I've found that as I've gotten older (only 26, mind you), I've turned to more single-player games. In fact, the only multiplayer games I play regularly are Path of Exile, Smash (and I play mostly solo mode, or against friends locally) and Splatoon (which is the only shooter I like). While I don't mind grinding for levels to beat a boss and such, I don't want to have to grind my technical skills at the game just to have fun. And, since that's all a lot of online games are, it gets extremely frustrating and tiresome really quickly. Plus, I've found that a lot of single player games are also less likely to try to tempt you into buying stuff -- like hell am I going to buy anything (DLC excluded, of course) when I'm already paying $60 for the base game! And, becuase of that, I think they don't try as hard to make them super addictive, since they're not counting on many sells from that aspect of them; sadly, I've also found enjoyable single player games getting less and less common...
- pdimitar 8y agoSame here for me and my wife. We only haven't bought the PS4 Pro because we can't find enough place to put the couch but we're working on that. Many modern PC games imitate the mobile games monetization model and are increasingly hostile to any semblance of long-lasting community. Throw in the mix the clueless multiplayer implementations of many games where people are as toxic as it can get and it's easily understandable why so many people leave those games when the novelty wears off. We're gonna transition fully to console [and partially to PC] single player games with good stories and graphics (Lara Croft, Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War come to mind) -- as soon as we handle our logistics problem.
