    Death of Single Player?

    in Gaming in general

    Posted

    Against. Pretty much ignoring the single player angers me because I don't like playing Multiplayer because its mostly filled with angsty little kids who think that saying 'fuck' makes them adults. Plus, most people spend hours and hours on Multiplayer and have gotten good to the point where it's no fun because they keep killing you and you can't get much better.

    This is what hacks are for... Just sit there and watch the noobs run, then turn off the hack and learn from the good players... That's the only way some people can learn to rock in FPS games. I went from a 1-1 KDR at my best, to a 5-1 KRD average in most FPS games just by using a wallhack that let me get used to seeing what players did in various situations... Took about 1 month of hacking, and I never needed to hack again. (I still do for the noobrage, and just to annoy some people, but I mostly don't anymore, and never hack to level up)

    But by using hacks you have an unfair advantage over other players. And even if YOU learn from it, it is very selfish and ruins the fun for other players.

    When, since around Half Life 2, have we seen a single player only game with such a lengthy campaign, which not only kept the gameplay going, but kept it engaging and evolving as the player progressed?

     

    Bioshock, anyone? The first one that is, the second one did have multi-player and that sadly wasn't such a good thing. Then again the BS2 was developed by a different company than BS1.

     

    The reason I personally wasn't taking into account Bioshock is because I think it's pretty overrated. But that's a discussion for another time. Anyway, Bioshock is a good example of what I'm talking about. The first was a well received single player game, but for the second one, likely the publisher requested it's sequel to have a multiplayer component. I read an article once about how a publisher executive thought Dead Space was a bad game because it "lacked multiplayer". Guess what he had the developer do for the sequel?

    (though to be honest I'm not knocking Dead Space 2's single player. It was better than the original imo, and worth the 50~ dollars I paid for it. My point is that it's an example of the publisher's shifting focus, not the developers.)

     

    Also, I may have badly stated my point in the original post. I'm not saying that no great single player games come out. I'm saying that these changes are just starting to happen.

    Yeah, I agree with what you are saying. But as you said that and many other bad things come because of the publishers.

    Don't cut my head off and serve it with a side of fries, but I thought Black Ops was pretty good.

    I don't like it because it is more or less copy paste and a lick of paint over it. They puke out a new CoD every year which are mostly the same but very few changes from the last one. I mean sure they added a few new things(CoD points, Theater and Custom emblems ect.), but those things are nothing new in the gaming world. And for the budget the developers receive they should be WAY more original, and implant things no one has done yet.

    I'd rather cheer with joy the day we can finally live in peace and not in fear of terrorism. Not that I believe that day is near at all.

    I honestly believe that day will never be seen by us or even our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren... Probly even be worse for them...

    I doubt there will ever be 100% peace. But humans are getting smarter and smarter over time, and I hope that someday we will be smart enough to actually realize what the hell we are doing, and how it affects other people.

    Osama's death is a +1 for America, but cheering somebody's death isn't exactly what somebody should be doing. Unfortunately, we're human too and if somebody that caused me a lot of problems was killed I wouldn't be able to help but maybe yell out in joy. I'd feel bad about it later if I knew them personally at one point but none of us know that man like so. It's nothing personal here so I don't see too much wrong with it.

     

    [joke] The thing I thought when I heard about his death was, "The next Call of Duty is going to be awesome." And I'm not the only one. [/joke]

    The problem with your theory is that this isn't a game, there is no score, there is no +1 for America, or for al quaida. There are just people dying all over the place, and whether that be Americans or people from al quaida, it doesn't solve anything.
