Back when I wasted money on games, I bought shit like Garry’s Mod, PUBG, Rust, etc. because I knew some people who played it and thought we could play together.
It never happened.
So they’re collecting dust in my library and now I only play single player games
Just a couple board games no one will play with me.
oh god that’s the worst. there’s a reason they say it’s easier to turn a gaming group into friends than it is to turn friends into a gaming group.
which games?
Axis & Allies & Zombies, Scythe, and Barrage. I wanna’ play a full match of Scythe with all the expansions (don’t own them yet) so badly.
Yeah, a couple I think
The Forest, we got together with a few guys, everyone played the game before but me, so everyone (but one) tried to show me the ropes and not to spoil anything about the game. We got into a cave and a guy from our group started running killing every enemy by himself, then he rushed to a certain spot where he knew there was a powerful weapon. Everyone got mad and we stopped playing after one session.
Valheim, same dude, he hosted the server and played by himself when we were all away from our computers. When we logged in he already built houses, forges, docks and so on. We got frustrated and stopped player after two sessions.
ArmA 3, for some reason two friends of mine decided to play a milsim, they played two or three times together and “convinced” me to buy the game. I did, we never played.
I do feel guilty about this one, but a friend of mine always blames me for making him buy Space Engineers to play together and we never did, we both have the game but I feel SE is a fantastic yet super overwhelming game, I don’t feel like thinking too much, I don’t feel like learning my way into a rather complex game anymore.
Yeah. I used to be a “Buy Newest Call of Duty, play it all year with friends, buy next one” guy, it wasn’t until we stopped playing games together that I started buying single player. Now, I only play games like Elden Ring and Disco Elysium and the thought of trying to get back into multi-player games makes me nauseous
Yes and no. The thing is that everyone has to be in the mood to play the same thing and that usually doesn’t happen naturally, so I kind of have to sell people on playing a game. Usually after a couple of dota/valorant losses I’ll suggest playing something lighter/noncompetitive. I never got them to play :amogus: though, which annoys me more than it should.
Yes, but board games. The best way to get good at Diplomacy is to be the person employing every possible strategy just to get six of your friends together for a Saturday.
