Re: So what do we think then . . .

In Response To: So what do we think then . . . (Jillybean)


: What do we think about making the line between multiplayer games and campaign
: games very clear? What little I've played of Team Fortress I've found
: quite amusing - the many different classes and skills make that more
: replayable for me. And by contrast you get the campaign orientated games
: of Half-Life or Portal?

: Perhaps games fail when they try to do both.

: (Although using the word 'fail' to describe Halo 2 or Halo 3 in any respect
: is a very stupid choice - perhaps instead of 'fail' I'd say the division
: of labour results in short comings?) So for example, if there were going
: to be more Halo games should there simply be campaign OR multiplayer
: games? Personally I quite like that approach. After all, why pay for half
: a game you're only going to use rarely?

: On the other hand - Mirrors Edge retained so much replayability [shut up it's
: a word] for me because I could sit and compare my score to other on X Box
: Live and download their ghosts. That kind of competitiveness really
: appealed to me.

The thing is i actually still play the campeign on the odd occassion (maybe im the only one that enjoyed it- i thaught it was excellent) - the fact is campeign games dont last me anywhere near as long as multiplayer games do.

for me mirrors edge lasted me one run through and then got dull, once youve run through a level i find it a bit boring running through the same level again, even if you are trying to improve your speed.

in the same regards as i would find a halo speedrun a bit dull to attempt.

but yeah in regards to 'ghosts', i dont really ever get much use out of them - i prefer a real opponent to a ai opponent or a 'ghost'
