It's Time To Separate Single Player And Multiplayer Completely

VelocityGamer Writes: Now Mass Effect 3 is on the chopping block to tack on multiplayer and it's time to make the case for separating these conjoined twins for their own health.

Not every game needs to have multiplayer...of any kind.
I don't need to battle people online, I don't need other to join in on my quest and most importantly, I don't need it degrading the quality of single player by taking away valuable resources; Time, Money, etc.

JaredH5356d ago (Edited 5356d ago )

I'd rather have coop missions in ME3 than the planet scanning from ME2. From the ign article it looks like it's gonna be replacing that in one way or another since your end goal is easier or different if you do the coop missions but you can skip it if you want.

L6RD7BLU35354d ago

Exactly I.E Lost Planet 2 (single player is crap), so as F.e.a.r 3 (single player is disappointing)

earbus5357d ago

Yeah singleplayer just bores me personally .

TheObserver5357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

Single player and multiplayer hybrids like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls proves that you can have both simultaneously.

Hockeydud195357d ago (Edited 5357d ago )

Ya? And how many games like that are around?

Oh u edited your comment..

TheObserver5356d ago

Yes, I thought that bit was unneeded. Gotta respect opinions.

The_Nameless_One5357d ago

Too bad Dark Souls MP is such a broken mess.

TheObserver5356d ago

That I got to admit. Demon's Souls system was better. They messed up this time with the random server designation and causing lag when people are on the opposite end of the earth.

BISHOP-BRASIL5356d ago

I didn't liked Demon's Souls MP any better... I have the platinum for it, but quite frankly I did 90% of it offline!

When you want some Co-Op you need to wait to be picked up or wait for some Blue to drop a stone. It can take too much time, specially since servers are broken down by region of the copy and much more lately since many people simply stopped playing, those who still play focus more on PvP.

When you wanted to have a friend in your session you needed to assemble a meeting in some place no one else will disturb, you two need to be around the same level and if anything goes wrong you have to start over... I just wanted some friendly multiplayer, not a date! LOL

And we should be able to choose when to PvP. I know there are Red Stones for that, but Black Phantoms are party crashers... Just when you are focusing on PvE, some PvP dedicated build invades and even when you get around killing them, you waist time and resources doing so, just to get invaded again... It's a good concept, but annoying after sometime. We should be able to turn it off at least.

It's just my opnion through... I guess it's great for people who like MMORPGs.

I say that mp-games like bf and cod drop the campaigns to put resources into the useful part. Their sp's are afterthoughts.

And sp games need to drop the mp like ME and Deadspace to make the campaigns longer.

Elwenil5357d ago

Eh, different strokes for different folks. I don't mind multiplayer in a normally single player game as long as it's all done with quality like Uncharted 2 and comparable games. Similarly, I don't mind a decent single player on a normally multiplayer game like the upcoming BF3. If devs think they can half ass one, the other or both, it's time to start voting with your wallet and let them know how unhappy you are buy not buying their products. As long as people keep eating the crap, they will keep shoveling it at you.

The getaway

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

Knushwood Butt486d ago

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.

Abear21486d ago

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

M_Prime485d ago

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

YourMommySpoils485d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg485d ago (Edited 485d 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

jznrpg485d ago (Edited 485d 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

anast549d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine549d 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.

anast549d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman549d ago

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

anast548d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman548d ago
