I don't understand why he is putting people in different camps. Sure there are people that only want to play the game for its singleplayer and there are people who are only interested in playing the multiplayer, but what about the people who like to play both?
Usually I'm more of a singleplayer guy but I also like to play some multiplayer from time to time. When I buy a new game, I play the singleplayer first (I even did this with Battlefield 4) and after I played through the singleplayer, I will start playing the multiplayer (when there is one).
Far Cry 2 is a perfect example, I played through the campaign twice and I spent a lot of time playing in multiplayer (it still is one of my favourite games). I wanted to do the same thing with Far Cry 3 but I only played through the singleplayer once (it wasn't as immersive as Far Cry 2 + the setting was not as interesting) and the multiplayer...... well....... I prefer not to talk about that one ever again......
I've just completed FC3 SP on Master Difficulty, like yesterday. It was pretty fun going back after a year or so to re-do the story. If only there was more DLC SP missions etc that had followed the main story I would have bought them. But yes, once you've done the story a few times, the MP /co-op is what you are left with.Originally Posted by tominatorx2010 Go to original post
He has a point, look at the crappy COD. The entire "single player" part of the game is so short, it's nothing but a training phase for the "real" game, multiplayer.
I don't care to compete against players, even if they are "friends getting together for fun", there are far better ways to interact with people.
I want the game to be "thick" enough (enough substance) that I can plan on weeks of entertainment in a couple hour slices, and be edgy enough that I save, walk away and plan my strategy to beat the GAME.
Sad to see no one (that I saw) mentioned the save system. I run a PC, I want to be able to save like a PC, FC2 was perfect in that regard, but of course they killed it because it was too much work to add a real save system to what is, sadly, a console port. I wish they'd reverse the development, build for PC then add console restrictions as an after build exercise.
I have zero interest in multiplayer, and if the layout and gameplay for single player is restricted in any way (lack of creativity, depth of immersion) then the wrong choice was made in my opinion, just make two entirely separate games, and give the multiplayer folks their training element like COD does.
No he does not have a point. People play their games in different ways. Who are you to decide how someone should play their game? Honestly Ubisoft have set themselves up PERFECTLY but refuse to take advantage of it. All they have to do MP wise is build the editor and make decent net code. Then they can give us map makers a month or so of early access and we'll make sure the game launches with plenty of maps for release. They don't have to worry about testing and building maps at all. That way they could put a lot more effort into SP.
Well said Far_Cry2_Fan. You have summed up my position exactly. MP is fine (and of no interest to me), but if Ubisoft is going to keep my money, they need to produce an engaging, story-based SP game. Which I think they have done, but we will see in November.Originally Posted by Far_Cry2_Fan Go to original post
And a non-console-based save system for PC users would be good too.
Another voice of reason I've tried to convey for a number of years. Why not make a double disc set, one for MP, and another for SP? I was very disappointed when FC3 came out - there was nothing immersive or intelligent about it like FC2 was. It was arcady and cartoonish - the kind of flashy bling people seem to want now, with no self-planning or thought, other than run and gun while having your hand held. I still play FC2, differently each time - single player only, and still get an anxious adrenaline rush plotting my moves, using the environment as my weapon of stealth ( yes, it's there if you could figure it out) immersively sinking my head into the game. No one wants realism anymore - all they want is POINTS, and the lowest common denominator is easy to make and sell, instead of intelligence and planning. I'm not holding my breath on FC4 - I'll wait and see if it's not FC3.5. I long for FC2 - type of realism that Clint Hocking was good for.Originally Posted by Far_Cry2_Fan Go to original post
You sir are great! Why do people want every game to be MP? Some are storyline based and built for SP only! FC series is about SP & MP in it is just a bonus! I want a mind blowing SP experience I think UBI's should create 2 different Farcry's from FC5, SP for us and MP for others. Cuz I really don't care about MP & especially conhole gamers, who just press the button when it displays press the button to jump now!!! DUMB ***S!!!Originally Posted by DAS_VIDEO Go to original post![]()
