Multiplayer with the Witchers gameplay would just be weird. Like seriously. It's too complex.
Good.

[QUOTE=Ylsid;40443038]I don't think multiplayer is a problem so much as it doesn't dominate the development time.[/QUOTE] Yeah, we sure would enjoy our tacked on MP.
I think a separate multiplayer campaign, completely independent of the main story, could have been cool.
A multiplayer Witcher game that plays like Monster Hunter where each monster type have their own unique way to be stricken down? Seems like I can only dream now.
[QUOTE=Ylsid;40443038]I don't think multiplayer is a problem so much as it doesn't dominate the development time.[/QUOTE] I think it would be. Witcher as a series has no reason to have multiplayer - it doesn't really fit the design goals of project and would be tacked on. I'm of the opinion that games should only have multiplayer if it really makes sense in the design of the game to include it. I.E. dark souls, battlefield 3, etc. Just putting in multiplayer even if the design of the game is strictly focused on single player is a bad move. Not only from a development/money perspective (it's impossible to implement such a feature without it costing dev time/money), but also from a design perspective - it would serve no purpose to enhance the goals of what the game sets out to do and provide for the player.
Tacked on multiplayer NEVER works Even if it does end up being good, it's really hard to get a lasting playerbase unless you really sell the multiplayer The top multiplayer games are all ones that have that feature as a big selling point, and people generally don't play a shitton of different multiplayer games at the same time
Good decision. I haven't played Witcher yet, but it doesn't seems like the kind of game that would benefit from having a multiplayer mode.
No DRM, no tacked on MP I fucking love CD Projekt
