Separate single player and online scores?
Posted: April 28th, 2017, 9:03 pm
Hello,
I've kept up with the site for a little while and like to check up on reviews every so often because the opinions typically are pretty similar to mine. I tend to favor the old school, pick up and play with depth, arcade style sensibilities - and get jaded with the ever growing 'games as a service' trend of heavy online play, micro-transactions, and bloatware.
That being said, this year might be the 'banner' year of the pay-to-play online gaming brand. Star Wars Battlefront II, Destiny 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty WWII, among other big hitters are almost going to be mandatory online play anymore.
Unfortunately, even Nintendo, who was the last bastion of 'free' gaming online will charge for the service later this year. Rumored to be cheaper than competition, but still mandatory to play online, it's going to heavily affect the playability of games like Splatoon and possibly ARMS, among other upcoming games.
All this, yet I can't find a single media outlet who will grade a game in the eyes of a standard single player gamer versus online play. Has this been considered in the future for the site? It would be a great benefit to individuals like myself. Thanks.
