My personal opinion about online gaming is that I don't like it that much and that it had a bad impact on my gaming experience. I simply prefer playing with someone I know who ist in the same room via splitscreen to playing with strangers on the internet.
There are games with an online coop-campaign like Resident Evil 5 that I have played through with my brother. I really liked this feature. But when you can play the campaign only online coop it is a bad thing. This simply means that my wife has to watch me playing with some "stranger" on the internet. I mean, how stupid is this?
Online competitive Multiplayer is so boring to me. I simply have no interest in this and it is NOT adding any replay value to me. I wouldn't mind added online modes if they were not necessary for the platinum trophy. For me, Online multiplayer does not add "replay value"... it adds "wasted time" to my gaming experience.
And the worst thing about it. It feels like I am playing the same game over and over again since years. Deathmathc, Team-Deathmatch, Capture the flag... Every time the same old game. I am sick of this and I stopped buying games from certain Western developers bcause of this online and social gaming craze.
Ultimately I think that US gamers simply have totally different tastes and expectations about gaming. I personally do not like the Way the industry headed in this generation, but I was able to find many excellent games in this generation despite. But I can't say what the new generation will bring. It might get even worse...
