Single player is everything. Games that lack it are hollow and empty. That's not to say that online multiplayer is bad. Allow me to delve further.
There have been a few multiplayer only games that are fairly good. Counterstrike, WoW, ect. Those games are great. However, speaking generally, and painting with a broad brush, online multiplayer only games aren't worth my damn time. I bought a game, not an engine, and I don't want to rely on the same asshole internet friends I've played every game since DaoC with, to yet again make another lame ass engine fun with their presence.
The only exception here is the game Phantasy Star Online. It was an absolute blast, and "multiplayer only" yet much of the fun with that game could be had alone, in the docking station, and it wasn't bogged down with a ton of internet chat. I'll give it to PSO, great game.
That said, RE4 kicks its shit, as does any game with a great single player campaign, like Galaxy.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
