5-hour singleplayer games are the future, right guys? Right! - Games

my main problem with just cause 2 was that the story was to terrible for me to finish it but the fucking around was pretty awesome and thats not a bad thing

[QUOTE=froztshock;28844651]Don't forget Metroid Prime[/QUOTE] one of those games where the jump to 3d was deemed unwelcome but turned out to be fucking awesome then team ninja came along and fucked everything up

2 words: Procedural generation.

I don't understand the fascination with adding multiplayer to every game in existence. When I was playing Assassin's Creed, I didn't think "man I wish this had multiplayer" I thought "fuck yeah this game is awesome I'm on my own assassinating people". The only reason multiplayer should be added to most singleplayer games is co-op, not generic-deathmatch-in-a-different-setting.

I think MGS4 was one of the longest games I've played.

Hurr, Portal and Mirror's Edge suck so much, they don't [i]even[/i] have multiplayer.

[QUOTE=privatesmily;28844624]most people regard it as a step backward... i for one got annoyed by the fact that these supposedly poor bandits are carrying glass and daedric armor even though there suppose to be rare... that and monsters going extinct when you level up enough[/QUOTE] I actually played Morrowind and preferred Oblivion The world felt more real because of the characters acting on their own and 90% of quests in Morrowind were go to X city and talk to Y where most of the quests in Oblivion were actually interesting even if they were fewer.

Clearly you are representative of everybody else.

For Gmod, I have 1108 hours according to steam, I have 508 in TF2 (about 100 hours from idling), but games like Black ops, I have 8 hours in mutiplayer, 9 in SP and Zombies. I swear, the cheaper the game, the better its like. [editline]27th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=16bit;28845213]I think MGS4 was one of the longest games I've played.[/QUOTE] That was a game? It felt like a movie.

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;28845221]Hurr, Portal and Mirror's Edge suck so much, they don't [i]even[/i] have multiplayer.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about?

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;28845379]Clearly you are representative of everybody else.[/QUOTE] Clearly it's an opinion belonging to myself.

At least Warband has pretty much infinite replayability.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;28843477]When a game is in development for 2-3 years at a time, I should expect a campaign to be loner then 2 1/2 hours long, I should expect it to be fun to play, and make me want to play it over and over again. If I wanted too watch Michael bay explosions 3: Return of the c4, I would go and pay 15$ at a movie theater, or pay 20$ at a walmart, I don't want to pay 60$ too see the same shit I've seen 500 fucking times. I wanted too play "Duty calls" more times over then I wanted to play Homefront, or Medal of honor, or Call of duty 4-7, or Generic shooter from 2009-2011. As a wise man once said, a game should be able too stand on its singleplayer alone, if it can't, it should dump it and focus on its multiplayer. PS: FFS, BF: BC2's singleplayer was longer and more fun than homefront, and that wasn't even its main focus![/QUOTE] First of all, your an idiot who doesn't get game development. Depending on what is going to be in the game affects how long the development cycle is, and certain things require way more work than others. A single epic boss battle could take the time it takes to make a whole level of a game. Lengths of games are also up to the player, some log 10 hours, some log 20. And there has never been a retail game that is only 2 and a half hours long. Also, the developers want there game to be fun, in the same way an artist wants his picture to be perfect. Sometimes it just doesn't happen, and they run out of time and it gets released. Development time does not correspond to quality. Additionally, re playability is nice to have, but it is in no way required. About the playing the same game 500 times part, seriously, shut the hell up. A couple of modern military shooters doesn't mean its the same stuff. You should be grateful you're living in age which allows for so much variety and uniqueness. Games have brought us underneath the ocean fighting mutants, in apocalyptic realms surviving off the past remains, in fantasy realms deep with lore, and even in space commanding armies in a war. 7 similar games doesn't mean the whole game industry is just recycling. You are the very thing developers hate, the ignorant uninformed ungrateful whiners who no nothing about how games are made and yet feels so much entitlement for absolutely no reason. People work 8 hours a day coding, modeling, writing, advertising, and composing hoping to create something good and then you just bash the whole effort made by the people, just because it may not have turned out right. And I never said anything about modern military fps's before, so I don't know where on earth you got that from.

I hate long shit games even more.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is more fun than Half-Life 2.

[editline]27th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Tabarnaco;28846012]Call of Duty: Black Ops is more fun than Half-Life 2.[/QUOTE] I'd hate to admit it, but that's pretty true. The gunplay in HL2 is pretty dated.

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;28846012]Call of Duty: Black Ops is more fun than Half-Life 2.[/QUOTE] Get the fuck out!

[QUOTE=madnath619;28844067]Fucking hell it took me 3-5 years to finish GTA : San andreas on PS2! I dont know if im just better at games now but i can complete games like GTA IV and all of its DLC'S in about 2-3 weeks! That said i think we need games that have the length of san andreas if its open world...If its a 3rd or 1st person shooter i think 15 to 18 hours standard-ish[/QUOTE] Wow you must be really bad at San Andreas. I remember beating it in less than a day.

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;28846012]Call of Duty: Black Ops is more fun than Half-Life 2.[/QUOTE] That's [i]exactly[/i] why we can't have nice things.

[QUOTE=Numidium;28840764]Has to do with [b]consolization[/b] and casualization of games too.[/QUOTE] Nope, assuming you mean games in general. In recent terms, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a gigantic game. Nintendo games in general are long adventures.

Crysis 2 has a long single player story compared to most other fps games out (homefront, CoD, etc) and the multiplayer is good too.

To be honest i never started the black ops campaign i only played like 30 minutes zombie mode and 9 hours mp and i didn't like it.

Brown is the future
