    To some degree I think GTA V proved that to be wrong, despite the later addition of GTA Online I 'm pretty sure most people bought it for the singleplayer experience.

    This is so accurate. GTA V was 100% proof that if you make a single player game that is enjoyable from beginning to end, millions of people will still pay the full £45 - £55 asking price, even knowing that it will just sit on a shelf not doing a great deal
    when it's all over and done with. Same goes with Fallout and Skyrim. Best seller games that will never truly need an online mode whether it's there or not.

    I enjoy the single player aspect as its more relaxing... Multiplayer games get me too stressed sometimes specially FIFA.

    The amount of 17 - 19 year olds I see on my Facebook who complain that they've just smashed another controller because of FIFA online is ridiculous. I can understand it may be stressful but I'll never know how a game can be stressful to the point of paying
    £50 because you lost.

  3. They are idiots, I have never thrown a controller i do have a punch bag hanging next to me though so that helps... When you demolish a guy all game without scoring and he/she gets a corner and scores in the 90th minute its pretty frustrating.

    The future of single player...

    For me multiplayer is fun in short bursts but I do need a good single player story to sink my teeth into too once in a while. Also I'm kinda hoping we see another Civilization type game this generation, I know all the PC fans claim it doesn't work on consoles
    but I loved Civ Rev and would happily play another on the One.

  5. [quote user="II FOZZER II"]Are developers aiming to remove the days of playing single player (alone) from future games. Titanfall is a game that's going to be online. There will be single player objectives, but you will still be online with other players.
    [/quote]We had a similar discussion when Chromehounds was out as a release window title for the 360. Bioshock Infinite was one of the best games of last year.

    I do think we'll always see single player games, but we'll also see more and more of these MMO online games, which I can't wait for and some current developers scrapping single player (Main one being Dice and Battlefield)

    Yep, and games like Assassins Creed/Tomb Raider etc, scrap the multiplayer, not needed in my opinion.

    As for DICE, I'd like to see them get as far away from EA as possible, I believe we would see ALOT better games if they did.

    @MetalGearFolppy: Yeah completely. MMORPG's are just too addictive to ignore as a genre. I would love to see a good Phantasy Star Online sort of game come and hit the marketplace. Even a port of the Dreamcast version would please me.



    @Lofty Who: Multiplayer for TR was just bad. No need for it. I have to admit that theres been some great games I have had on Assassins Creed multiplayer though, but nothing that would keep me going back for more. I think they should set it so you can invade
    other peoples campaign. Imagine playing an AC game knowing that there are human controlled players gunning for your blood. They would have to set some parameters to make it far though.

    The future of single player... :p sorry I couldn't resist slipping in a non-mod edit / correction! Am I cheeky? Please don't ban me!

    On topic, defiance was / is a great fun MMORPG, just didn't get the love it deserved because the TV tie wasn't the best (after the first few episodes)!

    I like a lot of campaigns and buy a lot of games primarily for the campaigns. I wouldn't have touched Gears if it wasn't for the story, I'm not interested in Guitar Hero or Forza online and Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and GTA/Bully never would have got anywhere
    without their campaign modes. I won't go in to the reason why RPGs like Fallout, TES and Fable should remain single player only unless they build MMOs from scratch.

    -

    That said, game like Call of Duty and Battlefield are just fun to quickly play through when you can't really be bothered. Without their online modes they wouldn't be worth £5, let alone £55. I think it all comes down the the style of the game but at the
    same time, I think it's important that devs try to make their games appeal to everyone with both modes but without trying to distract themselves and make a game something it's not. It's all a case of balance.
