Non-linearity in my opinion makes games better.

and you forgot that a lot of the linear title you named are classics or on their way to be because of multiplayer..... yeah people don't play gears campain 20 time over.... but they do play a shit load more hours online at the end than any of the supposed non linear game you speak of..... so the value per minute played is still way higher.... with the exception of those few open RPG.....

i'm not talking about multiplayer, multiplayer never make a game, since the newest games often have the best multiplayer even if their single player parts are crappy.

really ???? I'm pretty sure you take out multiplayer out of the top selling FPS and the IP is dead or close to it....

So if the servers are gone for example the game isn't a classic anymore right?

if multiplayer is what made Halo so great then why do you think people demand it to be Remade? they should have just played Halo Reach and get on with it, think about it for a second, Multiplayer is never a big factor of why certain games are considered "Classic", do people remember Call Of Duty's campaign ? No , Do people remember Half Life 2's campaign ? Yes.

this is outrageous am I the only one here thinking he is gonna always find a new excuse....???/

first of there is no such thing as servers for XB multiplayer gaming..... second it extremely rarely go down....

now people didn't demand anything.... and halo 2 is still the referrence (because of multiplayer)... the only thing that people wanted was an XB 360 version of the first one with the increase in graphical quality make sense to me...... and once again trust me the best selling argument part on Halo anniversary IS the multiplayer.... and to go on half life 2.... that game has nothing on HL 1 and yet counter strikes lives on way over HL..... IN EVERY MAJOR FPS TODAY MULTIPLAYER IS THE KEY FACTOR TO SUCCESS..... name one FPS that sells better than a FPS with a major multiplayer..... name me just one and I'll stop posting..... HELL even Goldeney on N64 is a classic a lot due to its great multiplayer..... and once again you are focussing on my optional point when main issue here is you to show me how your exemples are in any way less linear..... like I said by your definition beside fallout NV and the elder scroll series I don't see many

I never said anything about sales, read the title of this thread, i don't care about Multiplayer being so popular nowadays, so is the Twilight books and Justin Bieber, but those are never classics, a Great game is is great with or without multiplayer.

now can we stay on topic please? . we are talking about linearity vs non-linearity, not single player vs multiplayer, or Sales vs Quality.

by the way, Half Life didn't have multiplayer.
