As a person who went from playing countless story games as a kid to barely being able to finish a single story game per year as an adult this definitely helped me remind myself to go back to my roots.

I’m glad to hear man! I feel the exact same way. I use to love story games like Zelda and stuff, but as I got older they are harder to play. Definitely still worth devoting time to though! What were some of your favorites as a kid?

My problem with modern story games is that they feel more like movies with tiny gameplay segments rather than games with good stories. You spend most of the game walking from point A to point B, talk to am npc/watch a cutscene, then walk from point B to point C. The last actual game with a story that blew me away was War of the Lions and that was forever ago

@@goodtimesgivecancer1 There are a ton of exceptions to this rule though if you look at more than just AAA mainstream titles. Tons of games have excellent stories. Baldur's Gate 3 is the most recent example of this but I am blown away by game's stories all the time. You just gotta keep an open mind and play a lot of games while avoiding all the AAA shovelware that companies like Blizzard and Ubisoft release.

I think that comfort point makes the most sense. Why do something different when what I know I already enjoy is right there? My main 2 games I’ll return to are Warframe and Rocket League. Every once in a while I can find something else to sink my teeth into for a couple hundred hours, or more, but I’ll always return to those 2 for more.

I think the biggest reason why I can't play most single player games anymore is that thanks to RU-vid and Let's Plays, I don't need to play a game to experience its story, and once I know its story, I don't feel like playing it for myself because I already experienced the story. That's why I'm staying blind on Baldur's Gate 3 until it releases on Xbox, because that's my only console as of right now.

another thing to consider is that multiplayer games being inherently more repayable makes them a more efficient purchase, if I only have $70 to spend on a new game, it would be a better purchase to buy the newest COD then to buy the newest God of war, I will get more out of COD when looking at money spent to time played, this makes multiplayer games more of a safe purchase, I felt this recently with the RE4 remake, heard it was good but I personally didn't really like it, thats a $60 purchase I wont be getting back, with multiplayer games they stay unique just long enough to where even if I don't end up liking the game, I can find fun out of it messing around with my friends, if I dont like a multiplayer game, I know I can make fun out of it with friends, if I don't like a singleplayer game, I have to just deal with my now regretful purchase this isn't to say I only play multiplayer games, breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are 2 of my favorite games of all time, and I have been enjoying starfield so far

I'm not sure that single player games have higher requirements than multiplayer games. One reason that I don't want to play multiplayer games is that they require a huge amount of hours for you to to be competitive. It's not fun to always lose or be on the bottom of the score board so you need to play a lot to be successful. In single player games on the other hand you don't have to be bleeding edge to enjoy the story and the gameplay. You can even cheat or get help if you just want to progress the story.

On the topic of repayability one thing no one ever talks about is how different replayability is between MP and SP. Replayability in SP is often seen as a tangible aspect like new game plus or side quest and critics of SP will cite that as to SPs superiority but what a lot of people overlook, including pro MP people, is the human element of MP not found in SP. I remember having a conversation with someone on discord who hates MP because theres no replayability, its just the same experience over and over according to him where as with fallout 4(his prefered game) he said he could run so many different characters and playthroughs. I made the point that replayability is subjective much like how genre is subjective and that a big part of replayability for MP is experience. For example my prefered game is R6 Siege, and the whole reason i love playing it is because even after years of playing and being in the higher skill brackets i am STILL learning new things. New angles to watch something, New ways to approach a situation, new ways to outsmart peopl, and even new ways to counter these new idea im learning if when someone uses them against me. This constant unending potential for new knowledge is a form of replayability. Another somewhat related aspect is people dont keep playing the same way forever. At a certain point all the best players can play at a similar and eventually someone somewhere is going to get creative and find a new solution that eventually all the best players will copy and adapt to and it will eventually trickle down the skill ladder creating what we as gamers call "metas". This constant evolution drivin by competition leaves so much room for untapped potential and is a form of replayability.

Ok but there's also games in the middle. There are plenty of titles, primarily or exclusively in single-player, which do not ask much of you in the beginning and are not some huge emotional investment major plotline to follow etc, while having tons of replayability and rewarding time spent from the player. Think of Tetris, Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Slay the Spire, Candy Crush, Stardew Valley, you get the idea. Some of these titles are absolutely massive in terms of popularity, and can get pretty notorious for having some of the playerbase clocking in insane hours spent similar to online multiplayer titles like League and CSGO. I don't even wanna imagine what those soccer moms who only play candy crush got for their hours played Putting life/time concerns aside, I think having one of such titles in your repretoire makes for a much healthier/well-rounded game rotation

No need for a video to make you feel great about quitting league.

As you get older you start to see how a lot of these games don't respect the players time. Purposely drawn out actions, separated shops, bad inventory management to bloat perceived content of a game and completion time. The writing and dialogue is really bad too in 99% of games. Being older I still love games, but definitely appreciate a game that is more engaging, dynamic, and respects your time. Doom Eternal is a good example, while Counter Strike is a multiplayer example. You jump right in, lots of tactics, options, games never play the same. Doom respects the player and explains mechanics and enemies in a straight forward way so you know what you're stepping into instead of wasting time and effort dying over and over to learn the patterns. For multi, playing with real people is always going to be more interesting than bots until AI gets way better (or devs actually put effort into AI like they did with FEAR). Poor onboarding and obfuscated game mechanics are really annoying too. Having to go on youtube to learn mechanics or hidden things is a huge issue. Games do such an awful awful job at teaching the player, transparency with game mechanics, and onboarding as a whole. It can be an effort to get into a new game proper and a lot of the time I just don't think its worth it.

Only occasionally played SP games but now as an adult I've done a complete switch, I mostly play SP games. I'll occasionally play online MP but not for too long.

I’ve always bought games but never committed to just focusing on one. I stopped buying new SP games since…. I guess since Ghost of Tsushima. I’ll buy any SP games on discount. I made it a rule for myself to never buy games for $70 especially Persona 3 Reload which I was excited for cuz I loved P3Fes but had enough of Altus BS. Plus they’ll more than likely release a new edition like they did with the other Persona titles like Persona 4 and Persona 5. Plus seeing how these new $70 releases are often disappointing and makes me question, “Yeah games like Armored Core 6 have more worth and its $60. Not only that, a PS5 Upgrade for FREE!? Are these games really worth $70?”. Nahh. I used to be a trophy hunter. Sometime down the road or for a long time, it felt like a chore, sucking away my enjoyment for the game and also wasting time. Sure sure, replayability but for me it felt like a chore doing this crap for games I enjoyed but wasn’t that invested into the world. Anywho, now that I stopped doing this, I feel more relaxed playing games like a normal gamer boy. Among all the games I have and managed to play and beat, currently Armored Core 6 has been a blast to continue playing. Will definitely play and NG++ also haven’t touched the PVP cuz I want more chrome. Also continued from where I left off on Yakuza 0 and it also has me hooked. I have the other games in the series still waiting to be played from 1 and 2 Kiwami (Remakes), 3-5, 7 Like a Dragon and Ishin. Will get the next two. Nowadays I look for games that have SP and MP so I can play with friends. If there’s a SP game like Yakuza/Like a Dragon that offers over 20 or so hours of things to do and priced at $60 or less then you got me.

Me after two hours of Starfield I hopped on valorant. The only recent single player game I liked was Hogwarts legacy.. it was linear, difficult enough, but immersive and the narrative was set in a world I grew up in. Not as much replay-ability, but I’d rather play a solid linear game once than a game like cyberpunk or Starfield which has too many options or kind of sand-boxy. (Having ADHD doesn’t help) I always end up on competitive games. Or occasionally stuff like insomniacs Spider-Man’s when those games came out - again shorter / sweet linear but immersive story games

As someone who have played both, MP doesn't give me as much replayability, mostly due to I hate competitive gaming so I never want to get on. And a lot of SP games I play may have a linear story but has ways to do things differently and can be played in short bursts if wanted to. And also having to sync up with friends can be extremely difficult for MP while SP you only need yourself. Also there are a lot of SP games that isn't linear and very open ended: Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Skyrim, etc. Where you decide how the game is played and can find a lot of different ways to play it and don't need a lot of time as you can pick up and play for a few minutes and get off. I did enjoy your video but it feels very biased towards MP over SP, when there's a lot of SP games that isn't time consuming and have a lot of replayability. Also that's not including rhythm games that take time to get good and invest in a lot of hours trying to be perfect while also being fun, replayable and most times SP.

I wish more game developers would implement the kind of NG+ Devil May Cry has in their games, it's pretty much the only kind of NG+ that matters. What's the point of carrying over all your gear to the next playthrough if nothing can challenge you? Up the difficulty, change every encounter, and make the stronger enemies appear early, maybe even introduce a new mechanic in the hardest difficulty too (devil trigger for enemies in DMC's case).

I play really niche games like older Devil May Cry, Godhand, etc, so feeling like you have missed challenge/mastery aspect for single player games as well. These games are known for having deep combat systems that having a few runs doesn't give em justice, despite having same content unlike roguelikes.

A lot of single player games I will play through once and probably never play through them again or for a very long time.

I played tons of platformer and story based games like RPGs. Then I discovered competitive fighting games and it was a new gaming experience for me. Discovering how far you can push the game against other live players at an arcade. I devoted 10 years to Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and ignored every new game I bought because I kept discovering new strategies. In the fighting game scene, I discovered players who specialize in one game. There are those who only play Street Fighter 2 Turbo to this day in 2023. Having too many games to play is a good problem from the gamers side. I remember back in the NES days, I rented Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers from Blockbuster and beat it in 30 minutes. Then replay it because it was simply enjoyable to play. Like rewatching a good movie.

Outside of cod and the sports games most games are free and have been around for many years. Ive been playing rocket league on and off for 7 years and am now in the top 5% or so of players its a fun game and has long term payoff in progress. My favorite single player games i can replay every year or so and devote quite a bit of time but it gets stale since you know where everything is and how to optimize it. Go back and play any singleplayer game you havent done in awhile and you will probably be surprised at how much easier it is than what you remember the first yime around

I feel like my love for competitive multiplayer shooters comes from that instant gratification of knowing that I'm improving, instead of the slower nature of single player games when you don't really feel like your improving at anything due to how linear most single player story games are (with the exception of games like breath of the wild or GTA).

For me, Monster Hunter fills the perfect niche for this. It's absolutely endless replayability, because you're always challenging yourself to find new ways to beat the monster, to beat it faster, exploring new play styles, trying new builds, and there's so many endless combinations of skills and playstyles that it's pretty much infinite. Not to mention the combat itself is absolutely exhilarating. But it's also multiplayer, so you can go burn time goofing off with people and the level of challenge varies greatly due to all the different types of monsters in the game. Truly my favorite franchise of all time.

I am a core gamer and i play all genres of games but as i grow older getting married and having two kids... I realize i don't have the luxury to play big open worlds or story games like elden ring (i finished elden ring over five times completionist runs by the way). Not because i don't have the time but that time is better spent working to earn a living to sustain my family and get a good retirement plan... I live in a 3rd world country, i could've made gaming into a career if i was in a first world country... Recently i stumbled into Hades and boy do i love the game! Cos in between tasks and work i could finish the game twice or thrice and have some uniques experience... I think even the story and massive open world games should have a replayability components as standard option... After my first completionist run of GOW ragnarok i find my self stripped of all motivation to play through it again....

I just like games where I can practice for many hours and then see the results of the hard work paying off (by comparing myself to other real players). Like grinding in a single-player game but has real-life consequence (e.g. developing muscle memory, improving reaction time, motor skills, etc). CSGO is perfect for this, you can develop skills to be really quick at recognising threats, doing something about the threat, quick thinking, pattern-recognition, problem solving, teamwork, communication, mind-games, etc.

My two cents is that I believe it centers around how much attention people have nowadays. Actually, it's how little attention we have nowadays. Multiplayer games are usually short matches which end in a couple minutes. SIngle player games involve you to pay attention for longer periods of time which is usually harder for the adderall aged group of gamers. Also, how competitive are you? I could give two shits about winning any kind of COD, Fortnite, Battle Royal ++, etc match. Most people who arent competitive arent stuck in the same cycle as you.

That’s fair. Not everyone is the same as each other, but I do think as you age and have less time, you won’t want to spend it on long term investments.

I love both types, but man it can be hard to do the story games because they take so long… I don’t have time anymore lol

Listening to this as i queue up for my 6000th game of aram sure does hit different. Counter to that tho, i generally only play single palyer games as long as im enraptured by rhe gameplay loop. Hardspace shipbreaker is one of my favorite single player experiences of the past few years, and by most accounts its a lonely game opining about workers rights that probably fell short with its intended message. Rogue legacy, an indie roguelite platformer from the early 2010s, has sucked up 650 hours of my life according to steam. Storytelling in video games is almost inconsequential to me. I put more than 200 hours into cyberpunk, just driving around and exploring, i never finished the main storyline but that hasnt dampened my enjoyment of the game at all.
