OnlySP: Welcome back to another Top 5 Tuesday.
Let’s be honest; there have been some really great single player games that have come out over the years. Here at OnlySP, we embrace the essence of the single player experience. Single player games have a deep story and game play experience, and even co-op stories can be great. I will admit, more often than not single player games have an inherit weakness of lack of replayability in the fact that once you’ve played through the single player mode, there usual isn’t much to call solo players back to the game. Multiplayer has always been a great inclusion in games to increase the replayability and warrant gamers picking up the game a second or third time after the initial playthrough. However, some games just fall short when it comes to multiplayer or include such disappointingly dull multiplayer that it shouldn’t have been included in the first place. Developers tend to “tack on” a multiplayer experience to a game in order to get gamers playing their game longer and not returning it after they have completed it. I love multiplayer games as much as I love single player games, but including a multiplayer mode onto a game with a great single player experience just to have multiplayer is not what developers should be doing. Below is my Top 5 list of games that did not need multiplayer.
EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.
Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.
No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"
I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.
Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.
When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.
But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.
Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?
Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."
Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection
thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
