ZJJ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Which do you think the developers of the PC version should put the most emphasis on? This community seems to be a large MP group. Should this rendition be a MP game only? Would the community be hurt drasitically if there wasn't a SP option? If the devs concentrate on giving us an awesome MP experience, should they spend more time on coop with a larger team or TvT with more gamemodes?

kretzj Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think the poll should have had a third option - BOTH. I am a huge fan of SP and MP. Choosing between them was painful. If I said SP, it was for me. But MP would benefit the entire GR community. I chose MP but honestly I am literally 50/50 on which mode I play. (I am referring to [GR] since GRAW has long since been uninstalled yet [GR] gets played at least once a week). -jk Callsign Fearful_Of_GRAW2 Edit - Clarification - I understand the poll asked "which should the developers focus on", thus tending to mean one OR the other... but I stand by my answer. What made [GR] so successful was a rich SP AND MP environment. One without the other will be considered a failure by 50% of the community.

WhiteKnight77 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think the poll should have had a third option - BOTH. Added. If you wish to change your vote to both. Let us know and someone shall fix it. I vote both myself (and one reason why I added it too) with Coop for the MP portion. I think the devs should concentrate on both and not just one portion of the game as there are many who play both after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoQuarter Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 SP for me. If it is the case where the devs allocate the majority of their efforts on MP and not round out the single player options (or make it compatible w/GR3) IMO it won't stand on its own. ___ Off topic: Emphasis... More simulation, less game, and no Hollywood. And now I'm really in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeystick Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 SP and Co-op. It's not Tom Clancy nor Ghost Recon without good singeplayer IMO. AI, story and gameplay are vital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 one thing that needs to be addressed is, modding. being able to work a map to use them for SP missions, TVT games or custom game types. draw distance needs to be a adjustable thing too. this way if PC's get stronger, which they will, we can adjust for longer view distances which will = longer shots for snipers and riflemen. end of my 2 cents.

Sup Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Both/coop. If I had to pick, for pc gr, Singleplayer. 360 version I'd say both/coop too, but I guess that's another thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritzl Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Though exclusively offline thus far wrt GRAW, I voted both because the option to go online and enjoy an immersive gameplay experience is great. What offline sorely needs though is more open-ended gameplay and/or a longer campaign. Anything less than 50 hours of offline gameplay (1$/hour) isn't going to cut it for me.

No offense, but, really, that's nonsense. Weigh the next movie ticket you buy with that dollar/hour rule and see how far you get. Also consider how little goes into a movie (acting, design, construction, music) compared to a videogame (Acting, design, construction, music, testing, programming, cross platform development, optimization, and so on...)

Pritzl Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) 50 hours? No offense, but, really, that's nonsense. None taken. I am well aware of what goes into making a game though and the budgets of some games are indeed approaching those of Hollywood blockbusters. (not just there yet though) I still stand by my 50 hour requirement regardless. It may be irrational but those are my expectations. FYI, I rarely if ever go out to the movies anymore. If I really like the movie, I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD. $3.49 for a 2 hour movie comes out to less than $2/hour.

Toniezz Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 GRAW1 was mainly focussed on SP campaign. With the notice in mind that the X360 only had a campaign of 6 hours (6 levels) I would go for a focus on multiplayer COOP ([GR]). Just like the poll says they should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dporter Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 My votes were for MP and COOP. The reason I didn't vote for both SP and MP is that if the COOP is done right, you should be able to play all the single player missions in COOP mode. If you didn't want to get online and play with others just creat your own LAN game and then have the option to have AI for teammates or go solo and play whatever mission you like. I'm not really fond of SP campaigns. The whole time I'm playing a mission I'm sitting there wishing I had more intelligent people to work with. Someone I can talk to over the head set and we can communicate back and forth what we are seeing. If COOP is done right and well, there should be no need for a single player campaign.

CSF_DeadManWalking Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Definitely MP, both TvT and Coop. Personally i didn't even finished the SP campaign, it didn't excite me as much as playing with human teammates or foes, which is enormously better and longlasting. But the problems of MP in GRAW were soooo big that really made a lot of people here in Italy leave it in favour of other games.... So this time, please, give us a fully implemented MP mode in GRAW2!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishStout Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I play the SP mission but once I complete it .. I rarely go back to it. Kind of .. seen it done it.. therefore I play online more then anything else.. TvT and Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Cliffy B perfectly sums it up about SP/MP: People come for the single player and stay for the multiplayer and co-op. It's as simple as that and a similar thing could be said about graphics. They come for the graphics but they stay for the gameplay. http://www.gearheadsofwar.com/story/2006/8/7/20439/29109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
