I like single player games 10000000% more than any online game.

The fiat shit show took immersing single player game play away from us. Incentives skewed to making a game that could be milked with DLC shit over and over.
No longer is a engaging storyline, with very intriguing deep characters, a must. It's all about how can we make this game make us the most profit in a time frame of X so that we can get you working on the next installment by next Y.
I remember going to the store to buy cartridge video games and even playstation times that there were so many games to choose from and games were being made just for the sake of being games anybody with any type of small crazy idea was allowed to make a game just for the sake of putting something out there for people to play and to enjoy and to Experiment with no longer do we have that now we have this we can't break out of our shell or Go do anything that's any type of risk because our investors or shareholders won't approve of this.
Being someone who's playing video games for the vast majority of my life I have found myself more and more over the last at least 8 years finding less and less enjoyment out of any of the games being created or released today because no longer is it about actually having an intriguing storyline that actually engages the player but more just make everything blow up and explode and be able to shoot other people as the only metric for what's considered "fun"
well said. Make games great again!
I'm no gaming programmer.
But i do wish games would go back to this.
Maybe we need to spin up our own bitcoin funded gaming studio where they can take as long as needed to make the game, engage the story content massively, curate the lore deeply, make the most obscene choices for dialog sequences, truly make the details matter in the game, procure the best flow of actions in the game, make gameplay have the utmost intuitive sense.
I miss having stories that i played that impacted me. That feeling of once i beat it, that i felt like i lost a dear friend.
You need to play some MUDs
Except CS 1.2 😉🫡
I like multiplayer for FPSs, but MMOs are not interesting to me. It's a shame that the last Fallout and Elder Scrolls games we got were watered down MMOs.
