This is more of a rant than anything and no offense is meant to anyone.
I'm not tooting my own horn here because I feel that I'm in the minority anymore, but what happened to all of us? What happened to SP gaming?
The more I talk to most of you guys the more I feel like I'm alone. Am I the only one that cares about a SP game anymore? I'm not talking the BIG obvious games, but the games that aren't that well known or aren't the best at what they do like Quake IV, PREY, Tony Hawks, The Darkness, Condemned, Riddick, FEAR, Hitman, Price of Persia, Dead Space, Tomb Raider. All the games I listed are just from this generation, are off the top of my head and are all a ton of fun. Call that list what you want, but they are all solid and almost all of them are unplayed by anyone but me.
Does that make me a snob for saying that or you guys snobs for not playing them because they aren't worth your time? Am I just an asshole?
One of you in particular I really respect for the variety and sheer amount of astounding SP games you've played (many of which I never touched) and it makes me sad that you have lost touch with that. We talked about it this morning and you know who you are.
I guess I just get sad when I see that MP gaming takes us over more and more and these games get overlooked again and again and again. We complain about the lack of innovation in the industry yet all we play are the same old MP games over and over.
It just blows my mind when I talk to you guys about some great games and you couldn't really care less. I guess it's because I want you to experience them as well and appreciate what they offer.
Brjahu has always said that I'm ADD with the games I play and I'd have to agree, but don't you think I get the richer experience out of playing so many different games by so many different developers? Sure most of them are shooters, but I think I can have the greatest opinion and appreciation for what I'm playing at the time over any of you guys because of the variety of games I play.
Rant is pretty much done...just wishing you guys would join in and realize what you're missing.

See Amateria's post.... I combined my responses for this and his.
ReplyDeleteI played 5 Tony Hawks all the way through before the forumla got old, I've played F.E.A.R. and the F.E.A.R. 2 demo was kind of disappointing... I still play a lot of SP games... I played through Borderlands alone since I didn't want any noobs slowing me down. I just bought Torchlight this weekend and that's only SP...
ReplyDeleteSP still has a huge audience and I think some developers are losing track of that.
Oh everyone on the blog....I knew it would be you that slapped me in the face with something. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I played about an hour of FEAR 2 and it was about 3 times scarier than the first IMHO. Still gotta play the whole thing!
The demo didn't scare me at all... it felt more predictable, imo...
