Buying a game that doesn't have online?

Personally I prefer a good campaign to story mode. I generally don't even like online games.

I don't like them for a few reasons:

1. No story.

2. Similar to 1 - The quests / missions have very little to nothing to do with each other.

3. Gameplay usually sucks.

4. Generally lacks the "RPG" part except for your character being in that universe. No "role playing" involved.

5. You're forced to team up with other players. This is very annoying.

I'm considering getting Star Wars: The Old Republic because BioWare says it focuses on story, and I like what I'm seeing as far as gameplay. Much more RPG focused.

Books and movies don't need online multiplayer. Why should a video game?

This is true. But it's a little awkward to role play in a game that doesn't focus enough on it. In most cases the players make the situations, not the game itself.

Eh. Not awkward for me. I like to RP on forums from time to time if I can find a good one, so it comes natural. Game's what you make it.

I've role played a bit on boards. I never really understood how certain this worked. I usually stick to simpler forum-based RPGs.

because a campaign isn't worth 60 dollars.DSJR4

You haven't played Batman: Arkham Asylum. It was worth the $60 (maybe not the $100 I spent for the Collector's Edition, but that's because the batarang was cheap)

It wasn't just the story. It had great gameplay, great voice acting, great story, and great graphics. It also had items for you to find through the game (many of which easter eggs). It also had challenge modes which are fun.

The only time I'll say a story wasn't worth it is when it's really, really short. Even then I don't usually say that.

Really depends on the game - for me a game doesn't need to have online

it's like buying a movie or book. Ontain

Books aren't 60 dollars.DSJR4

Single player will always be better than multiplayer. Just look at games like Half-Life.

I pick mass effect and bioshock above gears of war and call of duty any day. I have nothing against online but I do still enjoy a good story.

So basically, what you're saying is, you will avoid all of the great games out there just because they don't have multiplayer?

I understand about replay value. But single player games have replay value and some multiplayer games don't. It's a matter of taste in the end, I guess.
