Im tired of having to spend thousands of hours to stand a chance against others, im tired of video games turning into a second job. Im tired of playing against sweatlords who systematically abuse every single exploit they know of to ruin servers and destroy people’s fun. Im tired that every new game has to be an esport now. Im tired.
So yeah im fully done with mp games. However i still like games, and recently i realised i basically only enjoy singleplayer games. So yeah, Anyone got good/niche/unknown singleplayer game recommendations?
EDIT: im an idiot i didnt specify what sort of games i enjoy lol. Sadly ive already played disco elysium, i actually got 100% on it on steam, hah.
Recently I played Control, and i consider that title to be one of the best games ever made, so i really enjoy that kind of game but oddly the RE4 remake that resembles Control bored me so bad I turned it off 2 hours in. Basically I really enjoy shooters and games woth very strong narratives.
But my favorite game by far has to be RE:Village, that game blew my tiny mind, everything about it was amazing, the impeccable art direction, the gunplay, the enemies and the story, just 
. But by far the greatest thing about that game was the winter mood, i played it in the dead of winter and love the season, it genuinely shaped my expectation of what video games should be like. I also had a lot of fun hunting treasures and prizes down.
Unfortunately on rs2 vietnam the top players fucking memorize spawn points, prone in a bush and mow you down 30 times in a row while you struggle to guess what bush theyre in while your team loses the round. Fuck that shit.
Yeah, by now that's definitely the case. There was a real nice period when the community was pushing out a ton of custom naps that kept the experience fresh because those types hadn't memorized all the good spots. All good things must come to an end, I suppose.
I just can’t handle the level 99s with 300 ping who somehow manage to rush you and whip out a shotgun in a second and a half after traversing half of a section of the map were supposed to have taken 5 minutes ago.
Like call me bad or whatever, but i fail to see how I’m supposed to get on that level in a 10 year old game that struggles to get past 500 players daily?
Yeah I feel you, there's a reason I stopped playing a couple years ago. Same reason I never got into counter strike. How dudes like that have fun at the expense of everyone else's fun I will never understand. The best games I have played from board games to real sports to video games were the nailbiters where it comes down to the wire and nobody knows who is going to win until the final play. I'm weird like that, I guess.
I mean the worst part of all this is i actually participated in competitive events in the past,I was that dude. I was a sniper main and competed in silver highlander for some time in tf2, I was a global for a year in csgo, I also participated in bf4 attack heli tournaments for a while so I can be good at mp game, i just simply fail to see the appeal or the fun in doing that because not only did I completely lose the skill i spent all those hours building, but the memory of those moments is a massive blur for me. On the other hand i dont have any trouble recollecting vacations with my family from a decade ago.
Your brain is rightly prioritizing the important stuff.
