However, when I am in jolly mood, the fun doubles while playing with friends. I play alone when I'm just in the mood for it, I just play some soft music in the background whilst playing ( I don't usually play with headsets ). I still make out time to have friends over and we all play video games together and it's always a fun moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ensures we always have a great time and everyone gets a laugh out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Just as I love watching sports with family and friends, that's same way I love playing video games. It makes sense with the crowd especially from family and friends. But in the sense I can't get in touch with my family or friends, I'll confidently play with AI opponents.

Our mood can actually decide that for us because when you are in a very good mood, you might be free to play with friends but when you're in a bad mood, it would be a nice decision to play alone.

Jasmin Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Gaming is not only about being in a mood to plat, gaming is also about whether you have energy to play. When you are very tired, you will not be able to play the game. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Most of the time I prefer to play alone, and I rather enjoy having games that I play only with a certain group of friends and vice versa. One of my D&D players introduced me to a friend group and we play video games quite frequently, even though I originally wanted to play D&D exclusively and that be it. I treat video game friendships like any other relationship: there's a time and a place for communication, and usually it's not outside of that one game. Maybe that's just me, and maybe that seems exhausting. I regret losing friends simply to distance from the game, but it's bittersweet. I've got the memories playing with them and the good times we've had are what matter most. That said, I don't want to go through that every time I play something. If there's one drawback to playing with other people it's being conscious of them. Am I going too fast, too slow, am I taking the spotlight from them, am I lagging behind, do they want to go this way or that way? It really chives my spuds when my current game friend asks "another round?" or "what do you want to play?" and I'm thinking you invited me, you pick. They mean well, and I appreciate them asking rather than dictating more often than not. If I had to choose one way to play for the rest of my days, it'd be solo. There's many other hobbies I can induldge in with other people where we're all on even footing, but when I play a video game I want to play it, not wait or rush, or worry about the other person.

Heatman Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I don't have any problems with playing games with my friends or playing alone. In fact, I enjoy it a lot better when my friends brings the competition for me. It makes me better at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm too tired to play, there's no way I would be in the mood to play any video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasmin Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I cannot imagine "trolling being done in a healthy manner." Trolling is always trolling, no matter what. I like social gaming but if someone starts trolling, I just stop playing with him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniekwe Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 It's just like how football fans do with their rival clubs. There's a lot of trolling going on now with what's been going on in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfectly understandable, there was a phase of my gaming journey when I just prefer to sit in crib playing video games all alone. At some point I started meeting some really interesting individuals who were also interested in the kind of games I like and we all started hanging out and playing video games together. Right now I play videogames alone most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyjax Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It's always fun when I get to play with my friends. It's something that I can't say no whenever I have the opportunity of doing so because we don't always get the time and chance to play together.
