The hardcore gamer that's been playing since atari, invariably values a single player campaign overall.
The guys who started gaming when they got their Xboxes for christmas when they were 13, and like to call themselves "hardcore" and play XBL from their mothers basements, are the real casuals, and yes, they love their online modes.
Just send Yhatzee an Email over at Zero Punctuation and he'll tell you where you can stick your online mode, lol. |
You couldn't be anymore right, I've been making that very same arguement about today's "hardcore" gamers being more casual than they realise for a long time now. The ones who look for violence and noob pwnage in their games to be hardcore, they're casual in that thats all they'll ever play, with no mindset to look outside the box and discover the variey of games.
Anyway sorry for the tangent, but he's right, online is important, but it will NEVER EVER beat the feeling of having three close friends around the TV, with a controller each, some food and some drinks and the whole night ahead of you. THAT is social multiplayer gaming at it's best and that will never be beaten by any online game, ever.
Online gaming is great, I love it, but it loses a hell of alot of the sociality that comes with original multiplayer gamin.
