Why do publishers force in multiplayer modes when....

better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I'll be on a rampage if Just Cause 3 has multiplayer...

For the love of God, don't.

GTAIV multiplayer was awesome, and RDR even better. I have high hopes for it in GTAV

[QUOTE="Litchie"]Because they think it will make them money. I hate it when they do that for games like Dead Space, BioShock and stuff like that but we'll have to live with it. I'd much rather not have multi-player at all than a crappy multi-player. Spending time on making crappy multi-player = less time spent on making the actual game better.danish-death

hate to say it but i refuse to buy a game unless it has good multiplayer OR the story takes longer than 8-10 hours to beat because in my opinion a game isn't worth $60 unless it meets at least one of those requirements.

To deter used game sales.

Because of random idiots who say "no MP = rent". Next thing we'll have multiplayer in games like Silent Hill.

No idea. I guess they are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. Props to Starbreeze. At least Syndicate tried something different for example.

Another developer spoke on the topic today: Avalanche in an interview with gamespy

Did Avalanche think multiplayer didn't fit in Just Cause 2? In a recent interview, you said that many developers and publishers force multiplayer into games for all the wrong reasons.Gamespy

CS: That is correct, and that is why you see so many games with forced multiplayer modes that are thrown together just as a desperate move to combat second-hand sales. Bad multiplayer modes have become the new bad movie-based games, and are big black holes where developers waste time and publishers waste money. Christofer Sundberg

Must multiplayer game modes I dont even touch. I might play them for a couple hours but I have my online games for online gaming. (Halo, Call of Duty)

Mass Effect 3: Didnt play online much. (Beat Campaign)

Uncharted 2 and 3: Didnt play online much (Beat Camapigns)

Bioshock 2: Played more online than actuall campign. (Didnt care for the game)

Grand Theft Auto 4: Played more online than actuall game. (Great game but never finished the story)

Red Dead Redemption: I never played online. (Beat Campaign)

Call of Duty: Played online for days! (Beat all the campaigns also)

Halo: Played onlne for days! (Beat all of the campaigns)

Metal Gear Solid 4: Played MGO for a few hours (Beat the campaign)

Dont like them, dont play them.

Publishers dont have any idea how to make games, they just in it for the money, and look at how successful COD is, they want forced MP in their games, so it will be more popular. But its just a waste of resources when you force MP on a mainly SP game. After a month the community will be dead since there a far superior MP games out there, since they are designed for MP. Ye its stupid

Because of random idiots who say "no MP = rent".
