Developer: The Bosses Mandated Stranglehold's Unnecessary Multiplayer Mode

Kotaku writes: "Why do some games have multiplayer? Because the executives demand it, even if the developers don't want it. As explained in a recent account of goings on at Midway."

Stranglehold was a great game, even the multiplayer was great if you were able to get a full house. Nothing beats a kitchen brawl with 3-4 other people only to have the weakest guy dive out of a window at the last second, pick up the shotgun underneath it and just blast away at the guy running past him. Good times! :)

thedisagreefairy5290d ago

games like ratchet and clank get slammed in the reviews for not having it.

then there are all the ppl who live with the philosophy "multiplayer=buy, no multiplayer=rent"

its retarded but thats how it goes

Ran like sh*t on PS3. Never bought it...:(

Elven65290d ago

The Hard Boiled Blu Ray on the PS3 was a great enough reason to justify a purchase from a few PS3 owners I know, infact, some bought the PS3 LE version of the 360 for just that!

Urgh this infuriates me. I'm no fan of "kinda cool" multiplyer add ons. A few nights of semi-laggy light online fun does not compare to an extra 3-4 hours of highly polished single player.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai1615d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
