>younger people don't play single player games anymore
What went wrong? Am I just getting old? I'm only 26 though so I'm not sure if it's that. Listen bro I like to play online games once in a while but I will always to back to a strong single player game. Just finished the new metroid it was pretty great.
You younger people will understand once you start working a job and after a long day/night shift you want to relax by yourself.

The number of things wrong with this post is so great I'll just sage and hope you never fucking post again.

I almost exclusively play single player games. But I'm 26 and have a shitty connection that makes online games a nightmare...
>I'm only 26
I'm 28 but dude wake the fuck up, you are surrounded by high school kids
this, i'd be playing fighting games all day if my connection was better.
but singleplayer's fun too.
>newfag falls for spacing meme
I wonder if this is the worst post I've ever seen. I feel like I've been here so long it's hard to remember, but the really fucking vile ones do stand out.
30, oh, it's evident.
A lot of kids played the Souls games. Multiplayer IS better though...
I'm 20 and I enjoy single player games.
You must be 18 or older to post here
>tfw turning 25 next week and already feel my reflexes going to shit
just admit it bros, older people play singe player cause we can't compete as easily online.
The greatest video games of all time are single player. You have shit taste if you think multiplayer is better.
haha nice meme :)

I'm 34 I enjoy single player games because I just can't compete with the youngers.
I wouldn't say that interest in single player games has wavered. More developers are just seeing more perpetual profit in multiplayer.
Gaming has grown as a mainstream industry, and multiplayer allows long-term competition and social interaction. Single-player games are a one-time purchase with less replayabiltiy.
I'll defend them to the end though. Multiplayer focus games will inevitably fade, but I'll always be able to go back to my favorite single-player campaigns.
Bollocks, I sat down behind friend's comp running 1.6 pub and destroyed the place with a knife in five minutes.
I haven't played the fucking thing since high school and I was never a pro to begin with.
Multiplayer is just singleplayer but with more complex rules since humans are more complex than AI.
Multiplayer games, no matter how fun/shit they are, will always be used as glorified chatrooms by the average player, the kind of player that loves all sorts of virtual social interaction, from typical chatting to e-dick contests. No point in getting a big e-dick in singleplayer games if you can't show it to other people with smaller e-dicks, you know.
26 too. After going full neet in an MMO for 5 years I never want to play multiplayer again. I'm tired from work and my chances to play vidya are few and far between. I just want to play the way I want in that time.
Today's kids are being brought up almost solely on Minecraft, mobile shit, and competitive online games. They've been trained to think of games as transient disposable "experiences", rather than individual coherent creative works that you can develop a deeper bond with. Obviously there are still single player games that sell millions of copies and are pretty popular with teens, like BotW or Persona 5, but there's been an undeniable paradigm shift away from how games were thought of in the 90s and early 2000s.
Isn't this all for the better though? If you're going to play video games, isn't it better to do it while having real experiences with other humans, rather than just locking yourself alone in your dark bedroom and crying over the death of Aeris? I suppose I don't really have a problem with the way that games have changed per se, but I don't want market pressures to squeeze out good, creative traditional-type experiences either.
i'm 19 and i play single player games, though i'm pretty sure i'm older than most on Sup Forums, still young compared to grandpa OP.
>only 26
w/e dude, when I was in high school and finally got DSL I played nothing but Online games, they're way more fun when you have as much freetime as kids and no social media presence.
When you have somewhere to go online (like IRC, forums, imageboards, VoIP groups, etc.) and talk with people about single player games you're playing, it might be more interesting, but socializing with people while playing a game beats all.
My little brother (12 years old) used to be one of those kids who only played Minecraft, but ever since we bought a Wii U at launch he's totally come around to single-player games. He loves Mario Kart, Mario Maker, and Sims 4, and he desperately wants a Switch. I'm so proud.
He also knows how to sing Renai Circulation because of Youtube memes. I'd love to get him started on watching anime, but I think he still just sees it as "that thing my big brother likes".
I'm 25 and I rarely play anything else but single players and split screen co-op or versuses, online I have played only Siege and Division, and not much even.
Mostly, I refuse to get games that doesn't have a single player option, such as with Micro machines. They feel too repetitive most of the time
My 26 cousin only plays MP. I don't get, he grew up with SP and MP, but nowadays it's only MP for him.
nah I'm right there with you dude
people just have different tastes is all
personally I like to "make progress" so multiplayer games kinda just drive me crazy if I play for too long
I pretty much only enjoy singleplayer games, so I play them most of the time. The only time I "enjoy" multiplayer games is when my friends are also playing it. I rarely bother with getting good at these games, it's all just an excuse to chat with them about dumb things while laughing at dumb things happening on screen.
They always pick some some popular and overpriced shit to play but at least they don't jump from game to game every other weekend. I'm afraid I will have to buy Destiny 2 because they are getting sick of Overwatch and for some reason none of them want to play Warframe (it's basically the same shit as Destiny 2 but without a price tag, I honestly don't understand the hype for this).
>You younger people will understand once you start working a job and after a long day/night shift you want to relax by yourself.
What a shitty reason. You work so you can waste your life playing a single player game for literally no reason. Only two or three come out a year that arent garbage, for the rest of that year you're just wasting your life.
>I only play new video games
mmm
Don't poison the minds of children
I'm 19 and I exclusively play single player games, except for maybe a little TF2 every now and again. I don't really have any friends, because I hate ironic memesters.
>you younger people
but user i played destiny 2 just to shit on the "raid" with friends
and Im 36
you need to start feeding him a fuck load of soy to get the boipucci ready
Oh no, I'm not a homosexual.
>Making things readable
>Reddit spacing
I've been writing like that on Sup Forums well before Reddit was a thing sonny boy.
27 been playing yakuzo kiwami, mon hun stories, and divinity 2 as of now. waiting for etrian odyssey 5 to come out. all i play is single player games except on weekends when ill get with highschool buddies play paladins or some shit
great to sit down with a nice sp game after a long day at work.
I only play sp games and im 17, currently playing smt digital devil saga 2 and final fantasy vi
People that play multiplayer games are social fags that post on facebook.
Videogames have lost the stigma that they're for lonely nerds that sit in their basement all day.
>and im 17
I dont mind being banned, posting on Sup Forums isnt the best or more entertaining thing to do
>use to play a good mix of solo/coop/multiplayer games
>liked coop games with my friend the most
>friend ghosts me when i go to uni
>start only playing singleplayer games
>make no new friends
>want to play coop again
>try playing multiplayer games to make friends
>give up 10 minutes in because they're boring on my own
kill me
>I dont mind being banned, posting on Sup Forums isnt the best or more entertaining thing to do

Opinion
i played both of those for the first time last year except i'm 31
what?
>what?
I'm personally of the opinion its a backlash against the time sinks single player games have become. In a multiplayer game, the meta is ever expanding, so there is legitimate reason to dump 300+ hours as the dominant tactics and strategies change. Most single player games don't have the depth to justify a >100 hour time sink.
