Title: POLL: Game features
Post by: Toasty0 on December 28, 2003, 12:12:55 am
When you buy a game other than an RPG does the inlcusion of a campaign (single player) rate high on your expections?


Campaign in single player
No campaign? What are you, crazy?
I might play it once or twice, but multiplayer is the feature I want!
I'd rather have a good story line than a campaign
Campaigns? Is there any thing else?
I can't believe I'm answering another poll!





Thanks everyone for answering.

Best,
Jerry

I voted for story. No matter how pretty the game is, if it bores me, it won't stay on my HD for long.

You left out a voting option, both a good story line and good campaigns. With both a game will usually have excellent replayability.

The great worth in RPGs is the ability to tell a story.  NWN has that feature with tools that allow for distinct styles in storytelling.  A work of genius I might add.

Here here. As far as other Games,yes a SP game is Good, Esp. For those with Poor Connections, But multiPlayer should also be there.

Hehe, remember when MultiPlayer was an after thought for most Games?

Campaigns are a must in my book, as I'm a fan of SFC and WW2 naval sims.

Single player campaign is a good lead-in to a mulitplayer system.  What is lacking in muitiplayer is any story-driven elements.  Most multiplayer action seems to be simple missions that allow people to interact (variant of capture the flag), the D2 is such an example in some respects.

Will take a huge interest in the campaign at the beginning, but half way I take a look at the multiplayer and never go back..happens every time, hence my vote for b (I think)

 Campaigns & multi player. I use the campaign to train up then go to multiplayer to get a real challenge.
