    Am I the only one here who never liked online gaming? I'll sit down for people if we all have the console in front of us and can play together, but...i dunno, the few friends I do have that game don't play the same shit as me, so I've been a single player person my whole life.

    So I can get fuckin right ripped and all I'll miss is some story

        Those were a bit before my time, but as I've said here before - i would do horrible things for a new Rogue Squadron (that isn't shit and captures the magic of the original)

            I remember the death star trench run level was super cool to kid me, loved playing that one and trying to get the gold on it. And when people found out about the Naboo Starfighter? It wasn't a great ship in the game, but DAMN was that huge news!

                The funny thing is they did it again with Rogue Squadron III when nobody figured out the way to unlock the Return of the Jedi arcade game for a long time (although you could unlock it with an Action Replay cheat).

                Remember when games had unlocks that weren’t microtransactions or gacha trash?

                :afflec-smoking:

                Oh, to see those days return again. And I pretty much exclusively play indie shit these days, you'd like there'd be some stuff like that. Nope, nothing that I remember.

                    Oh, sure, absolutely. I've got a lot of stuff where you play to unlock, roguelites and shit are my jam. I think my brain just went immediately to cheat codes and convoluted actions you need to take.

      I don't like online gaming either, prefer single system co-op and it's good thing there are more games nowadays that support it :bloomer: My theory for why companies started to remove split screen from games is so they could sell everyone a console and their own copy of the game.

      Only online game I play is iRacing because none of my friends are into sim racing, and even if they were it's not like you could easily play those games in one room lmao

      Its nice to play games with people you like. Like sure competitive multiplayer with strangers is a whole other topic. But playing games with the bois,girls or enbies is a fun past time and there is a metric fuckton of games to choose from. Its also an easy way to keep in touch with people that you dont see regular.

      I never had a good enough internet connection to play anything online. Rural internet in the US is a fucking joke. I've been single player all my life aside from a few LAN parties in the late 90s. I've been curious though, felt like I probably missed out, but whatever. Single player takes up enough time in my bullshit life, I'm sure multiplayer would only make it worse.

      I was always a generation behind everyone else on consoles. My college years were spent playing single player games, watching TV off my DVR, doing assignments last second, working, going to classes and being a part of a couple of student groups. Just never fell into a crowd that played online. After that adult life settled in.

      Always loved the vibe of local multilayer the few times that I've done it. 4 players with: Mario Party, Crash Team Racing, Bomberman on the SNES, or just nonsense hardcore matches on WWE games. Fond memories of all of that.
