That doesn't really matter, it was relevant to the point I was making about the game I was discussing before we decided to talk strictly old school gaming.Originally Posted by j_factor
Yes it's gone but I've also played thru the single player campaign multiple times so it's not like the game is unplayable without the online play in the way that certain versions of Phantasy Star Online are.My point is, a large part of that game's appeal was the online multiplayer, and that is now gone.
There you go trying to assume your opinion is fact. Thats simply not the case in an opinionated thread(where the OP is asking each respondant their opinion) like this. Now that Halo 2's multiplayer is no longer live I compare it's single player campaign to that of the single player games back then that had no online component. And from there it's decided rather they have lost their appeal based on rather I still play them or not, not based on if they lost a portion of their gameplay.Other games from that time that didn't rely on online multiplayer still have the same appeal that they did back then (for the most part). Therefore, online multiplayer is detrimental to a game retaining its appeal.
Unless you can forsee the future(and you can't) you have no idea what games will lose their appeal to me. I do play a majority of games from this gen but ever since we decided to narrow this discussion down to old school games(pre 6th generation I guess) I've already stated my opinion on how many of those games have already lost their appeal to me to the point where I'd rather play something more current.You're only playing relatively new games, then. These are games that will lose their appeal over time. They're just not that old yet.
I'm really not sure why you are still going on about this. You aren't going to get a "you're right" because you aren't right in relation to how I feel about games that lose their appeal, rather thats games from the last six years or the last 25 years.
