Top 5 Best Multiplayer Games Ever… And it’s Not What You’d Think

When a modern gamer thinks of the best multiplayer games they have ever played many might think big. Games like Destiny, Rainbow Six Siege and Grand Theft Auto V have taken multiplayer to scales larger than one could have ever imagined. Multiplayer games have taken the center stage in modern gaming. With that being said, the best multiplayer games out there don’t have to be colossal l to be impressive.

I am not a fan for games like Destiny where multiplayer is just forced at you. My favorite multiplayer in modern gaming is defiantly Gears of War. I like how leveling up doesn't make you better than someone who just started playing. I could never wrap my mind around COD doing that.

The issue isn't that "games like destiny" have forced multiplayer. Battlefield was one of the biggest shooters on PC and it never even had a single player until Bad Company. BF2 is still regarded by BF fans as the best iteration of Battlefield and the BF4 community praises DICE LA for changes to try to make the game a little more like BF2.

However, the issue with multiplayer games stem from a lack of content. Destiny had a fleshed out lore and story ready for the game. However, given the fact that they had a deadline to meet, they had to cut corners, and it feels like they didn't want to remove their efforts from gameplay, so the story had to go. As for "forced multiplayer" on Destiny, it doesn't feel that way at all. Yeah, most of the focus is on multiplayer PvE and PvP but that's because Destiny is supposed to follow an MMORPG-type format while still being a FPS.

I enjoy playing multiplayer games where anything can happen and it can be chaotic yet fun playing with others.

1. Battlefield (series)
2. Smash Bros. 4
3. Grand Theft Auto V

Wow not a single game from the cover is even mentioned? How Is COD not on there? basically any FPS multiplayer game today has taken something from COD.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name47d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno47d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno47d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure46d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX66d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
