- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Games are way more fun with other people.
When I play games by myself it is to relax and unwind. I like everything from real life solitaire to strategy, RPG, and action games. I prefer to play with others, given the chance though.
Perhaps you have never found a single player game that you like or you just prefer the company of others? It is hard to tell without more information.
i honestly dont really know myself
I had this friend who had sailed the Pacific Ocean by himself and climbed several mountains. A very outdoors kind of guy and he decided he would try computer gaming. He put together a badass PC and got a bunch of realistic flight gear like throttles, rudders, badass flight stick, extra touch screens, etc.
He spent all this time and effort and just could not get into the simulator he built. Computer gaming just wasn't for him.
i dont think thats the case for me cause i love like everything gaming, but its just hard to get into the actual games (i mostly play on older consoles btw)
I grew up playing consoles, what console is your current favorite and what genre of games do you like?
oo i kinda like all of my consoles equally (wii, ps2, xbox 360 and technically switch but i barely have any games), and i think i like arcade style games? im not really that into massive story games
One of the games I really enjoyed from the PS2 was the Shadow of the Colossus. It is an action RPG with almost zero storyline. Other notable mentions are GTA SA, Gran Turismo 3 and Tony Hawk 3.
I had the GameCube and played RE4 and it was amazing, I think they released it on on the PS2 as well.
For the WII, I loved Pikmin and Super Mario Galaxy. I used to play in a WII bowling league and it was a lot of fun.
I was not into the XBox 360 but I was playing on the PC at the time so some shared titles like BioShock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Portal 2, Batman Arkham, Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry all were really good.
I think a sone of these would probably qualify as massive story games so they may not be your cup of tea.
Depends on the people and on the games.
