Hey everyone, I really hope you enjoyed my new video! Let me know how you feel about the future of single player games in the comments. Do you think they'll gain or lose popularity in the coming years? Of course, it's only with your support that I can continue to make these longer, high quality videos for you all. Please consider supporting me at www.Patreon.com/RobinGaming for just $1 per month or more if you can miss it, so I can keep doing so and to get many cool rewards in return. Thanks for watching!
RobinGaming seems like there will always be more hype around cool single player games, but most people will stick to multiplayer games where they can play with their friends. People will spend more hours and money playing multiplayer games that they'll like with their friends, rather spending 60€ on a single player game that's not guaranteed they'll like or finish
Great Job! Again you show us how passionate you are about gaming and what's to come in the future. I always look forward to your videos because I know how much time & energy you invest in making them. Thanks again! And we'll be waiting on more great content!
@FatalPies shhh EA might be reading your comment and decide to enter and destroy the singleplayer game industry like they allmost did with the multiplayer industry
Agreed. 20 years from now the multiplayer games are going to basically be, "just stfo and give me your money." and the dlc will be "content? you want content? f*** content. here's a coloring book. >rips the money out of your hand and tosses coloring book into your face
Blizzard has took a step in that direction, by making Diablo 3 playable in online only. Unless gamers unite in protest against stuff like that (pre-orders , shitty/redundant DLC , unfinished/bugged releases etc.) it will only become more common.
Ya know, they might be right, on the PC side. I'm not advocating OC master race, but PC used to have top notch indie single player games, but got ostracized by their publishers.
EA Accountants: We made over $10 million in profits last year. EA Executives: Yeah, but it's not all the money in the world, we will have to work harder.
If only you spent as much time on learning English as you do on playing video games. harharhar. "Single player HAS BEEN and forever WILL be the DNA of gaming". FIXED Will be and forever be is honestly the funniest attempt at English I've read in weeks. Kekeke.
Honestly, I can hardly stand multiplayer games. My most enjoyable experience is where I can get lost in the world and story instead of having to constantly mute kids and angry people who are both flooding the voice channels with screaming and deal with trolls.
I fear you may have a very one dimensional view of multiplayer games, try too keep in mind that multiplayer ≠ CS:GO. There are too many decent singleplayer + multiplayer games to list them here, so I'll go about some online-only games I really like: -"Anyland", lots of reasonable people in their own sandbox worlds with socialising aspects -"Ascent - The Space Game", dumped 22 hours into it within a single session and never touched it again because I was scared to get lost in it -"Homebrew - Patent Unknown" (arguably, as you (usually) are always connected but not necessarily on a server), just some building fun in a friendly community I know those are just 3, but it is surprisingly difficult to find any multiplayer exclusives in my library. Then again... even COD is sp+mp, so no surprise really.
EA: "If we don't give customers what they want, they will start wanting what we give." Perfect businessman logic but works only if you're a monopoly and luckily, EA is far from it.
Personally, i prefer to play single player games. I enjoy the story much more and get more involved in it. I can play at my own pace and don't have to think of other players in the game or who wants to try to direct everyone.
Last year, 80% of my game buying was purchasing older games. I bought exactly one game that has multiplayer. And I haven't touched the multiplayer mode.
not to mention that multiplayer games tends to be a repetition meltdown: wait to get match, kill a bunch of people, die, lose or win the game, repeat. it's a very rare ocasion to multiplayer games to not follow this kind of path. EDIT: PACKAGE LOSS I FORGOT ABOUT FUCKING PACKAGE LOSS (brain cancer inducing).
same here, i play games to "live another life" for a while, i dont play to hear some kid screaming about banging my mother while just running around shooting people on 4 fairly small maps that are on repeat (unless you buy the 5 map packs for $20 each to unlock the full game). closest thing i have been to a multiplayer game these past years was bloodborne, wich i played offline because i didnt want messages to ruin the experience.
@@RobKohr Haven't you heard the saying "the money is always right". And tell the customer what he wants and soon he will want it. I personally like the: "we've been listening to our customers and now we've given them what they wanted". You must know in our era BS reigns supreme.
It should be, but that's not how modern culture ist working anymore. The companies have become too big, so they have full control on anything. Not only for games btw.
Single player games are better, but as a consumer with limited money, I get more time out of an online game. There's no real solution, but it makes me sad
@@ericw1340 of course we spend more time online with multiplayer with a game that never ends. But I enjoy my time more with the single player campaigns.
@@Trisoz I have nothing against playing multi-player online. It just seems like in some respects it takes too much of your time up. And I would rather play a more satisfying story-driven single player game. Even today I was playing Black Ops 3 multiplayer. I realize the reason why I didn't buy that one though after buying the first two Black Ops 1 and 2. Black Ops 3 was free on the PlayStation Plus. It's a little bit too off base from the first two on how it plays. Just like I thought.
Gejamugam Latsoomanam Firstly, GOW is Open World. Secondly, Both Uncharted 4 and TLOU have a multiplayer mode Thirdly, even if that is discarded, these games are only a handful of linear titles that have achieved great success. But for every GOW or Uncharted, there are 10 more linear games that don’t do amazing and 10 open world and multiplayer games that do. If 1 linear game every 2 years makes it into the top 10 best sellers list while the rest are multiplayer or open world, then that’s not as convincing to publishers as if linear games were always in the top 10
You can never go wrong with PlayStation when it comes to quality cinematic and interactively story driven experiences. They are the kings in that category. 🚫🧢
I don't want to be mean or negative but what is special about TLOU and the first uncharted (I haven't played the rest) yes TLOU is great in many departments but gameplay and story wise it' not really that great it's mediocre at best.
The greatest games of all time are always single player games and may have an additional multiplayer mode. I have never owned or would purchase a multi player only game. I will only support games that won't become worthless after servers close down.
I am still in Skyrim (single player and modded). It still has a huge core of fans....for a 7+ year old game that is incredible!!! Does the industry learn from examples like this? No! The likes of EA TELL us what we want...hype up some propaganda and try to make the real market trend follow what they WANT it to be. Then...belatedly...they slowly realise people in reality spend differently from all the published lies they fool themselves with, and make changes. But always the industry is playing catch up with real players desires simply because they REFUSE to provide what the consumer wants.
The reason I play video-games is because I'm feeling tired and want to be left alone and enjoy myself. I want to enjoy a good story, an adventure, experience. I do not consider getting called "you suck FAG!" as any semblance of a good time. I call that work, and have enough of that during the day already. So yeah, if they ever stop making single-player games? Then i'm giving up video-games too. Will NEVER be a fan of multiplayer, and that's the way it is.
@PurpleStratocaster So you purchased a game. paid for it's sub(probably). Which was designed for multiplayer in mind. Missed out on a good chunk of the game due to that(raids,dungeons). which aren't even remotely competitive outside of groups that are aiming for firsts. I hope you got value out of that money spent. So you must've have like all the alts.
@Allan Cameron : 'tired' as in tired of people. Introvert, see? But i bet even extroverts don't want to take abuse all the entire waking hours non-stop. As for 'feeling antisocial' , there's nothing 'antisocial' about not willing to play multiplayer games where people would just try to rob my stuff and call out insults non stop. In fact if you actually consider that as good time, it's you who need the help. (edit) to cut this short: if you imply that 'i need help', and i'll imply back that it's actually you who 'need help'. Respect my personaly preference, respect my choice, and i'll respect your preference/choice too.
@@gendoruwo6322 Yeah! I'm an extrovert, but I hate multiplayer games, EXCEPT some sports games. I just find them very repetitive and boring. There are much better ways to spend time with real friends than in a brain-dead multiplayer shooter...
@@metalhead4667 online games charge you like 100 bucks with expansions just so that you can be some insignificant guy in a crowd of other insignificant guys
I hate multiplayer games. If i want to play videogames with other people i just invite friends over, get several large pizzas, beer, doritos, sodas and just have fun passing the controller around. Playing online with strangers who are so quick to grief you while they throw insults at you right and left as they have rap blasting loud in the background is not my ideal of fun. Game creators who just focus on multiplayer and microtransactions are just greedy and plain lazy in not trying to create a great story.
I'm an omnicrafter in FFXIV. The game Final Fantasy XIV is the exception to what they say in this video. That's because FFXIV has a serious single player , story driven aspect to it. I call FFXIV the only true crossover between single player campaign and MMORPG play. The Player levels up, does tons of solo quests, and the main storyline , excluding some dungeons, is pretty much NPC interactive and SOLO. What FFXIV does is charge monthly Subscription fees, and provide new packs to all members of the club every 2-3 months. Every 2 years or so, a totally new chapter in the main story is introduced , and people don't pay for expansions or DLC's . How would you classify FFXIV???? Is it the successful hybrid Ithink it is? I've it for an entire month with minimal player interaction, and had a blast.
@@LikaLaruku Yes, I never really got into the guild part and guild raiding in WoW. Always relied on global channels to find some random people. Didn't always work out but I did have a lot of fun.
I have a hard time finding the time to meet with my friends irl to play video games though. With life getting busier and busier, later and later into our 20's we hardly have the time to play more than a couple of games of some moba's a week together before everyone has to get back to their things. Meeting up is like this big event we do every ~2 months or so when we have a couple days off where we play D&D. I can't imagine I'm unique in that aspect, so there is some utility in multiplayer games.
I buy mostly single player focused games. If they stop making single player games, I guess I'll stop buying games. Not really interested in multiplayer games a whole lot.
I'll never forgive EA for shutting down Visceral Games. Dead Space 1 & 2 are incredible. I'll never buy a game without an offline single player campaign.
Everytime I have a friend who I bring over to my house to hangout, I show off my ps4 but I never show off any multiplayer games but instead games like god of war and uncharted 4. I love to see their reactions and I see the same curiosity and attachment they have towards the game that I had when I played them for the first time. We will never truly get sick of single player games.
I consider myself casual player - I don't spend hours and hours infront of a screen. I like story driven games for single players, no matter what particular genre. If I really want multiplayer, I meet with my pals for D&D. But for PC gaming? It's single player or nothing at all.
But all the great singleplayer games these days are ps4 exlusives, so i guess you missed a shit ton. Before you start raging, im both PC and console player, but ffs i cant find a decent singleplayergame on PC that isnt on ps4 already. And like i said, the best are ps4 exclusives :/
@@makmedia_tv No problem man - I am also sure I missed "a shit ton", but I am 41, and consider myself a casual gamer. I still play L4D, XCOM, Deadlight and stuff like that. I don't play the latest shit, especially if it's multiplayer - mostly because I aint got the time. Well, I suppose what a "decent" single player game is, is completely up to taste. As I said- I like story driven games. Or a certain atmosphere (like L4D, Limbo). You see, I started as a twelve year old with NES, later on Super NES, and then stranded on PC. I am accustomed to a certain type of game - guess it's my age, but no, I am not starting a rant about "everything was better then" or about new games in general. But, I think nontheless that single player games will be there forever in some way :)
@@shaihulud4515 Totally understandable, it makes me envy your age a bit actually. There are so many older games I want to try and enjoy for the story but it's just so hard because of the limitations of the older stuff that I can't get used to. Even Final Fantasy 7 and Silent Hill 2 were pretty unbearable in terms of gameplay.
@@eilrahc3586 Actually that's something that sometimes happens to me also: you get very used to on point accuracy of a mdern game pad or the visuals past 2012, and the way games are set today. But then I find myself playing Super Metroid for the hundretht time, or Super Mario 3, Breath of Fire II or Shadowrun, A Link to the past... these are timeless classics from Nintendo that are playable today despite the lack in graphics. I guess that defines a classic. But I also remember the tension when Bioshock first arrived, heck even DOOM and DOOM II. They may be good examples: I totally enjoyed DOOM 2. DOOM 3 had a good story IMO, so I liked it, though it had it's not so shiny sides. The new DOOM simply isn't my piece of cake. It's just too fast to be enjoyable for me, and I don't like my enemies pop into diamonds and neon gadgets for health- or weapon upgrades. If you can get your hands on old console games - give them a try, there are plenty of titles out there that are still good to play even by the standards of today :)
When companies say "gamers only want multiplayer experiences" they're really saying, "They WANT gamers to want only multiplayer experiences because it makes us more money"
The fact of the matter is simple: People love good stories. You don't get good story from multiplayer. I've been gaming since gaming was invented, and one thing I've noticed above all else... everything is cyclic. As you said, variety is the key. Excellent vid dude. Subbed.
I’m not looking forward to Fallout 76 for this reason. There is no need to have turned a good single player experience into a multiplayer game. It completely ruins the whole point of it being a “wasteland” where there is barely anyone left
right? they also went and ruined tes by doing the elder scrolls online well fuck that tes is only single player game morrowind oblivion and skyrim those are real elder scrolls games
1. The biggest issue of big video game companies (EA, Activision etc.) is that they are comprised by old school business men, who make decisions based on statistical data and doesn´t take into account what their consumers want. They are firms and therefore care about maximising their profit. 2. Consumers in this industry are still idiots (it is becoming better through the years). They accept shit and therefore get shit. Compared to other industries the products that companies sell doesn´t affect health and as a result of that consumers tolerate the present situation hoping for a better future. 3. The only real solution is total boycot of those products that doesn´t fulfil what the consumer demand. But as the consumer base is populated largely with children it´s destined for annual COD titles for now.
I think there is nothing wrong with a new CoD every year. If it is bought? Alright, keep doing it. But there is no need to disband popular singleplayer series or shift them towards multiplayer. For example mass Effect andromeda. The whole game felt like amultiplayer game (multiplayer optimized classes and balanced out for it etc. Though there have been other problems like switching story for open world)
i think the problem with whats wrong is the end of your statement. that kids largely populate the gamer base. I dont feel thats true, and if it is i feel its bcse of that statement that adults dont play as much. Bcse "games are for kids and teens."
Single player: you are a badass, no one can kill you, do what ever you want to do. Multiplayer: you get kill 20 times by a guy who haven't take a single damage since the match start
There's no better multiplayer than split screen multiplayer. Real interaction face to face. The online scene brought out the worst in people, though it also revealed a dangerously large amount of unfit parents. I personally play video games to escape the real world, not deal with it even more. I have enough screeching and idiocy in real life, I don't need it in my hobby. I do know a thing or two about Marketing, seeing as I worked in it, and I'll say this: when a company says "single player is dying", they're trying to manipulate the gullible one-digit long IQ masses into buying their online micro-transaction filled yearly releases of the same game. Fact is, most people still want a single player mode. Metro is the perfect example. Even with the arguably anti-consumer practices prior to its launching, it is my understanding that it's a success. People generally do not want to listen to the screeching of 12 year olds playing M Rated games, they want to come home after a long day, sit down, turn on their PC or console and just lose themselves for a while.
I have evidence to support what you're saying here back in the day when you played an MMO you had to be respectful on your server she wanted a spot in the team you couldn't be the trash that we see in MMO's today Along comes at instant queue Auto group's excetera and you see the trash be able to get into groups and basically troll everyone
Anyone who wants single player games to die doesn't understand the full demographic of gamers. Sure, I'll play multiplayer games every now and then, but single player games are what keep my attention longer. I've got over 200 games in my library, some with multiplayer elements, but the single player segments are what I really play for.
Thank you for clearing things up and standing up for singleplayer-games. I love them. It's so relaxing to be able to play at my own pace, as hardcore or as leisurely as I want, and where success is dependent on me and me alone.
Damn this was such a high quality video, your content even if it's just once a week really has stepped up and I'm definitely going to become a patreon once I get paid. Now onto the topic. Yes for me singleplayer games never really died it's just they all started to become samey in that they were becoming open world with chores. Last year for me was mostly dreadful, in March alone it was pretty much just all open world games that all looked the same and the one that annoyed me the most was ghost recon. They changed it from a single player tactical shooter that I loved to a division clone. There were a few exceptions last year but I ended up mostly on mp. This year has been really good, god of war, detroit, finally got round to hellblade, and plenty more. We need variety. Not just singleplayer or just multiplayer or even just open world, but a healthy mixture of all. End of this year will have just that aswell which is great
Thanks a lot man! Yeah there's most definitely reason to argue about the quality and variety of single player games recently as well, maybe something for another video sometime :)
Multiplayer is porn: fast, superficial and not very fullfilling in the end (be honest about it). With single player, you can do ART, story-telling and much more... You can turn a Miyazaki movie into a single player game. Good luck making a MEANINGFUL multiplayer out of it. Every story, every character we love tells/lives a DAMN STORY. You can have action in a story but there's no story in a mp, just moments.
Why would you want to turn a movie into a video game? that's like paying someone to shovel your driveway and then going out and helping him shovel... I would rather read a book then play a story driven single player game... and I hate reading books
Depends on the multiplayer game. If you play something like WoW, it is unfulfilling and you lose by simply playing it. Same goes for a lot of other games. Then there's stuff like LoL and such where you lose by engaging with other players and that's not fulfilling either. Anything where you have to interact with other players will result in quite a few bad experiences, usually more than good ones. And don't even get me started on the time that is lost.
Followed by Spyro, Spiderman, The Last Of Us II and Ghost Of Tsushima. All guaranteed to sell over 1 million copies as long as they're not disastrous letdowns.
TheMasterQuests By the end of 2018? I honestly wouldn’t doubt it. The Limited Edition Spider-Man PS4 Pro sold out like crazy almost everywhere, and the Collector’s Box Edition sold out almost immediately. It’s crazy to think that a Spider-Man game is seeing this level of hype and pre-success. I can’t wait to see what all of the gaming news sites report about it’s sales stats during its release week.
I feel like in the long run, RDR2 will be known for it's multiplayer mode and probably microtransactions. But during 2018, people will probably buy it for the singleplayer and it will sell like crazy.
I actually refuse to play multiplayer games because of this. I don't want to contribute to the corporatist greed behind games that are relatively cheap to design and can rake in a lot of money through scams like microtransactions. Multiplayer games are the reality television of the gaming world.
I completely agree. I will NEVER purchase DLC or pay for any subscription ever. God of war is the PERFECT example of how a game should be made. No dlc, no multiplayer, no microtransactions, etc. All of the content is there for the price of the game. Other companies would have just took content out and then charged you if you wanted to go to muspelheim or some shit. I wish multiplayer games would die. I fucking hate service based games. And to this day, despite having gamed a minimum of 4 hours a day every day in my 30 years of life, I have refused to play a single multiplayer game or pay for a service. I will ONLY play AAA single player story games. Personally, I believe nothing would be better than for multilayer to die off. Only fake gamers play multiplayer any way.
Single player games can't ever die Not everyone really likes multiplayer . A good example is fallout 76 the franchise is ruined just because of multiplayer
I mean it is stupid as fuck. If you have a popular singleplayer series, why start to change it towards multiplayer? Even more with studios who are known for great singleplayergames. Why not accept what a studio is good at, instead of trying to change it to be multiplayer suddenly....
@@endlessnameless9381 Im 20 years. I hope im not already to old for games. I just hope that some of those companies like EA and other companies who only want profit get smaller and some CEOs and developer get bigger which want to make great games again. Like Crytek was in the beginning. They sold FarCry and started Crysis because they wanted to push themselves, and not just continue a successfull series forever. But yes, maybe im nostalgic...
Well, considering the past couple years, there are plenty single player games from other sources. I myself has picked up Don't Starve, Witcher3, Hollow Knight and Kingdom Come: Deliverance over the past year. Past 2 years, maybe? I'm not an avid gamer, I read a lot, and I treat my games similarly to a good book.. I'm really happy with all of my purchases. I don't think any of them comes from the developers mentioned here?
Robin, sorry to go off topic like this, but this needs to be brought to your attention: The EU parliament is threatening to pass a new copyright directive called Article 13, which would require aggressive filtering of copyrighted material online which would be blocked in the EU. Imagine RUclips's totalitarian copyright system applied to the whole web, this is more or less attempt number two at SOPA. If this bill basses, europeans will no longer be able to enjoy the internet as we do now and what you do, uploading videos containing copyrighted gaming footage to RUclips would be impossible. We will lose everything if this bill passes, I implore you to make a video to bring more attention to it, we have until December or January when the vote will be held and we need to make as much noise about this as possible as fast as we can.
@@city__lights Nope, this was pushed through the completely democratic parliament too. It is not undemocratic, it is just full of idiots. and looking at the utter mess that the UK government is right now, it has lost the moral high ground. My advice is just to expect that everyone in politics is utterly stupid until proven otherwise. that way you don't live in a state of constant disappointment.
Developing a linear single player game allows for more mechanical complexity. I'll always prefer a linear campaign where I can delve deeper into the game's mechanics each time I play it over a game where the fun factor comes from playing it with others. Not saying this is a bad thing in the slightest, since having fun is the most important thing regardless of how you get there. It's simply my personal preference. Single player also appears to be the way to go if one likes a more focused gaming experience in terms of both narrative and characters. Plus, I just love to loosen up and immerse myself in a videogame during my own free time and not worry about anything else. That's just the absolute best ^^ P.S: And I'm not even taking into account the amount of toxicity present in today's online gaming scene. That's a whole different story lmao
JayfroC The "toxicity" you speak of was there since the early days of online gaming. There were actual flame wars in the Starcraft channels in 2000 and no one was surprised. Tons of fun and rage. Nothing has changed since then, it was always like that. Also, the more competitive the game is, the more people will rage.
True indeed! But I'm also referring to the lootbox and "pay to win" disease that's been spreading overt he last few years. That's a toxic business practice if I've ever seen one, it's almost sad.
Yeah, there’s also non-linear single player games, with their own niche audience. They may not be as mechanically fun, but people like me find fun in exploring the decisions I make and how I could shape the narrative and it’s characters.
I completely forgot to mention those! Yeah, open world games have totally different strengths from linear single-player games. I really like booting up stuff like The Witcher 3 or Oblivion just to immerse myself in those worlds, it's great.
RDR2, Death Stranding, Control, A plague tale innocence, Shadow of the tomb raider, assassins creed, Metro Exodus. These are literally the games that are preserving the genre
@John Gulotta The big plus with singleplayer is that you get a better sense of accomplishment when you do a quest all by yourself. Also you probably will rack up exp points and level up faster when you accomplish things by yourself as opposed to with someone else or group of others. I have some characters who have reached lvl 15 to 18 without dying once with several thousand enemy killed to their credit. That gives me a sense of great accomplishment when I achieved this without any assistance.
Preach. They don't want to be the best game ever, it just needs to make sales every year. A product that does that (multiplayer games) is like, the best thing ever in a capitalist sense. If my game made it big like God of War, great! But if I want to keep up my momentum, I have to make a game like that next year. Then the next year. Then the next year. And that's assuming I keep making it big. If I fail to deliver, that could mean the end of me. You can only play God of War or Uncharted once. Meanwhile, if I make something like PUBG that attracts new buyers every year, I'm set and don't need to work much for it. Games like PUBG are sort of a roguelike, the game is different everytime you play it.
Single player gaming as ALWAYS been over 90% of my games & in general these times, F U multiplayer! I wonder if I am a minority, but basically I dont play multiplayer because I HATE competitive gameplay. Before the end of 2017 if I remember, DragonBall Fighterz beta, I TRIED TO TRY, but it was IMPOSSIBLE! NOT because of internet problems, but so many people were already pro at the beta, I had no time learning how it worked, I would die in 30 seconds. ONLY Coop multi I like similar to Borderlands.
For me at 40 years old I enjoy variety, and a balanced blend of Single-player & MP games. I lean towards Single player because I work with people all day and my personal escape is to play a game at night to 'unwind from the work grind'...at my pace. I do not care for the rush of modern day Multiplayer games including the newer battle royale modes. I feel like I cannot even go to sleep after playing some of these games. It's much preferred to relax and enjoy a campaign or story driven single player game at my speed, be able to hit pause when I want to and not be bothered by other people in a lobby. One of the only times of the day I can truly have 'my time' and I do not want to sacrifice it.
This video amazingly expressed the way i feel about the single player state in video-games! One thing that made me truly happy was when Neil Druckmann boldly said in one of the conferences this year that ND will forever continue to make story driven single player titles! The industry can say what it wants...but it’s our responsibility to say what WE want even louder!
Portal 4ever I believe it was during the PSX this year on the tlou 2 pannel...i’m not quite sure. Ill try to look for it a bit later and tell you if i find it!
Portal 4ever ruclips.net/video/Ism8US41KGc/видео.html there you go good sir! The whole panel is interesting but the part you’re looking for will be at 41:29 mins 😄
Years later I'm still playing Skyrim and purchasing it yet again for the Special Edition.....because, you know......no one plays single player games anymore.
Ive never stopped playing borderlands, civ V, oblivion, skyrim, need for speed, NHL, Farcry 3 &5, and a long list of AC games all in offline mode. Online games usually just piss me off with the lag or toxic gamers
@@4pm462 no thats literally why most people like it. If any other company made a quality first person fantasy rpg bethesda would be fucked. But if now you want to know what i do in the game i do quests, build up homes and collections of gear, get pissed off about bugs, switch to the xbox 360 where i experience virtually no bugs, get let down by the leveling and switch back to oblivion lol
Saying Single player games are dying is quite bluntly greedy market manipulation. Neither single player or multiplayer need to be mutually exclusive. Who can remember the old NES games as a child. There were so many 2 player and 1 player games. They co existed in bliss. Nowadays though its all about corporate greed (GLARING PIERCINGLY AT YOU KONAMI!! I'M STILL UPSET ABOUT SILENT HILLS) How their supposed business models are the only actual truth to the industry. Fact is people game to be whissed away to a fantasy. Whether that fantasy be with friends or just a cool story. Learn to find a balance and see your customers happy and making you the profits you sold your souls for.
Single player games are an experience that multiplayer will never duplicate. Cooperative games, though few and far between, like A Way Out, can bring the same experience. EA is trying to speak for gamers in an effort to promote their agenda of multiplayer, microtransaction heavy games. The content in these games are set up around these microtransactions. Making them mandatory to get any full enjoyment out of the game. Pay to play after you've already paid $60 for the game. The games are not created for the gamer. They're created with monetization in mind. The developers of these multiplayer games hardly ever put forth any real effort to make the game without having to pay to compete or grind for long periods of time to catch up with those that have paid. Never will I believe that multiplayer is the future. I play a few multiplayer to bide my time until a new single player IP comes out. Right now that's Over Watch. And you can bet money if you want that when Spiderman PS4, AC Odyssey, Tomb Raider, and Metro release... Over Watch will be collecting layers upon layers of dust....
On the subject of Overwatch, looked interesting, but the lack of a single player campaign killed it for me. I unless it's FTP I don't really see the point of buying a multi player only game... (Kind of like why I don't really see the point of buying an MMO, because well... if it goes under and the server shuts down you no longer have a game to play, and all the money and time invested in it is gone.)
List of great single campaign games which I personally excited and anticipated: 1) Red dead redemption 2 2) The last of us part two 3) Ghost of Tsushima 4) Days gone 5) Death stranding 6) Sekiro shadow die twice 7) Spider man 8) Cyberpunk 2077 9) Call of Cthulhu 10) Control 11) Doom Eternal 12) Plague of tale 13) Wild 14) Resident Evil 2 remake 15) Metro exodus 16) Nioh 1,2 So future of single near 2-3 year is fine until next generation PS5
Their motivation is easy to understand not that hard, it's greed nothing more. They want to kill off the idea of single player games and increase the popularity of multiplayer games so they can continue to push the game as a service it's a lot easier to drain more money out of us in a multiplayer game then in the single player game which is why they do it. But they're always always caught by surprise when they're Surefire plan fails and they get pie on their face but well we know their type they always have a convenient scapegoat to take responsibility for their mistakes the only good thing we can take out of this is sooner or later they're going to run out of scapegoats or the ones who pushed his agenda in the first place are going to be next on The Chopping board. It always happens, and yet people will act insane and continue to pretend this s*** won't happen to them until it does.
@@nathaliegingras6633 well we all know who's the real ones who started this s*** the Triple-A companies. The other companies well the ones pushing so much multiplayer content than single player we're just playing follow-the-leader. Or the small minority of them were already doing multiplayer only first it's just the big name companies moved in, and stole their Dunder making something that was making them a good amount of money, and then extracting as much resources from it as possible, tapping it all out for the rest of them. You know how it is the bigger companies Wipe Out the smaller companies because they can afford early on to strangle hold everything all to try and bankrupt bar scare off all small competition that can't stand against them so they will be the solo individual eating up all the resource in that area. You can call AAA Studios the Harvesters from the Independence Day movies and just how greedy and stupid they are and stealing resources that dig easily get from uninhabited planets from others for no good reason other than well greed and inability to like any type of competition that keeps them from having as you stated all the money.
What will you do when your favorite multiplayer game server is under maintenance or your internet service is down for few hours...... Also Single player game is good for cool down your brain after a long heated & frustrated session of multiplayer games.
Well said, brother. Watching EA fail miserably again with Anthem in 2019 is even more "proof in the pudding." Here's to more single player games in the future!
I was hyped for the idea of multiplayer during the Dreamcast days when it was the first one to mainstream multiplayer with its 56k modem. Xbox live took it to the next level, and that was a very fun experience. But man, that shit got old. 16 years later, I still don't give a shit about multiplayer, and never will. Too boring. Live in room competition with sports or fighting games is real "multiplayer" fun
Absolutely. They want the Cash Cow Model. They want a captive audience for as few titles as possible, for as long as possible. Single player doesn't fit that Drug Dealer model.

you are simultaneously over and under thinking this issue. all industries are now operating on a "supply side" economic model. there is a lot more to this, college courses are given on this sort of thing. but the part that is relevant to the topic of your video is that large companies do not care what their customers want. they do not go out and do market research to find out what there is a demand for , then make that product. they figure out what product will make them the most money, how they can manipulate the availability of products in that category so that what makes them money will be the most easily accessible product in that category of products, then they go out and do market research to figure out how they can convince people that the thing that makes them money is desirable. at no point in this process do they allow what their customers actually want to influence the direction that they will take their company and their products in. they only think about what product their customers actually want once it is time to start manipulating their customers into buying the thing that they decided to make. if it does not sell even after they have spent lots and lots of money to try and get people to think they want it, they blame the customers for this. that is where all of those "milinials are killing this or that" ideas come from.
Why would you want to play a book or movie? defeats the purpose of the story if you have to create the story yourself.. also most video games stories are garbage in comparison to books/movies soo..
@@metalhead4667 "defeats the purpose of the story if you have to create the story yourself" Not if you like creating stories, or variations thereof. Book or movie can show what it's like in someone else's shoes. A game can put you in the shoes.
Single player games will never disappear - I will hold on to my collection forever. That way no matter what the grifters try, I will always have single player games to play.
I tried some multiplier games and I simply don't take it. The only reason I play games are awesome narratives and stunning graphics of single player games.
I got an eargasm when Cyberpunk's trailer music started playing , but for real the video couldn't be more right about the topic , i for one don't even play multiplayer games at all . Really loving the semi/weekly uploads robin , keep it up 🖐 . And yea finish Re7 goddamnit 😅
Yasser Osama retro wave is awesome I hope CD project red has some com truise and hello meteor in their sound track and some noir deco, it would win best soundtrack easily.
Honestly Singleplayer games have given me more of the most awesome moments in my gaming life. But multiplayer has given me the most moments when my adrenaline was pumping crazy. I think many can agree on this. However I think many will also agree, that if a game has a good sp, you are more inclined to go to the mp of that game aswell. If the industry decides to leave sp behind, then many gamers will leave aswell.
But a Singleplayer only game has still a better singleplayer than a combinated game. And a multiplayer only game has better multiplayer in most cases than a combinated game.

Hey everyone, I really hope you enjoyed my new video! Let me know how you feel about the future of single player games in the comments. Do you think they'll gain or lose popularity in the coming years? Of course, it's only with your support that I can continue to make these longer, high quality videos for you all. Please consider supporting me at www.Patreon.com/RobinGaming for just $1 per month or more if you can miss it, so I can keep doing so and to get many cool rewards in return. Thanks for watching!
RobinGaming seems like there will always be more hype around cool single player games, but most people will stick to multiplayer games where they can play with their friends. People will spend more hours and money playing multiplayer games that they'll like with their friends, rather spending 60€ on a single player game that's not guaranteed they'll like or finish
Great Job! Again you show us how passionate you are about gaming and what's to come in the future. I always look forward to your videos because I know how much time & energy you invest in making them. Thanks again! And we'll be waiting on more great content!

They cant overmonitize singleplayer so they want to get rid of it
@FatalPies shhh EA might be reading your comment and decide to enter and destroy the singleplayer game industry like they allmost did with the multiplayer industry
Agreed. 20 years from now the multiplayer games are going to basically be, "just stfo and give me your money." and the dlc will be "content? you want content? f*** content. here's a coloring book. >rips the money out of your hand and tosses coloring book into your face
Some have already tried to monetize singleplayer games, look at Middle-Earth Shadow of War and its lootboxes.
EA, hold my empty money bag
Blizzard has took a step in that direction, by making Diablo 3 playable in online only. Unless gamers unite in protest against stuff like that (pre-orders , shitty/redundant DLC , unfinished/bugged releases etc.) it will only become more common.

Agreed
what about singleplayer co-op :(? those are fun
I fear you may have a very one dimensional view of multiplayer games, try too keep in mind that multiplayer ≠ CS:GO.
There are too many decent singleplayer + multiplayer games to list them here, so I'll go about some online-only games I really like:
-"Anyland", lots of reasonable people in their own sandbox worlds with socialising aspects
-"Ascent - The Space Game", dumped 22 hours into it within a single session and never touched it again because I was scared to get lost in it
-"Homebrew - Patent Unknown" (arguably, as you (usually) are always connected but not necessarily on a server), just some building fun in a friendly community
I know those are just 3, but it is surprisingly difficult to find any multiplayer exclusives in my library. Then again... even COD is sp+mp, so no surprise really.
Yet to meet five decent people in a row on any multi-player. Most of these kids are douchebags. I fucking hate MP

EA: "If we don't give customers what they want, they will start wanting what we give."
Perfect businessman logic but works only if you're a monopoly and luckily, EA is far from it.
They are a monopoly in the Star Wars department but they seem to have learned a lesson from the backlash from BF2
Personally, i prefer to play single player games.
I enjoy the story much more and get more involved in it.
I can play at my own pace and don't have to think of other players in the game or who wants to try to direct everyone.
Last year, 80% of my game buying was purchasing older games. I bought exactly one game that has multiplayer. And I haven't touched the multiplayer mode.
not to mention that multiplayer games tends to be a repetition meltdown: wait to get match, kill a bunch of people, die, lose or win the game, repeat. it's a very rare ocasion to multiplayer games to not follow this kind of path.
EDIT: PACKAGE LOSS I FORGOT ABOUT FUCKING PACKAGE LOSS (brain cancer inducing).
The thing with campaigns is once you complete them that is it...
I prefer single player too, I can hang out by myself without worrying about getting sniped by a kill-obsessed lvl 150 player with aim assist.
same here, i play games to "live another life" for a while, i dont play to hear some kid screaming about banging my mother while just running around shooting people on 4 fairly small maps that are on repeat (unless you buy the 5 map packs for $20 each to unlock the full game). closest thing i have been to a multiplayer game these past years was bloodborne, wich i played offline because i didnt want messages to ruin the experience.

@@Trisoz I have nothing against playing multi-player online. It just seems like in some respects it takes too much of your time up. And I would rather play a more satisfying story-driven single player game. Even today I was playing Black Ops 3 multiplayer.

Big developers are saying linear SP titles are not popular. And that's true. The games you mentioned are Open World RPGs.
@@FraserSouris uncharted 4, The last of us, god of war, mario odessy are linear sp games and sold tons
Gejamugam Latsoomanam
Firstly, GOW is Open World.
Secondly, Both Uncharted 4 and TLOU have a multiplayer mode
Thirdly, even if that is discarded, these games are only a handful of linear titles that have achieved great success. But for every GOW or Uncharted, there are 10 more linear games that don’t do amazing and 10 open world and multiplayer games that do. If 1 linear game every 2 years makes it into the top 10 best sellers list while the rest are multiplayer or open world, then that’s not as convincing to publishers as if linear games were always in the top 10
Single player games will always be better to me then online games Uncharted, The Last of Us and God of War are games I'll never forget
Jack Griffin couldn't agree more my dude !

Skyrim Modding Community: fam.........
Fallout Modding Community: Eyy......
I am still in Skyrim (single player and modded). It still has a huge core of fans....for a 7+ year old game that is incredible!!! Does the industry learn from examples like this? No! The likes of EA TELL us what we want...hype up some propaganda and try to make the real market trend follow what they WANT it to be. Then...belatedly...they slowly realise people in reality spend differently from all the published lies they fool themselves with, and make changes. But always the industry is playing catch up with real players desires simply because they REFUSE to provide what the consumer wants.
The reason I play video-games is because I'm feeling tired and want to be left alone and enjoy myself. I want to enjoy a good story, an adventure, experience.
I do not consider getting called "you suck FAG!" as any semblance of a good time. I call that work, and have enough of that during the day already.
So yeah, if they ever stop making single-player games? Then i'm giving up video-games too.
Will NEVER be a fan of multiplayer, and that's the way it is.
@PurpleStratocaster So you purchased a game. paid for it's sub(probably). Which was designed for multiplayer in mind. Missed out on a good chunk of the game due to that(raids,dungeons). which aren't even remotely competitive outside of groups that are aiming for firsts. I hope you got value out of that money spent. So you must've have like all the alts.
@Allan Cameron : 'tired' as in tired of people. Introvert, see? But i bet even extroverts don't want to take abuse all the entire waking hours non-stop. As for 'feeling antisocial' , there's nothing 'antisocial' about not willing to play multiplayer games where people would just try to rob my stuff and call out insults non stop. In fact if you actually consider that as good time, it's you who need the help. (edit) to cut this short: if you imply that 'i need help', and i'll imply back that it's actually you who 'need help'. Respect my personaly preference, respect my choice, and i'll respect your preference/choice too.

Playing online with strangers who are so quick to grief you while they throw insults at you right and left as they have rap blasting loud in the background is not my ideal of fun. Game creators who just focus on multiplayer and microtransactions are just greedy and plain lazy in not trying to create a great story.
I'm an omnicrafter in FFXIV. The game Final Fantasy XIV is the exception to what they say in this video. That's because FFXIV has a serious single player , story driven aspect to it. I call FFXIV the only true crossover between single player campaign and MMORPG play. The Player levels up, does tons of solo quests, and the main storyline , excluding some dungeons, is pretty much NPC interactive and SOLO. What FFXIV does is charge monthly Subscription fees, and provide new packs to all members of the club every 2-3 months. Every 2 years or so, a totally new chapter in the main story is introduced , and people don't pay for expansions or DLC's .
How would you classify FFXIV???? Is it the successful hybrid Ithink it is? I've it for an entire month with minimal player interaction, and had a blast.

With life getting busier and busier, later and later into our 20's we hardly have the time to play more than a couple of games of some moba's a week together before everyone has to get back to their things. Meeting up is like this big event we do every ~2 months or so when we have a couple days off where we play D&D.
I can't imagine I'm unique in that aspect, so there is some utility in multiplayer games.
I buy mostly single player focused games. If they stop making single player games, I guess I'll stop buying games. Not really interested in multiplayer games a whole lot.

Online Multiplayer have always been the side dish to me,the main course will forever be the campaign
I consider myself casual player - I don't spend hours and hours infront of a screen. I like story driven games for single players, no matter what particular genre. If I really want multiplayer, I meet with my pals for D&D. But for PC gaming? It's single player or nothing at all.
But all the great singleplayer games these days are ps4 exlusives, so i guess you missed a shit ton. Before you start raging, im both PC and console player, but ffs i cant find
a decent singleplayergame on PC that isnt on ps4 already. And like i said, the best are ps4 exclusives :/
@@makmedia_tv No problem man - I am also sure I missed "a shit ton", but I am 41, and consider myself a casual gamer. I still play L4D, XCOM, Deadlight and stuff like that. I don't play the latest shit, especially if it's multiplayer - mostly because I aint got the time. Well, I suppose what a "decent" single player game is, is completely up to taste. As I said- I like story driven games. Or a certain atmosphere (like L4D, Limbo). You see, I started as a twelve year old with NES, later on Super NES, and then stranded on PC. I am accustomed to a certain type of game - guess it's my age, but no, I am not starting a rant about "everything was better then" or about new games in general. But, I think nontheless that single player games will be there forever in some way :)
@@shaihulud4515 Totally understandable, it makes me envy your age a bit actually. There are so many older games I want to try and enjoy for the story but it's just so hard because of the limitations of the older stuff that I can't get used to. Even Final Fantasy 7 and Silent Hill 2 were pretty unbearable in terms of gameplay.
@@eilrahc3586 Actually that's something that sometimes happens to me also: you get very used to on point accuracy of a mdern game pad or the visuals past 2012, and the way games are set today. But then I find myself playing Super Metroid for the hundretht time, or Super Mario 3, Breath of Fire II or Shadowrun, A Link to the past... these are timeless classics from Nintendo that are playable today despite the lack in graphics. I guess that defines a classic. But I also remember the tension when Bioshock first arrived, heck even DOOM and DOOM II. They may be good examples: I totally enjoyed DOOM 2. DOOM 3 had a good story IMO, so I liked it, though it had it's not so shiny sides. The new DOOM simply isn't my piece of cake. It's just too fast to be enjoyable for me, and I don't like my enemies pop into diamonds and neon gadgets for health- or weapon upgrades.
If you can get your hands on old console games - give them a try, there are plenty of titles out there that are still good to play even by the standards of today :)
When companies say "gamers only want multiplayer experiences" they're really saying, "They WANT gamers to want only multiplayer experiences because it makes us more money"
i didn't even consider buying fallout 76 because it was multiplayer, even before all the drama
The fact of the matter is simple: People love good stories. You don't get good story from multiplayer. I've been gaming since gaming was invented, and one thing I've noticed above all else... everything is cyclic. As you said, variety is the key. Excellent vid dude. Subbed.
I’m not looking forward to Fallout 76 for this reason. There is no need to have turned a good single player experience into a multiplayer game. It completely ruins the whole point of it being a “wasteland” where there is barely anyone left
But it’s not a mainline game, it’s a spin off? The developers just want to tackle something new
Magicfoolbus 580 gameplay was an upgrade imo but the RPG aspects and story weren’t as good
icantbebothered see, I wouldn't mind a multiplayer Fallout as long as it was just like a small group of friends. Like 3 people max
right? they also went and ruined tes by doing the elder scrolls online well fuck that tes is only single player game morrowind oblivion and skyrim those are real elder scrolls games
icantbebothered couldn’t agree more. Haven’t bought it and won’t be buying it.
1. The biggest issue of big video game companies (EA, Activision etc.) is that they are comprised by old school business men, who make decisions based on statistical data and doesn´t take into account what their consumers want. They are firms and therefore care about maximising their profit.
2. Consumers in this industry are still idiots (it is becoming better through the years). They accept shit and therefore get shit. Compared to other industries the products that companies sell doesn´t affect health and as a result of that consumers tolerate the present situation hoping for a better future.
3. The only real solution is total boycot of those products that doesn´t fulfil what the consumer demand. But as the consumer base is populated largely with children it´s destined for annual COD titles for now.
Thomas Nielsen gamers have to smart to force a change from the old heads.
I think there is nothing wrong with a new CoD every year. If it is bought? Alright, keep doing it.
But there is no need to disband popular singleplayer series or shift them towards multiplayer.
For example mass Effect andromeda. The whole game felt like amultiplayer game (multiplayer optimized classes and balanced out for it etc. Though there have been other problems like switching story for open world)
i think the problem with whats wrong is the end of your statement. that kids largely populate the gamer base. I dont feel thats true, and if it is i feel its bcse of that statement that adults dont play as much. Bcse "games are for kids and teens."
I don't have friends to play video games with.

@Darth Nihilus exactly. I'm an introvert and the last thing I want at the end of the day when I'm trying to relax is interaction with more people.
Single player: you are a badass, no one can kill you, do what ever you want to do.
Multiplayer: you get kill 20 times by a guy who haven't take a single damage since the match start
There's no better multiplayer than split screen multiplayer. Real interaction face to face. The online scene brought out the worst in people, though it also revealed a dangerously large amount of unfit parents. I personally play video games to escape the real world, not deal with it even more. I have enough screeching and idiocy in real life, I don't need it in my hobby. I do know a thing or two about Marketing, seeing as I worked in it, and I'll say this: when a company says "single player is dying", they're trying to manipulate the gullible one-digit long IQ masses into buying their online micro-transaction filled yearly releases of the same game. Fact is, most people still want a single player mode. Metro is the perfect example. Even with the arguably anti-consumer practices prior to its launching, it is my understanding that it's a success. People generally do not want to listen to the screeching of 12 year olds playing M Rated games, they want to come home after a long day, sit down, turn on their PC or console and just lose themselves for a while.

Thank you for clearing things up and standing up for singleplayer-games. I love them. It's so relaxing to be able to play at my own pace, as hardcore or as leisurely as I want, and where success is dependent on me and me alone.
My favorite game last year was subnatica. I’m not going to stop playing single player any time soon.
Damn this was such a high quality video, your content even if it's just once a week really has stepped up and I'm definitely going to become a patreon once I get paid.
Now onto the topic. Yes for me singleplayer games never really died it's just they all started to become samey in that they were becoming open world with chores.
Last year for me was mostly dreadful, in March alone it was pretty much just all open world games that all looked the same and the one that annoyed me the most was ghost recon. They changed it from a single player tactical shooter that I loved to a division clone. There were a few exceptions last year but I ended up mostly on mp.
This year has been really good, god of war, detroit, finally got round to hellblade, and plenty more. We need variety. Not just singleplayer or just multiplayer or even just open world, but a healthy mixture of all.
End of this year will have just that aswell which is great
Thanks a lot man! Yeah there's most definitely reason to argue about the quality and variety of single player games recently as well, maybe something for another video sometime :)
RobinGaming Yes that would definitely be an interesting topic to talk about :)
Also, I have to ask. Are you streaming resi 7 tonight? ;)
Regnier575 its only 720p not even 1080p or 4k lol I'm not knocking I'm a fan but still this is normal quality
Rj Diggs kingdom come deliverance is also pretty nice and beautiful
UAC DOOMGuY There more to a video than that. The way he delivers it, how he speaks has really stepped up. It can be high quality at 720p
Loudmouth EA: singleplayer is dead
*checks best selling games this year, sees EA is not leading and there are singleplayer games in the top 5*
If I had one word to describe single player gaming experiences it's BEAUTIFUL.
Multiplayer is porn: fast, superficial and not very fullfilling in the end (be honest about it).
With single player, you can do ART, story-telling and much more... You can turn a Miyazaki movie into a single player game. Good luck making a MEANINGFUL multiplayer out of it. Every story, every character we love tells/lives a DAMN STORY. You can have action in a story but there's no story in a mp, just moments.
Why would you want to turn a movie into a video game? that's like paying someone to shovel your driveway and then going out and helping him shovel... I would rather read a book then play a story driven single player game... and I hate reading books
@@metalhead4667 then don't play them?
@@BruceLe3 What? Did you not read my reply? I was asking him a question...
multiplayer is only unfullfilling if you lose. just my opinion.
Depends on the multiplayer game. If you play something like WoW, it is unfulfilling and you lose by simply playing it. Same goes for a lot of other games. Then there's stuff like LoL and such where you lose by engaging with other players and that's not fulfilling either. Anything where you have to interact with other players will result in quite a few bad experiences, usually more than good ones. And don't even get me started on the time that is lost.
Wait until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out it will be a huge success after God of War
Followed by Spyro, Spiderman, The Last Of Us II and Ghost Of Tsushima.
All guaranteed to sell over 1 million copies as long as they're not disastrous letdowns.
Spider-Man I expect to sell over 5 million copies at least
TheMasterQuests By the end of 2018? I honestly wouldn’t doubt it. The Limited Edition Spider-Man PS4 Pro sold out like crazy almost everywhere, and the Collector’s Box Edition sold out almost immediately. It’s crazy to think that a Spider-Man game is seeing this level of hype and pre-success. I can’t wait to see what all of the gaming news sites report about it’s sales stats during its release week.
I feel like in the long run, RDR2 will be known for it's multiplayer mode and probably microtransactions. But during 2018, people will probably buy it for the singleplayer and it will sell like crazy.
By the end of the year I don't doubt it either XD
I actually refuse to play multiplayer games because of this. I don't want to contribute to the corporatist greed behind games that are relatively cheap to design and can rake in a lot of money through scams like microtransactions. Multiplayer games are the reality television of the gaming world.
i dont touch any freetoplay online games. im not gonna grind for something that can be just purchased by others in an instant.
I completely agree. I will NEVER purchase DLC or pay for any subscription ever. God of war is the PERFECT example of how a game should be made. No dlc, no multiplayer, no microtransactions, etc. All of the content is there for the price of the game. Other companies would have just took content out and then charged you if you wanted to go to muspelheim or some shit. I wish multiplayer games would die. I fucking hate service based games. And to this day, despite having gamed a minimum of 4 hours a day every day in my 30 years of life, I have refused to play a single multiplayer game or pay for a service. I will ONLY play AAA single player story games. Personally, I believe nothing would be better than for multilayer to die off. Only fake gamers play multiplayer any way.
And let's not forget what giant assholes PVPers usually are.
well said
@@cutvan yep
Single player games can't ever die
Not everyone really likes multiplayer . A good example is fallout 76 the franchise is ruined just because of multiplayer
I mean it is stupid as fuck. If you have a popular singleplayer series, why start to change it towards multiplayer? Even more with studios who are known for great singleplayergames. Why not accept what a studio is good at, instead of trying to change it to be multiplayer suddenly....
@@endlessnameless9381 Yeah thats true. And really sad. Browser games are like cancer. And mobile games.
@@endlessnameless9381 Im 20 years. I hope im not already to old for games. I just hope that some of those companies like EA and other companies who only want profit get smaller and some CEOs and developer get bigger which want to make great games again. Like Crytek was in the beginning. They sold FarCry and started Crysis because they wanted to push themselves, and not just continue a successfull series forever.
But yes, maybe im nostalgic...
ESO became pretty sucessful so they probably wanted to try it with fallout as well.
a co op mode for fallout would be nice, so you can play with your friends,if you like, but multiplayer? NOPE!!!
I love single players! I'm older now with more responsibilities so I no longer have the luxuries of Leveling up online and keeping up with the Jonses.
what they said : Single player games are dying
what they meant : Single player games are being killed by us
Well, considering the past couple years, there are plenty single player games from other sources. I myself has picked up Don't Starve, Witcher3, Hollow Knight and Kingdom Come: Deliverance over the past year. Past 2 years, maybe? I'm not an avid gamer, I read a lot, and I treat my games similarly to a good book.. I'm really happy with all of my purchases. I don't think any of them comes from the developers mentioned here?
Robin, sorry to go off topic like this, but this needs to be brought to your attention: The EU parliament is threatening to pass a new copyright directive called Article 13, which would require aggressive filtering of copyrighted material online which would be blocked in the EU. Imagine RUclips's totalitarian copyright system applied to the whole web, this is more or less attempt number two at SOPA. If this bill basses, europeans will no longer be able to enjoy the internet as we do now and what you do, uploading videos containing copyrighted gaming footage to RUclips would be impossible. We will lose everything if this bill passes, I implore you to make a video to bring more attention to it, we have until December or January when the vote will be held and we need to make as much noise about this as possible as fast as we can.

@@city__lights Nope, this was pushed through the completely democratic parliament too. It is not undemocratic, it is just full of idiots. and looking at the utter mess that the UK government is right now, it has lost the moral high ground. My advice is just to expect that everyone in politics is utterly stupid until proven otherwise. that way you don't live in a state of constant disappointment.
This doesn't sound good. What should I do to help you.
Developing a linear single player game allows for more mechanical complexity. I'll always prefer a linear campaign where I can delve deeper into the game's mechanics each time I play it over a game where the fun factor comes from playing it with others. Not saying this is a bad thing in the slightest, since having fun is the most important thing regardless of how you get there. It's simply my personal preference.
Single player also appears to be the way to go if one likes a more focused gaming experience in terms of both narrative and characters. Plus, I just love to loosen up and immerse myself in a videogame during my own free time and not worry about anything else. That's just the absolute best ^^
P.S: And I'm not even taking into account the amount of toxicity present in today's online gaming scene. That's a whole different story lmao
JayfroC The "toxicity" you speak of was there since the early days of online gaming. There were actual flame wars in the Starcraft channels in 2000 and no one was surprised. Tons of fun and rage. Nothing has changed since then, it was always like that.
Also, the more competitive the game is, the more people will rage.
True indeed! But I'm also referring to the lootbox and "pay to win" disease that's been spreading overt he last few years. That's a toxic business practice if I've ever seen one, it's almost sad.
JayfroC Oh you mean that toxicity, yeah that's actually one of the many reasons why I stopped caring about new video games. I just play the old stuff.
Yeah, there’s also non-linear single player games, with their own niche audience. They may not be as mechanically fun, but people like me find fun in exploring the decisions I make and how I could shape the narrative and it’s characters.
I completely forgot to mention those! Yeah, open world games have totally different strengths from linear single-player games. I really like booting up stuff like The Witcher 3 or Oblivion just to immerse myself in those worlds, it's great.
RDR2, Death Stranding, Control, A plague tale innocence, Shadow of the tomb raider, assassins creed, Metro Exodus. These are literally the games that are preserving the genre

I play games to get away from other people...So single player is all I want.
I only like single player games
Same here
Shake hands

@Kieron Paul how was fortnite?
@John Gulotta The big plus with singleplayer is that you get a better sense of accomplishment when you do a quest all by yourself.
Also you probably will rack up exp points and level up faster when you accomplish things by yourself as opposed to with someone else or group of others.
I have some characters who have reached lvl 15 to 18 without dying once with several thousand enemy killed to their credit.
That gives me a sense of great accomplishment when I achieved this without any assistance.
Simple math, the game companies want revenue STREAM over single sales. Same reason office pushes the subscription model.
..and to kill any resale of an owned single product.
Preach.
They don't want to be the best game ever, it just needs to make sales every year. A product that does that (multiplayer games) is like, the best thing ever in a capitalist sense.
If my game made it big like God of War, great! But if I want to keep up my momentum, I have to make a game like that next year. Then the next year. Then the next year. And that's assuming I keep making it big. If I fail to deliver, that could mean the end of me. You can only play God of War or Uncharted once.
Meanwhile, if I make something like PUBG that attracts new buyers every year, I'm set and don't need to work much for it. Games like PUBG are sort of a roguelike, the game is different everytime you play it.
Single player gaming as ALWAYS been over 90% of my games & in general these times, F U multiplayer! I wonder if I am a minority, but basically I dont play multiplayer because I HATE competitive gameplay. Before the end of 2017 if I remember, DragonBall Fighterz beta, I TRIED TO TRY, but it was IMPOSSIBLE! NOT because of internet problems, but so many people were already pro at the beta, I had no time learning how it worked, I would die in 30 seconds. ONLY Coop multi I like similar to Borderlands.
Supply and demand. As long as everyone keeps buying into these trash games then they will keep making them.
Why the heck should single player games be killed? That's an interactive story-telling.
For me at 40 years old I enjoy variety, and a balanced blend of Single-player & MP games. I lean towards Single player because I work with people all day and my personal escape is to play a game at night to 'unwind from the work grind'...at my pace. I do not care for the rush of modern day Multiplayer games including the newer battle royale modes.
I feel like I cannot even go to sleep after playing some of these games.
It's much preferred to relax and enjoy a campaign or story driven single player game at my speed, be able to hit pause when I want to and not be bothered by other people in a lobby. One of the only times of the day I can truly have 'my time' and I do not want to sacrifice it.
This video amazingly expressed the way i feel about the single player state in video-games! One thing that made me truly happy was when Neil Druckmann boldly said in one of the conferences this year that ND will forever continue to make story driven single player titles! The industry can say what it wants...but it’s our responsibility to say what WE want even louder!
Fatality Shift im not sure... Neil always says that the three pillars that hold a good game are gameplay, graphics and narrative!

Years later I'm still playing Skyrim and purchasing it yet again for the Special Edition.....because, you know......no one plays single player games anymore.
Ive never stopped playing borderlands, civ V, oblivion, skyrim, need for speed, NHL, Farcry 3 &5, and a long list of AC games all in offline mode.
Online games usually just piss me off with the lag or toxic gamers

Saying Single player games are dying is quite bluntly greedy market manipulation. Neither single player or multiplayer need to be mutually exclusive. Who can remember the old NES games as a child. There were so many 2 player and 1 player games. They co existed in bliss. Nowadays though its all about corporate greed (GLARING PIERCINGLY AT YOU KONAMI!! I'M STILL UPSET ABOUT SILENT HILLS) How their supposed business models are the only actual truth to the industry. Fact is people game to be whissed away to a fantasy. Whether that fantasy be with friends or just a cool story. Learn to find a balance and see your customers happy and making you the profits you sold your souls for.
Aahh that entire intro. Remember when *Actual gameplay footage meant ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE?
" I am my own experience,
I am my own fantasy,
I am my own fight,
I am the star,
I am the game. "
- Single Player.
Single player games are an experience that multiplayer will never duplicate. Cooperative games, though few and far between, like A Way Out, can bring the same experience. EA is trying to speak for gamers in an effort to promote their agenda of multiplayer, microtransaction heavy games. The content in these games are set up around these microtransactions. Making them mandatory to get any full enjoyment out of the game. Pay to play after you've already paid $60 for the game. The games are not created for the gamer. They're created with monetization in mind. The developers of these multiplayer games hardly ever put forth any real effort to make the game without having to pay to compete or grind for long periods of time to catch up with those that have paid. Never will I believe that multiplayer is the future. I play a few multiplayer to bide my time until a new single player IP comes out. Right now that's Over Watch. And you can bet money if you want that when Spiderman PS4, AC Odyssey, Tomb Raider, and Metro release... Over Watch will be collecting layers upon layers of dust....
SpiriTraveler MDK cough cough... TLOU part 2 , red dead redemption 2 😉
On the subject of Overwatch, looked interesting, but the lack of a single player campaign killed it for me. I unless it's FTP I don't really see the point of buying a multi player only game... (Kind of like why I don't really see the point of buying an MMO, because well... if it goes under and the server shuts down you no longer have a game to play, and all the money and time invested in it is gone.)
List of great single campaign games which I personally excited and anticipated:
1) Red dead redemption 2
2) The last of us part two
3) Ghost of Tsushima
4) Days gone
5) Death stranding
6) Sekiro shadow die twice
7) Spider man
8) Cyberpunk 2077
9) Call of Cthulhu
10) Control
11) Doom Eternal
12) Plague of tale
13) Wild
14) Resident Evil 2 remake
15) Metro exodus
16) Nioh 1,2
So future of single near 2-3 year is fine until next generation PS5
Gentlemen Gamer ammm I am never play multiplayer only single story campaign all others games not interesting, sorry man ;)
Blah Blah devil may cry 5
Their motivation is easy to understand not that hard, it's greed nothing more. They want to kill off the idea of single player games and increase the popularity of multiplayer games so they can continue to push the game as a service it's a lot easier to drain more money out of us in a multiplayer game then in the single player game which is why they do it. But they're always always caught by surprise when they're Surefire plan fails and they get pie on their face but well we know their type they always have a convenient scapegoat to take responsibility for their mistakes the only good thing we can take out of this is sooner or later they're going to run out of scapegoats or the ones who pushed his agenda in the first place are going to be next on The Chopping board. It always happens, and yet people will act insane and continue to pretend this s*** won't happen to them until it does.
right, so game execs are delusional and clueless. we already knew that.
@@rwgeach preach
Well,some less big studio want tha money to survive,while triple A studio just want MORE 💰
@@nathaliegingras6633 well we all know who's the real ones who started this s*** the Triple-A companies. The other companies well the ones pushing so much multiplayer content than single player we're just playing follow-the-leader. Or the small minority of them were already doing multiplayer only first it's just the big name companies moved in, and stole their Dunder making something that was making them a good amount of money, and then extracting as much resources from it as possible, tapping it all out for the rest of them. You know how it is the bigger companies Wipe Out the smaller companies because they can afford early on to strangle hold everything all to try and bankrupt bar scare off all small competition that can't stand against them so they will be the solo individual eating up all the resource in that area. You can call AAA Studios the Harvesters from the Independence Day movies and just how greedy and stupid they are and stealing resources that dig easily get from uninhabited planets from others for no good reason other than well greed and inability to like any type of competition that keeps them from having as you stated all the money.
there's a reason why rockstar is successful
@Bratwurst Gourmet let's be fair, when someone mentions rockstar the first thing that pops up in their brain won't be GTA online
@@kris1110 CJ and the Damn train is the first thing that pops up in my mind.
GTA and Red dead may have online but the Singleplayer is soul of Rockstar's existence.
@@kris1110 Top down GTA, Vice City and San Andreas XD Unless they are too young for these somehow.
Red dead 2 online.....
EA's games are so good these days that I turned my PS2 on after 10 years to play NFS HP 2.
Why not wanted?
Good ol days when EA actually made legendary games.
Single player games will survive because some people will always want to be alone.
Some people like myself wont play online games.
What will you do when your favorite multiplayer game server is under maintenance or your internet service is down for few hours...... Also Single player game is good for cool down your brain after a long heated & frustrated session of multiplayer games.
Well said, brother. Watching EA fail miserably again with Anthem in 2019 is even more "proof in the pudding." Here's to more single player games in the future!
I have hope for the return of single player games from the sony press conference at e3, hoping they all deliver
You nailed it with this video. You eloquently spoke my very thoughts and feelings to a tee. Thank you!
Bring me the man who said “single player games are dead”
If they do away with single player, they will lose me and half the gaming industry and get a massive sales drop so I'm confident that it won't happen
I was hyped for the idea of multiplayer during the Dreamcast days when it was the first one to mainstream multiplayer with its 56k modem. Xbox live took it to the next level, and that was a very fun experience. But man, that shit got old. 16 years later, I still don't give a shit about multiplayer, and never will. Too boring. Live in room competition with sports or fighting games is real "multiplayer" fun
Absolutely. They want the Cash Cow Model. They want a captive audience for as few titles as possible, for as long as possible. Single player doesn't fit that Drug Dealer model.

you are simultaneously over and under thinking this issue.
all industries are now operating on a "supply side" economic model.
there is a lot more to this, college courses are given on this sort of thing.
but the part that is relevant to the topic of your video is that large companies do not care what their customers want.
they do not go out and do market research to find out what there is a demand for , then make that product.
they figure out what product will make them the most money, how they can manipulate the availability of products in that category so that what makes them money will be the most easily accessible product in that category of products, then they go out and do market research to figure out how they can convince people that the thing that makes them money is desirable.
at no point in this process do they allow what their customers actually want to influence the direction that they will take their company and their products in.
they only think about what product their customers actually want once it is time to start manipulating their customers into buying the thing that they decided to make.
if it does not sell even after they have spent lots and lots of money to try and get people to think they want it, they blame the customers for this.
that is where all of those "milinials are killing this or that" ideas come from.
But isn't that strategy a bit retarded in the long run?
story is what I play games for. Its like playing a good book or movie. Far more amusing
Why would you want to play a book or movie? defeats the purpose of the story if you have to create the story yourself.. also most video games stories are garbage in comparison to books/movies soo..
@@metalhead4667 "defeats the purpose of the story if you have to create the story yourself"
Not if you like creating stories, or variations thereof. Book or movie can show what it's like in someone else's shoes. A game can put you in the shoes.
Personally, I value great gameplay over a coherent story but I get what you're saying.
Video Games Industry : Single player games are dying right now...
Rockstar Games : Hold my horse...
...tail. Former teeth, once removed.
..and realize you're holding thin air, as Roach just spawned many metres away.
Single player games require talent, Something EA, Activision-Blizzard and Microsoft clearly lack.
microsoft studio can make decent single player games if they try
ie ori and the blind forest
but other than that, you are absolutely right
Single player games will never disappear - I will hold on to my collection forever.
That way no matter what the grifters try, I will always have single player games to play.
"Titles like Zelda don't have the same impact anymore." Phil Spencer is my favourite standup comedian, glad they still have him working the E3 crowd.
Multiplayer should remain an optional feature, not the entire experience, like it always has been!!
That would prevent games from becoming completely obsolete, yes
I tried some multiplier games and I simply don't take it. The only reason I play games are awesome narratives and stunning graphics of single player games.
A market with only multiplayer games will never survive. There has to be diversity.
only because people are stupid and buy movies for 60$ (aka single player games)
My best experiences as a gamer were in single player games. Still better than the lag, bullshit fest online.

You sir, just made the gaming industry and the gaming community proud. Hats off. I'm so happy this came in my recommendations!
Honestly Singleplayer games have given me more of the most awesome moments in my gaming life. But multiplayer has given me the most moments when my adrenaline was pumping crazy. I think many can agree on this. However I think many will also agree, that if a game has a good sp, you are more inclined to go to the mp of that game aswell. If the industry decides to leave sp behind, then many gamers will leave aswell.
do you remember when microsoft canceled Scalebound? A singleplayer driven game.
Rumor has it, that it's making a comeback.
Yeah but the rumors also say it will be Nintendo reviving it
Singleplayer and multiplayer in a game can live in harmony.
But a Singleplayer only game has still a better singleplayer than a combinated game.
And a multiplayer only game has better multiplayer in most cases than a combinated game.
Am always happy when I see you upload a video! Thanks a lot! This was fantastic! :D
A bloody good video. Well done, Sir!
