This is kinda why Bloodborn is the best game I’ve played since NES times
Gen X and I like real opponents to shoot virtually so I don't have to do it IRL. The first real multi-player FPS I played was the original Doom circa 1993. Those are some of my fondest gaming memories.
You do you though. Don't cave to peer pressure. If you don't want to play multi-player, don't. I understand- the toxicity can be excessive. People who don't sound like they're having fun. Weird to me.

I'm gen z but I honestly suck at most online competitive games so I can really relate
I like to play online to Get Good™, but I highly prefer playing with my friends. Each of my friends is good enough at a different game to be ranked regionally or globally.

Older millennial, I was a teenager when Xbox live started and I spent thousands of hours in various multiplayer lobbies. I don't play online really anymore because of I'm burnt out on either supremely toxic mother fuckers or just try hards that only want to win and not enjoy the challenge and competition of a good match. So I'll just go where I can have fun my way, which happens to be alone, or being yelled at by best friend as he runs from a monster either one.
