Any recommendations /v/? It doesn't have to be a shooter, I like games like pic rel, fun braindead multiplayer games you can play with randoms that have a fun gameplay loop.

try valheim. it's fun.

>>713802194 (OP)
anyone who uses the term gameplay loop needs to kill themself

>>713802401
then give me a better term for explaining "playing the game for a round/until the game is finished and then hopping back in again to repeat the same thing" in under 5 words.

>>713802194 (OP)
Multiplayer games aren't made to be played with randoms anymore. Hope you have friends.

>>713802194 (OP)
unironically all you need
if you like fps shit then maybe bf5?? idk i mostly play singleplayer games nowadays

>>713802194 (OP)
DRG if you want good randoms to play with, that said avoid lobbies that have "LvXX or kick" or gear restrictions, they're almost always run by shitters on a power trip

thousands of games published every year and not a single one that allows random fun with randoms. people say AAA gaming sucks but the multiplayer genre is more fucked than it ever has been before. i miss titanfall 2

Dwarf Fortress has a very satisfying gameplay loop, and Subnautica does too.

Fuck your team cohesion and objectives. I bayonet charge at every possible opportunity.

PEAK is actually proving to be pretty fun for what it is, for $7 you're able to squeeze some fun out of it with your friend group(s) thanks to the challenge and replayability. Not having the island be randomized per-run means you can run it back if you lose, or just wait a day, take a break to try a different one.
Killing Floor 1 is still a great game as well
Surprisingly ARMA Reforger is also really good, it's a little competitive but being a bit invested into the war of the server you're playing on and being able to connect at various times of the day to play it can be kino. I'd also recommend DayZ if you just want a cozy game to get lost in.

>DRG

>>713802773
>fortnite
it sucks. i hate battle royale.
>>713802834
>the finals
i played it and got swarmed by chinese hackers.. not fun
>>713803161
>dwarf fortress
>subnautica
played them already but i wouldn't classify them as multiplayer games, i'm talking about something with dedicated servers and dozens of people in each server at least
>>713803161
based. i used to bayonet spam as assault all the time

Gameplay

I don’t want to sound mean, but I think you’ve tapped every worthwhile game, then. There’s a ton of games if you’ve got established groups (like Among Us) but the style of game you’re looking for is really only Minecraft, Helldivers 2 and DRG.

>why does film analysis exist? you're just watching a movie dood

>>713803550
darn.. I was really craving some multiplayer slop about now too...

thanks for the recommendations anyways anons :)

The word is literally just "gameplay".

>>713806427
>bro why do you keep saying chapters, arcs, character development? There's already a word for that called "story"
