Wait a minute.. what happened to multiplayer?!

[DaveKap]

I just played for an hour and was hyped up to play with a friend... when I realized you guys took the multiplayer out of the game?! What?! WHY???

[Roscoe]

I know, it sucks. :(

I want to throw them $20 if it means they'll make a sequel, but no multiplayer hurts.

[Crimson]

Yep, MP was completely cut out from PC release.

I've been watching videos of multiplayer on the Xbox One version of the game. Honestly, it's a shame it's been cut but it doesn't ruin the entire experience. This was always a solo experience

No multiplayer, no sale. Microsoft needs to learn a serious lesson in pleasing it's customers. They have blown the good will with console gamers and lead they had over Sony with the last generation. This generation is not even close, Microsoft is getting stomped by Sony to an unbelievable level.

Steam makes 30% off of all sales on it's platform. That is far more revenue than the Xbox generates for Microsoft. They could have had the most succesful console on the planet and they could control the entire PC ecostructure for games and be the most profiatable gaming company in the world. Instead they are loosing market share year after year. The people running their gaming division need to be fired and replaced with fresh faces and fresh ideas. This cannot happen soon enough.

Buy game now, enough people buy it they'll do multiplayer. Its extra optional work that still costs money to port. Why waste money on it if it turns out the game didnt' sell well? RDR2 does it and its fine, but its a problem here?

Don't spread false info pls. All Microsoft's games on steam is finished products and they never add anything after. Only some minor patches if it's really needed.

Explains the price tag...

Two problems with this.
1: The developers haven't stated that if they sell enough, they'll add it in. If they did, I'd be on board with the way things are going.
2: Do not seriously compare a $20 PC port of a 4 year old game that I not only played, but also LOVED playing multiplayer on, to a $60 new release that's (currently) console exclusive. That's not apples to oranges, that's apples to helicopters.

Dude the multiplayer was literally just a tacked on horde mode, it wasn't even open world.

Doesn't matter. Horde mode is better than no multiplayer.

[Quambas]

Damn, I thought this game was fully multiplayer, it's so annoying to find out it was never really multiplayer but I guess that's on me for not researching it when it came out on the kiddie consoles. Oh well, maybe I'll play it someday if I ever stop having friends

[DaveKap]

It's a really fun game as a single player game, my only issue with wanting the multiplayer is that I'm _used_ to this game having multiplayer, as I'm a huge fan of horde modes and was one when I played this game on XBox. It's a sadness for what I've lost, not an anger over not having that which the game never had or advertized.

If you've never played this game, it's absolutely still worth the 20 bucks (even less over at GMG) as a single player experience. Believe me. You're only missing out on the multiplayer if you got to experience it before but it's hardly a dealbreaker when the game is as cheap as it is and as fun as it is.

This honestly sucks and might effect my purchase for the PC version. I played the ever love out of the game on the xbox and when I heard it was coming to steam the first thing I did was tell my friends that we are about to go crazy on the online modes as I really enjoyed them on the Xbox. I am really curious as to why they made this choice honestly I dont really see a reason for them to take it out for the PC launch.

Either way its really cool to see people finally being able to play a criminaly underrated game finally.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED THE SINGLE PLAYER PORTION OF THE GAME I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT TO YOU !

[RB]

I won't be getting it for the lack of MP, was the only selling feature I was aiming for so I could play with friends.

[it's a gabe]

It is kind of a shame. Remember when NISA failed to advertise that they removed all of the online features from Disgaea 5? People were livid.

How's multiplayer in SOD supposed to be, by the way? Is it drop-in-drop-out and you get to explore the open world with other players, or is it restricted to missions? Or is it a separate mode?
