replay value now is based mainly on how good the multiplayer is and how good the online system to make multiplayer works. Halo 2 dominated for so long because it was the only game on the first xbox to do online gaming well. then on the 360 other games caught on and figured out what bungie already knew. there r still a few single player games i can think of that came out post 2000 that had great replay value(gta vice city, gta san andreas, splinter cell, bio shock, assassins creed sure theres more i cant think of). Good multi players is what makes a game now, with out that shit will be done with in a month.

EA tried its hand with new IP a couple years ago now with mirrors edge and dead space, and had decent success with both, but now they r back to same old yearly sports game shit. also like any decent new IP, they already got sequels for both planned, and i dont think they will be able to capture the magic of either game again.

I have to disagree. While Mirrors Edge wasn't brilliant and I didn't play Dead Space, it was a step in the right direction. You only have to look at what's coming up. Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor, Skate 3, MMA. And before that Mass Effect, Bad Company, Skate, Battlefield 1943, DragonAge Origins, Dantes Inferno, Saboteur, L4D 2. Granted, not all of them were developed by them or a sucess but they were taking risks at least. And I think it paid off.

I was getting sick of the constant NFS, FIFA and Tiger Woods games every year but now they do actually put out some geat games alongside those ones. And my gripe with Activision is'nt even the COD games.

And if youve got a PS3, you need Demons souls:

Im considering getting a ps3 just for this game alone. Hard games = My kind of game. I enjoy a few fails before I succeed (sp?)

I might be part of a dieing breed. But I've always enjoyed single player games more.

When I heard the next TES and Kotor title were going to be online, I cried. Not everyone enjoys social gaming.

WAT?

**greg is cool** · 28.04.2010, 10:49

o i almost forgot, the best single player game of the last 10 years to me has to be Olivion elder scrolls 4. i know we had a thread about it recently, but damn did i waste a shit load of time on that game and would do it all over again.

Source: Redacted court filings obtained by Fallout fansite Duck and Cover as well as industry hearsay from British gaming site VG247.

What we heard: In 2007, Bethesda Softworks parent company Zenimax Media formed Zenimax Online, a massively multiplayer online gaming arm headed by Mythic Entertainment cofounder Matt Frior. At the time, Zenimax was hush-hush on what the branch, which was given access to some $300 million in funding, was at work on. However, speculative eyes soon turned toward an MMORPG devoted to Bethesda's celebrated Elder Scrolls fantasy franchise, after Zenimax registered the URL elderscrollsonline.com.

then there are rumors, cryptic statements from Bethseda, ect.

[edit]

DLing Oblivion and DLC's from D2D. It definitely was one of the best Single player RPG's but I would not say the best of the past 10 years.

**Cadbury** · 28.04.2010, 10:53

Hmmmmmm, I dunno? I wouldn't mind a 4 player a co-op but to make TES into a MMORPG? And I agree on the single player thing. There's not enough great ones around right now. Last ones I enjoyed were Assassins Creed 2 and DragonAge Origins.

if they made it a MMO id play. if it was like the single player where u had essentially freedom every where to do anything, id be all over it.

apparently madden has been too hard to play, so they r gonna dumb it down to make it even easier. the issue with madden isnt that its too hard, it just blows.
when developers dumb their games down its always leaves out the most devoted fans, the ones who buy each game no matter what. once again, fuck EA and their shit games.

yes, it's like that for casual rollerblader
