VGU Reader Discussion: How Essential Is Multiplayer To You?

Does the inclusion of multiplayer in normally single-player games help or hinder the experience?

NYC_Gamer4612d ago

I don't like when publishers force developers to add online features to known single player only titles

Nitrowolf24612d ago (Edited 4612d ago )

Either do I, but in some cases it works. I am glad Naughty Dog experimented with it this gen or else we wouldn't have gotten The Last of Us Multiplayer, which I have to say is one of the best this year has to offer.

zeal0us4612d ago (Edited 4612d ago )

Same here. We live in a era where publishers see games like CoD selling millions and they get the idea their games can meet the same success if they add MP. Multiplayer isn't need or necessary for most single player games.

I'm all for MP if its done right and actually adds to the overall game. However if you're passing on creating dlc for the SP to focus on the MP(looking at you Crystal Dynamic), the MP mode better be worth it.

It's not vital. But if you decide to add online to a game. You better make sure it's good. Way too many shitty online games.

I've been playing video games since the NES days, so I could care less about online multiplayer. It's not very essential to my gaming needs. I actually think getting smacked in golden eye, street fighter, mk and other games by the person sitting right next to you was more fun but online brought more competitiveness. Online doesn't really matter to me cause IMO hooking up a second controller is just as fun. Multiplayer could go away tomorrow and I would still enjoy gaming.

I couldn't agree with you more

DimensionalSound4612d ago

Multiplayer does often feel forced and seems like it will at times detract from the production of the single player--which is especially problematic if single player is the focus of the title (Like Mass Effect 3, one could argue).

I think having a separate studio produce the multiplayer could produce some better results.

Ghostdogg4612d ago

I think the fact that multiplayer was even considered was a waste of time. Batman was doing just fine without it.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21470d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime469d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils469d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast533d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine533d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast533d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman533d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast533d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman532d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
