anyone downplaying Bioshock 2 needs to do their research. the Multi and SP were made by two completly different devs. hell they werent even in the same country. So no time was taking from the SP experience. I think thats the way it should be done. The fact is Bioshock 2 story was never going to be as popular as the 1 was. 1 was too damn good. And 2's SP is still better than 99% of the FPSs out there |
Well that was clearly aimed at me....
I used Bioshock 2 as an example of a series declining in quality that just happened to coincide with the addition of a MP mode. I'm well aware it was developed by two different teams, so the SP team wouldn't have lost any time (but the budget would have been affected, and as you'll obviously have noted, I did quite clearly state that such things could take time and money away from the SP). It was just the first example of a series going backwards due to that happy coincidence that popped into my mind, it did not mean I was stating that that is exactly what happened with Bioshock. It was a generic point aimed at the industry as a whole, which I then partially applied to the series...
I could have used Batman: Arkham City seeing as the developer has repeatedly admitted that the addition of multiplayer would diminish the SP experience... And that would also be one of the games that my other point referred to, as I've lost count of the number of opinion pieces I've read demanding MP be added to it.
