Yeah, there's online play. Haven't done it but it's there. I was always a me against the world kind of guy though.
There are a couple games I like simply for aesthetic these days, I'm appreciating the art of game making in different ways now. I'm finding out I'm A big music guy and top down twin stick shooters are dominating that area. I will present Neurovoider and Jydge as examples. A guy I work with follows hip hop cause he likes the era where rap told a story, and he heard a song from Jydge and said "That's a video game?"
Also I love shooters. Even if I'm garbage with the mechanics I'll have all kinds of fun dying to learn them. And then art style can get me too. Sundered is one of the prettiest games I can remember playing in a while. Dragon Quest 10, was it 11?, was a beautiful game all around. The Tokyo Orchestra did the music and Akira Toriyama did the character models. It was impossible for it to not be fun. I like seeing originality injected into the same tired genres, because I think we're stuck with them. Unless you were looking forward to the next installment of Grand Theft Final Breath of the Wild Far Creed XVII. I miss Sega having creative freedom so much, and miss how they let Treasure survive.
Omg, lol. I farmed deuterium on nine planets to build death stars to defend myself from raiders! Fuck that fantasy world. I'm a general in playtime, not a drone.
