Multiplayer: A Cancerous Growth, Indeed

Chris "The Bearded Gamer" Arnone: "A tirade about multiplayer added to games that shouldn't have it like Spec Ops: The Line, BioShock 2, and Dead Space 2."

I play a ton of multiplayer/ online gaming.

Don't use a mic and mute people.

Multiplayer = replay value

CynicalKelly4265d ago

I am torn on this. While on one side, I don't understand the need to put horrible attempts at multiplayer in almost all video games, I am also seeing how rare it is to find a good single player game that I can replay.

I just bought prototype 2 and Darksiders 2, it's a good example of money wasted. A weekend.. £80.. I don't think that is right at all. I will never touch them again.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

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.

XiNatsuDragnel34d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel33d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia34d ago

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.

MeteorPanda34d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long34d ago

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.

Tacoboto34d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long33d ago

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.

Kornholic33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

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?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

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."

Aaroncls754d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado54d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta54d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B54d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga82d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics82d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend82d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long83d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons83d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor82d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5282d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60282d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor82d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
