| SvennoJ said: Great list. I would add: Demon's souls / Journey for incorporating multiplayer into the single player experience in an unobtrusive way. Demon's / Dark souls and Journey are not the same without the multiplayer aspect. The connectedness you feel with complete strangers in these games is something I had not experienced before. |
Exactly what I wanted to say, and the very first thing that popped into my mind when I read the thread title. Changing the perception of what multplayer can actually entail is a pretty big deal. I hope more games touch on that in the future, where the inclusion of other players in the actual campaign is done in creative and immersive ways.
I'd also like to add Borderlands for the simple yet brilliant idea of combining loot-whoring with a FPS game. Yeah, it sounds silly, but no one had really developed that area and damn if it's not compelling.
