Some games sure is constructed in a way that SP is the only logical option, but so many of them would be very good to enjoy with a friend on couch

That sounds wrong, lol.

Don't you play videogames with friends in the same couch? I really like to do it.

You said to enjoy with a friend on couch, not play with a friend on couch... though that sounds wrong just as well now that I think about it xP

When I want really complex characters with really good stories I read books and watch movies, and I do that a lot, that's maybe why I find many Sony games so dull, they focus a lot on that but they aren't nearly as good as the characters and stories I usually consume and they usually make the equivalent of american cinema blockbusters which is not exactly my thing but to each their own, personally I like when games are great at being games, I can't help but think the need to make it so close to films is born from insecurity, cinema has been considered a high class art for a long time, so some (simple) people think games need to be the same in order to be high class art too, everytime I read story is the most important thing on a videogame a part of me dies.

So why do you come in all Sony threads if their output don't interest you at all? And sorry that some of us doesn't get all your fancy inteligence and maturity that only Dickenson can satisfy.

Go and help yourself outside of holiwood and Sony games.
