Endangered Species: One Player Games


For the needs of this text, I cannot be acknowledging video games for younger youngsters. The one participant video games and gaming mentioned right here will confer with video games for ages 13 and up.

Whereas there are a lot of high-quality video video games hitting the market yearly, there’s one ‘style’ that’s on its option to being forgotten. One Participant Video games. And even, for that matter, non-PvP (Participant vs Participant) video games.

These days, the overwhelming majority of latest video games have one function, and one function solely, Participant vs Participant fight. Whereas these video games do have their place, there’s extra to gaming than merely operating round taking pictures at one another. Do not get me unsuitable, I am not complaining concerning the violence, removed from it. However the truth is that the majority of those video games all share quite a lot of widespread issues.

For starters, the unofficial (and sometimes hidden) “groups”, that are actually extra like gangs. Teams of mates that band collectively in-game to seek out and harass new gamers. Usually to the purpose the place the brand new gamers haven’t any likelihood of progressing and easily stop enjoying out of frustration. If the individuals doing this stopped and thought of it for a second, they might see how they’re ruining these video games for themselves as a lot as anybody.

Many individuals are solely enthusiastic about these video games. Myself, I’ve spent many hours enjoying many multiplayer video games. However after a time I discovered that the rubbish out weighed the play. I’ve since sworn off multiplayer. I do know quite a lot of individuals personally which have finished the identical, or had little interest in multiplayer to start with.

However there’s a downside for us lovers of solo video games. Every year there appears to be much less and fewer good video games made for us. It would not need to be that method although. There are a pair issues that we are able to, and may do. First, do not pirate your video games. In case you’re a lover of 1 participant video games, purchase them! Present the sport creators that there’s nonetheless a market there. And in the event you’re actually passionate, do what I do.
