That feeling is still there if you want it to be.
A few of my friends and I still get together every now and then, have pizza, sometimes drink, and play videogames together, only now it's from across the US using video and voice chat.
Whether it's super smash bros, overwatch, or any number of silly/stupid steam games that someone picked up for a few dollars one day, that "social" aspect is still right there waiting for you just the same as it was, but now you have MANY more options of games to play, and ways to play them.
- lobotryas 8y agoNot OP, but I'll agree to disagree. VOIP and webcams are fantastic, but if it can be arranged, nothing beats a LAN party. The required logistics, planning and actually being in the same room with my friends just take things to a new level (for me anyway).
- jstarfish 8y agoIt's like watching a concert on YouTube versus actually being there. There's a certain energy to LAN parties that cannot be replicated online.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoYou can have a damn good time that way, but it doesn't quite measure up to having all your friends in the same room, IMO. I have a collection of single-screen 4-player games on Steam, and I like to pack along my laptop, A/V cables, and four gamepads when I visit friends. :) Most successful so far are Broforce, Monaco, and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.
