  • I can’t get into single player games either. Interacting with NPCs just doesn’t do it for me and to me they’re a tedious way to get a narrative. I hate having to grind to get to the next plot-point only to get stuck behind a boss and by the time it’s beaten, I’ve forgotten the plot. If I’m going to entertain myself alone, I’d rather watch a movie or show, read a book, or work on a project than play through a single player campaign.










  • I mean, yeah fear is a big part of extreme sports, but it isn’t the attraction. You never heard Tony hawk say “hey, watch how scared I get when I attempt this trick”. That’s not the point. It’s about the satisfaction of improving motor skills and the ability to move in new and interesting ways. But mostly it’s just fun. Really it’s not so different from skill-based video games, it’s just that in real life you have to work your way up to the more advanced stuff to do it safely.
