Zahille7, do games w Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

I like a lot of singleplayer games, but I also play games that can be played multiplayer (open world survival crafting games).

Borderlands is pretty good imo. You can play alone, but you never really feel alone with all the characters constantly asking you to do stuff for them.

Someone else said Kenshi, which is strictly singleplayer but you can build up your party and have multiple squads running around, taking care of things. And there are generated conversations between them. And there’s tons of mods that can change or add things to the game; personally I’ve added a couple new subraces to the vanilla ones, a couple new whole races of characters to play with, new building and weapon types and such.

Edit: Untitled Goose Game and Thank Goodness You’re Here, or even any cozy game really.

The new Star Wars: Jedi games like Fallen Order and Survivor are great singleplayer games without making you feel alone. Mostly cause of BD-1.

I keep seeing aa lot of neat things about Kenshi, but when I tried it out I felt completely lost and lost interest before I really figured anything out.

I don’t like when games baby you, but I do like a little hand-holding to get me started.

Maybe I’m just a big dum and turned off the tutorial/tips/skipped something I shouldn’t have? Not sure but your comment definitely makes me want to give it another go when I have a couple of days free.

Zahille7,

Go watch the General Sam Kenshi vids. The early ones before he knows what he’s doing. That’s what got me into the game in the first place.

Kenshi.

The world is brutal, but its possible to pay for some company, buy some slaves, or maybe, juuuuust maybe, find a quirky friend.

Zahille7,

Damn. First Kenshi recommendation I’ve seen in the wild.

+1 for Kenshi

sp3tr4l,

Hahah, there are dozens of us, dozens!

But no seriously if you can get past the extremely weird … basically early 00’s style mmo control scheme… for what nowadays you’d expect to be third person ARPG controls… Kenshi is an absolutely incredible game, and it’s got a lively modding scene as well.

“Binary Domain” is an option. You are almost all the time accompanied by 1-3 NPCs of your Team. The game also has a, more or less working, voice System to talk to your team through your microphone. That way you can give orders and have some small talk. The game is quite good, give it a try.

For squad mates that function better, Star Wars Republic Commando is a damn fine FPS.

True, but I think that the microphone communication that Binary Domain offers is a unique feature that OP will appreciate.

DO NOT play shadow of the colossus… Not a big gamer but never felt so alone in a game…

ChewTiger,

You’re absolutely correct. It’s lonely in an achingly beautiful way.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. You will work together with an increasing team of friends and allies to survive ridiculous circumstances.

The story is incredible, but the character building is excellent. Great fast paces action RPG with party switching, so you’ll always have 2 playing with you. The story really shows deep friendship development, especially if you ensure to do all side quests and talk to characters at various story points.

HubertManne, do games w Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

in cyberpunk 2077 your characters sorta never alone after a certain point.

AgentGrimstone, do gaming w Are souls games really as hard as everyone says?

It’s just as hard as any other game on the hardest difficulty. The only difference is there is no difficulty setting.

Try it out. You don’t have to be amazingly good, you just have to be persistent and learn from your mistakes.

@sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works avatar

you just have to be persistent

Being consistent is actually the hardest part of the games for me…

AgentGrimstone,

I was talking about persistence, as in not giving up. Persistence is a must for souls games so you’re going to have to like the process of failing a lot and then finally getting the relief that comes at the very end.

sockenklaus,
@sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh lol I totally misread that. 🤣

Of course you’re correct: persistence is key and much more important than consistency (as in: perfectly nail every dodge, which is my problem).

Like many others already said: Probably the best take is to “understand” that dying is not failure but part of the progression system. But instead of grinding experience points to progress your character (which is totally possible in dark souls) you grind real experience by repeating difficult parts over and over again and progress as a player.

It’s actually extremely clever game design.

nyctre, (edited ) do games w My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them

Except for like 3 helm pieces which they released like 15 years ago and have since made available through others means, there’s literally nothing beyond a few mounts and pets. So your whole “mounts, cosmetics, miscellaneous” thing is very misleading. Other than that, I agree with you and I’m glad you’ve managed to get away. Kudos.

Edit: seems I missed a few of sets that they released in the last 4 years. 5 of them to be precise. And a pair of wings and a helm piece. Some of which were given for free to subscribers before being put on the store.

    I checked the site before posting just to make sure because I didn’t wanna post BS, but it seems I missed a couple of things. I apologize, they also released 6 cosmetic sets in the last 4 years, an extra helm and a pair of wings. Some of which they simply gave for free to subscribers before putting on the store.

    That’s still less than you’re making it sound. Definitely not one every month. Again, not defending them or disagreeing with you, I just don’t like it when people make things sound worse than they are to get people to agree with them.

    Also, that transmig restriction bit is also a lie. There’s quite a few cosmetics that are armor class agnostic. I know because I have them and I’ve never spent a dime in the store. Here is a list of most of them.

    Randomgal,

    I’d you don’t have a job, and can play 12 hours a day to farm that gear. Great! Enjoy school life. But adults don’t have time to farm all that shit, purchasing is effectively the only way to get it. It is disingenuous to conflate "being obtainable ’ with “no need to ever purchase”.

    nyctre,

    There’s a list of 2000 pieces. And only 5 sets that you can buy. Also every month you get free trader’s tender for simply logging in. You use that to buy those pieces. If you do a few world quests you get even more. I literally cap out on the monthly 1k tender by playing a few hours. Why are you people being so negative for no reason.

    There’s plenty of things to hate. There’s plenty of things even blizzard are guilty of. Look at overwatch for thousdands of reasons. But wow is one of the games that’s most respectful of your time. Nowadays and as far as MMOs go, that is. I literally have a 4 piece set without ever stepping foot in a normal raid. Only did LFR once, got 1 piece. The other 3 were given for free. You get so much shit in this game by simply logging in and playing a couple of hours it’s insane.

    If you want the entire transmog collection the game has to offer, that’s been released over the course od 20 years, yes, you have to grind. But let’s not pretend you need to play a lot to have some nice sets. That hasn’t been true in a long time.

    Randomgal,

    The length of your explanation should make you realize why paying is easier. Hell, I’d pay not to read your explanation.

    nyctre,

    Play the game for a few hours or pay. Yeah, complicated. You sound like you have too much disposable income if you’re so willing to pay for stuff… also, some of us enjoy playing games and don’t mind doing it.

    Randomgal,

    I sound like I play free to plays bro lol If you’re paying to play it’s because you want to.

    nyctre,

    Nah, if you actually played free to play games then you’d know that wow’s mtx store is a baby compared to most games such as overwatch, lol, dota, cs, valorant, PoE, Warframe, etc. and you wouldn’t be arguing with me over calling out a person for exaggerating over 6 released armor sets in the span of 4 years.

    Randomgal,

    Thank for telling me about my life bro. You’re surely smart.

    nyctre,

    Two personal insults in two different comments, that’s also a mark of an intelligent argument.

    Randomgal,

    I’m glad you’re aware of your limitations.

    nyctre,

    Oooh, a “NO YOU!” response! Amazing, you’re 3/4. Keep going, please.

    Randomgal,

    No u.

    Titanfall 2: You have a titan as a companion for most of the game (there are segments where you’re on your own though). And it’s a fantastic single player campaign.
