Long gone are the days of 360 online feeling alive, nobody chats or trolls anymore…
Is the cancel culture/PC soft culture that killed it, or just Gen Z/alpha don’t talk (react) that much anymore?
Party chat killed it. Games used to have only lobby or game chat. That’s how you met new people.
I own a Xbox series X and to this day I dunno how to use that feature. I just hear random voices while playing WWE once in a while
Does this happen more often when you forget to take your meds?
For me it wasn’t consoles, never played online when I bothered with consoles.
For me it was world of Warcraft. Once they started hand holding for the simple players, it just killed online communities for me. There was no point in a guild other then some XP buffs. No one talked or communicated l, online gaming just because kidna…dead.
Stopped playing any ‘community’ based game after that and only ever hosted my own games for my core friends.
Games are nowadays designed around multiplayer, but it feels like they don’t want us to communicate/form communities /groups/guilds etc…and instead just buy stuff and play game to get to the next pay wall.
From what I’ve heard from an over hour long video, it seems more like the game is a joyless slog.
It used to be fun, going on adventures with your friends/guild, but Blizzard kept changing things over time to decrease player agency and to keep grinding. It became less about having fun and more about keeping people logging in.
I don’t know, but I stopped gaming on console when it became impossible to find games that weren’t mainly multiplayer games. I suppose if you’re saying multiplayer is dying, I should take a look at what’s on offer again.
I got so sick of PvP.
Because cheating modders ruined everything and made campaign the only palatable way to play.
Is it dead or just different? Mario Wonder has a quirky kind of online play that saw its own conventions emerge.
Did it die or did it just change? Gaming is still a huge industry and online games are still super popular. What do you mean it “died”?
