Speaking for the offline gamers

I was searching my closet for some of my summer shorts where i made a discovery.

I actually found my old gamecube box ( you know the box that the gamecube comes in!), so i picked it up and dust it off and looked at the back off it.

It had all sorts of crazy games posted on it like Luigi's mansion and Mario Cart double dash so i was like hey im going to play some Gamecube now!

So i unhooked my 360 and grabbed my gamecube from under my bed and fired that bad boy up! Man that Gamecube start up never gets old! I was suprised too see Timesplitters Future Perfect in there so im like alright i love this game so lets play..I was suprised to find that the controller was very comfortable and the buttons seem to not be sticky and the joysticks were still very stiff.

Back to the game though i just love the visuals for this game and it was very pleasent to the eyes. I was creating my own map which is always a blast on any game. This is unique because i think no other game can compete with this creation system. Its very simple!

Many hours later i finally shut it off and i was thinking to myself.....I miss my Gamecube and i miss playing it.

These days you cant really sit with a game and TRULEY ENJOY IT! Dont get me wrong titles like Fallout 3 and Forza 2 are fun to play mainly because they focus on single player action but im just saying they dont make games like they use to. These days its all about Insane graphics and 48 player multiplayer and require you to have HIGH SPEED INTERNET! Games like Call of Duty: World at War REQUIRE high speed internet for you to get the FULL experience of the game.

What i really want game developers to do is to put an even amount of effort to appeal to offline users as much as they apeal to the online gamers too. Not everyone can have high speed internet connection! I just want people that buy games get their moneys worth. Paying 60 bucks for for a movie experience campaign and very little extras? No thanks..

I give props to Epic games for at least trying to appeal to the offline gamers by adding bot matches on all the multi player maps with all the awsome game modes avaliable, i think they were trying to give them a good experience.

Yeah well i probably went on too long babbling a bunch of non-sense but whatever...thanks for reading!

Nice. I really enjoyed the Time Splitters games. My friend and I played through the second and third, and my brother and I played through the first. They're lots of fun. But I understand; heh, sometimes it's more fun just to be more interactive with someone in person as well and get such a great experience. Online is a great thing though so I do enjoy it. I love my GameCube though and I still play it every now and then. I'm still looking to buy some games for it as well. I love the GCN Controller too!

I think games like Call of Duty should stay focused on multiplayer online to cater to that audience, but I agree there isn't many good single player expierences anymore. My favourite single player only game of this gen sorta is Oblivion, but i haven't played Fallout 3 yet.

But hey, it's not impossible to revisit those old days like you did with your gamecube. Hell, I still play Doom alot after like 8 years.

No one can babble on the internet! that's what it's for. I tottaly agree with all that your saying there, personally im not really into playing online all that much which is why I got rid of COD4, Gears and Halo 3 and all that crap.

Games that focus solely on single player with a decent story are a commodity these days and arent numerous enough. Im glad i'm not the only one who feels that way, good to hear from you man.
