You need friends to play games?
About ten to twenty years ago there was hardly ever a game out there that required more than one player to play it, because most games back then had a focus on one player. Another player could join in some games but the focus was nine out of ten times on player one. But these days it´s all about the co-op experience and playing online multiplayer against your friends or strangers. So I can´t help but wonder if these days you´re required or expected to have friends that play the same games as you.
You don´t need friends to play games?
That depends on what type of games you play, even in certain games that are made for playing in a team you can try to solo it but that experience is usually a more frustrating one because the computer controlled characters are often terrible. So you do need friends? It´s always nice to have friends, I really do mean friends and not assholes, especially when they play the same games as you and like playing games with you. Unfortunately that´s not always how it goes, which means that you either have to take a gamble with strangers and/or computer controlled characters or not play those type of games at all. Which is a shame because some of those games are fun, unfortunately friends are usually not included with the game...
Ok one more time, do you need friends to play a game?
Nope, you can play games all by yourself if you want to. But the problem is that there are certain games that do require more than one player to actually play it or sometimes there are game modes or areas in a game you can only acces when you´re in a team. This might be the future of gaming, you always playing with other people and keeping the solo experience more limited. I would really hate to see that happen but games are starting to point in that direction. When you come home after a shitty day on school or your work you just want to relax and that usually doesn´t include joining some random lobby with 5 year olds telling you how much you suck. If you´re lucky enough to know people that also play the same games as you and don´t mind playing with you then that might be cool as well. I guess it just depends on your mood, because a lot of gamers have moments that they just want to play solo.
