Maybe Games Do Need Multiplayer?

"It’s the same thing every time a game is announced to have multiplayer which previously didn’t; to be frank, it’s getting a bit tedious, and a bit boring. My first problem with this whole “it doesn’t need multiplayer” is the word “need”; saying video games doesn’t “need” something cannot further from the truth. Please, think for a second, what does a video game actually “need”? Well, go on, think about it: does it need multiplayer? No. Does it need singleplayer? No. Does it “need” some sort of Heads Up Display? Not at all. What about something which you can see on the screen? Well, no, it doesn’t. There is only one thing that a video game needs to be a video game and not a film or a picture or music: a way to interact with it. The point I’m making is that by saying a video games doesn’t “need” something you prove nothing as, in fact, a video game on requires user interaction."- The Stoned Sheep

I get what they're saying, but it's getting annoying to hear that Mass Effect 3 will be getting multiplayer...

TheStonedSheep5488d ago

Well that's a point I made; putting multiplayer in a game like ME3 is pointless because it has such a strong singleplayer.

rabidpancakeburglar5488d ago

Games don't need multiplayer but it's always a good extra unless it lessens the quality of the single player

TheStonedSheep5488d ago

Ahhh! It the word "need" it burns!

My main point was that adding in multiplayer would take away from SP, but the extra hours of play time created would be far greater than if those resources were spent on SP.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

A Day After Launch, Battlefield 6 Beta Already Has Cheaters, but DICE Quickly Cracks Down With a Ban

DICE is quickly banning cheaters in the Battlefield 6 beta, with a developer confirming that they are aware of the hacks.

raWfodog258d ago

They need to add an option for crossplay with other console players only. Otherwise I’ll definitely deactivating crossplay altogether. These cheaters on PC are already ruining this game and it’s still a few months from general release.

What’s the appeal in cheating @ multiplayer? Deep down, you must know you suck lol. Yay?

jjb1981258d ago

I never understood that. I remember a guy that commented on a YT video I saw had said that he uses Cronus because he works a lot and doesn't have time to sweat. Lol, I was like "wtf?".

PRIMORDUS253d ago

Developers should find a way that if they detect your cheating in a game, have it so none of your shots register against other players, you can't kill anyone. Bascially, you would be useless in that game LOL.

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.

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

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

YourMommySpoils437d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg438d ago (Edited 438d 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

jznrpg438d ago (Edited 438d ago )

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