you know what would be awesome? If they let you play Texas Hold 'em, Liar's Dice, and Horseshoes against other people online.
I think that the multiplayer has SOOOO much potential, but it is rather shallow and just not very fun. I loved the game, and I still play the multiplayer, but there are many aspects they could improve.
1) Open up each free roam session to at least 2 times the amount of people. The world is really big, and it wouldn't be overcrowded. Plus you could have more than onebig posse, you could have two or three.
2) Minigames, minigames...like I stated, let us play Texas Hold 'em in the public free roam. I played texas hold em alot in the single player, and cleaned out all those poor souls. Sure as shooting!
3) Someone stated this earlier, no more names that automatically pop-up above a player. I can't sneak if you can see my name in giant green letters. Only exception would be posse members.
4) Utilize the cannons and gatling guns more in multiplayer. There is only one map that I have played that has the cannon incorporated in it, and it was fun as hell!
Fact: Earthbound is the greatest game ever made
