The reason why I think offline or story mode will never leave is because there are people who really like a good story mode and buy a game just for the story ie LA Noire. Also after playing a multiplayer game its good to go back to a great story. Sometimes multiplayer can be annoying.

Dude don't take this crap seriously. gamethirst has never provided a good story, just a bunch of bull-malarkey.

Well as much as I hope they're right, I agree.

mikeslemonade4740d ago

How much is PSN when it comes back online? Oh... that's right it's free!

Scyrus4740d ago

Im a singleplayer dude. storyline always beats MP for me.

sure fighting games are my fav genre, but nothin beats a good SP game. i mean seriously, games like uncharted 2, and heavy rain stay stuck with you.

and well i love jrpgs, Rpgs and Action games like DMC and ninja gaiden, soooo yeah, i'd rather stomp on COD than give those games up

With no offline means no Demons souls, GOW, red dead, and other great games like that. I was lost when the psn went off but ive realized that when it comes back on ill still keep just playing Dead Space and Heavy Rain, i just might get a few online matches in FN champion and KZ3. The only people who think sp is going away is people who only play shooters. Too me atleast you can only play so many death matches. I had just as much fun beating the story mode in KZ as I did online.

Online will be here for a long time. How else can you compete with people all over the world? This might be the dumbest articles I have ever read.

oneDMAC4740d ago

It did. I was on my way out the door when I saw it and replied. My apologies.

SP can't die. Multiplayer is all well and good but it has it's issues. It's not solid. To even make it feel as good as a SP witch doesn't obviously lag have bad glitches and you don't need to worry about disconectons. it also is a chance for gamers to be submersed into a story follow it threw on a personal level just you and the game. Chance to explore look at every detail instead rushing around cos you can't wait for too long in MP in case you get a bullet up your butt. To me good part of the price I pay for Amy game is cos the SP
I would not want to pay £40 $60 for online game .

I'm all about a good single player story. There's a reason the MGS series along with Fumito Ueda's work is my very favorite. Online games are fun I suppose, but really I think they're a waste of time and are terribly repetitive. And you get what, experience points? And level up? Wooooo, now you're tickling my fancy. Now that'll entertain me.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
