No matter what you think, IGN is right.

This thread calls for an Einstein quote, albeit a bit modified,

Any fool can make something bigger, more elaborate and expensive in the gaming market.

It takes a touch of genius to make it more simple, addictive and fun.

Current hd owners have become incredible whining babies from the looks of it, every console should offer the same thing it seems. Yet consoles from the NES days have always been about being different from each other, not just by games, but by features that can be implemented into them. The difference right now is that elitist gamers have become quite greedy for any feature that would mean they could further make their life more lazy.

Online play and DLC are so insignificant on the market that it actually must be too painful for most to realize it, especially DLC. Multiplayer is great, no doubt, but it is just incredibly stupid for people to say that they won't buy a game if it lacks mp. Games have also been always about single player modes, unless the games were specifically made to be about playing together.

the way i see it, if someone values co-op online over single player modes would probably mean that the gamer is desperate for friends, even if only online. The best way to help would kick his ass, destroy his consoles and make him go out and find friends in the real world.... Okay maybe too radical but i really don't understand why anyone would value on-line mp over single player modes in games.

yes , and i apologize for going off topic, but the reason why the wii gets attacked or hated on all the time is because hardcore gamers see what the wii is doing to the industry, sure there happy with sony and microsoft now, but they see how nintendo has abandoned them for their massive profits on casual games, soon microsoft and sony will do the same starting with this gens motion controllers. the wii has changed the entire plane of gaming demographics, and i think by the end of next gen their might not be a hardcore audience anymore.in the end their will only be shovelware and mario.
