Fair enough, R&C has always been about the singleplayer anyway.

i actually think the series went into decline when they started the MP aspect.

Of course online would work much better. But still, the main adventure shouldn't suffer because of it.

Ratchet 4 sucked bigtime because of it.

The typical Ratchet player, like he says, couldn't care less about multi-player. Insomniac should put multiplayer in the Resistance series (hard to imagine there won't be at least one sequel) and just offer a great single player experience via Ratchet & Clank. Although this might piss off the average video game journalist that takes at least a point off of every review score if there isn't any multiplayer, disregarding the fact that their readership in general doesn't care about it at all.

I'm more dissappointed that reviewers seem to think the game needs it, why can't we just have a great SP game? How many MP games do consoles really need?

Yeah. I'm getting sick and tired of this "complete package" crap.

How long do we we play games. Especially with all the games coming out now. I finish it in a couple of weeks and never touch it again. And how many MP games are people gonna play anyway. WOW, Halo, Gears, CoD, have the genre pretty much covered.

The best example of taking it to extremes in journalism was the Halo 3 Edge review. It wasn't even about the game anymore. They even admitted it had crap bits. And it still got a ten because of "complete package". Options, modes, community are more important for them than the actual game play or single player experience it seems. While most people never play online at all.

Maybe only 5% played only because in general the PS2 network was cack - MP in R&C probably would be quite popular because the game is. I agree though, personally speaking I would much rather have a quality single player game. Leave the MP to the obvious candidates.

Games need to specialize and not try to please everyone if gaming ever hopes to become a serious form of entertainment. Multiplayer-only Warhawk was an excellent idea: great game, attractive price. I hope the same will happen with MGS4, though there it looks more like trying to get the gamer's cash twice (with the two titles being developed and released at the same time).

Ratchet is good as it is..., doesn't need multiplayer.
I actually have dificult to imagine multiplayer in game like Ratchet.

I think they should focus on the single player too, sounds like spreading themselves too thin by trying to get multiplayer online sorted.
