It seems nowadays that you can’t play a video game without having multiple people attached – other players, social media connections, always online DRM… is the simple one player game dying?

Can’t wait to see how this works out
Aw man, I can’t believe I missed it
And you got Xenoblade Chronicles, Roo! I am so jealous. I’m actually picking it up later this month.
I always wished Ogre Battle had multiplayer. See how my army would stack up against others. I wish single player was dead. I want more games I can play with my wife and kids. Especially action rpgs.
I actually think that standard 2P games have kind of died. Co-Op has pretty well replaced it.
The simple single-player game is a dying breed. Oh Roo, you’ve got Xenoblade Chronicles. It’s a fantastic game, played it last year.
Nah. People just forget how like EVERY game had multiplayer back in the day. Few and far between the Atari game that didn’t. Tons of arcade beat-um/shoot-um-ups. Even FF6 had a multiplayer option (and RPGs were not popular then. MK and SF2 ruled the roost.). Even during the hay-day of single-player around like the ps1-2 era there were still alot of local co-op multiplayer games. Multiplayer has just taken a slightly different form. Fewer and fewer have local multiplayer. More and more have online multiplayer. Or like Sonic-Rose says. Few with turn-based multiplayer.
Halo 4 DOESN’T have the best Halo campaign. Halo: Combat Evolved is still the best single-player Halo game.
