anyone that's the great thing about it. when you get bored you go to the next one because they're free. and when you do find one that you really like you can play it for longer. if you play with your friends you have fun even if the game is bad
Apex, Path of exile. Paladins. Rogue company, Dauntless. Conqueror's blade is a great one although i haven't played that one for a while, warframe, heroes of the storm, whatever. even the mostly unkown garbage. when a new f2p game is released we play it for a while and we chat while we play
This is exactly what i hate about mutiplayer gaming. I spend all day talking to people at work. 10 hour shifts solving peoples bullshit problems. I don't want to talk to people. I want to escape into a fantasy realm, a different world even for a bit. It doesn't happen when i hear some young kid screaming into a mic or some asshole blasting there crappy gen z rap-pop or cardi b nonsense. I don't want to hear some douchebag bragging about frags and how no one is pulling their weight.
I also don't like chatting over a game, especially one with lore and reading. Nothing is more annoying to me when i am trying to explore or read a lore text or figure something out and in a multiplayer game everyone is chatting making dick jokes and pushing forward instead of relishing in what is there. I like the journey and the escapism, and multiplayer doesn't get me there.
Even games I would like path of exile, from what i hear now all the stuff you get from mobs is trash and you have to trade with real people... No, I don't wan't to interact with more real people.
F2P makes all that worse as now you have to grind out shit or pay real money. I see people bragging on here about spending 400 in one game. for what some cosmetic hat.
I want everything included in one purchase price, not some over $100 insanity. There is only a handful of games I play on the phones too because of this, almost all are ports or roguelikes that don't have micros.
Call me old all you want, call me a "boomer" Idgaf! I like what I like.
When i was a kid i played mostly platformers, action adventure , jrpgs, rpgs, fighters, turnbased strategy, real time strategy, city builders, roguelikes, etc..All single player.
When i played a lot of multiplayer it was during the start of real time 3d acceleration on pc -
unreal tournament 99 and 2004, Quake 3, RTCW, medieval total war 2, quake wars, battlefield 2, and tons of strategy games. ( i still played all those great single player games of the era and the jrpgpolloza which was ps1) .
Sure some times i would play with friends but it wasn't that often as most of us have adult lives with responsibilities, kids, jobs, schedules.
Now I play basically platformers, action adventure, jrpgs, rpgs, fighters, turnbased strategy, real time strategy, city builders, roguelikes, etc.. IT's gone full circle.
So I guess only PC indies and strategy, VR games, Sony, Nintendo, Eastern Europe and Japanese devs, and indies will get my money... well i was already leaning that way due to the woke crap infesting some western devs too, so be it.
The good news is I have a 2 miles long backlog on multiple systems. Problems come when some of those systems die and there isn't backwards compatiblity (whatever nintendos next thing scares me as my switch colleciton is massive and that battery will eventually die).
