Do single player games make you feel lonely?

Do single player games make you feel lonely?

If I exclusively play single player, I start to feel like I'm missing out on something and get antsy. I can't go 2 days without at least hearing people talk.

No, they're just about all I play. My wife is always within eyesight though, watching tv or some other thing, so that's probably helping.

No, in fact, I play single player games to help with my feelings of loneliness.

I feel a lot more lonely if I play some multiplayer game, honestly, because everyone treats those they're playing with like they're bots. Nobody talks or attempts to interact. Single player games at least make an effort to engage you.

I kinda went through a few phases. When I was younger I grew up with pretty much exclusively single player games. Eventually I got a console that could do split screen, which was great when I had friends over, but I still preferred playing single player stuff (usually platformers, shooters, and rpgs). During the 360/ps3 era, I got more used to playing mostly multiplayer games. I kinda lost interest in vidya at that time, but the social aspect kept me playing. Then I took a break from vidya for a while - maybe 2 years or so, although I still browsed around and followed news and stuff. I just had no time / interest in playing.

Recently, however, I've gotten back into it, and have been catching up on all the games I've missed. Multiplayer scarcely interests me now. Instead, it feels more like I've gone full circle. I find a certain comfort in the single player stuff again, just 100%ing some dense rpg or something. It's been nice.

It's probably corny, but I try and be a vocal teammate without talking anyone's ear off. Root for my single match bros

no, because I think single-player games are (or should be) designed for the experience and story. If anything they're the comfiest games

No, but dead multiplayer games do

it fluctuates? especially after a breakup or during a rut in your life you can begin to question the validity of investment in a videogame versus creating new stimuli in your life. The obvious cliches about finding a nice balance never really capture the emotion.

Playing any game for longer than 90 minutes without a break grates my brain a little. If the single player game is good, dynamic, difficult, has technique or humour then I would be less likely the drift towards this prattling sadness.

Conversely though unless I'm playing something competitively online I feel worse pubstomping people to enflate myself and tire earlier without social connection dragging me to continue.

No but they make me feel like an AHDH spastic retard because I can never manage to play them very long. Like I've been trying to play RCT but I always quit after like 30 minutes. Probably just need to lay off the soda.

I unironically play and mod Baldurs Gate 1/2 so that I can experience a grand adventure in a party with six people constantly bantering with each other or talking to / romancing me. It's the only game which really helps me with my depression.

If the single player game is made well, it won't make you feel lonely unless it deliberately wants you to

Sometimes I want time for myself so I play even multiplayer games alone, even if I had friends to play those games with. I am not that sociable, even among my best friends, but if I am invited, I will gladly join them. I rarely initiate conversations or invitations.

Is this the ERP thread?

Thanks to Yea Forums, I never felt lonely. Not even trying to be edgy or tough guy.I love you guys.

I don't play online games more than once. Every time I realize I don't like talking to people on mic.
Never had more than two "friends" (not friends at all) on Steam.

So, single player forever.

I don't know what's it like to be in a relationship. So I don't feel lonely.

yes, my life.

no because I'm not a faggot

no, because I get my social needs met in real life.

Fantasy people are more interesting than real people.
The kind of friendly atmospheres and relationships you see in games and anime doesn't actually exist in real life.
Everyone in real life is a tedious narcissist functioning on a near-animal behavioral pattern that wants to drag you down to their level.

I feel bad for people who don't have at least one lifelong friend and honestly think this.

No, multiplayer games do. Hearing friends chat and play together constantly reminds me that I'm playing alone.

I never get this feeling thanks to the voices in my head. I am never alone.

No. Not being able to talk or discuss about them with somebody makes me feel lonely.

Hell no. I started playing stardew valley and I legit for more comfy in that games community than my own irl community
