Over the years, I’ve tended to drift away from multiplayer gaming. My fingers aren’t fast enough to keep up with the recent Call of Duty releases, and my trash-talk game isn’t anywhere close to what it once was. In my old age (I’m 31, by the way), I’ve found it increasingly difficult to get involved in the world of competitive multiplayer. Sure, I may have been a spitfire back in the day when I was playing Street Fighter 2 at a local arcade before they went the way of the dodo, but I sure as heck can’t find the time to get into the competitive spirit for Street Fighter 6.
Sure, there are still some games that I love jumping back into, like Halo 3 on the Master Chief Collection, but I find myself less and less interested in these types of games. I noticed recently, however, that a friend of mine was spending a lot of time in the world of Dead By Daylight, and after hearing his initial thoughts, I figured I should give it a try. And now, I can’t pry myself away from the screen.
Send In The Clowns
I spent some time watching people play Dead by Daylight a while back, and I thought it looked… beyond boring. What was the fun of running back and forth between a generator while getting hunted down by a Dollar General version of Jason Vorhees from Friday The 13th? And having to play with other players? No, thank you, not for me. Or, so I thought.
