With some recent and pending releases opting to exclude a multiplayer mode; Skewed and Reviewed ask in a new Opinion Piece if this is a growing trend as developers seek to cut costs more than ever.
I think the riskier option is to sell a SP game that you throw some form of MP into just for the sake of it and that ends up affecting the quality of the SP experience. With the plethora of F2P MP games out there, why spend time and money on something when you can focus on the SP experience. Not to say that means they're all good, but at least they're not wasting time with things people don't want in SP games. I doubt anyone bought Veilguard for MP let alone will buy the next Star Wars SP game and expect MP either.
There is that. I think the modes that were tried for The Last of Us is a good example. But for me a FPS missing multiplayer seems off as it was such a staple FPS, RTS, and sports games are where gamers expect it to be.
It's the current logic. People are paying more, for less.
If that "saved" money were actually spent on improving the single-player experience, that’d be one thing. But anyone who actually plays games knows that’s not what happens. We’re in the era of “safe” games, stripped-down, polished packages full of shiny lighting, big setpieces, and all the interactivity of a NES-era background.
Multiplayer modes, extra features, modding tools, things that used to add value for players, keep getting cut. Why? Because they don’t add value for the company. And, as always, the useful idiots will cheer, pay more all while getting less than before. So of course companies will keep doing it.
Exactly and what gets me is if it is done correctly, multiplay adds money. Ask Activision how much they make on skins and DLC all the while giving a year of free content updates. You get through a Call of Duty campaign in about 8-12 hrs. The multiplayer and frequent content updates are what keeps people playing. I always pop back in when new maps and content release. I do not buy skins and packs but many do. I wonder if we will get the Half-Life 2 mode where Multiplayer is added later. Some may see how the game does and then decide to add it later.
I wish they would go back to having SOME simple mp, like instead of the only choices being going all out and gambling on a super roadmaped, season pass, Battle Royale, multiplayer with open world maps and tons of loot OR no multiplayer at all. Why cant we have something in between sometimes? Where's just this very simple PVP probably reusing a sectioned off peace of a level from a single player like they used to do
I think they all have a place but simpler forms are needed. I wish we would see more co-op play in a campaign.
These are the best character builds in Clair Obscur per character.
generally, it doesnt matter until after the half way mark, but will be more important later on
I’ve been beating every single boss with my build… except phase 2 Simon… can’t believe they made that menace
This is the last thing i need to get to be set up properly, have avoided it because i mostly play with my freinds on playstation so i dont think i would use it a whole lot, but for the few freinds i have that do have a gaming pc.
Using normal phone earbuds suck as the voice chat- game mixer is rubbish.
Think ill grab the official xbox ones, i hope the mixing is a lot better for an official headset, sonts puose head sets are awesome so hopefully these match up to it.

I have the official Xbox wireless headset. I love it. The sound may not be the “best” out there. But they do sound good. Only an audiophile would really argue otherwise.
I convinced my gf to get them when her ok pair went and she loves them now to.
I also have the PS5 pulse headset, I think they may sound a tiny bit better. But I actually really prefer the turn dial set up on the Xbox headset. It’s way more intuitive instead of having 2 small dials and 3-4 buttons.
I use the Turtle Beach 600 Stealth Gen 2, wireless and $100, and I have pretty mixed feeling on it. Quality of sound, paired with Dolby Atomos, is great. I use it to sound-whore in PUBG all the time.
The cons are annoyances and inconveniences more than anything.
1. The mic picks up EVERYTHING. It would pick up my fingers rubbing together on default settings (a sound my ears wouldn't pick up). You can plug it into a computer and download an app to lower the mic sensitivity, but even on the lowest setting it picks up a ton of ambient noses in the background. If you are playing singleplayer, obviously this doesn't matter, but playing in a squad, this can be annoying as it will key the mic frequently.
2. To mute the mic, you have to either flip it up or press a button on the left side of the headset. Volume for games is adjusted with a dial and party chat has a separate volume dial. This can be frustrating since you have to take a hand off the controller to mute the mic or adjust any volume, which can be hard in the heat of battle. I used a wired Turtle Beach headset before that had a controller puck that had the mute and volume buttons on it and it was vastly more convenient.
3. I have a large head, so it isn't a very comfortable headset. It is too rigid and needs some more flex in it.
So, essentially, this is a great headset for singleplayer games, but I can't recommend it for people that play mostly multiplayer games.
