Online gaming has already materialized. The future you're referring to is NOW, present. So what is the future of gaming?Elann2008

some games just do not need online..Ryuketsu2043

or force you to pay for it, ex Bad Company 2.KlownMaster

take your laggy 60 dollar fees and your screaming kids with ya have funmariokart64fan

we as gamers should be happy when a great game comes around, not if it has perfect SP and MP. Drop your standards and be a little more realistic, who are we to demand anything? chaoscougar1

A lot of the time, developers will try to jump on the multiplayer bandwagon and try to add a tacked on, sub-par multiplayer portion to their singleplayer game, and the both singleplayer and multiplayer portions wind up suffering since their efforts aren't well focused. As a result of this, the market gets saturated with linear, 5-hour, cakewalk-in-the-park, FPS games that have mostly generic multiplayer portions. I'd rather a developer focus their efforts of developing a game towards making either a solid singleplayer or solid multiplayer. Games that are good on both counts are very rarely made.Xeros606

no they shouldnt, there needs to be a balance otherwise it will get stale and repetitive. Oblivion, Fallout, Mass Effect are all fantastic as SP experiences and thats how they should stay, they ruined Bioshock by going online, sure it was fun, but it distracted away for the SPchaoscougar1

it always Puzzles me now, in 2010, when games are released and they dont have ANY online whatsoever...

now i agree that there are some Good single player games out there...some will say Fallout, Bioshock, Batman and so on.....but imagine how GOOD these games would be if you could go ONLINE with them....it would boost the replayability by 10x or even 100x.....once youv explored every nook and cranny, collected every hidden object and so on, the game becomes BORING...and there isnt ONE GAME that you can name that is not BORING at some point once youv played it out...

people want to play Online...they want to compete with actual human beings on their level of intelligence and cunning so as to Test Themselves and push their game to the Limit in Difficulty and Realism in gaming...they want to play with their friends and create Unforgettable Moments that can ONLY HAPPEN when you play with an actual Person. im sure All of you can name quite a few Moments in your Gaming History that have been EPIC during an onlinemultiplayer game...

now stop and think about these moments...and ask yourself...why cant these moments be created in EVERY game????

the truth is...as we venture on into Oblivion...online gaming is a MUST of the FUTURE...and ALL games Will and SHOULD be required tohave it....and anyone who doesnt think so is lying to themselves....

....and how many hours do you think youv played it???

iv gotta go with Godfather 2. being a fan of all things Mob, i find it Thrilling to operate as a mobster in that game and run your family with an iron fist.id say iv played that game for about 300+ hours since its release 18 months ago...

GTA4 comes in Close Second, that game is a Blast online....

do you have to delete your account??? i refreshed the system so its at store baught default....and the account is free...so i dont have to delete it, right??? or should i call and have them do it anyway just to be safe??

and Why..please...
