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 agree that it should be nominated. The Dark Zone alone makes it deserving imo, but also the very fun co-op play. I'm not usually one for higher difficulty levels as a way to get more time with a game. I'll normally try them but more often than not I'll end up simply playing it again on Normal if I like it enough. One of the things I love about The Division is the escalating difficulty with more players, but I'm also really enjoying the daily Hard missions and the slap in the face that is Challenging. The city itself is also amazing and worthy of high praise.
I think by the end of the year other games will overshadow The Division, but I believe it's worthy of being included in the conversation. Having said that, the Dark Zone is the most interesting multiplayer I've experienced in a long time and I doubt there will be a multiplayer mode for the rest of the year that will make me feel the same, so maybe the game can win some GotY awards based on that. We'll see.
Naa, the end game isn't good enough imo but if it is nominated it's just a testament to the lack of great games this year.I hate to be the negative Nancy but the division is more of an average/solid game. nothing more, nothing less. But we'll see what new content is added as these kinds of games are ever-changing.
It should be nominated but imo so far GOTY is XCOM 2.
