Quote from Top 10 Reasons Why Single Mode is Better Than MMOs


--- Quote ---Reason 1: Engaging Storyline
Without doubt, a solid storyline is definitely the main selling point of a single-player game (mainly single-player RPG games). Most single-player games feature intact world view, gripping stories and intriguing plots, which however are unavailable in online games. Everyone loves games with depth. But with plot twists after plot twists, their storyline has gone so far to make the gameplay at the boring end of the spectrum. That's how come the dev team behind Online version of some series has being blasted by huge fans of its stand alone versioin.

Reason 2: Dazzling motion graphics and stunning visual effects
Many of you will throw a fit once a game can't run smoothly on your computer. Even though the gameplay sucks and the plot makes you want to cry, you will still get hooked to this game. For what? Here is the answer: for its dazzaling graphics and stunning visual effects. Yes, you are a geek who cares nothing but awsome graphics. Games will be fun enough only if they have super cool visual effects.

Reason 3: Freedom
How much better would it be to do whatever you want while you are playing a game?

Do you guys play Single Mode more?

The two best games I've played in the past five years were Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 4. The former has, effectively, about as much story as the original Mario Bros, the latter has one of the worst stories ever committed to paper.

If I want a good story, I'll read a book. Video games are for fun gameplay.

Okay, as someone who doesn't play any MMOs (used to play WoW but gave it up at level 50something) and very much appreciates a great single-player game, I have to say that article is absolute trash.

The author's English is atrocious, which makes his already flimsy arguments even less convincing. I could go through every point explaining how it's terrible, but I don't have the energy.

snalin:
I play more single player because I suck at multi. Good days are the ones where my kills is close to my number of deaths. You should see my efforts at TF2 - I've been seen to get an über, charge into all of the enemy troops packed in a cluster, and get one kill.

Yeah, I'll stick to single player at easy, if you don't mind. That's not frustrating.

Reason #7 is priceless. I love Baldur's Gate but I'm pretty sure it never nourished my soul.

I've learned from video games, but it's mostly trivial stuff like the fact that a pavise is a type of shield. Oddly enough, I think I learned more by playing primitive old MUDs and MUSHs than I ever learned in single player games, since there was other people playing to interact with and oftentimes you could ask staff about why they designed things the way they did directly or chat about coding into the wee hours of the morning. It's also the first place I ever consistently communicated with people from outside the US.


Oh, yeah, and this one:

I'm considering using that as my sig.
