Wolfenstein 2 Designer Explains Why The Single-Player FPS Is Dying

From GameWatcher: "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is out October 27 and we're very excited, but as huge fans of the single-player story-based FPS, it hasn't escaped our notice that very few of them are being released these days, and most of them are from Bethesda. It didn't seem a long time ago that there were dozens of them, now they're rare. A little while ago we checked in with MachineGames Senior Games Designer Arcade Berg and he told us his opinion on why offline story-focused shooters are drying up."

[2pacalypsenow]

Cant make extra money of single player, multiplayer now has MT.

[ninsigma]

You can though. Tiered pricing as we have seen become a thing I think is a good idea. For those who just want the base game and that's it you have the standard price and those that what the extras can pay more. Unfortunately, as with everything, that can be abused too, where the base version of games could start to become smaller and smaller.

[UltraNova]

Nah...in devs mind SP stands for Single Payment as well as Single Player. So yeah no wonder some of the them (want to) beleive SP is dying in favour of MP (which stands for More payments instead of...you get the point).

Some times things are not that complicated.

[Chaosdreams]

@vegasgamerdawg

I learned a long time ago that those who's opinion are filled with insults and angst, often don't know the facts themselves.

If you really want to use a term such as "snowflake" as an insult, then you might as well stamp "Trump supporter" on your forehead.

We know how, uh, informed, those people are.

:)

[Realms]

@vegasgamerdawg

Yeah tell that to Activision with the new patent designed to force players to use MT. Big corporations do not care if they destroy an industry some people are too young to understand that the video game industry crashed due to lack of quality control this is starting to happen again because companies are forcing MT into games. Essentially double dipping into consumers pockets. The video game industry crashed before because consumers lost faith that companies would put a good product in market, and it seems like more and more big publishers are enamored with the idea that all games should have MT even at the cost of a games design. It's not complicated it's just plain greed.

[abstractel]

So Doom didn't make a lot of money? (sarcasm)

Let's see how well Wolfenstein 2 does, I bet it will do a lot better than the first one.

I've seen "death to [insert genre here]" more times than I can remember. Mobile gaming didn't destroy console gaming, death of triple A games hasn't happened, single player games are still successful and will still exist because the market is dictated by what people want, not what developers/publishers want.

We'll see how Assassin's Creed III, Wolfenstein 2, God of War, Detroit, Far Cry 5, Need for Speed Payback, Super Mario Odyssey, Last of Us 2, etc. do... I bet they'll do very well and make plenty of money.

[sinspirit]

@vegasgamerdawg

Tell us which games aren't making enough money without MT.

Development has gotten easier compared to last generation. Development tools are better, system architecture is better, porting is far easier, and optimization requires far less time. Not to mention there are better and more affordable game engines to chose from for any studio to more easily begin development. On top of the easier development.. The attach rate to consoles has risen again. Games are selling very well whether they use MT's or not.

Try having an actual argument. The studios harping about MT's being necessary make enough money without them, spend huge budgets on studios that develop average or lacking titles with marketing campaigns that are half the cost, and lack the imagination to create unique titles and content but sure can come up with creative ways to make extra money. If these studios die or end up relying on MT's it's not because the industry needs them. It's just the survival of the fittest and their core games aren't holding up anymore.

[Mr_Writer85]

Doesn't the new Modor game have Mt?

[Rachel_Alucard]

Yeah and it's the worst and laziest way of getting people to make multiple payments. The loot box system doesn't work for single player games and they need to create something new designed for that type of game

[yomfweeee]

I would 100% disagree with the Mordor hater. It is 100% the best way to do MT, because they are 100% optional and aren't needed at all to complete the game.

[fiveby9]

Yep Shadow of War has MT's to fleece some people. Their existence alters game balance to a point where the game is less appealing. I played the first game but will avoid the second.

[Cobra951]

Rachel_Alucard, I didn't downvote you, because I like your general sentiments; but I have to disagree that we need anything at all for "people to make multiple payments" in full-priced games. Nothing needs to take the place of loot boxes. They just need to go away.

[Yobo5]

@ Vegas

I woudn't mind paying extra for a game, if it really meant getting a higher quality product. But that's not what its used for, the extra revenue goes to the publisher to satisfy shareholders & pay for marketing. Games are stripped down to upsell, and have on average shorter dev times, with more bugs and less content.
Also, you know it really bodes well for the idea that devs need to start charging $100 + some MT here or there for a complete experience, when GTA5 can make(w/ a single edition at $60) x3 its budget on release(815 M) then go on to be the highest grossing entertainment property with $1B finishing off its first week. And thats without counting Online MT for GTA Online.

http://www.guinnessworldrec...

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Especially with distributers and console makers taking huge cuts of the profit.

[robtion]

That's a shame as it's the only kind of FPS I have any interest in. MP is not for me. Bethesda does put out some of my favourite franchises lately with The Evil Within, Dishonored, and Wolfenstein. Really looking forward to Wolfenstein The New Colossus.

[EatCrow]

Not sure about that.
The first halo had mp and it did not affect the sp aspect of it.
Perfect Dark had MP and it was pretty darn deep with challenges to finish as well.
Conker had MP and it was fun as hell after playing the base game.

I think MP is good for almost any game. But I do not think it is mandatory and it is definitely a place for devs to get creative in terms of modes, challenges, etc.

I do not think MT's have a place in either mp modes or sp modes though. These things are cash grabs. They dont help the design of the game in any way.

[vfl523]

"The first halo had mp and it did not affect the sp aspect of it."
How do you know that? Resources, time, and effort went into the mp side of the game that could've been used on the sp side of the game. Or bungie could've pocketed the money. Again, you don't know, and may never know.

[AcidDvl]

Put Doom into the mix.

[ninsigma]

TBH the market was becoming saturated with FPS games so it's not necessarily a bad thing as long as the ones that are releasing are of high quality. New Wolfenstein looks incredible. Can't wait to play.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

That's the thing I love about this gen, it's so much better balanced and we're not over saturated with shooters like we were last gen. I think we've had some great shooters this gen because there wasn't so many of them this time.

[ninsigma]

Agreed. Last gen was all about open world and shooters. Lots more variety now and it's great!

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Dang

[chris235]

but arent all these mee-too multiplayer shooters dying very quickly after release? it feels like i have to read every week about the next butthurt dev who argues how stupid gamers are to not care for his 25th variation of the same. multiplayer shooters were fun when i was younger. but at some point you realize you meet always the same 3 or 4 boring types of humans in online games. the cheater, the punk, the righteous and the self righteous. at least a proper ai can be programmed to surprise me. humans can't accomplish that due to limited approach. so my time as a gamer is wasted on such experiences.

[PigsR4Eating]

I bought Wolfenstein The New Order on release for 60 USD, I enjoyed it, but in hindsight I wish I had gotten it on sale, as I have 7 hours in it. Unless there is a PVP element, and buying it on release comes with the benefit of full servers I see no reason to buy this or shadow of war on release.

[NotanotherReboot]

Sony relies primarily on SP games as their exclusives, so can't see the future being too good for them

[guyman]

That's bullshit

[generic-user-name]

And yet this generation they have outdone MS in sales completely.

Something is not right with your maths.

[Gman32]

This guy

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Bro it's not healthy to live in a fantasy world

[Nodoze]

Yes it is, and it is tons of fun. That is why we game is it not. ;)

[CorndogBurglar]

I hope this was sarcasm.....

[Liqu1d]

MS relies on no exclusives, that's why their current situation isn't too good for them.

[TheOttomatic91]

Damn that doesn't bode well for the future of SP FPS if one of the main designers of an actual one is saying this.

[SR388]

I still want Geist 2!!!!

[gbsrnctaln]

BS. If anything FPS single player campaigns have been on a major comeback. Wolf, BF1, Titanfall2, COD campaigns etc...

[ShadowWolf712]

I wouldn't really call BF1's "campaign" a proper campaign tbh.

That said, when Titanfall and Battlefront released without one, that backlash was felt and acknowledged.

On the other hand, BF2 and TF2 had campaigns, but alongside an MP mode. I believe he's referring to EXCLUSIVELY SP FPS games.

[CorndogBurglar]

Doom!

[gbsrnctaln]

Yes D00M is awesome!

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'd actually say that the quality of single player campaigns has improved drastically this gen, although BF1 and Titanfall 2 were so short, I wanted more after completing them, multi-player wasn't quite the same experience.

[Cobra951]

BS indeed. The SP-FPS genre "dying" is the position of the interviewer, not the Wolfenstein-2 designer--who explains why things are the way they are now with the big greedy publishers. He's diplomatic, but if you read between the lines, you'll see that he's entirely blaming the suits for the current multiplayer push, not the developers (who still very much want to make SP story-based games, and who will continue to do so whenever possible).

[Gman32]

We shall see in 2 or 3 years from now i love single player games

[Perjoss]

No we shall see 8 to 10 years from now and beyond. Single player FPS games are going nowhere.

[Tsar4ever01]

I said this before and I'm saying it now. #single-player always defeats MP only games. But Publishers don't see it that way and because of the stock holders, in the end they'll have final say on the fate of single-player games, which is a horrible premise. If this where gaming is going to towards the future (online MP & MT) then I'll just will be buying way less games and will come to a point that I'll just quit gaming and find a new hobby. That or if this MP/MT paradigm extends to only "Console Gaming", then I'll just quit consoles entirely and just go full blown PC/Steam gaming.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

It's probably because they can draw out the longevity of multi-player games and people tend to stick with it longer, games like Overwatch are a cash cow and I think everyone wants to emulate that model now when that game was one of few outliers.

[FrostXVenom]

Titanfall 2 a rare fps game that has great SP and MP.

[CorndogBurglar]

Yeah. Its release was a huge shame. Releasing between the two COD and BF powerhouses was suicide. The sad thing is TF2 was better than both of those in my opinion.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I agree Titanfall 2 was the better game, it's so hard to find a match on that game so I have to pretty much wait until the weekend play it alot. I hope this doesn't kill it's chances for a sequel.

[windblowsagain]

@ultranova. I agree.

SP - Single Payment.

MP- Multi Payments.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I got the awesome throwback collectors edition of this preordered and almost paid off can't wait to pick it up next Friday along with my ac origins gold edition steel book

[FPS_D3TH]

Metro series is all I need. The rest are neat ;) used to care about half life and stalker series. There are more interesting games to play than fps after fps though.

[victorMaje]

Though the MTs model is definitely affecting the genre, SP FPS is not dying nor will it ever.
1 dev makes a great unforgettable game that sells a lot (because of quality), this builds hype for the genre, other devs follow with their own take, even at the cost of sacrificing quality.
At some point gamers get tired of the genre because of quantity over quality, genre-sales drop ensues, people start saying said genre is on the way out.
It’s just a matter of having the right people making the right game with the right SP story then hype goes back up, rinse & repeat.
Let’s see what Titanfall 3 (hopefully) SP will have to say about that :)

[Relientk77]

Haven't seen a single, single player shooter this generation that can touch Wolfenstein The New Order or The Old Blood. They're the best and MachineGuns is an amazing developer. Really excited for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.

[welly300]

Wolfenstein had one of the best mp games back on pc

[EmperorDalek]

I hope Wolfenstein II sells well, but this is probably the worst time to release it.

[mochachino]

Well, Wolfenstein TNO is one of my favourite games this gen and gets my number one pick for most satisfying gunplay in a FPS game.

We should also remember that a number of MP only games are failing too (Law Breakers, Battleborne). I will definitely buy Wolfenstein 2, I've played the previous one at least 3 times.

[PlayableGamez-]

Multiplayer games are getting over saturated and the MT/DLC bullcrap isn't helping.
This war on SP games by these big gaming corporation are just turning the gaming market into the mobile game market and we all seen how that Market turned out.
The gaming market is probably on it's way to crash and burn if something isn't done.
It seems like indie devs are going to be the saving grace of the video game industry.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Lootboxes, omg, f**k the lootboxes (Star Wars Battlefront 2 is going to be a good example).

[Razzer]

The $60 per game price point is no longer feasible. Which is why I don’t bitch very much about MT. Let the devs subsidize SP with unobtrusive MT and just enjoy the games.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

There's always budget titles, not every game has to be AAA or try to be AAA.

[CrimsonWing69]

I'm really scared to see what the next-gen of gaming will be like with this push towards Games as a Service and the fact that single player games are now no longer profitable unless they can squeeze in Microtransactions and Loot Boxes.

The fact that EA even canceled the "Uncharted" Star Wars game because of the changes in the landscape of gaming has me concerned for this hobby.

'Member when games were, oh I dunno, like just the game without the push for additional content? Like you paid $50 and got the game as it is and there were tons of single player games with a whole bunch of unique titles? Yea I'm talking about gaming up to the PS2 era.

Oh yea I 'member!

Now, look at what we have! A bunch of the same kind of games, everything has to be open-world or it gets poo poo'd on, less risks are being taken, I get just as much freaking "HD Remasters" of games from last gen (cuz you know, when I jump into next-gen I really just want to play games from last-gen) as I do "original" titles, games are no longer you pay one price for the whole game...

Like the hobby is decaying and evolving into some weird unrecognizable form that these publishers want to suck the buck out of as many consumers as they can for as long as they can. I mean we don't even get the same amount of content we used to with games, look at Battlefront or the recent Gran Turismo. The games we do don't make enough money to be considered profitable.

We'll see what next-gen brings but I think this might be the end of a hobby I grew up with and have cherished.

[Cobra951]

They can be profitable. They just can't be as wildly profitable as the big publishers demand. Games shouldn't need to rake in half a billion dollars apiece to be considered successful.

I do share your fears. Next generation of console hardware may serve big business more than it serves gamers. Let's hope not. Sony held the line in our favor with the PS4, and prevented Microsoft from taking all control away from gamers this time around. But Sony is a big business too. If they think they'll make more profits next time with an always-online console and a cash-milking scheme, who knows?

[Vizigoth04]

I think this is the time where digital purchase is good for developers even though consumers want a physical device. I'm personally content with purchasing anything in the online store and downloading it to my external hard drive. No discs to scratch. No cabinet space to take up. I'm a sucker for physical and box art. But if it means devs getting their money I think we would have more games purchased and maybe less online playing fees.

[Psychotica]

I couldn't care less about single player with a story, I want offline multiplayer modes vs bots where I can set a skill level and play.

[bluefox755]

I'm probably in the minority, but FPS games have always been kind of boring to me, single player or otherwise. Always felt like the gameplay was too repetitive. Can probably count on one hand the number of FPS games I've enjoyed over the years. Unreal Tournament and Goldeneye are the only 2 springing to mind, in fact.

[agent4532]

As far as multiplayer is concerned, its major drawback is lack of a good story.

[Rambokind]

It's dying because you have too many 30 year old weekend warriors who want to prove themselves to 14 year old kids playing online with them. Multiplayer games are popular because too many people have little to no meaning in their lives.

[theXtReMe1]

Totally overblown nonissue. 90% of every FPS released has single player. COD, Battlefield, DOOM, Halo, Killzone, Wolfenstein, Bulletstorm, Homefront, Sniper 3, Destiny 1&2, Deus eX, Titanfall 2, Etc...

Its not that single player has gone anywhere, its multiplayers popularity that has overshadowed it. Almost every FPS is released with some sort of single player component. If they dont, gamers bitch and they add it in the next game. Titanfall and Battlefront are perfect examples.

Doing away with single player means doing away with gaming, as far as Im concerned. It will never happen because there are still too many people who enjoy getting enveloped in a great story. The same way books are still relevant in the digital age. People always like downtime alone.

[BinaryMind]

If anything, it's the single-player, non-shooter that's dying.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

nah, there're making a comeback this gen, open-world games is the in-thing now, even games that would benefit from not having it tend to have it thrown in now.

[Nodoze]

When games stop having stories, I will stop gaming. Pew pew dood bro shooters get stale VERY fast.

The bottom line here, is buy and support these types of games. Money is the fuel for future fun.

[Moonman]

Please don't. Not before my Metroid Prime 4. :p

[jacksmith56]

i think borderlands has shown a good way of creating a huge fps single player , with ability to take it on as a co op
, maybe borderlands 3 gives us the ability to switch characters in real time steal a page from agents of mayhem that would be nice

[Cobra951]

And that same studio (Gearbox) also showed how to blow their own success by getting too greedy with their once-excellent approach, and going online-only with Battleborn.

[NeoGamer232]

I love all the new Wolfenstein games...

I play them religiously as they come out. Day One purchases to support the great work they are doing there.

[Petebloodyonion]

Excellent article with a straightforward explanation of this problem.
The sad part is that he's right, I for one, will usually wait for a single player game's price to come down because the experience will not change for me (and usually there will be a gold edition with all DLC) but will often buy a multiplayer day 1 to be on equal footing with others.

[nommers]

Probably because most FPS single player modes aren't even close to Half Life or Metroid Prime levels of quality game design.

[sprinterboy]

If single player ever dies my gaming hobby of 35yrs ends

[Cobra951]

Completely sympathize. I've been at it for a long time too. I doubt we'll lose what we love about gaming, however. It just may become a bit more sparse. I have enough of a backlog to see me through dry spells.

[opinionated]

Welcome to the business side of your hobby. A cutthroat gold rush. It might be new to you but it’s not new to the gaming industry. It’s not fuel, electricity, or water it’s entertainment with an ever changing economy. If you don’t adapt you fail. Saying stuff like “Greedy bastards!” not only shows your lack of knowledge about what keeps these studios in business, it also shows a lack of understanding of why these companies were started in the first place.

When somebody like ken Levine breaks away from the big publisher to start his own studio we must champion these smaller scale developers who really do give a shit about game design. Blow up hennig’s twitter now and plead with her to join a decent sized independent studio and get free reign to do what she does. It’s the only way. The publicly shared companies like EA or Activision don’t care about your loyalty, they don’t care about their developers, all they care about is the bottom line and they don’t hide their motives. Never have.

It’s not greedy or heartless, its not insidious or complex, it’s business. They make shit to make more money. Developers care about fans but their boss couldn’t give a crap about you. Devs get massive amounts of money for development costs to make products that make the publisher more money. Nothing more, nothing less. The only way to fix it is getting studios like visceral from under the thumb of a publisher. Support their independence and you will get your loot box free games.

[Cobra951]

Good post, thanks. You hit the nail on the head with "publicly shared". Publicly held corporations trigger the fatal flaw in unbridled capitalism: the fallacy of infinite growth. In order to have an acceptable return on investment for shareholders, a corporation can't simply be profitable; it needs to grow its profits every year. If it stops growing, returns will flatten, and shareholders will bail out to invest their money elsewhere, further harming the value of the corporation. So the drive for infinite growth is built into the system. Infinite growth in a finite world, of course, is impossible; but they will try to nevertheless. Revenue must grow by any means necessary. We're seeing what that means in the underhanded shenanigans getting dumped into full-priced games routinely now.

[opinionated]

Infinite growth is not possible but massive growth is possible. We have not hit the limit yet and when the markets do hit the limit they will shift to something else. For example, when everyone finally has a land line someone will invent the cellphone and decimate that market. Growth is not only about dollars, it’s about growing technologies and such that expands and shifts markets. They will do anything to stay one step ahead of competition.

The fact about capitalism is that when one market takes off another has to be sacrificed. It’s not infinite it’s just ever changing. That’s the fundamental flaw with socialism. Governments subsidize obsolete programs while the rest of the world progresses. Unfortunately businesses will have to adapt or become history to make this happen.

Activision grew their business by 3.6 billion on MTs alone, more than doubled it from the year before. I don’t think they expect infinite growth but can you blame them for trying to make patents to expand? I don’t. That’s the point of the business. It’s not underhanded or insidious though, I much prefer these companies than the people with political agendas. It’s easy to see what a corporation wants, they are predictable. They want your money. It’s harder when these companies start dabling in politics. They don’t want your money, they trash their consumers, it’s just weird. The only people who would act like that are people that are subsidized by the state. Somewhere down the line they are getting paid by higher ups to tank their own business.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

The thing is, people want good single player campaigns, Titanfall 2 is an example of great single player despite being short.

[harv052]

I don't play MP games, I just don't see the point in it....get kills, get on leaderboards......then what? I don't disagree with people who play them, to each is own...But my greatest memories from playing video games from the past 30 years have all been from SP games, great stories, great characters, great music and atmosphere, none of which I have ever seen in a MP game. If you want my opinion, it is strictly there to make more money. Some devs have shown times and times again that if you put out a great SP product, people will buy it and you will make tons of money w/o the need of tacked on MP or microtransactions.

[opinionated]

It’s possible but it’s tough. It’s not easy money like MTs. People call loot boxes gambling but do you want to know what real gambling is? Dumping 50 million into game development and advertising for a game that might flop. That 50 million and years of man hours could be a complete waste.

It’s the Wild West and who knows what games will catch on. I support platinum games’ Independence but they said recently that Nier saved their ass. If that didn’t take off like it did who knows where they would be as a developer. It’s not an easy game to play and it’s even harder on your own. These guys use MTs as an insurance policy.

[Petebloodyonion]

Great reply man!
you nailed it perfectly.

[SameOldx2]

In other words it's time to go digital. Get rid of the disk.

[JokerBoy422]

The industry didnt learn anything from E.T. Oh well, ive got enough games to tide me over for the next gaming industry collapse.

[optimus]

I think with the resurgence Nintendo is having and their single player games selling well with stellar reviews, we may be seeing a turnaround for single player campaigns.

[Cobra951]

Good point that no one else has brought up here yet. As long as there are alternatives, no one is going to dictate to us what kind of games we get to play. It was Zelda BotW that sold so many Switch systems, and Mario Odyssey will compound those shortly. These are both traditional offline SP games. As long as somebody is making them, we're good.

[optimus]

Yeah, no ntendo once again is ahead of the big 2 in sales this month without a solid online infrastructure. Not to mention that they are enticing developers to bring more mature games to the switch. Doom for instance is over a year old and people are waiting for it with anticipation...and once metroid hits, developers will begin to put more time and effort into their single player campaigns in order to compete...or so I'm hoping.

[zb1ftw777]

Good.

Now let the multiplayer die too.

Sick of fps.

[TheRacingX]

the used games market is the cause of all this.... games cost money to make , millions of dollars to make.....every time you buy a used game from gamestop etc, the only one who makes money is gamestop.......the developer that worked 3-5 yrs on the game gets nothing from that sale, the publisher that funded and produced that game gets $0 for every used copy sold and resold.... thats revenue lost that the publisher can put toward a sequel or a project from another developer that is trying to bring a niche game to gamers....publishers have to recoup their investment...this is still a BUSINESS..... so now you have DLC on a disc behind a paywall, loot boxes, micro transactions, $20 DLC map packs, gaming is a hobby and hobbies cost money, I dont understand the whining and complaining from gamers, most understand and comprehend the cost and effort to make a full fledged title, and the salaries programmers, artists, composers, producers make to do it, how are those salaries going to get paid if the publishers dont make money from the sale of their product?

[Cobra951]

No, the search for more money is the cause of all this. Let's keep the blame squarely where it lies. Games don't need to cost $100 million to make. If I sell my car, Ford doesn't get a penny out of it either. So what?

[TheRacingX]

thats a ridiculous comparison...when FORD sells "A" car, it sells the car at a price where it gets the cost of the parts , labor, and a some profit....once its sold they made their money, they actually want you to get rid of it and buy another so they can keep profiting....Leasing is huge for that reason. A game publisher who paid $20 million for a title needs to sell "X" amount of copies to break even on the initial investment and "X" more to start making a profit. So if they need to sell 2 million copies to break even, sell an inital 1.5 million new and 500K of those are traded and resold, the publisher lost its break even mark, has now lost money on the title, the publisher tells the developer the game was a flop and will not sign a sequel, the dev is out , the publisher is out all because someone wanted to save $5 at gamestop.....it is a business and a search for money as you put it....gamers cry for state of the art AAAA titles and that costs money, alot of money.....when you buy a used game you just helped the publisher make a case to cancel the next game from that developer and look for the next way to add more MT, DLC, on disc pay content.....because shareholders dont want to own stock in companies that lose money....

[darefix83]

Personally I am only buying multiplayer games now a day because they have more replayability... And for single player games I will go for openworld games, and that only because they have more replayability, at leat in my toughts... Skyrim and Fallout was so long to past that I didnt finish one of them, because of really huge story and I wish to play them again after unlocking them achievements and have extra (likes their modding fonctions...).

I think that games now a day in Canada are so expensive that we buy (people like me) only multiplayers games and waiting for the ones with singleplayer to drop their prices because of of the lack of replayability.

Wolfestein is a really great games, I wish I had the money to buy all games, but still that you did a double pack of the two last two Wolfenstein and I didnt really put my money on them because the solo gameplay was looking really repetitive and has no openworl map.

The last two games I have played in that category was Metro double pack and it was very boring, out of date and Wolfenstein looking the same gameplay, Wolfenstein are looking better than Metro... But for me playing a campaign that goes in a straight line story are boring not really enjoyable...

So I will rather buy a game that got a single player with a shitty multiplayer other than just a boring solo player one... But the multiplayers are dying so quick on games that have shitty ones, than its why I dont really buy them now a day.
