.. and I'm willing to bet that The Last of Us - Part II will be a better game overall than Gears 5 - regardless of no multiplayer component. The Last of Us is a different kind of beast. Don't compare the two.

That depends what you want in a video game. Gamers who enjoy multiplayer games will think otherwise. Better than Gears 5? How does a game that is completely different in gameplay be better than a game thats offering different things? Thats like you saying TLOU2 is going to be better than Age of Empires.. odd thing to say. But if you want to go down that road well i can tell you something Gears 5 does already better than TLOU2, thats offer a multiplayer option.

Different beast? Are you saying its not a video game? What does that even mean?

I have no daubt TLOU2 will offer a great campaign like the first did, but i cannot help my disapointment in companies removing features from games. Remember the feed back Halo 5 copped when they removed split screen? TLOU2 is removing the entire feature completely. Why? Does Sony not think there are gamers who like multiplayer?

They already said they're going to make it, just not as a half baked mode but rather as something that can stand on it's own. 

Guerrilla Games is also making a Multiplayer title. Clearly they don't want to make Multiplayer games with tacked on Campaigns or Single Player games with tacked on Multiplayer. All that does is make the overall product look bad. If a game is SP only people judge it based solely on that, but it has a Multiplayer that's not as good as the Single player or vice versa the entire game suffers for it. 

We've seen Rockstar do it with GTAV and RDR2, and CDPR is planning the same with CP2077. These are the best devs out there, If they're all doing something it's likely the right call. While lesser devs just keep offering more half baked products.
