Games that should never have had multiplayer

the godfather 2 uncharted 2 and red dead

BioShock 2 and Uncharted 2 are the first that spring to mind.

Uncharted 2? Really? It probably has the best third person shooter multiplayer of the current gen, and it obviously did not detract any dev attention from the Single Player campaign.

I could understand it if the single player campaign felt lacking because of it, but it certainly does not.

Obviously, the single player in Uncharted 2 wasn't lacking any brilliance. But, it seemed unnecessary to put online multiplayer in the game. It's as if they just threw it in to see if it would help sell more copies because Halo/CoD/and the like sell so well (and yes, I know that reasoning is getting old).

Don't get me wrong, though. I've played the Uncharted 2 multiplayer and it wasn't bad. It was just unnecessary, in my opinion.

Chasm the Rift, the single player was, idk, the bastard love child of TimeSplitters and Doom.... in THREEEEE DEEEEEEE!!!!

the online multiplayer was added in an update patch, and it was as baaaad as you can probably guess (yeah, multiplayer was never really planned in the original release)

I watched someone else play guitar hero 3 online and frankly, it looked craptacular

as for MW2, I still dont know why the hell does it causes so much hate, of course it's not CoD4, that game almost made a separate FPS genre, but it is not a bad game at all

Mw2 causes rage because of the community. every kill you make is luck, cheating or hacking.
for every primary weapon, equipment, secundairy weapon perk or even killstreak reward, you get called a fag.and you can't play the way you are supposed to play it anymore. and some weapon kits break the game. you can get infinite grenades, ammo and the whole game has no balance whatsoever. the only way to have fun is offline,with friends. but you can't get any new stuff then.

Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 5. And if they mess Dead Space 2 up with that... I won't be a happy bunny.

Its like we're thinking the same thing. Uncharted 2 could definitely get by without multiplayer but its actually a good addition to the game.

Ratchet and Clank 3. It felt unfinished, and the single player suffered for it
