Single Mode is Better Than MMOs?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dimmukane:
I mean, I like sp games a lot more than MMO's, but yeah, he hasn't given a single good reason why they're better.  I mean, this is about as shitty as an editorial can get.

Maybe I can try, at least as far as it applies to me.  For me to really enjoy a game, I have to be fully invested in the world that exists in that game, or absolutely engrossed by the gameplay offered.    I can't be invested in the worlds of MMOs; because while they are expansive and detailed, they go on without me and often have other players doing things which remind me of the outside world.  And I have yet to find an MMO where the gameplay is satisfying enough to keep me interested for more than a month.  I also don't generally play any multiplayer games of any kind unless I can play them with someone I know.  I own two copies of Left 4 Dead, but I rarely play it.  It's still one of my favorites, I just don't play it very often because somehow most of my friends didn't buy it.

A Shoggoth on the Roof:
I think the biggest reason this article is a piece of shit is that it's just a blatant one-sided argument that turns into worshipping single-player games around when he says "RPG games will teach you life philosophy..." Actually it starts before that but I couldn't pass up using that quote. He's turning fun, irreverent games into some sort of holy grail that greatly benefits the mind, soul, and generally improves your life skills even if you have no human contact while playing them.

MrBlu:
I play MMOs and I play Single Player games.

Y'know what? I like good games.

kemon:
to be honest, it's more than likely the guy who wrote that article is getting paid by at least one of those game makers.   the only other thing could be that it's entirely satirical.   getting down to the last few reasons, i have a hard time believing that anyone could really say those things with a straight face.

A Wet Helmet:
  I can't believe any web site that clearly depends on ad revenue would actually publish that crap.  I stopped reading the article as soon as I hit "stingy jew".
