I prefer splitscreen over online every day of the week. 

It's much more fun to beat the person that's with you in the room than some idiot 12 year old screaming F-bombs in your ear. 

Everyone forgot about GoldenEye? Man, I still play that splitscreen once every while and it's still incredible.

 

Yeah, the only people who want splitscreen multiplayer seem to be those who are longtime nintendo fans. :p You know that you don't have to listen to some 12 year olds if you play online? You don't have to use headset (360) and even if you do, you can always mute those kind of people. Or you can team up with your friends..

 

I remember goldeneye, it was the sucky bond-game which my friend always wanted to play on his small television. Of course splitscreen, which is even worse on small tv. It really sucked. Hard. I can't believe how someone can think of that as a good game. Hldm, tfc, quake 2 and unreal tournament were just so much better then.

Lol, you're definitely in the minority here.

Metacritic: 96

 

Btw, not only Nintendo fans like splitscreen. Some people have a really weird idea of gaming, like it's always supposed to be a solitairy serious business. I guess you also prefer Fifa/PES online? Or fighters? Or race games?

There are loads of people on all consoles that like to game with friends in the same location. Sure it doesn't make the presentation better, but it does provide much more fun.

 

Isn't it pretty much agreed that review scores doesn't matter? I bet there are a lot of people who did not like goldeneye. Almost every pc-gamer, I guess. :) Just compare that game to hldm/tfc/quake2 or whatever pc-fps:s were back then.

 

What is your problem? We were talking about fps-games, which just are better online than splitscreen. I don't play fifa or pes, but for me it is pretty much the same if I play NHL against a friend on shared screen (yes, that does not suck as splitscreen) or online. Sometimes it is much more fun on shared screen, sometimes not. I don't really care for fighters, but I really haven't seen a splitscreen fighter. Racers, that is a tough call. I don't play a lot of multiplayer racers, but I have played forza online and on splitscreen. I prefer online. Mostly because my friends suck at forza, so their whining is quite annoying. :D
