Not too long ago, most video games didn't have online multiplayer and the ones that did, the multiplayer mode was considered a secondary feature - now it's completely different - is it a good thing? Alex takes a look at this subject for SuperCheats.
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
I completely disagree .
I disagree and I am a person who isn't really into multiplayer. Multiplayer has been a godsend for the single player genre as it had to step up its game to entice consumers over. Storytelling has gotten more important and the quality from some developers has shot up since multilayer went big on consoles. You go back to some of those old games that had no multiplayer and you look at those campaigns. They are longer but they follow a similar formula COD and other FPS still follow today. It is objective based disjointed mission. There is no real story bringing it all together nor is the story any good (in a way the campaigns in COD have more of a story now than they did back then)
I think that mandatory multiplayer is the problem. Multiplayer itself is great when made well.
I'd rather devs develop to their strengths. Is it single-player you do best? If so, stick to that.
Are you tacking multi-player on for the sake of it? Deep down you know your lobbies will be empty in no time. What's the point? lol
I have to disagree with this. While i'll admit some games are better off without Multiplayer like more story driven single player games. However some games thrive off multiplayer and to tell the truth has become more of sport. I used to like the Multiplayer in KillZone 2 more than the single player experience, and that's not the only game I've enjoyed like that. All i'm saying is some games are better with it and some without.
