Single-player games "gone in 3 years"

Gears of War 3 is NOT a single player game. It is a CO-OP game that can be played alone.HilbillyRokstar

Just remember that if you say that its not a single-player game, you effectively mean to me that there is no way to play it alone (like MAG, for instance). And funnily enough, you immediately contradict yourself by saying that you can play it alone! Make up your mind!!!

And Rainbow Six Vegas and Gears of War does have an offline, single-player mode (which no one can join in on), so I don't really understand your statement. Do you see the term "single-player" as a genre? or as a mode?

I don't care if developers tack on multiplayer options to core single-player genres like RPGs, as long as they don't do so at the expense of the single-player experience. Speaking for myself (but probably echoing plenty of gamers), I don't always WANT to interact with other people when I play.Elraptor

I hope we don't see single-player games disappear. I prefer single-player over multiplayer. I like the story, characters, settings, and the awesome, memorable moments of campaigns. You can't go wrong with the solitude and unwinding of playing single player. IMO, multiplayer can tend to be mindless and you have to worry about cheaters, not to mention that lobbies are full of immature adults and kids talking nonsense incessantly.

Single-player games add up to be about 89% of the games that I cherish due to their unforgettable campaigns and the feeling that only YOU get to accomplish something. Most multiplayer games make it seem like you don't have a spine and need help from others.

So using your theory would mega man be multiplayer because you fight AI bosses? Single player will never die out.javafriek

Exactly, although I think you meant to say co-op and not multiplayer. Super Mario Bros is the original co-op game! LOL. Single player games will not be gone, probably ever. The guy who wrote the original article just wanted something to write about.

Not reading all of that wall (use paragraphs) but they def wont be.
