If THOSE are the examples you got for multiplayer, who wouldn’t. There are good multiplayer games too, just not those three.
Single player games

MP co-op. All you need is 2+ friends and you’re good.
Apex Legends is okay too because your team isn’t ashamed to admit that hiding for as long as possible is a valid tactic and everything comes down to your first and final fight some 15 mins into the round.

That tactic is a double bladed sword because it means you don’t get to practice or warm-up for that final fight. Murdering noobs is a good way to get your head in the game and get ready to fight the best.

No thanks. Multiplayer is stressful and full of toxicity. Singleplayer is actual relaxation and entertainment for me.

Plenty of good mp games like most things in life don’t just take the thing they want you to.

Me completely. Sorry, I don’t wanna play DBD or space rocks or the tenth “analog horror giggle backrooms” to come out in the past 5 years.
I just wanna “I’m not crying you’re crying” about owls in Ori.

i never played multiplayer games, im open to it i try them sometimes if i see a cool one, i have finished 2 player local games like unravel but i feel like my gaming time is my gaming time i dont want to speak, read or engage in any way with humans (also things like mmo’s that take away your freedom of choosing when to play) so i just grab my lil character and go for my lil adventure

To have it fair, there are peaceful online video-games, or Artworks, too, I believe, and I’ve been contributing and participating in one ineffably magnificent miracle… The Elder Scrolls Online… since 2016…
I have already more than 240,000 screenshots and hundreds of video recorded for all the years, or more…
Currently, I’m also maintaining a few add-ons at ESOUI (to dim or hide certain GUI elements only).Yet, indeed, usually, a single-player Artworks allow you to actually hear more, see more, notice more… to actually listen to the Universe adventured… where no fear exists to be suddenly disconnected or interrupted…
Once this city pulsed with energy. It was dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it’s something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most didn’t notice, or didn’t care. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn’t.
Order. Purpose. Direction. No more than that. It’s your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom. Time was, the Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace.
It’s true that our organization stretches back to the Order of the Assassins, or Hashishim, but not in the way you might imagine. The order hasn’t so much lasted as been continually revived… It’s the Idea that has lasted. The System. Or the Desire, every thinking person’s desire to give the world some decent organization.

Vlad was right. There are no choices, nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask “why me?” and “what if?”. When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn’t be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.

i wonder if one is more addictive than the other. I like the way i can get up at any time in a singleplayer game and get a snack or stretch my legs, i don’t like how multiplayer games require multiple hour long sit downs. The people who seem to grow tired of gaming as a hobby are multiplayer gamers rather than singleplayer gamers

There's no shortage of multiplayer games with short match lengths. Fighting games are like ~3 minutes on average, and you can just stop clicking rematch when you want to take a break.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yes, so then I guess part of my rejection of multiplayer games is just having had poor playmates who demanded my full and unbroken attendance to the gaming session

I’m gonna be 43 in October. Grew up on twitchy 90s shooters like Doom, Quake and Unreal Tournament.
I’m gravitating towards retro and cozy games.
I’m tired, boss. Dog tired.

Who has time for guilds or mmos that expect you to get on every day.
I already have a job. I don’t be needing more obligations and responsibilities.

rdr2 scratches both relaxing and random violence itches pretty well.

I feel this man. Most of my gaming is cozy stuff like Minecraft, Terraria, or visual novels. The weekend might see me playing some Destiny 2 or Helldivers or some random friendslop game with the boys, but otherwise I’m just focused on chillness.
