Single Player Games Aren't Really Dying

Single player Dying ? lol who said that ?

Since online community ist getting more and more toxic , single player is on the rise again.

Single-player is why I play. I just can't get into multiplayer experiences where you're heavily encouraged to spend money even if the game is free-to-play. Sometimes you just can't or don't want to deal with toxic communities or the hassle of expectations from other players, even friends. I get more out of a story-driven game than what I see as repetitive online free-for-alls.

I'm also not sure how long games should be. Six hours seems like not enough, but if it takes you 120 hours to play through it once...holy crap...and "somewhere in between" is far too vague. Oy, my head hurts.

I honestly would be insulted, and still insulted from some of the newer games getting more multiplayer attention than single player. I am fine for the most part with co-op games like Left4dead and Killing floor or any other games that allow you to work mostly towards a common goal. But deathmatches and the such are a blight honestly to video games. That is my opinion and that is what I believe.

People take video games way to seriously and I play games to have fun and immerse myself. I quite frankly don't need someone with their dumb microphone (simple multiplayer example) ruining my experience.

Yep, the day single player dies, is not only the day I quit the New games (I will just replay older games) and actually the day the video game industry dies. Multiplayer cannot last on its own. Not everyone wants to play games with other people, who half the time are toxic as hell.

Only one MP game makes my top 5 all time games that i've played.

We see a similar trend in movies. Superhero blockbusters get made every year and every year they make money. But ask anyone to start naming great movies...is a superhero movie even close to the top?

Click bait.

Of course single player isn't dying, without it games would be consigned to only a handful of game types. Exploration, adventure, investigation, puzzle etc just don't fit into multiplayer for the most. Co-operative is the way single player should expand rather than bolted on multiplayer modes which satisfy for a week at best before moving on to something new.

The day that they stop making single player games would be the day that I retire from gaming and find another hobby.

it will never die, it give some kind of life to players knowing about the character's life.

Spoken by true consumers with English degrees. Entitled viewpoints of sales and industry health pox your little self-stoking videos and are what pollute gaming. I don't know how the two of you snatched up the spotlight of this website. It's truly a puzzle. You take no risks, you have no critical eye and you write in the depth of an 11th-grader. Can we get the old Gamespot back?

The problem is that most gamers refuse to buy anything short of perfect when it comes to SP games, at full price at least, publishers should budget interesting experimental SP titles to sell at a budget price ($30-$50), lots of games would have benefited from that.

I love 8 - 10 hour games compared to 100 hour games. They feel less wasteful of my time. I can feel like I accomplished something and I just get completely bored with a game after 20 - 30 hours of the same gameplay. I'm not a kid and can afford to buy more games but feel like I need to finish what I have before moving to the next. Anyone else that likes shorter, more focused games? The never ending quest games (Dragon Age, Assasins Creed, Far Cry - recent releases - loved the Far Cry on the original Xbox) bore me to tears usually (Witcher 3 is the best of this genre but I'm still trying to finish it - how is that possible?).

Who said they were dying?

Multiplayers game are so boring

I want to see more good single player games like Prey, Doom and Resident Evil 7 and Bayonetta and witcher 3

Also, I wish if more games become more linear. Many games these day are becoming open world with boring side quests. We don't want every game to be open world

Star Wars The Force Unleashed or Star Wars Battlefront?

Skyrim or Elder Scrolls Online?

...

They're not dying, they just have drug-manageable loot-box-microtransaction cancer.

The **** it is!! Single player is the ONLY reason I sit down to my PC to enjoy a few hours of detaching from the rest of the planet!! I don't want to be online with anyone! Especially some snot-nosed, cheating little bastard who 'camps' all day, and talks a lot of smack!! I play games to get AWAY from all that!!! There's room for BOTH! Anyone who thinks otherwise is just ignorant!!!

If a game does not have at least a 10+ hour good quality SP campaign I will not get it.

Titanfall 2, did not get it. Did not get BF4. SWBF2 will not get it. COD WW2 will not get it....

How can people pay full prices for small campaigns and repetitive online, those idiots only support game companies get rich the fast way by producing shit games.

I love Assassins Creed (as repetitive as the gameplay is, but that story and lore....), Fallouts, Deus Ex (play the original first one once a year for 10 years in a row and still encounter new hidden rooms and things), and so forth.
