How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life? (beehaw.org)

What games do you play? Who do you play with?

As I've gotten older, I've struggled to keep up with multiplayer games. I don't really want to play unless I have someone to play with, and finding someone to play with is more trouble than it's worth. I have friends and family who game, but we always run into one of two main problems: -1) Our schedules simply refuse to align, or -2) We can't agree on what to play.

I'm always on the lookout for cool indie multiplayer games, whether that means large-scale like Battlebit or small-scale like Deep Rock Galactic. Some of my friends are either always chasing that absolute latest game (i don't), or they're real into MMOs (I'm not), or they have very particular preferences about which aesthetics they will take a chance on. It's a struggle, but I'm always working to figure it out.

So what do you think? How have you fit multiplayer gaming into your life?

Cooperative games! Games where you work with many people. Games where you talk to people in the game. Great way to meet people, and also bring your friends along. Social aspects of gaming are more engaging than gaming by itself.
