It has always been the same, most gamers just don't love single player like most COD don't complete the SP or even not touch it... In the Nes days it was not only about playing games alone most of us would spend weekends playing games with friends together;.Mario...Contra..Micro machines...and so on..

But back in the NEW days we didn't bash a game if it was SP only. We would call and ask have you beat this yet or have you made it to this part etc. And we still enjoyed playing games together like the ones you mentioned. It jus seems now as if the SP portion of most games is getting less and less attention and the MP is the sole focus and that just doesn't sit well with me I guess.

Well their was not enough games with multiplayer yet, people would have bashed for sure if they could not play the next contra/mortal combat/soccer game with two though.. only nobody would hear it because their were no forums..  I liked Sega in the old days and I remember a letter in a magazine how he felt sad that you can't play Sonic with 2 players while Nintendo had mario and you could. Lucky Sonic 2 changed that..
