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.
Aww man.. I already deleted the Closed Beta client to clear up space on my hard drive. Arrggh, it means I have to go through the dilema again of what game to delete to make more space. I sooo need to invest in a 1TB HDD, especially for when The Division gets released.
By-the-way, anyone know why, when I have 10GB free, and want to download a game that's 5GB, I still get an error message saying "Not enough space on the HardDrive"! Why doesn't the PS4 re-allocate the extra HDD space???
WAHOO I was just about to delete mine this morning but I decided to hold on to it to make sure. Glad I did.
It is going to be the same thing as the close beta or if they will add new areas cause I don't want to redownload just for the same thing again
I really enjoyed The closed beta. Therefore the open beta really doesn't mean much to me I'm ready to go with the full game
