Really?!?! EW. Hopefully the swinging mechanic will be enough to get me interested for at least a little while.

Honestly I don't have any interest in this game...it just looks generic with a cool swinging mechanic.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I didn't know the demo hit. Gotta try it out.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The demo is multiplayer only, correct?

correct.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I don't have Live so can't try it out.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh.

Well, I'm more interested in the single player campaign anyways.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ditto. Though I guess you could get a feel of what the general feel of the gameplay is going to be with a MP demo and all, but I'm much more interested in the SP aspect. If this had been on PSN as well I probably would've downloaded it just to see it

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Same here.

Wow, some trend too.

This...trend of releasing Multiplayer demos over single player demos just shows how big a deal multiplayer has become to games.

I remember the days when the single player was the end all be all of a game. Now...I swear, most gamers would rather have a 5 hour single player and have a fantastic multiplayer.

Whereas, I rather have it the other way around.

I feel the same way, I really don't like the trend of these short single player games. Wish there were more platformers like the ones we got on the N64 with nice long single player games.

 

[Soapy]

I don't like this multiplayer>single player trend either. What makes it more frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be a reason for it. In my experience, the vast majority of gamers will play multiplayer in a game like this only a handful of times (usually only once or twice) and then go back to Halo or Call of Duty for their multiplayer fix. I just don't see the point in wasting time and resources making a multiplayer mode that will be dead in less than three months of it's release.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

This game looks generic as hell

And I'll take a great multiplayer game over single player any day. I mostly play video games with other people anyway.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

The only game I can think of off the top of my head that delivered all the way on the single player AND the multiplayer is METAL GEAR SOLID 4.

I don't have a problem with multiplayer games. I'd just prefer if they'd call it a "Multiplayer game" and market it as such, and not cloak it with a useless single player just to sell it.

I'm sure people would go crazy buying multiplayer-only games. I'd just be happy if my single player campaigns got longer, better, and more polished.

Atleast, more than most multiplayers do atleast.

COD4 had a fantastic campaign and multiplayer.

Wait, You think MGS4 had GOOD multiplayer?!?! The CONCEPT was good; execution? Not so Much. I agree with Geo COD4&5 both had good single and multi player.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The multiplayer in MGS4 wasn't amazing or anything, but it wasn't bad by any means. It could've definitely been improved, but it was still quite fun
