What games do you play? Who do you play with?
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve struggled to keep up with multiplayer games. I don’t really want to play unless I have someone to play with, and finding someone to play with is more trouble than it’s worth. I have friends and family who game, but we always run into one of two main problems: -1) Our schedules simply refuse to align, or -2) We can’t agree on what to play.
I’m always on the lookout for cool indie multiplayer games, whether that means large-scale like Battlebit or small-scale like Deep Rock Galactic. Some of my friends are either always chasing that absolute latest game (i don’t), or they’re real into MMOs (I’m not), or they have very particular preferences about which aesthetics they will take a chance on. It’s a struggle, but I’m always working to figure it out.
So what do you think? How have you fit multiplayer gaming into your life?
I just prefer single player games in general, so I don’t play many multiplayer games anymore. I can play at my own pace and I don’t have to worry about things like cheaters, lag, battle passes, etc. I do play FFXIV with some friends pretty often, and I sometimes play Halo and Rocket League, but those I usually play solo.
the pace of multiplayer games is something i hardly even consider, but it’s a good point. After a time it becomes exhausting if you’re trying to keep up with a “meta”.
