Lone Wolf Player

[Teletubbie]

I noticed that there is a good time solplay multiplayer game. I do not usually form team of friends (real or online). My business is to play alone, but I like to get into random teams without commitment.

In dead by daylight or in the jason game, for example, it was almost always this random way. I already played with closed teams and even participated in some transmissions in the twitch. Although I find the experience interesting, I still prefer to play solo.

I know games are a great way to build friendships and maybe I should try harder, but my lone wolf spirit keeps talking louder. I even leave my offline chat to not receive invitations.

The downside is that some games really need to be teamwork or it becomes almost impossible. In rust myself, I saw that it is almost impossible to survive alone. I made some doubles there, but eventually we did not move on after destroying our house and stealing all.

I would like to know if there are people with the same profile or I am a minority in the community?

I rarely select multiplayer games, but when I do, I always look for games that can be played solo, and don't force PK.

TBH i have been itching to play Rainbow Six Siege forever. Even when i play the occasional multiplayer PVP game i always opt to go Solo. That why i enjoy multiplayer games like killing floor 2, Destiny, Anthem (i preloaded it but have not tried it yet) and so on.... Being a lone wolf isnt a bad thing to me. I would rather play a game i enjoy solo then play a game with a bunch of idiots that would otherwise ruin the experience.

I rarely if ever play any type of multiplayer game. Even if I do I'll try to play them solo rather than have to deal with playing with other people. I've found it's just way too much of a hassle and not very fun for me.

The only 2 multiplayer games I have enjoyed on Steam are Dungeon Defenders and Gauntlet.

I sucked at Left 4 Dead and nobody wanted to play with me on their team. I was kicked too often so I finished the game solo.

So I've noticed that I'm not the only one who has this behavior profile. Playing solo has its advantages for sure.

Thanks for the feedback from you guys.

I am a real lone wolf myself. I can understand your feelings about non commitment. I don't like to be in a group, because they "force" me to play sometimes longer than I really want, because I feel too much responsibility.

I need a group, where I am able to stop playing anytime, if I feel I have to stop now.

If I do not stop that moment, the game gets a chore, and is no longer fun. That is the reason I avoid groups, even in multi player games. My own responsibility for the success of a quest or mission takes sometimes the fun out of these activities for me, if I overdo it.

I stay, but I don't do this again for a long time. That is my problem with multiplayer games. It's a personal problem, that I am not able to solve. My own "sense of duty" stands in my way of having fun in a group.

So, no, you are not the only person who avoids playing in groups in multiplayer games or MMO.

The upside is, that you get real skills that way to survive on your own ... but you get very bad in depending on skills of others.. ;)

You touched the key point.
I feel responsible to always be the best and win in the group, but we do not always do well and the group has to be understandable. after all, it's all fun. But there are people who take it very seriously.

The question of time also bothers me. I like to start and finish a game whenever I feel like it. In a group like you said we ended up having to go beyond what we would like.

That's another thing I don't like is that some people are too serious and don't have fun playing games. They are so obsessed with winning they can't enjoy just playing and enjoying the company of others, like arcades used to be when we played face to face.
