hooooooooooooooooooooooooooold on a second there
says who?..what games?
you can't just put a big old "standard" to apply to all games
games are meant to be played with freinds
games are meant to be played online 24/7
games are meant to be played in a room lit only by neon signs
games are meant to be played while hopped up on 10cans on energy drink and cocaine
games are meant to be played with your dog on your lap trained to be in charge of the space bar..
[quote/]If you don't like it, then there are shitloads of games where your only option is to play all alone.
bullshit...if a game someone likes is changed for the worse then its unfortunate but "play something else" isn't an argument, its just a dumb thing to say
now will co-op ruin deadspace? that remains to be seen...for me only because (as I just posted) I don't want a "youre doing it wrong on your own" scenario[/quote]
I thought it was pretty clear that it was my personal opinion when I started it all with "In this case, I am so happy EA exist". I enjoy great single player experiences but I enjoy playing with friends even more. Even SP games can be awesome fun in co-op just by throwing an extra player in there that can't start story, can't interact (much), etc.
Like in Fable 3 for example. The "visiting" player can't do much at all besides fighting and stuff. But that's fine, because it's still awesomely fun when you play as the "visitor" as long as you're playing with a friend.
Which is why co-op would have made Dead Space 1 & 2 even better (again, this is a personal opinion and does not reflect gamers as a whole), because when I was done playing my story, I wanted to team up with a friend. But no. Dead Space 2 even had multiplayer, but still no co-op.
Same goes for Mass Effect series, especially the third. After I completed the game I wanted a friend (or more) to take control of the people always being in the game with me. I would even join if I couldn't level up my character myself as my friend would level it up the way I wanted to anyway.
I honestly can't think of a SINGLE game that wouldn't be more fun with at least one friend. There are a couple of games which I want to experience alone - first - then play it with a friend.
And because of that, because in my opinion, ALL games are fun in co-op, which is why I said I think games should be played with friends.
I want to play all those "super awesome single player games which would suck if they added multiplayer" with friends. I want to play the Elder Scroll series with friends. I want to play The Witcher series with friends. I want to play Mass Effect, Assassins Creed and all the other SP-only games with friends. Because it would add so much to the game, especially replayabilty after you've completed it once by yourself already.
Anyway, "play something else" is an argument and a great one too. If you don't like [insert game here] then play something else. It's as easy as that. I do that with a lot of games.
