    Multiplayer is antithetical to immersion for me. Im not an RP guy and some wacko yelling slurs over the mic isnt going to help me forget im playing a video game

      Not all multiplayer is match made or even public. Lots of games can benefit from 1 or 2 good friends to play with.

        Sure but my buddy cracking jokes about work is just as immersion-breaking. Multiplayer is fun, but thats not the point i was making.

        Immersive Sims are games that reward taking your time and meticulosity scouting and planning ahead. Multiplayer would be miserable if even one person is the type to get bored or rush ahead, or if someone picked a stealth/hacking build and another heavy combat.
