General Discussion

With the Bazillions of $$$$$$ being spent on Online games that do not meet the Standards that you want in an online Game.

Do you think  it would have been worth the time and money they spent to make Single Player type games?

Then wouldnt it be called a RolePlaying Game rather than a Massive Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Game?  Assuming a game is singleplayer and roleplaying that is.

He's trying to suggest that they should have made single player games INSTEAD of MMOs. The actual terms used to describe the two genres are not on trial here.

Well codemasters were doing that with overlord and a couple other console titles.  They made some MMO's.

You need to work on your reading comprehension, I think.

That said, I don't think Codemasters should EVER be used as an example of what a gaming company should be. Their failures and disgusting tactics more than make up for whatever small details they may have gotten right.

Hell, just think of how many good games they could have made.

Considering the state of some of the games released in the last year or so, I say they should be weaving baskets rather than making games at all.

Yeah, but I am still waiting for a single player to meet my standards of being Massively Multi-Player.

I voted YES.  AAA MMOs take a ridiculous amount of money to make.  And, to be honest, I get much more play time out of a really good single player game than I do from a mediocre, cookie cutter MMO.  IMHO, if you're not going to make a game that truely lives up to the "MMO" title, then don't even bother trying to pretend.

Since WoWs release they have all been single player rpgs anyway, including WoW.
