Game series such as Halo, Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Gears of War did not find success within their single-player campaigns. In fact, it's arguable that many titles like these have forgone focus on their single player elements (which for these was many times referred to as mediocre at best) in lieu of more social, multiplayer ones.
However, despite this seemingly looming presence of multiplayer over the world of video games, many gamers still would consider themselves “single-player gamers”. So, with multiplayer gaming holding strong as flavor of the week... or past few years... some are beginning to wonder about the outlook for single player video games and whether or not many of our favorite games or game series will only be available via multiplayer in the near future? To put things simply- Is single player gaming a dying “trend”?
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
No, look at the GOTY contenders. All SP games if you ask me.
no...it will never!!!!!!!
Is this article attempting to defie the entire universe that is gaming? SHAME ON YOU SHAME!
I see it as online gaming is still in its new baby stage for consoles. I admit I do look for online modes when purchasing a game just so I can enjoy a good time with my friends. Instead of wasting gas drivin to there house lol. But I do like my classic single player games like God of War, and at one time Uncharted. Batman was a good single player game. I'm one of those who thinks Skyrim shouldve had a co-op. only cuz I'm not a rpg gamer and would need one of my rpg gamer friends to help me along my way. I don't think it would of dumb down the game. Look at Demons Souls that game was super hard even playing with a friend lol.
I can do without online play. It's completely optional for me, as a gamer. I enjoy the hell out of myself, true, but it's just a bonus.
If there were no longer games with any singleplayer, I'd probably stop gaming. I want to be able to play on my own, when and if my internet is down, or without relying on the suspect motives of strangers when my friends aren't online.
