Why do people buy singleplayer games?

[QUOTE="leperphiliac"]Assasins creed and Bioshock arent rpg's[/QUOTE] They both have heavy RPG elements. - Jan 6, 2010 8:41 pm GMT[QUOTE="Coldzboy"]
Notice how every game you guys have spoken about have been RPGs...
[/QUOTE] Yup. RPGs are among the greatest singleplayer games. I men really, who in there right mind will spend $60 on a game that's multiplayer based with a campaign that will be very short? I got Modern Warfare 2 because I knew I'd love the online, and maybe the campaign. - Jan 6, 2010 8:48 pm GMT[QUOTE="Coldzboy"]
[QUOTE="KorruptRaiden"]Why do people buy multiplayer games? they are extremely repetative? Seriously are you that ridiculously blind? I am going to take your advice and not buy final fantasy 13 but rent it for 2 weeks and pay probably $100 in late fees because it will take that long to finish therefore paying more than the game is actually worth and not actually owning the game.[/QUOTE]
"Ok let me start by pointing out that Gears Of War, Halo 3 and Resistance are as good as their popularity suggests, their exciting for the noob gamer (most gamers) because of their easy gameplay, which i like to call doom ****" - You
I don't really care for your opinion anymore, thanks for stopping by.
[/QUOTE] You missed my point, I used final fantasy of all games there, why? Well simple because it is a stand out game in terms of story depth/length, characterisation, etc. You buy one of these games for the same reason you would buy a novel, you get what I mean right? -_- - Jan 6, 2010 8:49 pm GMT
[QUOTE="Coldzboy"][QUOTE="leperphiliac"]Assasins creed and Bioshock arent rpg's[/QUOTE] They both have heavy RPG elements.[/QUOTE] No not really Assassins Creed 2 is similar to sandbox style more then anything and so is the first one. Not everyone likes multiplayer stuff some people would rather have a long nice story rather then a multiplayer game that more then likely you will get tired of quicker. Anyways from reading some of your post theirs no reasoning with you.

So either I'm a female or Assassin's Creed II is an RPG.
Can you clarify? I'd like to know which one I should be confused about.

is this thread for real...
[/QUOTE]
I think it is but it just seems like a bad joke.
[/QUOTE]
A bad joke? :$ this isn't even a joke at all, because you like to waste money buying singleplayer games doesn't mean that everyone wants to...
[/QUOTE] Please explain to me how its a waste of money if the person who bought it enjoys it. Because they're games and I love playing games. Not every single game needs multiplayer and those who think so are wrong and need to rethink their life.

"Mr B, Big sister doesn't want you playing with me"
with owning a game you can go back to it anytime you want...for example, i beat killzone 2 and batman arkham asylum in december even though i got them both when they were first released (and could have beat them in a few days but i chose to not finish them)....i must have played the whole rainbow six vegas 2 campaign at least five times and the gears of war campaign at least 10 times. some games i feel like saving for a rainy day, so to speak, and some games i like playing through again whether it is to get achievements that i missed or simply for fun. ...and you know what? ...right now i have a great library of games that i can play anytime i want. - Jan 6, 2010 9:01 pm GMT
You do realize that a lot of single player games are replayable right? In difficulty, unlocking stuff, achievements, etc.

I don't mean to come off rude, but when you announce to everyone that you're exiting a topic, you exit, have a great day.

[Incredibly long, humorless, pointlessly self-indulgent signature here]
I like having a game library, for many reasons. Why I buy games:
- I don't buy games for $60, unless it's something I really want. At a certain point, it becomes more economical to buy games than rent them.
- Some games have such a large volume of content, that I'm going to want to own them for a while. It's impractical to just "Beat it; return it."
- I can replay games, such as RPGs with multiple endings or shooters with different difficulties. It's not just "Beat it; return it."
- Following from the above, if I get frustrated with a game, I can set it aside. There's no rush to beat it so I can return it to the store/get a new game on GameFly.
- If I get an itch to replay a certain game, I can.
- Other people I know can play a game once I'm done with it. My girlfriend loves Dragon Age, and that's a single-player game.
EDIT: GameSpot ate my spaces.
