| BasilZero said: Games used to be stressful for me in the past because I was into MMO and MP games a decade or so ago. Waiting on people, being held back by people, or hindered by people left a sour taste after playing sessions. Thankfully I quit MMO/MP games 10 years ago and only play SP/non-online games. After daily grinding from life, playing a game, even for an hour a day is soothing to the soul and mind. Edit: My most recent MP play session was with some guys at work last year - invited me to play The Forest (where we wasted so much time getting lost, idling figuring out what to do as a group) - reminded me why I quit playing MP - ever since I havent played with them lol. I felt like I was held back and it felt like a waste of a perfectly good weekend I could used for something productive or actually progress with some of my other SP games. |
Yep. MMO's suck. As someone with 2,500 hours in FF14 and actually glad that games expansions came out poorly I can say they are not only like a narcotic drug but can do as much damage, perhaps not physically but definetly mentally and to a person's life. This is one genre I can say that is most certainly a hit to most people's mental health... although, some people tend to be able to handle them and just get on the evening for an hour with no problems.
