i do find it a shame that there is so much put into the online aspect. what about people that don't like playing online multiplayer? i don't mind, but there does seem to be a lack in the single player side. and why are there so few games with local multiplayer. i happen to like playing games with my friends when they're sat next to me. its frustrating that i can't on most games due to the overwhelming presence of online multiplayer and lack of local.
