As I stated before, its mostly because there is no single -player for the game.You may think its kind of silly, but for me its important.I would never buy a game thats multiplayer only, unless its a revolutionary game.And Multiplayer only games, unless its MMo or something of the like(because then it has a story to tell, progressions, things found in single-player), should offer a free version, even if it was extremely limited

So basically what you are saying is all multiplayer only games should have a free version? (Except MMOs for some reason)

 

I'm generally not a fan of multiplayer only games (Rocket League is the exception, it has me completely hooked. And before you ask, yes, I paid for it, didn't get it with PS+), however I think that's completely ridiculous. It's like what you are saying is that multiplayer games don't offer anything worth paying for.

I know my opinion is not popular or may not even be reasonable, but thats what I personally feel.I agree that multiplayer can enhance a game but for me, and thats my personal view, is that every single game should have a story mode, a narrative, a beggining and an end.(thats why Im okay with MMO being paid.They may be always online and have incentives to always play with a party, but they have for the most part the structure of a single player game).

Of course, that dosent mean that multiplayer only games cant be excellent.It is just not worth the money for me.(Of course there are exceptions, but I digress)

Why i left PC gaming

Overwatch for me. Doom beta was ok but nothing special. Overwatch looks great though, and unlike Doom, all of the DLC in Overwatch is free, which is important for a MP game's longevity, paid DLC splits the community in a MP game. 

Woah didn't know that. I really liked how they did that in 5.. Makes me more likely to get Overwatch

So games like Rocket League should have a story mode, a narrative, a beginning?

 

It not being worth the money for you is one thing, saying that all multiplayer games should be f2p is another.

Again, thats what I feel.And Rocket League does have single player, so it would justify a price tag, if you were to use my reasoning.

Im not critisizing developers who just make multiplayer only games, I just personally believe that they should have an option to play for free, like Driveclub(even though you need PS Plus but I digress).Its wrong this thinking?Sure.But it is my belief that it should be like this.And when Im saying this, im not trying to downplay any multiplayer game.While I do think that single-player games are in general superior, there is always exceptions, like Rocket League that are really good.

Yep. It's a major reason to get Overwatch. All MP focused games should have free DLC imo.

Doom on the other hand has new weapons, new demons, and new maps locked behind a paywall, that's not cool at all. 

There's going to be free DLC for Doom 4 as well though. I commented on the article here about that, since it made no mention of the free DLC despite the direct source talking about it some. 

 

Not trying to overly defend the game yet, as the open beta will be my first chance. It just seemed standoutish to me and the last game from id tech I played, Rage, I really enjoyed despite the short length. This has around the same story length, but with way better looking multiplayer.

Haha, so as long as you can play alone it qualifies? You didn't mean a campaign in any sense, just literally the ability to play by yourself? In that case, I bet Overwatch will give you the opportunity to play in a lobby against just bots, so that qualifies, right? FYI Driveclub has a singleplayer (and it's more substantial than Rocket League's). The reason Driveclub had a free part with PS+ had nothing to do with it being a multiplayer online only game (which it isn't).

 

Your line of thinking is just as unreasonable as if someone were to say singleplayer only games should all have a way to play them for free. It makes no sense.

I am personally going to pick up Doom at one point, but Overwatch... no chance in hell.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Maybe I didnt express myself right earlier, but yeah.As long as there is a way to play alone, like a carrer mode that most sport games have, Im fine with a price tag.I mean, whether the game is good enough for you to pay 60 dollars or 10 dollars is a whole other discussion, but I personally believe that every single game should offer some type of single player, be it playing with bots, or having an actual story mode, or having a career mode of some kind.And that it dosent require the internet.

So yeah, if Overwatch has something like that(from the launch), sure it qualifies.Im not trying to make people believe in this opinion of mine, its just my way of thinking.A game is not good or bad because it lacks this feature, it just means that I wont be buying it.It really dosent matter if it makes sense or not.It would be the same situation if someone says that you are crazy because you dont like FPS genre.You simply dont like it.It dosent need a reasoning behind it.

Since we are in this discussion anyway, what do you prefer, multiplayer or single player?If you were to choose a game, one that only has multiplayer and one that only has single-player, but both were of the same quality(have the same metacritic score for example), what would you choose?

ITs 30 bucks for the season pass which is better than some companys but free is better. I think it has some free ones too.
