Multiplayer in JC2 would fit perfectly imo.

For LA Noire it would extend the replayability, but it just wouldn't fit in. It would just be shooting, which is not what the game is about.

here we go...LA Noire...really...ugh

I tend to think just about every game would be better with Co Op I love playing games with friends in the same room. It seems any developer could use creative ways to incorporate a second player into any game.

A possible exception might be survival horror games that depend on the being alone part to scare you - there's more fear there when you can't depend on your friend to bail you out. I still do like the option in those games, as long as the other player isn't there in the single player being controlled by the computer.

Why would you force multiplayer onto LA Noire. 10 hours into the game, I realize it's a more than adequate single player experience and no multiplayer is needed what so ever. It would just feel forced and tacked on. We don't need MP in every game we play these days. Be serious.

Not all games need a competitive MP component. In fact, games that don't bolt it on tend to turn out a whole lot better overall.

I don't see what's the point of adding MP in every game, like seriously, not everybody is dependent on multiplayer, if there are games that are meant for singleplayer, let it be that way, articles like this would force developers to work on it even if they don't want to!!!!

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
