What Game Are You Currently Playing?

I was afraid of it being to multiplayer based. Tonight I may play GTA.

It's very much multiplayer-based.

Well whatever happened to good old fashioned campaign? Ever since MW3 COD campaigns have sucked. It's like they don't try anymore.

I liked the Black Ops campaigns. I haven't played Ghosts. Lots of shooters focus on multiplayer because more people play it for an extended period of time and they can sell map packs and stuff. There's a trend now where perfectly fine singleplayer games like the Last of Us, Tomb Raider 2013, Bioshock 2, mass effect 3, etc have what seems like tacked on multiplayer.

There are tons and tons of good campaigns still being made. FPS games are really the only ones lately that don't have really decent stories to them. But that's because people usually play FPS games -for- multiplayer.

Online socialisation is crazy-important these days, so of course most games now are going to have some sort of multiplayer added on to it. I don't really have a problem with it. In the end, it's just a bonus option. If I don't like it, I won't use it. I'll play singleplayer (or even split screen) exclusively, just like I did with games way back before multiplayer was even in existence.

My only real issue with multiplayer is when an obviously singleplayer-focused game adds on a multiplayer experience, and the campaign gets much less focus on it, and turns out way worse than it would have been. An example would be like if, say, 'The Last of Us' had a worse campaign because they added in the multiplayer aspect. Luckily it didn't happen, but that would have hugely annoyed me - Resources get split up too much that the campaign doesn't get as much attention as it would have, to the point that it turns to crap.

What's frustrating me is everything requires internet these days. If your game is glitchy you need to download an update. If you want a cool add on pack you need to download it. Then there are the games like SimCity (2013) where internet is necessary for the game to even play. It just makes me so angry.

@OP - I'm currently in the middle of playing 3DS.

Cool cool. I'm gonna play Chess.

This is where I have a problem too.

On one hand I agree with you, because it seems like developers are more prone to release games with more bugs than in past generations since they can release a patch weeks or months down the line easily. But on the other hand it's 2014 and I'd say that at least in developed countries most people have some kind of broadband internet (might be wrong, too lazy to Google) so downloading things isn't really a problem anymore and it was just the natural evolution of the industry.

I would much prefer internet being used for everything than not. It helps technology advance. I won't lie - I do get annoyed when games 'force' you to have an always online connecting, like SimCity did, but in the end, it's just pushing for advancement. It isn't always convenient, but it'll quicken the pace at which technology gets better, and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

It's extremely frustrating though.

If you're one of the few who don't have fast internet, yeah. If not, then not really.

Why can't internet reach all of the country? Seriously the technology is available.

Must not be profitable enough.

Curse you stupid greed.

It's not necessarily greed. It's basic economics. Companies are created to make money.
Why invest in something if it's not going to give a profit?

It doesn't turn into greed until you turn into a selfish a-hole in order to obtain something.

People would pay a ton of money to get Netflix and other internet services out here. There was even a petition.

ahahahaa i am current playing diablo 2 expansion any one still playing this game ? ^_^

Never played it.

I've been playing the same game a lot recently.This is because in it, I discovered a big glitch that no one else has found yet (or at least no one has announced it). Lately I've been connecting with other players I know and showing them the glitch.

-It's up on SuperCheats-
