Why We Can't Stop Playing The Same 3 Games (Replayability)

[@CloudKashi]

As a person who went from playing countless story games as a kid to barely being able to finish a single story game per year as an adult this definitely helped me remind myself to go back to my roots.

[@Sweht]

I’m glad to hear man! I feel the exact same way. I use to love story games like Zelda and stuff, but as I got older they are harder to play. Definitely still worth devoting time to though! What were some of your favorites as a kid?

[@CloudKashi]

@@Sweht kingdom Hearts is a big one for me, but up until a few years ago I haven’t even played any of the Final Fantasy games aside from 7 so I’ve been going back and playing them.

[@goodtimesgivecancer1]

My problem with modern story games is that they feel more like movies with tiny gameplay segments rather than games with good stories. You spend most of the game walking from point A to point B, talk to am npc/watch a cutscene, then walk from point B to point C. The last actual game with a story that blew me away was War of the Lions and that was forever ago

[@shelltoe_soul]

@@goodtimesgivecancer1 There are a ton of exceptions to this rule though if you look at more than just AAA mainstream titles. Tons of games have excellent stories. Baldur's Gate 3 is the most recent example of this but I am blown away by game's stories all the time. You just gotta keep an open mind and play a lot of games while avoiding all the AAA shovelware that companies like Blizzard and Ubisoft release.

[@TheUltimateHacker007]

Barely (if any) modern game with a story that's captivating enough at an old age. They're all trying to be non controversial and soft around the edges and worst, as inclusive as possible

I keep buying new games but never playing them. I also keep switching between games, but never fully committing to one. It just feels overwhelming the amount of options there are. By committing to one game, it's hard to not feel like you're missing out on all those other games.

[@mr.s9783]

A lot of multiplayer games have consistent, endless gameplay loops with a progression system, making it easy to hop online and do the same thing over and over but have it still be satisfying. That’s very different from a narrative-driven single player experience.

[@Chuni_MD2]

I have been playing the same few games for my entire life, I would sometimes try a few new games, maybe even beating a few triple A games, but I will always end up playing Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Terraria and a few others again after a long break, maybe I was waiting for a new update, maybe I got bored or sick of playing that game, but those few games always bring me joy more than other

[@DracoBlack58]

Idk why but for me I don’t start new games often because knowing I have work the next day or after the weekend makes me feel like I don’t have enough time to sit and play something new. It’s like when you tell yourself you need to start going to the gym but it’s too deep into the week to go so you’re like “I’ll just start next week.” Because of that, I just go back to something I’ve already started or isn’t story focused.

[@Caramella_Meako]

On the topic of repayability one thing no one ever talks about is how different replayability is between MP and SP. Replayability in SP is often seen as a tangible aspect like new game plus or side quest and critics of SP will cite that as to SPs superiority but what a lot of people overlook, including pro MP people, is the human element of MP not found in SP. I remember having a conversation with someone on discord who hates MP because theres no replayability, its just the same experience over and over according to him where as with fallout 4(his prefered game) he said he could run so many different characters and playthroughs. I made the point that replayability is subjective much like how genre is subjective and that a big part of replayability for MP is experience. For example my prefered game is R6 Siege, and the whole reason i love playing it is because even after years of playing and being in the higher skill brackets i am STILL learning new things. New angles to watch something, New ways to approach a situation, new ways to outsmart peopl, and even new ways to counter these new idea im learning if when someone uses them against me. This constant unending potential for new knowledge is a form of replayability. Another somewhat related aspect is people dont keep playing the same way forever. At a certain point all the best players can play at a similar and eventually someone somewhere is going to get creative and find a new solution that eventually all the best players will copy and adapt to and it will eventually trickle down the skill ladder creating what we as gamers call "metas". This constant evolution drivin by competition leaves so much room for untapped potential and is a form of replayability.

[@Sweht]

Dude, you should make a video on replayability too! 😂

[@garreswe]

I'm not sure that single player games have higher requirements than multiplayer games. One reason that I don't want to play multiplayer games is that they require a huge amount of hours for you to to be competitive. It's not fun to always lose or be on the bottom of the score board so you need to play a lot to be successful. In single player games on the other hand you don't have to be bleeding edge to enjoy the story and the gameplay. You can even cheat or get help if you just want to progress the story.

[@Sweht]

That's very true. Online Multiplayer games require you to sweat. There's like no casual play any more lol

Great video! Hearing somebody else reaffirm my thoughts in a concise and clear way made me feel great about quitting League of Legends lmfao... in all seriousness, this is a great video, and I've started playing more indie games like Hollow Knight and Celeste. I still sometimes go back to league, but it's never really for more than a handful of games. I've started liking story games a lot more

[@Sweht]

😂😂 Dude same here. The more competitive games are still fun, especially when you have people to play with- but those more intimate single player games are definitely worth it if you give them time

[@Amaling]

No need for a video to make you feel great about quitting league. It's a way of spending time in a game, which can sometimes feel like work, and half the time is extremely tilting to the point of making the rest of your day actively worse, with a constant cycle of skins skins skins patches while the client continually and integrity/stability of the game rots away.

[@fitmotheyap]

I am still playing league, it can be fun even in ranked but the only way to enjoy ranked is to not worry as much about losing, which there is no reason to worry about it in the first place

[@Amin_2k]

Nice video, i agree with your points. I find it harder and harder to find the energy or time to complete single player games as i get older

[@itsdotkatt]

From the title I thought you were going to list three popular title the gaming community can't stop playing, in a general sense. This was more personal than I realized and truly made me think. A friend recently started a single player game and was telling me all the amazing things. It's been years honestly since i've sat down and devoted time and effort into a single player game. You explained it all so well but at the end you challenged us to try the other side of things. I love me a multiplayer game all day.. but maybe I should look into a story game.. even if it's a short one like you mentioned. So thanks for making this video and making me want to step out of my comfort zone.

[@Sweht]

Thank you so much man. You’ll have to tell me what game you play and if you enjoyed it (if you remember to lol). Glad to hear it, really, thank you!

[@landoolakess]

I feel like my love for competitive multiplayer shooters comes from that instant gratification of knowing that I'm improving, instead of the slower nature of single player games when you don't really feel like your improving at anything due to how linear most single player story games are (with the exception of games like breath of the wild or GTA). Great video, really helped me understand why when my friends recommend me single player games and I hate them so I just go back to grinding cs

[@Sweht]

😂 thanks man! I feel the exact same way dude

[@rogoznicafc9672]

where exactly are you "improving" in gta? you get more money to buy more stuff if that's what you mean but that's not improving as almost in all games you get some form of currency, experience, or whatever to unlock or buy better gear, equipment, items and so on

I was a hardcore online MP gamer back when I was a teen in the 360/PS3 era, the golden age of online gaming imo. I played nothing but Gears of War, Halo, and CoD, 24/7. Only occasionally played SP games but now as an adult I've done a complete switch, I mostly play SP games. I'll occasionally play online MP but not for too long. To me, SP games just give me a better gaming experience, online can be fun if you're a competitive person or have people to play with but nothing beats a captivating story and exciting gameplay of a SP game.

I played tons of platformer and story based games like RPGs. Then I discovered competitive fighting games and it was a new gaming experience for me. Discovering how far you can push the game against other live players at an arcade. I devoted 10 years to Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and ignored every new game I bought because I kept discovering new strategies. In the fighting game scene, I discovered players who specialize in one game. There are those who only play Street Fighter 2 Turbo to this day in 2023. Having too many games to play is a good problem from the gamers side. I remember back in the NES days, I rented Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers from Blockbuster and beat it in 30 minutes. Then replay it because it was simply enjoyable to play. Like rewatching a good movie.

[@LowIQsocietymember]

[@Sweht]

That’s fair, but I still try all kinds to truly branch out!

[@korsoupp6450]

for my experience when you get older it just comes down to time to play and commitment. I have so many single player backlog games I need to beat and I'm sure I would love to play them all. It's just for me when I'm older I just don't have the mega free time to play them. Especially with working full time. It's just nice to get home and hop on a few games of some multiplayer games with my friends and go to sleep and repeat my days. usually on my days off I really want to play a good story game, but I always end up getting distracted or end up just thinking about things I should be doing. Basically, it's just down to growing older, not having a lot of time. As well there are sooooo many new games coming out so it's easy to get distracted by another new shiny game and the pile just adds on. I miss the old days where there was just a small variety of good games. Now it feels like a gamble if a game is going to be good and then you just end up going back to the comfortable games you always want to play. That's what I have come to realize. I just wish I had more time.

[@xeyvan]

Great vid man, I also like how at the end you asked both sides to go try and do the opposite as opposed to just one. I’d have to agree with a lot of points that you hit throughout this video, I had this realization sometime either last year or two years ago when I picked up smash bros and started (still have yet to finish LOL) the story mode on hard. It was through that I remembered the calming and “true” peace of video games and not the mindless fun time highs I was spending back to back with friends ): I definitely think it’s possible to enjoy both, but it’s just about moderation. As for me, I’ve chosen to jus keep multiplayer games as my “social night” with friends who are too far to connect in person and not something to grind on (I never really was a type to solo multiplayer rank type games). Mario bros wonder i think is out now, and I’ve been wanting to pick up Kirby’a forgotten land for a while now, hopefully sometime soon I’ll be able to experience and enjoy games like “the good old days” :) thanks again for making this video! Def something the world needed

[@tomaslozada9397]

it's curious, I have the opposite happen to me, my comfort games tend to be single-player because I get stressed when dealing with people multi-player, plus a massive skill issue on my part ngl

There is a ton of comfort at just enjoying a game at your own pace. It’s hard when you feel like you have to be at a crazy skill level to maybe enjoy a competitive game. Hopefully you could maybe find one you can enjoy at some point!

I've been through this years ago, decided I had broke far too many controllers now I have 1000 hours in minecraft and couldn't be happier for it. It's really hard to break from the cycle of misery that is modern shooters like fortnite, cod and apex but it is SO worth it you just have to find something you're really passionate about (for me it was God Of War 2018) to outweigh the addiction of "well I've got nothing else to do". You do have other things that you can do you've just gotta find them If you push past the addiction, and yes it is an addiction for many people, it's worth it and you will never want to look back. I'm very lucky to have been able to push out of the endless cycle of yearly cod releases so young, with help from people around me I got out at around 14. Good luck with what you decide to do with your life :)

[@anndrxxw]

[@Amaling]

Ok but there's also games in the middle. There are plenty of titles, primarily or exclusively in single-player, which do not ask much of you in the beginning and are not some huge emotional investment major plotline to follow etc, while having tons of replayability and rewarding time spent from the player. Think of Tetris, Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Slay the Spire, Candy Crush, Stardew Valley, you get the idea. Some of these titles are absolutely massive in terms of popularity, and can get pretty notorious for having some of the playerbase clocking in insane hours spent similar to online multiplayer titles like League and CSGO. I don't even wanna imagine what those soccer moms who only play candy crush got for their hours played Putting life/time concerns aside, I think having one of such titles in your repretoire makes for a much healthier/well-rounded game rotation

[@Sweht]

This is so real, I have like 37 games in my backlog and even with all the games ive completed ive put 2.5x more of the time in singleplayer games combined into multiplayer 😭😭

[@Sweht]

Dude same 😂 the steam library keeps getting bigger lol

[@takemeseriouslyplx2124]

I started playing ratchet and clank on pc a few weeks back and it really took me back to being a kid and playing on my ps2! I recommend trying it out if you haven't!

[@Sweht]

That’s good to know!! I’ll look into it man, thanks!

[@xvouu]

With emulation now being so good, its very nice to go and check out some games you played before u ever touched those easily replayable games. but now im just stuck playing modnation racers and skate 3...

[@Sweht]

😂 dude, skate 3 was a vibe. Used to love that game

[@Downsquad]

Fallout: New Vegas is my all time favourite game, I think you should give it a try if you like RPGs where your choices really matter

[@Sweht]

Dude, my brother recommends that game all the time. It’s probably time I give it a shot!

[@Downsquad]

@@Sweht Your brother has good taste

The only game in a while that has broken my cycle of switching to and from RL and Apex is No Man’s Sky. The story is pretty great, and the idea that you can constantly upgrade, build bigger bases using the thousands of different materials and technologies at hand, make your squadron larger, etc. really helps to bring back that constant sense of progression that you would get in the type of multiplayer games mentioned. I feel bad for the ppl who stopped playing after the release flop because now it is a really solid game.

[@Sweht]

Yeah I’ve heard it’s gotten a ton better as of late. I should check it out more

[@inconsideratebox3000]

It's gotten easier to be content in sticking to a single FPS game considering the state of the FPS market.

[@NotLachside]

Bro who is this guy, and why have I never heard of him before. Everything in this video is amazing especially the editing

[@Sweht]

Thank you man!!! Really appreciate it! I’ll be working more!

[@LARSTAKA-666]

Listening to this while having my 7th character in BL3

[@Sweht]

Sheesh man 😂 I bet you know that game inside and out at this point. Glad you’re able to enjoy replaying it!

[@sumbinge]

This is so true. Personally, 2019 COD: MW is one of my all-time favorites and yet it pretty much burnt me out on shooters for what feels like the rest of my life. I think some of the most fun I ever had while playing a game was in gunfight with one of my best friends, and I'm glad my time taking PVP seriously was able to end on a good note. I've since switched to primarily playing singleplayer with the occasional coop with friends and I could not be happier in that regard.

[@Sweht]

Dude I feel that. Mw 2019 was a blast. It helped the covid times feel not so bad.

[@AMPStorm]

CoD MW 2019 is a horrible game. It can be fun but there are vastly superior FPS games out there.

[@mrFR-18]

Good job man. I hope u grow more

[@Sweht]

Thank you man!

[@WillyMacShow]

ive been playing aoe2 for 6 years and will continue to play that game.

[@Sweht]

Dang son, never stop the grind 😤

[@novelgiani]

I think the biggest reason why I can't play most single player games anymore is that thanks to KZbin and Let's Plays, I don't need to play a game to experience its story, and once I know its story, I don't feel like playing it for myself because I already experienced the story. That's why I'm staying blind on Baldur's Gate 3 until it releases on Xbox, because that's my only console as of right now.

[@Sweht]

That’s pretty wise not to spoil it for yourself. I’ve done that too for Zelda TOTK. It’s more rewarding to do it yourself, but once you already know how to beat the game and all the story points, there’s no reason to play

[@novelgiani]

@@Sweht Yeah, I'm also replaying Gears 1, but on Insane difficulty since I heat Gears 1 like 5 times throughout my childhood.

[@drsoldier5043]

Love the video, thank god Ive found you

[@Sweht]

God bless. I’ll be putting out more soon!

[@CreemSmile]

This explains what I've been feeling for a while, very well written. It seems we're at a point in gaming where people are tired of this theme as a whole and hopefully these developers can see it as well.

[@Sweht]

I agree! I think the community is kind of waiting for the next huge thing, but nobody’s seen it yet lol

[@g1sunstreaker584]

For me, Monster Hunter fills the perfect niche for this. It's absolutely endless replayability, because you're always challenging yourself to find new ways to beat the monster, to beat it faster, exploring new play styles, trying new builds, and there's so many endless combinations of skills and playstyles that it's pretty much infinite. Not to mention the combat itself is absolutely exhilarating. But it's also multiplayer, so you can go burn time goofing off with people and the level of challenge varies greatly due to all the different types of monsters in the game. Truly my favorite franchise of all time.

[@Sweht]

That’s cool! I have a couple friends who love monster as well! I need to play it already lol

[@g1sunstreaker584]

@@Sweht Now is a great time to try out Monster Hunter: World in particular! With the announcement of Wilds, Capcom has been pushing World quite hard, and the player numbers have skyrocketed back into the six digits. I highly highly recommend it. You might take a little time to really sink your teeth into it and get into a good groove, but once you do, you can hardly put it down.

[@Sweht]

😂 sounds good man! Maybe there will be a steam sale soon! I’ll keep my eyes peeled and put it on my wishlist! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@icicle4829]

This year I took a break from fps games and played a lot of other games I know I would also have fun in but never finished cause I wanted to spend my time getting better at fps games. Now my aim is a lot worse but I’m having a lot more fun so I definitely feel it was worth it

[@Sweht]

That’s good dude! You basically took a sabbatical from tactical shooters lol

[@deadweight4887]

I wish more game developers would implement the kind of NG+ Devil May Cry has in their games, it's pretty much the only kind of NG+ that matters. What's the point of carrying over all your gear to the next playthrough if nothing can challenge you? Up the difficulty, change every encounter, and make the stronger enemies appear early, maybe even introduce a new mechanic in the hardest difficulty too (devil trigger for enemies in DMC's case).

[@IshkaGaming]

Damn, this is some good stuff man. Keep it up, this topic hits home hard as I boot up destiny 2 after 2000+ hours. Sub number 160 right here!

[@Sweht]

Thank you! Glad you’re here man! Thanks so much! That might be a long grind, but as long as you enjoy the journey keep going!

[@weirdguymusic]

IM UPSET IM LATE FOR THIS LOVE THE VID❤

[@Sweht]

Nah, just on time. Thanks!

[@JaCKal_0000]

short answer to me is "Same Games, Different outcomes" games i play almost everyday is War thunder, CSGO, and L4D2 and you are right about 3 game

[@nareshangelia-sookrajjr.1365]

For me it was because I grew up playing Modern Warfare 2 2009 on my PS3. So I’m used to it. And anytime I played any other game it was usually online or at my cousins house via split screen. Now that split screen is practically dead and we both have different responsibilities now. I just went back to what I enjoyed, what I know how to do well and what I did solo. Which is COD Multiplayer.

[@Sweht]

I feel that man. I used to do Halo split screen with my cousin and that’s how I joined the fps genre. Have super good memories there and it’s been fun to occasionally go back and try those games too

[@thelenin202]

I just started my 5th run in Fallout 4… EXCITING!

[@Sweht]

That’s a good game to replay!

[@Tragil]

Outer Wilds is a singleplayer game everyone should play. Its a unique experience and for the love of god, dont look up any guides or anything that could contain spoilers.

[@Sweht]

You’re not the only one to say this. I’m gonna play it now
