Ken Levine gives me a tasteful respect boner. I love that guy as a dev and writer.

I don't have a problem with multiplayer on games that focus on single player, as long as the single player doesn't suffer because more time/effort (Fuckin' looking at you, CoD since 4...except Black Ops 2, which was a surprise) was put into multiplayer, or the single player is great, but the multiplayer is shithouse and blatantly seems tacked on because "HEY MULTIPLAYER Y'ALL!".

With the exception of the revolver being more useless than harsh language, Bioshock 2's Multiplayer kicked buttock, and I think it's the only multiplayer that actually told a story about specific characters, all of which were great. I miss Buck Raleigh...

"Things are either mine, or not mine yet!"
Shine on you crazy diamond beneath the sea. Shine on.

Still not sure if getting, and this doesn't help.

Thank gawd for that. Perhaps this will be the turning of the tide where only games that are improved by multiplayer have it, instead of shoehorning it into every bloody title, as is currently en vogue.

Wow! This is great! Now we need more games without mp. The devs of Spec Ops were right - it's a canser on the singleplayer.
All hail common sence!
...did you...perchance...switch the 's' and the 'c' in cancer and sense just to screw with my mind?

OT: Good. Singleplayer games shouldn't feel the need to devote time and resources to a token multiplayer unless they're going to make something of it. If it's a key part of the game, that's fine, but a lot of the time it adds nothing and is only there because the publisher doesn't know what they're doing.

I'm okay with this!

Take notes, developers. Not every single game needs multiplayer.

Today was a good day. :D

What's this? A game that doesn't need to shoehorn in a worthless multiplayer where it would be more effective to invest the time and money into polishing the single player? A developer that realizes that, go figure, lots of people exclusively like single player? That having a single good thing is better than two mediocre ones?

Irrational Games, you've just disproved your own name. Non-sarcastic gold star high fives all around.

NO MULTIPLAYER!!!

HURRAY!!!

I guess they did learn from Bioshock 2.
Actually I BELIEVE (don't quote me on this) Irrational didn't do Bioshock 2 that was handled by a different 2K subdivision, I heard a rumour that irrational changed their name back to it from 2K Marin to differentiate themselves from the team that did Bioshock 2.

Also I too thoroughly enjoyed the B2 multiplayer mainly because it actually worked most of the time, and was pretty unique due to plasmids and tonics and all that jazz.
