I use gaming as a fun time , and escape from life.
Its also a means to play D&D style games without other people, ala rpgs or scenario/time period games like the game Thief or Assassins Creed.
I used to play Quake 3 and UT back in the day with friends over at a buddies apartment. He had a Xeon server and 10 pcs lanned together.
We would smoke a J and zone out to Quake 3. Fun times, but that didn't last long as his wife cheated and divorced him. I played multiplayer online some since then.
Mostly Battlefield Vietnam, BF2, Battlefront on psp, Killzone2 and resistance 2 on ps3, warhawk on ps3, socom c on ps3, mag cod 4, mw2, bf4 on ps4.
Somewhere along the line those games stopped working for me. They introduced characters and spiky purple hair, mtx and all sorts of crap i didn't care for.
Cod ww2 and bf1 was a return to form and i played those for a bit, but then stopped.
Haven't really dug into mp since. I play couch co-op with gf like smash , diablo 3, wii-sports, etc...
Those are few in far between though. I would rather play single player or couch co-op then online mp.
I don't want mp mmos to invade single player.
I don't want seeing twitter or resetera jerk types in my games.
I love a good rpg going back to the gold box games and might and magic. I like strategy games like civ. I like going against a cpu.
I love that I can play so many single player games on switch, on the go.
My one friend is the opposite of me. He is a network admin and now all he plays is multiplayer. Especially mmos or survival games. He will find unofficial servers and make them.
I don't find this fun. As they get on and work together but i don't have time to play like they do. I get on and half the outpost is already made.
To me thats not fun. I want to build myself. I want to work for stuff. They run through wow levels to get to end level "where the real game begins" they say.
What about the first part of the game? Thats why i played everquest back in the day, not to rush to max level. I care about the journey not the destination in gaming.
I think our philosophies are different.
My favorite single player games are AC2 , Baldurs gate, Thief, Kotor, Morrowind, Gothic, Ultima Underworld, Might and magic 4 -6, Homm3, Civ4, city skylines, dark souls 1, nioh, re2, dq11, pool of radiance, ff5, ff6, ff8, Vagrant story, Vandal hearts 1/2, suikoden 1/2, ff tactics, all the castlvania games, Shiren wanderer, dungeon crawl stone soup, and tons of roguelikes.
