And people wonder why I still play Factorio, Parkitect, ATS, or RCT. People suck and being able to ignore them is great.

Single player is the best.

I only play single player games, but couldn't care less about achievements. It is all about exploration, story, game mechanics and modding for me.

People treat achievements as if they are a status symbol. I mean sure, if you don't know what else to do in a game, they can give you some goal, but IMO the game itself should encourage you to reach the goal, not some external badge. The experience doing the task should be the reward in of itself.

It never went away.

I have an RTX 4070 that I've been using to play Half Life. I've owned my copy for a while, but have never played it.

Drives my wife crazy lol

Sometimes I even set the difficulty to Easy to really chill.

Or play factorio... Look at the time, ah it hasn't changed, then an hour later notices the date incremented. Oh

Don't care about achievements play games till like 70% then drop them. If it stops being fun I'm done, finishing a game is never a requirement don't have time for that

Friends don't let friends play League of Legends

I want to play my character, not just play towards whatever the optimal setup is

Please recommend me your favourite story games. This is me and I'm in need of a good 'book.' :)

Edit: I'm going to tell you all to play Night in the Woods. Now, it is set in my home region and felt like a game made for me, but I think it has messages anyone could relate to.

I almost never buy multiplayer-focused games anymore. Of course not all gamers are shitty, but enough are to matter. Having left those games behind I can see how they were taking more joy from my life than they added. If friends want to do private co-op that's cool, but it's also rarer now that we're all older.

As far as sales go, I love playing a year or two behind new releases. Patched games at a discount ftw and timing doesn't matter in single-player games.

i have like 370 hours of factorio, and i've only really played it over the period of about. 4-5 months, though i've owned it for a year or two now.

Factorio is just one of those games. For anybody that likes open world sandbox games and technical stuff, you already own factorio, yell at me in the replies.

What did they take from us? I haven't played an online game in years now.

Don’t forget that this also unlocks using Linux for a lot of folks now.

Indie games are absolutely killing it these days, I love em. In Stars and Time, Animal Well, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, so many are fantastic.

not a big gamer but saw the civ 6 was discounted to 2 usd had to get it ofc and enjoying the single player life

Modding. And you can play others with it too.

My absolutely most favorite single player and gaming experiences in general are:

1. Outer Wilds
2. Tunic

Their replayability is 0 but man do these experiences stay with you. I still think about outer wilds daily and i finished it last year.

Also a word of caution:
Both these games function with knowledge-based progression, so almost everything you look up about these games can be considered a spoiler and will lessen your experience with them!

I typically buy all the "best game of the year" games at steep discounts. Some of them really embrace a "live" game service and require hundreds of hours a season, which isn't my thing.

But my most played game last year was Vampire Survivors, A single player game that looks like it came from the SNES era.

The rage-inducing MOBA’s what? Real cliffhanger at the end of this meme.

And then you play Xcom 2 and realize that Dota 2 was meditative by comparison

fuck MOBAs

I got Max Max on steam for $5 a few years ago. Worth it.
