>When I step into a multiplayer game whether with friends or with random people, I feel like each interaction and event is totally new and unique and special. In single player games it all just feels so scripted.

I don't know, someone calling me a cunt and ragequitting a Rocket League match loses its fresh, unique and special feeling after a while. And I can't really tell apart any 12-year-old French boy screaming into a $2 microphone from the next one.

I'd rather play a really scripted game than roll the dice to see what kind of a shitstorm I land into.

I think you're just not finding the right games? I can't remember the last time someone rage quit in their mic in a game I've played.
