Although even in single player, what's the point of gaming, if you don't get to discuss it with most of your friends

... The point is to... play... the game? I have exactly two current games that I play or talk about with friends. The others are all single player games that I play solely for the enjoyment of playing the damn game. Like, what do you mean, what's the point? This view is utterly baffling, just play it?

Same here. I've got a handful of friends that only want to talk about the latest call of duty or rainbow six, but I'm just not into the competitive gameplay. I just want to play the game. Single player is the way I go and I play it because it's like an immersive movie. I get to control the character and see the story unfold, it's like magic. Every now and then I get to talk about how amazing the story in that one game was, and it's just like talking about a movie, but I don't play the single player games solely for the purpose of being able to talk about it. I got to experience it, and play it the way I wanted.
