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.
One of the annoying things about playing MP games is seeing the racist usernames and getting misgendered constantly. Like the communities always just suck
Oddly enough the most progressive community i was a part of was bf4 server i uses to play on that had a massive slur filter which automatically booted you permanently if you typed one in chat. since it was popular, it had a discord, where chuds would come to try and haggle with the owners to get unbanned. I started playing and seeding when the server has just started, and eventually got a trusted role and became a mod and friends with the owner and staff. That was probably the best gaming community i interacted with, eventually misgendering also became bannable when the owner added a pronoun script. Unfortunately bf2042 release broke custom server scripting for bf4, so the owner decided to shut down.
Aww that sucks, that sounds like it would've been fun to play in
It was, we had very strict farming limits to cut down vehicle kills and people leaving, and we also had what we called Pentagon budget cut nights, conquest maps without vehicles. Well, actually each team had one jeep to their name and otherwise all you had were your two legs. This made us extremely popular since most people would get frankly really tired of vehicle tryhards amassing kills (although im guilty of this, I had thousands of hours in helicopters), and driving like a maniac in a jeep with two friends in the middle of panicking enemy infantry was hilarious, even more so when the enemy jeep eventually chased you down. Fuck i really miss that server.
The best balance vehicle-wise was BF1942. Helicopters fucking suck to fight vs.
You could fight them very easily if you had 2/3 friends by constantly harassing them with lock ons and soflam, even the best pilots can’f do shit against those, but doing this solo in a random lobby is pretty much impossible.
