Its a sad fact that so many younger gamers will pass on a great game if it doesnt feature multiplayer.
They miss out on many incredible AAA single player games like Dead Space , Bioshock , Oblivion , Deus Ex and many others.
Its more a generational thing than anything else.
You see us old fart gamers that grew up playing video games in the 80s and 90s were winged on hundreds of excellent single player games from Metroid on the N.E.S. to Metal Gear Solid on Playstation 1.
The majority of the younger gamers that started gaming in the Playstation 2 / Xbox generation with games like Halo simply will not give a good single player game a second look out of unfounded bias and misinformation.
The fact is that a lot of -gamers- that only play multiplayer based games like Halo and Call of Duty never bother to play through the single player campaigns of said games.
The fallout being that there are fewer and fewer quality single player games being released and more and more games that dont need a tacked on multiplayer mode - Bioshock 2 and Dead Space 2 - being forced to add an unnecessary and at times horrible multiplayer modes that detract from what could have otherwise been a solid single player experience.
I WOULD DELETE THIS POST BUT WAITING FOR ALL THE PC AND FUCKING PS3 FANBOYS TO DELETE IT FOR ME..

i know friends who wont buy games and even arkham asylum because they want to get their moneys worth. I remember during the last gen when it was all about story games and multiplayer was a small thing
Yeah not only its to grab the majority of gamers or whatever... But its business...a business trend
I prefer a single player game with a decent long story to short bursts of multiplayer gameplay. There are a few titles recently I've waited for a price drop before buying due to lack of interest in a tacked on multiplayer.
I still like a multiplayer game, but not on everything.
Give me plenty of singleplayer fun, and I don't care if the multiplayer exists or not.
Sadly, though, developers feel like they HAVE to add in multiplayer to keep their games in the public eye.
I haven't touched the multiplayer in AC: brotherhood. I probably won't bother with the multiplayer in UC3. I've played a few deathmatches in GTA4, and a couple of TDM's in MGS4. I have come to the conclusion that the best online component anywhere is User Generated content. This is especially true when you've got some creative people creating the levels, or missions, or whatever.
