All multiplayer games should include bots for single play.

It did have naked boobs on character creation that was hilarious.

Not if "easy" means that everything gets dumbed down to the point that you might as well finish the game while being asleep. A game can have fun mechanics and some depth for example as far as economy goes but still be overall "easy".

Because there are a ♥♥♥♥ ton of open-hollow-world games doesn't mean everybody is satisfied with singleplayer games.

I didn't say anything about open world games, but sure, I agree. The very existence of multiplayer games demonstrates that not everyone wants to just play singleplayer games. That's not in question.

That's not the problem there at all though. Multiplayer games not including bots has been normal forever. It's fine. There's no shortage of single-player games.

That's like saying it's fine pizza not having pineapple because there's lots of meals with pineapple. But I do want to eat pizza with pineapple.

It's not really like that, because videogames aren't pizza. The product isn't customised and costed per user, it's copied for everyone from work done up front. For you to have your pineapple multiplayer, the devs have to put in the development cost in advance. That might not be justified for them, and it should be okay for them to decide they don't want to do that. Same way the devs of a racing game should be able to decide not to put in a match-3 block puzzle for the people who'd like that. Sucks for those people, but that's okay.

I completely understand the appeal of multiplayer games with bots - I share that feeling, but it's not the issue. "I prefer when games have bots" is quite a different statement from "all games should have bots": one is justified, one is not.

Also, hah, "showing deference to gamers". Lets hope that never becomes a thing. Gamers aren't owed deference; devs aren't servants.

I still have Valve in high steem because they still are one of those few who DO walk that extra mile to give you bots in their MP games. TF2m, CSGO, DOTA2, L4D2... Hell Even Artifact and Underlords had bot matches.

Yes, and all those games were developed by a billion dollar company that is supported by the income from the largest PC game distribution network. I don't think it's reasonable to hold all developers in the world to the standards Valve can indulge in.

LOZ BOTW was massively overrated. For a game that's supposed to be about emergent gameplay or at least seemed like it was, it really didn't let you do too much. Almost everything I tried to do outside the box was stopped by the game. Not to mention things de-spawning as I'm literally chasing them but yeah 10/10 right?

I'll take 'I can finish this game while asleep' 9 out of 10 times if given the choice.

Yet I'll still die in the hill that every MP game should have bots. Just for the simple fact it allows to enjoy the game even after the playerbase has run dry and moved elsewhere. It's sad to see a MP game with an interesting mechanic that I'd be willing to jump in but is dry on players, or has such a small and dedicated userbase that the entry barrier is the Wall from GoT.

Of course that's IMO one of the reasons why bots in MP games were swiftly phased out of existence. Devs nowadays don't want players lingering in their older titles when they release the new version.

It's also why I've turned a lot of my late attention from FPS to fighting or RTS games. That's a genre where you can still find Vs AI gamemodes with regularity.

I used 'deference' on purpose as it seems bot support for MP games is seen nowadays not much more than a 'concession'.

It's funny how it was precisely the big studios (EA, Activision...) the ones that have dropped bot support for their games the most. I can find more bot support on indie games than on AAA titles.

Yes? I didn't say otherwise. The point is that every studio and every situation is different. Not everyone will prioritise your personally preferred features in their creative endeavours, and that's not some kind of failure or disrespect to gamers or whatever.

Rare games are horribly overrated

Agree totally. Paid for Persona 3 FES at CEX and it was a letdown. I may have liked it more if I hadn't already played Persona 4 but I will never know.

Batman Arkham Origins is at max slightly worse than Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City, it is a great prequel overall.

I agree. The let down in the series was Arkham Knight.

[Castyles]

Lmao. Arkham Origins was the best Arkham game. That story and the detective side missions were awesome.

Origins > Asylum > City > Knight.

SPOILERS ahead: Batman cared more about the Joker dying than Talia. Ridiculous. The Joker caring more about Batman dying then Harley Quinn would be understandable but not what they did there. And Clayface as the last boss, appearing out of nowhere, without any hints whatsoever? Give me a break.
