I don't need to argue over what are basic definitions.

[โ€“] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Me either. Multiplayer games have multiple players playing. Wether the thinking is done digitally or organically makes no difference. It is possible to play a multiplayer game alone, that does not make it a single player game

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Multi player are multiple humans. You're very wrong about this.

I'll be sure to pass that along to our AI overlords after the apocalypse

Hold on. You really think that when you play against a CPU you're playing multiplayer?

Wow

[โ€“] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You think when you play a multiplayer modes game alone your suddenly playing a game designed as single player? Just because you can play a multiplayer mode alone doesn't make it a single player game.

A player is a person.
Nobody plays multiplayer Civ except for a small niche group of people.

You're simply wrong, that's all. You can learn you're incorrect and accept that knowledge. Or you can continue to reply with wrong statements.

Either way, have a good one.

Well I hope you continue to enjoy playing a multiplayer game alone with the computer

I wish you luck on your continued journey to understand English. I understand how it can be confusing. I think you'll get it though, you show promise.

Yeah, multiplayer. Multiple players. Not multiple humans. Sorry you have such a hard time understanding this. But you are playing a multiplayer game wether youre playing with bots or humans.

[โ€“] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Multiple players means human players you moron lmao.

I hate to resort to name calling like that, but holy mother of Mary you're dense. It's way too funny. I feel like I'm talking to my five year old. Except he understands logic.

You keep being you, Klieg. You beautifully helpless mess. Kisses!

Multiple players means multiple players in the game you moron. I can't believe you're so dense as you can't imagine a non human player in a game, especially in a computer game! Most five year olds are able to recognize when they're playing against an opponent. Human or CPU, it's a player that you are competing against. Nowhere in any definition except the constraints of your limited mind does it specify that the other players in a multiplayer game have to be human controlled. The fact that you legitimately are getting triggered by this would be hilarious if it didn't indicate a large problem with your cognitive reasoning.

Think outside the box. You've been playing a multiplayer game this whole time.
