We explain just how the genre-blending 2016 shooter plays.
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.
I kind of fell of the FPS wagon for some time, but now that some games are adding a little bit to the genre I keep getting sucked back in.
the diarrhea
Can not wait for the division, in many ways. That post was a good read, unbiast and it actually tells it how it is..
I've had this pre-ordered for a good long while now. I'm looking forward to it, but I'll reserve judgement once I give it a go in December.
I'm not sure how to feel about The Division.....when it was first revealed, I loved the premise. But as a guy who loves single player games and doesn't get much from multiplayer, I'm not sure this game will be what I hoped it would be. I know they say you can play it solo, but I still need to see how this will work. I'm not against playing with others at all, but my time is limited and when I sit down to enjoy a game I like to do so at my own pace and really explore the world, which is something that just does not happen (in my experience, anyway) in multiplayer or co-op.
