Why do fewer and fewer people play small stand-alone games? Many friends are troubled by this problem. Therefore, the editor summarized a few points, hoping to solve the problem of why fewer and fewer people play small stand-alone games.
1. The game screen is not sophisticated enough:
can be summarized as the following points:
2. The game mechanism is repetitive and boring
3. The plot is simple, monotonous and boring
4. The game operation is difficult, easy to get started and difficult to master.
5. Players tend to get bored easily.
6. It’s easy for newbies to quit, but it’s hard for new players to get started!
7. The game graphics are poor and the visual experience is extremely poor.
8. There is no sense of immersion in the plot, only a sense of "liveliness"!
9. Unable to integrate into the life circles of different players and unable to find their own sense of belonging!
10. Stand-alone games rarely have scenes and content for online communication and interaction. "Playing games makes you stupid" is true! Nowadays, most single-player games are mostly played by one person. If you don’t have friends to play with, you will feel like you are alone at home playing! And because there are no friends to communicate with and interact with, the fun gradually loses.
The summary is: 1⃣️Single-player has no way to integrate into the circle, and it is difficult to find where you belong; 2⃣️The game graphics are not sophisticated enough (after all, there are many 3A masterpieces now) and it is easy to get bored; 3⃣️The gameplay is simple and boring (this is different from stand-alone masterpieces), and it is difficult for novices to get started; 4⃣️The game mechanics are repetitive (because many levels are the same) Boss battle) has no way to integrate into the circle; 5⃣️It is difficult for newbies to find their own sense of belonging.
2. The gameplay is single and boring.
The gameplay of the stand-alone game is basically "kill monsters and upgrade", and then defeat the monsters. But now the single-player games are very exquisite. You watch the characters appearing on the screen constantly changing, instead of just relying on upgrading and killing monsters to increase the character level like an RPG game.
I have seen a stand-alone game where a person is playing the "Dragon Nest" series. This game seems to have nothing to do with the "Dragon Nest" series, but in fact it is just an upgrade to fight monsters, just in a different form.
I have also seen a 2D horizontal version of the action game "Fate/Grand Order". This is a horizontal version of the action game with beautiful graphics and simple operation. However, the gameplay is relatively simple, requiring players to use different weapons to attack enemies in different levels.
It is difficult for novices to get started:
There are many stand-alone masterpieces whose clearance process is similar: first you have to pass several levels, and finally you get generous rewards for passing the level;
but there is no way for novices to get started with this game. Because novices don't know which character should use weapons to attack...
So we often see a single-player game with hundreds of mission points and don't know how to start, so they can only go around in circles.
has little online interaction and communication:
's stand-alone mode rarely has online gameplay content and communication and interaction scenes, because in reality it is difficult for us to have so much free time to play stand-alone games with friends; and if only one person plays, you will easily become bored.
3. The content is repetitive and boring
You can find that many stand-alone games rely on "repetition" to attract players, such as the "Resident Evil" series, "Devil May Cry", " The Elder Scrolls " and so on. But some stand-alone games are not so boring, they just change the format, and they are free, so you will find that you still don’t get bored after playing them for many years.
There are many stand-alone games that have been developed like this for several months, such as "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim", "Devil May Cry 5: Return", " Dead Cells " and so on.
4. The particularity of the stand-alone game is destined to not be liked by so many people.
For many people, stand-alone games have their own unique charm.
Because it allows us to better experience the differences in the world, the game atmosphere of the times, our growth experiences, etc.
And this unique charm is what we like and rely on!
However, for a stand-alone game, it is not actually a perfect game. Although
has many advantages, it also has some fatal shortcomings.
For example, the most important thing is
. If you want to experience the full charm of stand-alone games, you need a computer space that is large enough and perfect.
Moreover, unlike mobile games or online games, stand-alone games can be played online with multiple people, so the stand-alone mode is not suitable for multi-player play!
is actually too troublesome in the final analysis.
In reality, we may not be able to go out for a long time or play with friends due to various reasons; if you have a computer at this time, then you can experience different gameplays.
But this is also a matter of everyone’s own choice!
And with the development of the Internet information age, any game you want to play can now be operated on your mobile phone, so you can use a small program on your mobile phone to play various stand-alone games.
