Because that's more work than it should be.. don't want to play multiplayer, then don't play it... but the vast majority of people that buy the game will be playing MP, the devs shouldn't and wont go out of the way for such a minuscule amount of people..

Curious, then. What about those 3 million+ people who pirate games that don't have a functional multiplayer? They cry about losing money because of 'so many pirated copies', but won't give those who download an alternative.
[Off-topic] drnecropolis:
I speak from the console standpoint.. not the PC side.. there are not 3 million people pirating halo on xbox.. and if there was, they pale in comparison so the 11.5 million that bought it..

And the reason the ripped it from the internet wasn't only because they didn't want the multiplayer.. that's insane..

Hell, you could play on open Battle.net back in the day with ripped copies..

But as above.. if there was 3m ripped copies of Halo 3, you are still a massive minority of the other almost 12 million sold..

And people that download games illegally are the ones screwing gamers.. not the industry..

NFS

My favourite NFS game was the Most Wanted. Also the NFS Porsche 2000 (or Porsche challenger 2000) was a very good improvement.
[Off-topic] scoffyburito:
Hard to say but for a person newish to open world racing games it would be really enjoyable. On my PC it does get a bit laggy on Ultra(GTX 560) and the controls feel touchy and over responsive to start(The arrow keys for steering. Graphics are amazingly beautiful. It would take a while to finish aswell. Online is done really well if you have other friends playing it.

Look up some videos to get a feel for it as some people have really disliked it. (Mainly the original most wanted players)

Hope I could help

For me TF2 was the last bastion of sensible online play. Then Valve updates happened all over it, so that was that for me. I still play the occasional SP though. Black Mesa Source was great, and Valve have said a new game engine is being worked on so maybe HL3 will happen before i die of old age.

I'd like to play Crysis 3 but that will be an Origin exclusive so f**k that! Aliens Colonial Marines might be the next title i buy as long as it's better than that Avp3 rubbish.

Leave the MP to the tantrum throwing kiddies as there's plenty of good gaming to be had without having to go online i say.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I reckon the original Far Cry would still be worth playing through now, not to mention Crysis 1/ Crysis Warhead/ Crysis 2.

AvP Classic is cheap on Steam, (if you can bear to use it), and that game whilst dated could still scare the pants off you.

Interested to see any other suggestions.

Edit: Black mesa Source is free, so you can't beat that for a price!

Far Cry 1 was fun, even if you needed to cheat to ever get to the end :p (that volcano level, omfg :eek:)

AvP classic, now there's nostalgia. I still have the orignal version. (yay for XP) :D

Black Mesa Source, I'm waiting for them to finish the last few levels. :)

Crysis 1 & Warhead were great. I did ragequit 1 once and left it alone for almost a year because everyone I killed kept getting back up. Played Warhead after that and found out I was using tranqs in 1. *facepalm* Oops.. xD

I played the (leaked) alpha of 2. Kudos for humour, my health bar was a teapot. :laugh:

That Volcano level was a nightmare!

AvP 1&2, pants wettingly scary. Turning on a freshly charged flashlight just in time to see four Aliens bearing down on you. Backing away all the time and hoping not to get splashed with acid.

Looking forward to Zen levels for BM:S. Took me ages to kill that giant baby (Nihilanth) in the original game. Went much smoother once i'd realised what the jumping pads were for! :rolleyes:

I want to play all my Crysis games again but i'm on a 2560x1440 monitor now and my GTX570 won't really be up to it. It only just managed okay @ 1920x1200. Perhaps it's something i'll do when i get around to upgrading this card.

[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Yep, that. And I'm afraid that THQ's best franchises can go to worst publishers like EA and Activision. There is even a rumour that Ubisoft is gonna buy Company Of Heroes and a couple of other franchises. Let's just hope that Relic Entertainment will stay alive and with the right to WH40K series. Metro is probably going to end up in Ubisoft's hands. UFC is already bought by EA (to be precise - it was bought by them back in the summer, just before GamesCon)

I only hope that these franchises won't end up in hands of EA or Activision. We all know how they can kill a franchise easily - like EA did with Mercenaries and C&C, and how Activision ruined Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Guitar Hero

Maybe Ubisoft or Bethesda would do good to all of THQ's franchises, I don't see a better option than these two
[Off-topic] drnecropolis:
Bethesda has a nasty habit of releasing broken games and not supporting them worth a damn, they just **** around until they release a GOTY and fix the bugs on that edition and if it is still crashing.. too bad.. Fallout: New Vegas is still a calamity, FO3 crashes left and right.. let's not even get into the Elder Scrolls..

Ubisoft won't update engines for games, they just keep beating a dead horse..

There are other companies out there that would be better suited.. hell, off the top of my head, From Software would be better..
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
From Software is not a publisher, is it? And we're talking about worthy publishers that would at least keep the franchises alive
[Off-topic] drnecropolis:
You are correct.. FS is the developer..

While it can keep it alive, does that always guarantee to good life? Sometimes its best to go down with the ship..

Take a look at what became of examples you mentioned above.. just because its a bigger parent company doesn't mean its a better product in the end..

Take Two would be one that might be a good option..

Warner Brothers would also be a decent choice for a publisher over Beth or Ubi..
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Ubi or Bethesda? We'd be better off letting Indie companies make them..

Ubisoft is so obsessed with DRM they forget everything else, and Bethesda doesn't know that recycling an engine only works if you keep using the fresh version, instead of the one form the previous game. The engine Skyrim runs on is littered with redundant code, making the game highly unstable.

EA and Activision are only in it for the money. :(

BioWare used to be decent, until EA bought them.

I haven't heard form Obsidian since Dungeon Siege 3 last year. But then again, Kotor 2 sucked and NWN2, while good (Except Zehir, dafuq was that about?), was also buggy as hell. Project Eternity is looking very, very good though. $4,1 Million in a kickstarter project, wow. :eek:
[Off-topic] southernknight:
Yeah. Why must THQ go bankrupt nowww...

I am the son of the potato.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Yeah, those two. I bet Rockstar Games can take Saints Row under their wing, maybe they can make the series even better, because currently GTA is kinda TOO serious and realistic, earlier games were much more crazy and fun, and the crazyness degree in Saints Row is just overwhelming, which makes it unique even though it's a GTA clone

I also believe that Sega can take Relic Entertainment and CoH's developers under their wing since they have Creative Assembly (the developers of Total War)

Take Two can also be a good variant for WH40K and CoH since 2K Games have Firaxis Games (developers of Sid Meier's Civilization)

Yep, on a second thought - you're right. Ubisoft is living strictly thanks to the Rayman (and Raving Rabbits) and Assassin's Creed series. Splinter Cell is just a mess now. Look at the Blacklist - where the hell is the spirit of the original trilogy!? Plus they ruined Micro Machines and Driver series, but there is a light of hope thanks to ZombiU. At least one nice title they have for 2013

And yes, Bethesda really is lazy.. TES's engine hasn't changed from the times of TES III Morrowind, just the graphics got better

EA and Activision would only suit for action/shooter games, especially for EA, so maybe it would be a nice option to give Metro to them? They could then give the series to Visceral Games (Dead Space 1 and 2 were pretty nice)

BioWare and Obsidian and done for, but hey - Obsidian were once the kings of RPG games in the Western market. So sorry to see them in their today's state, and Alpha Protocol is just a shame...

But how about Japanese publishers?
