I don't care if it's good multiplayer, a long single player campaign, or a short single player game played through multiple times, as long as I'm getting about that out of the game I'm generally happy. |
See, I do understand that because it seems to be the model games are taking at the moment - loads of 8 or so hour single-player games sell millions of copies each year at full price
But an 8 hour game with no replayability is going to be completed in two, possibly three sittings for me. If I had the money I'm sure I could justify it better, but for that price it would have be giving me at least a fortnight worth of play.
So generally I only buy RPG's/games I'm buying for the multi-player at full price (unless my hype levels are really high for it) and otherwise I wait for the inevitable £20 a few months later sale.
I'd agree with Kowenicki too, a bolted-on MP isn't going to be a selling point at all, I'd treat such as game as a single-player experience that I may have a go at the online with.
