I was having an argument with some kids as to how I sold the game (after getting the white Ps4 bundle) because I wasn't interested in a game that was always online.
I was trying to tell them that there is no dedicated single player campaign, because there isn't. They're saying there is, but I'm pretty sure the single player gameplay was made to played with other players, was it not?
You also HAVE to be online to play the game. If the servers are offline, you cannot play the game at all. If there was a dedicated single player, you could resort to playing that if the online play wasn't working.
They were calling my reasoning stupid but I think they were just being stupid for not fully comprehending what I was conveying to them. It is not a game like Uncharted or Halo that have dedicated single player campaigns. It is online only. And even if you play the campaign alone, I'm pretty sure Bungie themselves said yeah you could do it, but it won't be nearly as fun as playing it with other people (hence, no dedicated single player)
It's not that I have a problem playing a game that has to be always online (but isn't that one reason why everyone hated the xbone when it was first revealed), I just don't think it is fair to charge $60 for a game that has no single player. You have to always be online and the servers may not be functional in 10 years, nor may there be many people playing the game to accompany you online.
Whereas those games with single player modes (or even just single player and nothing else, not even online), will always have single player modes, forever. This summer I felt like going on a little nostalgia trip and played Tekken 4.
