Who doesn't care about online gaming??? should it factor into review scores?

If a game that includes online, sucks...then it should be factored in the score...

if a game taht includes online , rocks...then it should be factored in as well...

if a game that have NO online...then the game review should be based on the SP only..

Considering most games need online to keep things intresting and such..it would be stupid for a devloper NOT to include Multiplayer, online gaming is the biggest sorces of social gaming and not including it in a game almost feels like half a game..

[QUOTE="BZSIN"]A game should be reviewed for what it is, not what it could be. If a game ships with no multiplayer, then it should be reviewed strictly as a single player experience, regardless of whether you think it should have multiplayer or not._koolgirl_

I agree...but i mean geez ...once you've played one fps mp...you've played them all honestly

i want to see online mp be a bit more innovative than repetetive shooting deathmatches...

how about a friggen powerstone remake or something with like 12 fighters in an arena where you can even balance it with projectile objects...now that sounds like fun...

First off, I agree with everyone who brought up 2 seperate scores. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Some games are clearly designed for one or the other. Some people obviously prefer one over the other.

TC, I had to reply to you however because I hate to see you generalize online MP as just repetitve shooting deathmatches. Glancing at your gamercard and score, it doesn't look like you've really tried much else.

I recently had a lot of fun with Soul Calibur, I've got a friend who keeps telling me how fun Civilization Revolution is online. Hell, one of my favorite MP games on 360 is still UNO.

Why don't you try out some different genres before you decide you don't like the experience?

to be fair its really my little brother who plays the cod4 online I stick to the single player games when i find by a miracle some time to play...I'm not giving microsoft an extra 50 bucks just to make a seperate online account for my bro...at least ps3 you can have seperate free online accounts

being 24 yrs old i really don't have much time for games...but when i do i prefer an immersive single player experience rather than some frantic repetetive death match crud with little kids screaming and what not.

I really want to get into online gaming my little brother plays cod4 multiplayer all freaking day...and i think how the heck can you not get bored of the same old crap....

one thing that bothers me is a game not getting a good review score because it lacks online...as a person who could care less about that aspect it offends my intelligence that a game may get an 9 and up solely based on the multiplayer when i don't even play it and a game that may have a better singleplayer experience will get a lower score just because its weaker in the online area...anybody else bugged by this??slystallion26

Some kind of games demand an online mode, some others just don't need it. It's a relative issue.
