Despite some of the cool hands on we've read, at least one person's demo was turned into just another lobby shooting demo, which may not bode well for the game.
from paulsemel.com: In this exclusive Q&A, the author of the new technothriller based on "Tom Clancy's: The Division" discusses how it ties to the games while also bringing its own story to a close.
If you're looking to try out an exciting, team-based shoot 'em up, The Division is currently on sale on Steam!
TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
my hype for this game has gone
also Ubisoft's staged "online game talk" is terrible. They do this for all online games now.
Their Division and R6 demos absolutely do not represent how these games will actually be played online.
"Ugh, guys we have so much LOOT now" Gimme a break
Yeah I'll wait until the game is finished, and I've played it to make a judgement call...
The Seige trailer was the same way, but I had a blast playing the alpha! Hopefully, Division will turn out the same.
Funny because I had to reread it, I saw Massiveflop at first. Anyways hope it turns out decent at least for the peeps interested. The downgrade sure isn't helping though.
