    The problem isn’t necessarily multiplayer games as much as many multiplayer games refuse to release with functions to help you group/party find and actually meet people in-game. They don’t have to because discord exists.

    So you go to play a new game and turns out you’re just playing with the same people you always play games with because despite being multiplayer there’s no reason to interact with strangers in-game.

    Also if you insist on buying COD, please don’t make me pay extra for it to be included on game pass. I don’t want that shit.

    I (allegedly) have friends, but we’re all adults so there’s no way I can actually schedule time to play with them.

    Am I the only one who enjoyed most of the single player campaign of CoD:MW3?..

    Solo player here: I still prefer multiplayer games because single player AI is dumb and predictable. I can only put up with every enemy behaving the same exact way, making the same exact mistakes so many times before it gets boring. And FWIW you don’t need friends to enjoy most online titles. Most games let you queue solo.

        Not arguing that, but not everybody has that option. If you don’t have/don’t want friends, queueing solo is the next best way to get maximum enjoyment out of a game, IMO.

        Difficulty modes just more often than not means that the AI will either cheat or become a bullet sponge. Increasing the difficulty also doesn’t fix the issue of every enemy behaving exactly the same way as every other. Single player AI ruins immersion for me. The story has to be really good for me to be able to look past the bad AI that is in nearly every single player game.

        Difficulty modes are for making you lose the same way every time instead of winning the same way every time.

        Multiplayer is for having a chance.

      I love rogues, but most soulslike games feel soulless (pun intended). Once in a while we get a great game like Lies of P, but most of the time they are uninspired.

        Honestly all they need to do is create a difficulty selector. That’s the only reason I don’t play souls games.

        Inb4: “gitgud” Yeah that’s kinda my problem. Obviously.

          I agree. These people are such snowflakes. How does an optional easy mode take anything away from them? It doesn’t, yet they cry about it as if I shot their firstborn when I bring it up. Just call it “super mega crybaby loser mode”, maybe that will make them feel better when they pick the “super mega ultra sigma hardcore extreme mode”. Treat them like little children, they will fall for it.

    I don’t have the money or willpower to be on that treadmill. I just check in with battlefield when it looks like they haven’t shit the bed.

    TBH I’d like more multiplayer games with a real story. Most games on PC and console alike are singleplayer only.
