I'm guessing you could throw Racing games in there too, Since those types of games (Fighting, Sports, Racing) seem to be targeted for both Single and Multi in mind.Reknoc wrote:What about fighting games, or sports games?
Multiplayer or Single Player experiences?

I'm much more of a multiplayer fan. most of the types of games i like are multiplayer, and most of the single player games i do play are high score based so i'm still effectively playing against other people on leaderboards to beat them. i've never liked long quest type games, it's never interested me much to sit down in front of the tv for hour after hour playing a game all to myself. there's only been one or two over the years i've really been ale to get into and they are football manager and the original tomb raider games. hardly anything else has interested me enough since.
Tic Tac, sir?

Indeed it has, but KFB is probably one of the least nerdy/geeky/socially inept members of thie forum so I'm not surprised by his response.TheChaosBlue wrote:And now the trend has been broken~![]()

I've never seen it in that way. That's one of things I like from a single player mode, the high-score and time attack system.Killer French Bread wrote:and most of the single player games i do play are high score based so i'm still effectively playing against other people on leaderboards to beat them.
One old habit of mine from the arcades was to aim and get the high score. That satisfaction to be first at the leaderboard, at least in the same day, it felt good. I think I'm a little more competitive than I thought.
But those days are gone, and since I hardly go online, I only try to surpass my own scores/times.

That's why I don't buy them.Reknoc wrote:What about fighting games, or sports games?

Even if I do, it's because the single Player has SOME value such as unlocking new characters, features, levels or something else. E.g. Super Smash Bros or Tekken.

Unlocking characters through singleplayer in a fighter, or any mostly competitive game, is one of the worst design decisions ever though.Quills on Wheels wrote:That's why I don't buy them.<--- Also why I haven't bought Sonic and SEGA all stars racing yet.
