@Inflicted Your right that multiplayer is becoming far more popular. Though I don't think you can accurately predict those who still play singleplayer (along with multiplayer or just single) unless you ask each gamer if they play any single player.

I'd love to know where you found out that. Don't guess please.

It wasn't a guess, but it also has no source. This is all in my personal experience. All of my friends are gamers, and each play to different extents. When we talk about gaming I have noticed that a few don't play multiplayer at all because they "prefer RPG's, and most good ones don't have online" (quoting one of my friends). Others only play multiplayer because all they really want is the enjoyment of beating other people. The rest say they enjoy both. So when I made the statement I did about people who limit themselves to only multiplayer is below 50%, it was all in personal experience. If you asked everybody playing a game in multiplayer they wont all say they only play multiplayer. So when you add together the people who play both and the people who only play singleplayer they will add up to a higher number then multiplayer only players. Basically when each is counted alone, most play only multiplayer (they may play a small amount of single but not enough to count) making them the highest number, that doesnt make them above 50%. To give a random percent to show what I mean, Multiplayer - 40%, Singleplayer - 25%, Both - 35%. I'm going to stop there for now so I don't ramble on, when I do I tend to stop making any sense (hopefully that didn't already happen).

No, it's not. I would have enjoyed the story if it weren't for the shitty turn-based battle system.

You can argue that Pokemon is the same way, but Pokemon was more awesome.

I just hated FF's battle system.

Well the battle system itself really wasnt something special, but at least final fantasy 7 and 8 had a pretty good system for leveling and equipment. The materia system combined with the equipment slots and the possible materia combinations had alot of potential, the guardian force system of ff8 was even more complex and interesting to me.

I like that system. It's not that part I don't like. I hated the actual fighting system.

I don't like the new ones, I loved them on the Nintendo and Playstation though.

I don't see myself ever finishing a game like pokemon or something that requires you to collect/get everything (achievements, etc.) - I usually finish the "story mode", but after that I don't do much (takes too long)

I second that.
I complete the storylines for the adventure games and RPGs I play but hardly try and get a 100% completion.
There was this gem for the DS, The World Ends With You, I played it over from a new game about three times but never got a 100% completion.
Then there was FF7 and FF8.. And Pokemon (lol, I played the blue and yellow versions) and other shit.

Now would be a good time to reward a Completist player some real virtual money, and that's a good incentive.

actually, to add to the list - sometimes the multiplayer is better then the story, and that never ends

games that I finished:

KOTR
all sorts of pokemon games past the elite four
Jade empire (but once you win you re-play it in expert mode, didn't finish in expert mode)
halo series
a few different mario kart games
castlevania
Jump super/ultimate stars
one of the call of duty games, 3 I think
two worlds (well the main quest)
fire emblem (old game)
wc3/sc2 - campaign (with all the sc2 campaign
some dbz games (fighting)
Age of empires 1 and 2
lego star wars (not actually collecting all the bricks/etc. - game gets boring once you are invincible)

games I didn't finish:
Pokemon dungeon or something - wasn't as good as the regular Pokemon games
most racing games (I am not very good at them)
sport games (I don't like them too much)
age of empires 3/mythology - I didn't like them as much as sc2/wc3

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
