Single player games Vs Online games

[SHINRA-CORP]

These days I much prefer to chillout with a single player game. They often have good stories and can be chill while also offering a challenge.

Online games especially FPS just all feel the same now and I feel burnt out it feels like nothing new has come around in a very long time.

When i think of great games my mind instantly goes to single player games like Red Dead 2, The Witcher 3, Yakuza 7 (LaD), Black Myth Wukong Elden Ring and others.

When I try to think of great online games my mind goes further back to like BF3 or Bad Company 2.

Gaming feels kinda dead/boring now.

i am usually preferring single player games as well. but well...unfortunately i also have crippling addiction to dead by daylight

If you have a friend to game with I would recommend the "we were here" series, they're online co op games where you solve puzzles through communicating

Single player is more "full" because you can go at your own pace. You aren't rushed to complete some battle pass, you aren't being timed to finish before the round ends, or anything like that.

If you want to pause a bit and explore the world and waste your time, you can do so at no cost. The story isn't only going to be there for a month, so you have all the time in the world to continue it.

oh its shin-ra corp. great!

i am waiting for all 3 FF7 rebuilt discs before playing it. when is disc 3 coming for pc? =(

its true some games this time are not reaching the target the older games have reached.

but, celebrate difference since we now have really high rendering counts, and people dont have square hands anymore..

Online games in general have become as demanding as second jobs. If you don't fully commit, most of the time, the resident tryhards will mop the floor with you. Games rarely ever have a "mid-core" audience. So I've settled for singleplayer with one exception, but even that I'm playing with a friend, not against random people online.

I may look into this i also quite enjoy playing with friends but against the computer.

I feel the internet has improved gaming so much but it also gave developers tools to bleed us for all were worth.

I've gotta be in the mood for multiplayer FPS, tbh. I mean I've gotta be in the mood for FPS at all, but yeah, that's a thing. I wanted something Halo 3 online-experience kind of a deal but, there's just no game like that anymore. FPS games are totally different than that now. They're also all stretched too thin community-wise, and so they all putter out eventually as the experience eventually just becomes repeatedly fighting the same people in matchmaking over and over again.

I'm more of a Single Player RPG kind of a guy, and pretty much always have been.
I like gameplay mechanics, is the thing. RPGs are what made me a gameplay mechanics nerd, whereas the early Halo games are what made me into a physics engine nerd. In both instances, I like screwing around with the tools that be.

Online games only use and function is to Hook you to an internet subscription as people who pay with money are as well higher likely to use money on internet.

I only play MP with my brother. So, mostly single player.

[SpeedFreak1972]

I only play Sp my main gripe is at a certain point they will shutdown the servers or it's becoming a dead game ...

Online PvE is still very chilled. It's when it's PvP where you'll get toxic kids screaming in their mic.

Sometimes online games are just games that don't make sense offline.

For example, EVE online.

Depends. Hell divers is great, so is hollow knight. I just kinda switch when I want

[JacquesPatat]

prefer a good single player game. Multiplayer depends on the game, like you said, games feeling like all the same and also for me, it is also sometimes the players what kills the multiplayer for me (cheaters, mic spammers, players who think they pro's but just average, etc)
