No, I didn't reach that conclusion.

I enjoyed playing bf4 on the PS4 while it was still available—it provided a calm and enjoyable experience on the couch, with everyone sharing similar skill levels since only the controller was used. I attempted PC FPS games but didn’t feel the same satisfaction as before; I’m likely alone in that regard. The servers were generally straightforward without complex rules or high ticket fees. The gameplay was fast and easy to play. Eventually, I sold my PS4 to upgrade my gaming setup, as multiplayer was the only thing I missed.
In recent times, I prefer single-player titles more, like replaying GTA 5 on 20fps on a PS3, which runs smoothly with my i7 and 970. It’s nice and satisfying. However, I grew bored with online modes. Overall, back then games were much better, especially in FPS, and I enjoyed spending time on titles like Bad Company 2, Mw2, Code 4, and War of the Worlds until consoles became more complex and online play shifted to a different landscape.
I’m curious—do many people today favor single-player games over multiplayer?
I never liked multiplayer. I only play games when I need some solitude away from others.
You were talking about using a PC with the KB mouse and flight stick, where players perform exceptionally well in multiplayer. I wasn’t suggesting that controller players can’t improve—they just get better over time—but casual gaming on PC makes multiplayer quite challenging.
I think what was being discussed is that most people used similar gear, so there wasn’t a clear edge from better hardware. For me, it comes down to the specific game. I stop playing FPS games online now. The ones I do play are mostly online-only titles like League of Legends, and I’m a regular GW2 WvW player.
Well, if theres a singleplayer game i really like (like GTA V ATM) i play it until the end without anything else. And that comes in handy at the moment because they are doing some internet cable work near here. The positive: I may get fibre. The negative: i have 2mbit/s download and minimum 200ping in cs:go
I’ve faced tough team competitions like League of Legends and consistently struggled with my teammates. I also played casual games such as GTA Online, where the online scene feels chaotic and unproductive. These experiences have made me doubt multiplayer gaming overall. However, I still enjoy playing with friends, which remains a positive part of my experience.
I used to love playing multiplayer games from the beginning of my setup. Recently, though, I’ve mostly stuck to single-player titles because I enjoy getting lost in the story. Missing multiplayer is tough—there are so many options, and picking something engaging takes effort. :mellow:
