considering they are online games i dont see the problem


Define online game, because if the Crew demo you see the guy doing a mission by himself, there's no reason why he can't be offline.


from what i understood they are multiplayer online games.

Well along with Destiny, these games are kind of MMOs, even if they aren't quite MMOs

You can have a single player experience, but it all has to take place within this persistent world. I think we basically have to consider it a new genre for next-gen

I am not sure if it is a good thing or not?

There is no problem. They are both mmo like games like destiny is.

As I've said before, just because Sony and Microsoft try to come out smelling like roses by not hard-implementing system-wide DRM or mandatory online, that doesn't mean that they won't allow third parties to make those things happen in their own games. It was the big third party pubs pushing for that shit in the first place. So there's no reason to act surprised about this.


There's no reason to act surprised?  After seeing the backlash that Microsoft got it should have scared third party developers straight.  I garuntee this will cut the sales of The Crew and The Division.  Especially considering how much these games cost to make now Ubisoft is taking a big gamble and I hope it doesn't pay off or other third party studios will start to follow suit, thinking that's where the money is.


I didn't say it was a good thing, did I? I personally hate the idea of DRM for disc based games, AND being forced to be online. Two reasons I am glad I own a Wii U. But the fact of the matter is, Sony making such a big show of "oh well WE'RE not gonna do that stuff", was all PR, and half-BS. They ARE going to do it, or at least allow companies to do it, they're just not going to enforce it system-wide as MS was originally intending to do.
