torok said: It's easy to understand. And example is God of War 3. I have it. But two of my friends simply borrowed a copy and finished the game (one of them borrowed mine). Multiplayer is a way to avoid people that simply borrow the game or sell it used, so expect most games to get an enforced multiplayer.
This. Local multiplayer is so much fun. I'm not against online (you couldn't play with 30+ people in a local session), but local interation is a precious thing. At least, fighting and sports games still keep a strong local multiplayer mode. I miss more shooters with split-screen online play. And the lack os split-screen coop is a huge issue. |
Same to me.
Online play is great, for sure, it´s nice to have more than just the regular main/story mode. But take the example of Need For Speed Most Wanted. I never imagined a racing game withou split screen. I was really really dissapointed when I got this game and noticed that it doesn´t have local multiplayer, only online! Where I live fast internet connections are not available and I was expecting this game to be one to use during my gaming parties with friends. Dissapointing.
I always thought that videogames were a great way to gather people together, but it seems that companies don´t think like that, or don´t want them to be like that
