Multi-Player vs. Single-Player

What was once just a highly-craved, welcomed add-on tacked on to a game designed to be played by an individual at a time, has now manifested into a popular, ever-expanding feature practically deemed necessary by gamers and some developers for a game to be considered adequate.

i wish single player was the main focus of developers which apparently isn't the case these days(most of the times)

sikker445525d ago (Edited 5525d ago )

i have to give it to single player. its an incredible gaming feature thats always been there
BUT multiplayer is a good thing as well, hence killzone 3, bf3

Paladz5525d ago

This seems odd to me Nawabi. Why would you put more focus to a component of a game that is only meant for one player. You have no one to share this with.

I agree that Single Player should have a certain focus so that you learn the story of the game, get to the plot and complete whatever missions/quests you are told to do, but the replay value isn't in single-player, it's in multi-player.

The majority of people who purchase games today are playing the multiplayer part, not because the single-player got worse, in my opinion they actually became alot better - but because single-player is over in a few hours and there is no single reason to ever play it again, there never has been in single-player.

co-op games are kinda cool but i m bored of competitive multiplayer now, so yeah single-player for me :)

UnSelf5525d ago

i think some devs undermine the importance of the gamer eventhough that should be their main focus

Titanz5525d ago

Why do you believe it was last place?

WhiteNoise5525d ago

S.P

You got some narrative in my FPS so I can T.H.I.N.K while I philosophical with mt A.K.4.7.

But seriously.

Good, original, lengthy truly replayable MP games are few and far between

Quake 3-Unreal Tournament 3-BF3/Brink, then it will be another 5 years before anything noteworthy rears it's head.

But we have had quite a few great new I.P's single player wise.

Sadly with online passes and 12 month rushed game development time ( why do bug testing when you can patch post release? ) there won't be many MP games get off the ground.

I'll take my Bioshock Infinite with a side of 20hrs gameplay minimum please...what's that you say, 20hrs gameplay comes with the burger automatically? no extra cost? sold!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 22h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 22h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
