Why do people want online PVP in a Horror game?

[AmItheFather]

I've never seen so many complaints for a game to have competitive multiplayer. I mean cmon people its a survival horror game! Imagine it. Amnesia: The Dark Descent with multiplayer! Imagine how pointless that would be.

Oh wait I just did a google search and found a bunch of threads with the same request...

Honestly, I don't really think FEAR 3 was terrifying in singleplayer.

Because it was designed for multiplayer.

That makes sense

1 reason why this game is not pvp: I dont have to deal with the likes of you that are posting in this forums. haha so long suckers! youre the reason why pvp sucks so much all the kiddies. run home to moma

♥♥♥♥♥, you sound like an 8 year old child yourself. It's a shame the majority of the online gaming community is so immature that they have to rant all about and curse at each other... ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

the game plot is that you are the only person who made it out of the plane crash everyone in that plane dies but you so pvp would not work

Are you serious? Do you really think people cares?
A story can EASILY be altered for COOP

[Schwengelbengel]

2-4 coop will most likely be in the game, pvp not, which has its reasons. coop is way easier to design and program in a game like the forest, for pvp you'd have to work much more for it (which results in less other content), and even the game itself isnt build to be pvp.

Multiplayer/PvP for this would be ridiculous.
I really dont see the need for multiplayer in everything

[Rude$t]

I really don't think open world pvp really fits the vibe or spirit of this game. Asking for something like that is silly in the first place when people have Rust, DayZ, and many other DayZ-Likes that they could go play instead.

I have no need for a slightly prettier carbon copy of the same gameplay. So why do you? You that vain?

Resident Evil was scary until it went all Japanese-Anime Action Adventure on us. Deadspace was scary, but inevitably EA tried to "broaden it's audiance". Niche genres cave in and implode under the weight and pressure of having to cater to the generalized masses, people who aren't gamers in the first place. But fine. Whatever. That's a whole 'nother can of worms. Neither here nor there.

Something can be said for isolation and being absolutely alone in a game world that wants to destroy you. Isolation is a huge part of fear.

Be happy with single player. Be happy with the prospect of Co-Op. If you still want PvP, if you still want to join the masses of sosciopathic squeak-teens and murder each other in an open world you have pretty much dozens of options available to you that are not The Forest.

[The_Aimless]

Like many people already said, Co-op in this game would probably work out good, if not great, but a full on PVP-Mode would be just... it just wouldn't fit.
There are a lot of reasons some games just don't have PVP (or multiplayer in general), but in this specific case, it would just be plain stupid to go PVP since the game is clearly not designed for it.
It's about surviving some sort of fresh hell, not to "faceroll and teabag Noobz".

who wants multiplayer on a game like this seriously arent angry cannibals and other things that i cant even describe hard enugh without other players messing you up too

[okra smuggler]

but yes co op wud be very good

[Larsinater]

I think people get bored with a game with only singleplayer and they want to play it co-op with some friends but yeahh that makes it less scary :P

[Vantus]

PVP Multiplayer turns survival / survival-horror games into Death Matches. There's an entire genre of game out there DESIGNED to allow players to run and gun down other players. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Unreal Tournament, (and if you're into mediaeval melee) Chivalry. The list goes on.

Why turn something that has been designed from the ground up as a Survival Horror experience into another competitive FPS deathmatch? If people want to comment on the potential of The Forest to be more like DayZ or Rust, then why not simply play DayZ or Rust? Games don't need to be converted to fit the mould of other games.

You don't hire a String Quartet then ask them to bring a Laptop and play Dubstep.

I heard the devs would be working on making the game scary while still playing co-op. I'm excited to see the alpha and judge how good they will be able to make that work.

I believe it's because people find an appeal in having to quickly craft weapons you can fight off the others with, while still having to take care of yourself, and maybe other mobs. Not that I agree with any of them. It's just a theory.

[ComfyWolf]

Because people don't want different games to appeal to different crowds of people, they want all the interesting looking games to appeal to exactly what they want. Even if there's already games that do exactly what they want.

todays younger gamers lean toward PvE because they haven't been gaming long enough to get bored with ai yet. they will. give them time.

but the truth is that as you game for a long time, the ai should become too easy and in order to get more and more of a challenge, you move on to MP games. when you have a legit mp community online, it becomes a thing of beauty.

problem is, large portion of the gamers begging for PvP are actually younger gamers as well. they are the ones who tend to turn a game south fast. the older gamers usually find "interesting" things to do in a game besides using the engine to play cod. clans tend not to enjoy smoking solo noobs because... what's the point? that doesn't mean a buncha kids can't throw some clan tags on and run around griefing the masses under the guise of being a clan, but that's not a clan.

the last factor in all this is the map design and scale: the reason most of the pve people don't like the pvp part is that the maps are too small, still and they aren't designed in a way to integrate all play styles together, both pve and pvp players. there is a way to do that, but it wouldn't fit this game model or map as it stands.

that being said, if you want MP on this game... go the route of "Lost" and let each clan or group "take" their own "island". then, if you REALLY wanna go grief other players... all ya gotta do is: go down in the caves, get the parts, build a raft, gather supplies, get more parts, build more rafts and hope you can make it to the enemy island as a group without drowning. pve folks get a "break" because unless you come in at night, you're gonna be seen for miles and pvp folks who are really hardcore have the option to "go attack those dudes".

win/win
mostly for the sharks.


Peace
