed to see me and was ready to leave the conversation as soon as possible, before that 2 women that were there greeted her and opened a glass door for her, and they didn't even look my way even though I was right there before she came in and they wouldn't acknowledge I wanted to get through. Somehow summarizes my life.
i think that some people aren't just cut out for significant social interaction, myself included
i'm not naturally charismatic enough to have people care and know that attempting to force a personality doesn't work, you always just end up as "that guy" people are half-aware of but don't really notice
Aspects I like such as level design and bosses aren't really an appeal of multiplayer-focused games. Also 80% of them are first or third-person shooters. A genre I'm not into.
>Just read the ToS, chud. You aren't supposed to have fun with the game. >NO NON ONONONOOOOOOOOOOOO COME BACK HERE COME BACK HERE YOU HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BLACKROCK SAVE ME
>perfect vidya in theory >multiplayer only >can't play it
Hopefully they will start using these new advanced AI types to actually drive npc AI soon, my social skills are non-existent, everytime someone is shooting shit or joke around having fun in online games I just get nervous
I got tired of using my own money to buy games I was only half interested in just to play with friends when no one wanted to give my suggestions a chance. I'm happy to humor my friends and try things that may not be immediately interesting to me but I expect that it goes both ways. It did not and after many years of trying I simply grew tired and stopped playing games with them. I'm happier playing single player games and have branched out to playing more social games, such as tabletop, with different groups of people who actually do share my interests.
>No one uses mics anymore >Most multiplayer games don't even have text chat anymore >Every game just feels like I'm playing with a bunch of retarded bots because no one communicates
Don’t like fps, mobas, mmos, don’t like modern racing games and I usually play fighting games with friends so I don’t need to play online. What else is there?
Literally all games I like are singleplayer or co op. There's no battle royal Thief or horde shooter Ultima game.
In addition I find contemporary online games cancerous. The game can die which, as a /vr/fag, pisses me off. I have to get gud, and even my brother told me to pratice/get a better mouse to get gud. I will grind out shmups for 1CCs but I refuse to grind for an online only experience. It looks to be much, much harder form of training then usual games and it just looks like a chore.
Lastly, I hate online only communication. I only like this place cause I can say what I want with no backlash, but I find online only socializing/games are bad.
I hate co-op, and I hate teams. So the only games left for me are free-for-all games and fighting games, but I also don't enjoy shooters much. I enjoy some games that have co-op aspects, but I play them solo, like Monster Hunter. Don't use the cats either.
these threads where zoomers raised on GaaS bullshit try to understand normal people and things are always funny to me. I especially like the >OMG [SINGLE PLAYER GAME] HAS LOST 905 OF ITS PLAYER BASE AFTER 5 MONTHS OH NO NO NO NO BROS
retard zoomer threads. It's like they literally cannot even comprehend single player.
I get way to angry at multiplayer games. Outside fighting games (mainly cause its basically a single player game) multiplayer games just bring out a level of rage in me Im not okay with. Whether im doing good or bad Im MAD.
Co-op games are okay but only because i can be social.
>goes to baseball game to take pics and then upload them online >get owned behind your back by women who know exactly what you’re doing and make fun of you because they are probably drunk but also came for a good time and not a photoshoot >”this is so sad. Can we get 50 likes?”
Dumb bitch got what she deserved and more.
If it was for a film it would be illegal to include them with them signing a waver or something. It's pretty crazy bitches think everyone on earth are just extras in their social media and should behave themselves.
>hate competitive multiplayer games, have a lot of single player stuff installed that i want to play >simultaneously addicted to mp games for the feeling of being useful for once in my life
I'm in this nightmare purgatory world between normieism and degenerate autism.
Most of my IRL friends don't play games, and if they do its boring normie shit like CoD. If I'm hanging out with them, I'd rather be shooting the shit or going outside anyway.
But I fucking hate the autists and weebs online that inhabit the community of niche games I like. And I can't stand how seriously they take everything. It's like games are their lives. Neverending cheap memes because they've never had an original thought. Neverending irony to protect their interests. It's insufferable.
Already had my fill of competitive multiplayer after a decade of it.
Cooperative multiplayer is fun until that one tryhard plays a little more than everyone else, and eventually guides everyone by the hand or not so subtly tries to influence everything you do.
I'll just play at my own pace at my own leisure.
They are the only games that aren't stupid pseudo-gacha garbage for NPC retards 100% of the time.
You wouldn't understand, so don't torture your poor overworked single brain cell trying to comprehend.
Sweaty multiplayer ruins fun. The skill ceiling in multiplayer should never be higher than the skill floor for the single player on hardest difficulty.
i tried to play even barotrauma multiplayer and it was soul sucking, a bunch of real life NPCs playing campaign mode with their brains on autopilot forever and ever, never saying anything but the same game-related phrases like a robot. if i cant get any engagement out of people in a game made for purely casual fun, could you imagine how bad it is in other games.
For some reason as I got older I just found myself not wanting to interact with faceless nobodies, probably not helped by the fact that I've gone from finding occasional run-ins with turbospergs in games funny to just being annoying
Sometimes I think about booting up some UMS maps on Brood War or running some games on Halo MCC but then I just lose interest
Its even worse now, post mmr segregation. Now shitters get matched with other shitters and fester in their bad gameplay habits. The occasional good player is labeled a smurf and shitters rage at him instead of getting gud. Meanwhile good players are forced to play even sweatier players which causes a sweat singularly that prevents anyone from trying new things, else they get shit on by meta sweats.
Yes thats me.
Whats crazy is that shitters these days are just as sweaty. They rage, they tryhard, yet they are stuck in bronze. Multiplayer is fucked.
I have no competitive bone in my body, so I don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone, I just wanna exist and have fun.
Plus, eve4y multiplayer equivalent game has to make so many cuts to accommodate autistic balancing that it just becomes unfun. No multiplayer game ever gets close to mechanical enjoyment or atmosphere of single player games. The only thing it has going for it is just other humans playing it, but it doesn't make the game itself smart or fun as a result.
>How to ruin voice chat 101: no racism, no smack talking to teammates or opposing team, everything you do in the server will be logged via server or a teammate who films/takes pictures of every game they play online..
There should be a social rule in online games where you ask if anyone is recording their gameplay if said yes we vote-kick them, people who records their gameplay in multiplayer is only looking for trouble. YouTubers don’t count cause they HAVE to edit out what you say in fear of there bosses taking down there channel
Easy, I have exactly 0 friends to play with, and playing "competitive" games with total strangers always seemed gay and tiring and a total waste of my time so I just play singleplayer.
Because the state of modern multiplayer gaming is horrific.
This. Multiplayer games are fucking awful.

Multiplayer gaming has never been worse.
I play games to avoid people because I have to deal with their bullshit most of the day,
Because if I wanted to interact with other people, I wouldn't be playing video games.
>season pass
>
That's about it really. I also lost all my friends.
Drop your shield, fartgas.
i'm bland, people don't give a shit about me
it's a somewhat freeing and somewhat soul-crushing feeling
I had a dream of randomly meeting an ex college classmate after a long time, she looked slightly annoyed to see me and was ready to leave the conversation as soon as possible, before that 2 women that were there greeted her and opened a glass door for her, and they didn't even look my way even though I was right there before she came in and they wouldn't acknowledge I wanted to get through.

Why should my fun depend on other people
I'm sick of the current FOMO multiplayer sphere
Because I don't have a stable Internet connection and I'm not paying for Internet.
>Just read the ToS, chud. You aren't supposed to have fun with the game.
>NO NON ONONONOOOOOOOOOOOO COME BACK HERE COME BACK HERE YOU HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BLACKROCK SAVE ME
No, I will not play it
I don't like to pace myself to match other people. Sometimes I actually do want to stop and smell the roses. If I do play games online it's PBEM.
>play multiplayer game
>"bro have you checked the latest youtube guide on how to properly optimize for the meta bro are you maximizing utiles yet bro"
no thanks im outies
im ass but i enjoy playing halo 3 servers some times
I'm scared of interacting with any human beings, even random strangers on the interweb I will never see again
I don't talk on the mic and I hate putting my business out there through leaderboard stats, public server chat/access logs, etc.
Too many dunning-krugers on my team telling me how to play. Too many chinese cheating on the enemy teams. Too many subhumans in general.
>perfect vidya in theory
>multiplayer only
>can't play it
Hopefully they will start using these new advanced AI types to actually drive npc AI soon, my social skills are non-existent, everytime someone is shooting shit or joke around having fun in online games I just get nervous
Because I like to sit down and play a game at my own pace. Without a bunch off assholes bugging me.
I don't like interacting with people, and I want to play at my own pace.
I don't have/want to use a mic and use wifi
I got tired of using my own money to buy games I was only half interested in just to play with friends when no one wanted to give my suggestions a chance.

buckbroken by zoomers huh
>No one uses mics anymore

just played a R6 match where everyone was chatting, communicating and memeing. Skill issue.

settle down okay?
what's the matter, junior? Shit ain't bussin?
just calm down
Multiplayer games are glorified skinner's boxes
If this has to be explained to you... NGMI
I get way to angry at multiplayer games. Outside fighting games (mainly cause its basically a single player game) multiplayer games just bring out a level of rage in me Im not okay with. Whether im doing good or bad Im MAD.
Co-op games are okay but only because i can be social.
>Singleplayer
Get to play how I want to
>Multiplayer
Get told how to play it and banned if I don't follow the meta.
>try to have fun in multiplayer games
>everyone makes fun of you

She got what she deserved, but I still feel bad for her.
If it was for a film it would be illegal to include them with them signing a waver or something. It's pretty crazy bitches think everyone on earth are just extras in their social media and should behave themselves.
this is difficult to watch, people are fucking ruthless
at least we zoomers still have hair you old fat balding piece of shit ong ong
I have all my hair, though? You'll be bald by 30 and still playing shit video games LOL
nah bruh i don't believe your wrinkly ass, your head probably looks like a naked mole rat fr fr
>t.
uhhh litty uhhhhh
not cool at all bruh, that's racist, be a decent human being and delete that
Yeah it's weird how zoomers are losing their hair and getting ED now, what the fuck is even going on?
i'm bad and don't have the will to improve
let me decay in peace
Because I can say nagger without the opps tryna shut me down
who are you calling a nagger in a single player game?
The devs mostly sometimes myself
My cat.
Enemies who kill me
Or naggers
I play videogames to have fun
If I can't yell nagger nagger nagger in chat without being banned I'm not interested.

No microtransactions
I don't, but people don't talk in multiplayer games anymore so they might as well be bots.
Because I like playing at my own pace and doing my own thing, also I hate people.
Already had my fill of competitive multiplayer after a decade of it.
Cooperative multiplayer is fun until that one tryhard plays a little more than everyone else, and eventually guides everyone by the hand or not so subtly tries to influence everything you do.
I'll just play at my own pace at my own leisure.
ive played all the coop games that are still alive and i came to the conclusion that id just rather play modded stalker
i play both, im a video games enjoyer,not a video games hater
I like to have a goal I can complete instead of just running a treadmill for years.
The only multiplayer game I play these days is WoW and even then I still play it by myself.
They are the only games that aren't stupid pseudo-gacha garbage for NPC retards 100% of the time.
You wouldn't understand, so don't torture your poor overworked single brain cell trying to comprehend.
Hes literally me
Because multiplayer games are filled with leftist woke propaganda.
most multiplayer games these days are shite only designed to extract the most amount of cash they can out of you
>you see these mountains?
>i'm going there even if it means i'll die alone
Was it worth it?
Yes it found purpose in life like the penguin and his waifu
He didn't go to the mountains to die. He went so he could feel alive.
What if there was a yet-unseen abundant source of fish? Colony wouldn't be laughing then.
i have no friends, the last time i played ASShomosexualS was like 13 years ago
I dont like people in multiplayers and only know sweatlord retatds in lol and fortnite ib my known circle
Sweaty multiplayer ruins fun. The skill ceiling in multiplayer should never be higher than the skill floor for the single player on hardest difficulty.
I play games to escape from this world.
Having to play with other people drags me back in, which is the exact opposite of what I want from games.
because they became whats essentially shitty single player player with better AI
Cause of this.

Why did he do it bros?
he was tired of tagging along other retards like him
>why do you play ___ game?
because
its
fun
multiplayer games discourage any interaction between players. There is zero reason to ever play multiplayer.
you know you fags could just turn off your pics, and mute others right? you don't have to interact with other players.
I can still soft-int your game regardless if you mute me or not.
But why?
Look at him go
Only?
Because I hate zoomers.
Because I only play old games, as new games are trash.
Easy, I have exactly 0 friends to play with, and playing "competitive" games with total strangers always seemed gay and tiring and a total waste of my time so I just play singleplayer.
there isn't a single multiplayer game worth playing right now
Because I have enough social interaction as it is. I play games to recharge my batteries.
That penguin was trying to get away from he evil film crew.
Most multiplayer games don't interest me and I've never had any friends
