Well, I like mp stuff just not being cheated. Very lil in mp games is honest, even most clans are hack clans. And all corp sponsor or big money tourneys are all over land, never over the net. You can watch for cheaters in a lan environment- you can not over the net.
I just never cared for hl2 mp stuff. My all time fav mp game is ut04. It was a time I played it some 17 hours a day or more for 2 1/2 years. Got sick of being cheated and in every other game too. So now I mostly only play sp games, Unless playing mp with a few friends I feel I can trust.
I am disabled, all I have to do is game ,so.
I am a fps or rps gamer. Everything else is a pong or a girl game imo. Others can like or play what they care to. My fav genre these days are the rps games [roll playing shooter] like stalker bioshock borderlands and fo3 etc.
Fo3 is the worst of the bunch when talking fps mechanics and gun play or player movement. Vats is rpg and no skills all day long, but can be cool for some screens or vids, maybe slo mo or close ups or for locating enemies etc. I guess perfect for rpg players. Fo3 is a better rpg game versus fps or combo- or rps game, what ever you want to call it. But fo3 is still a cool game.
The rps games tend to be longer to complete the sp part. I think the rps games are a better value versus a sp game you can complete in 1 eve, like say cod games, and is why I do not buy them until real cheap, or free with hardware.
Games like HL2 and with no walk through might take weeks or months to finish, most games now, and want to charge us 60 bucks. You can complete the sp game in 6 to 10 hours, they get none of my cash, no more than 10 or 20 bucks maybe on steam anyway.. Ha ha the mp games are cheated the first day out, so why bother.
See ya..
