Why Multiplayer Doesn't Work For All Games

Gamasutra: "I think most of us have had fun playing a game online with others recently. Multiplayer is something that's become pretty mainstream since the early to mid-2000s with things like XBox Live, Battle.net, Steam, etc. Some games are now entirely multiplayer-based, and many prominent games, in addition to their single player campaigns, provide great multiplayer experiences."

Doesn't work for Uncharted 4

some gameplay styles just lend themselves well to a solitary experience

(comp)multiplayer is FORCED into nearly every game nowadays, just so devs.can generate extra income over "dlc".
Uncharted and The last of us are key examples of franchises that could have done without MP.

Explain why multi-player doesn't work for these games. Having an excellent campaign doesn't mean multi-player is tacked on. Does games have to have non existent afterthought campaigns like Call of Duty for the multi-player to be considered good? Uncharted multi-player is as good as Gears of War multi-player.

Uncharted multiplayer is no where near touching Gears. That's hilarious. People will be playing Gears of War Wars 4 multiplayer for years. The lobbies will still stay full. Not so for Uncharted 4.

if i had to choose between Last ofUs MP or Uncharted, ill take Last of Us.

On that note, i am happy that all the weapons in UC4 are all unlockable unlike Last ofUs

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil378d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.

It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.

Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
