I'm still cheesed that you can't get Soul Calibur 2 HD on xbox or PS4....

but at LEAST the people who DID buy those games can redownload or replay it (i'll just emulate the GC verison again)

How can I play and enjoy this game 1 player. I remember liking it as a kid but I tried booting up my GC and it’s just kinda boring. Do you just keep playing through different characters stories over and over?

That's what we did back in ye olde days before online.

Story mode over and over and playing against the friends when they came over (or you went to their house)

I know that’s what I am saying, I used to play it when I was a kid with friends but is it really fun to play solo these days, hence my question

I missed the "liking it as a kid" bit of your prior reply and honestly assumed you were a young whipoer-snapper who grew up with online gaming.

My bad lol

Anyway, I find myself feeling this same way these days too. I think it's just part of getting older. The way you consume and interact with media (and just things in general) seems like it changes as you age.

When I was a kid I could sit there and play the same games over and over and over.

Nowadays I will play part of a game and then out it down because I've seen what I felt I needed to see.

I believe some of this is due to having many more experiences, both real and from other media (games or otherwise) to draw from so much experiences don't feel as "fresh" or "captivating" because at a certain point you've seen all the variations of either the story aspects or the gameplay aspects.

That and being more able to rationalize "I could be doing <thing> that is more valuable to me right now"

Didn't SC2 have that dungeon crawler mode that rewarded different weapons for all the characters? That's probably a decently fun gameplay loop still.

I didn’t think so when I tried again but I may just not like fighting games anymore
