Same. Every big multiplayer game feels like a Skinner box made of dark patterns and FOMO. I can’t look past that so I just choose not to play.
Me playing New Vegas for the 17th time…
I have! Beat Dust many years ago, and played a good bit of Frost. Now I’m more into perfectly fixing, tweaking, and expanding NV and TTW.

playing single player games and only doing side quests
Why in the absolute fuck would I ever want to play video games with strangers online? I didn’t get the appeal when Halo came out and it was hype and I detest it now cause it’s killed in person multi player. Playing video games with your friends on the same couch fucking rocks. It’s peak gaming. The worst shovelware ever becomes a good time cause you’ve got a pal you’re playing against who’s dealing with the same jank, so unlike a bad single player, it’s still fair cause it’s equally broken for everyone and it becomes a funny competition based mostly around who’s better at overcoming the game’s flaws. Gotta hand it to the wii in it’s early days cause that’s the most extreme and extremely successful version of this concept put to practice. And fuck plating online with friends who aren’t that far as well, go over and play together. Eat chips. It’s a good time.
