Titanfall 2 didn't just fail from the release date but also the marketing and advertising. Titanfall 1 was an xbox exclusive, and was intended at one point to be a launch-day system seller. Microsoft knew one of their biggest games was Call of Duty, and locking the new IP from the creative minds that made CoD as big as it was seemed like a sure bet. Especially with Halo's future looking increasingly uncertain. The marketing was hyped around this, and largely fueled by Microsoft money. Titanfall 2 on the other hand was independantly funded by EA, it didn't have the large hype or marketing like Titanfall 1's. You can see this with how the titanfall 1 "Life is better with a titan" trailer is the most viewed video in the titanfall official channel. TItanfall 2 also had many controversial changes and 2's multiplayer at launch was lackluster compared to how it is now in terms of content and replayability. People were also fatigued from Sci-fi shooters at the time which was understandable.
At some point in time, in the middle 2010s, EA noticed that player's fun is secondary and their objective ought to be to get money and be rich fast as fuck with minimal effort
The last of us multiplayer was so unique and fun,ended up pouring hundreds of hours to it just for those adrenaline rushes when you we’re the last one standing

Ok, this is honestly such a huge coincidence, but I'm actually an Assassin's Creed Multiplayer content creator haha. The multiplayer community for Assassin's Creed has existed well beyond its launch and its initial trending stages among gamers. I've been playing it competitively for 9 years, only stopping recently due to Ubisoft shutting down the servers back in September/November (funnily enough, all the servers were supposed to be entirely shut down in September across all platforms, and then randomly in November they went back up on PC, Xbox, and PS3 lol. Gotta love Ubi's server moderation). But yeah, after playing it for so long, I can assure you that one of the main reasons Assassin's Creed MP never maintained its popularity was because many videos/guides/etc covering it never showcased just how unique of an experience it is when playing competitively. The multiplayer has many insane exploits and glitches, many of which require serious training to master, which developed a massive skill gap between veteran players and people just trying to enjoy the novelty of an AC multiplayer. Us in the AC multiplayer community have tried countless times over the past 13 years to erase the barebones perception of the game as just being a replica of the campaign's heavy focus on stealth and small strings of combat sequences that don't really need much thinking. In simple terms, it definitely isn't a "cat and mouse" experience, but I totally understand where you guys are coming from. As mentioned earlier, the amount of exploits/glitches/other competitive advantages across all the multiplayer installments is something that many players didn't really care to learn at the peak of the game's popularity, since again, they're just playing for novelty. Ubisoft themselves never really bothered to support the competitive community either, the formula everyone perceives ACMP as is what Ubisoft stuck with. They also would often remove many exploits, add random game breaking patches, and other modifications to the games/servers that in the end, served zero purpose. Their staff that was assigned to work on the multiplayer even has a lot of controversy within the competitive AC multiplayer community, just look at EscoBlades for example. He was originally a competitive player who joined Ubisoft's PR team for the multiplayer games. Besides the deplorable things he did while employed at Ubisoft, he would frequently backstab his longtime competitive friends, as well as the entire cross-platform community, badmouthing us to his higherups and pushing for our servers to shutdown sooner than they were. He was one of the only voices we had that could reach Ubisoft, and he completely turned his back on us. I've been debating making a documentary on the AC multiplayers for years now, and I think I'll finally go along with it. But it's very interesting to see you guys cover it, as you can tell I'm very passionate about it haha. Great video though!
Titanfall 2 was the smoothest multiplayer game i have ever played. From the movement and gunplay, then add in the titans. To add the campaign was amazing, its a shame that ea/respawn want to focus on Apex.
Arkham origins is the example I always use when people ask for unique multiplayer experiences. It was genuinely so much damn fun getting pinned down, but hearing a grapple and being safe all of a sudden, before getting choked out. I loved that game
Titanfall 2 is actually one of my if not my most favorite game(s). The game has suffered so much, and got even worse around the ddos attacks. The game has recovered the player base isn’t what it used to be but I still enjoy getting online and playing a solid match of attrition. Battlefield Hardline was actually not a half bad game imo. I’ve never been a fan of the Battlefield games so I’ve never really played them. I never played the multiplayer but the campaign was kind of solid. It wasn’t crazy good or terrible. It was innovative for a game about police officers. The twist ending was definitely something I ever expected going through it, though tbh I don’t I really remember it too much. I remember at the time being quite surprised by the ending. I would definitely go back and play it since I have played it in a very LONG time and I could probably see it for the piece of garbage it actually was. But I genuinely want to just experience the story again and see if I was right about the campaign not being too bad.
EA's frequently poor MP servers really didn't help Titanfall 2. After launch and during beta connectivity was a major issue which definitely scared folks off, not that Battlefield 1's servers were great either but more reliable from my experience of both betas and release. Friday the 13th's lack of support due to the IP fight was the big thing that killed it.
@@Nazylexx Respawn could've used more development time to work on Titanfall 2 because at launch the multiplayer felt pretty hollow and had alot of controversial changes. A majority of Titanfall 2's maps (excluding the ones ported over from 1) are full of invisible barriers or out of bounds timers that stop the player from exploring interesting routes. some Titanfall 2's maps do feel as if they've been dumbed down to appeal to a more casual playstyle. crashsite, boomtown and drydock were deservingly disliked. Drydock is the biggest offender of this. Given how Titanfall 1's Rise worked, it is absolutely baffling that Drydock is completely covered with invisible barriers along the top and walls you can't wallrun on. It completely nullifies any extra potential interesting routes. Drydock takes what Rise did well on and completely throws it out the window, on Drydock there are several walls that could lead to interesting routes that you can't even wallrun on. Not being able to wallrun on certain walls in a Titanfall game feels like a huge slap on the face. At launch alot of people didn't like the titan loadout changes either or how the ttk on the weapons were ramped up. Removing the ability to switch out a titans weapon made it feel as if the titan wasn't yours. Titanfall 2 doesn't even let you change the titans os voice which was a great QOL feature. The maps in Titanfall 2 also had less interactivity to them. Titanfall 1 let you hack large turrets which allowed you to provide firepower for your team and one map even had a powergrid that could be used as a trap. In Titanfall 2 many weapons outclass eachother where in Titanfall 1 each weapon had its own unique use in any given situation. Titanfall 2 was also less balanced at launch compared to how it is now. Titanfall 2's campaign was a great addition but its biggest drawback according to the playerbase was that the campaign was too short.
This isn't to say that 343 are a great developer by any means, but talking about reputation of a studio when Dice have released 1 playable good game at launch in the last decade is wild.
The vials you collect in RE:Verse don't allow you to turn back to human - you do that automatically once you die as a bioweapon. The vials you collect as a human determine the kind of bioweapon you can turn into.
1:10:46 - Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl 2 is way more than just a repackage of the first game. It's a pretty good sequel, not just something they seem like they're going to drop and run.
You mention Conker. That came out in 2005 for the original Xbox. You know what else came out that year. The 360, along with 2 launch titles from Rare, Kameo and Perfect Dark. Doing a launch title for a new system is rough, and it was especially rough for HD consoles, since those required a lot more effort going from creating 280p/480i games to 720p (when the 360 launched, it didn't have an HDMI port and 1080p games were rare throughout the entire generation, with devs opting to focus more on frame-rates rather than full 1080p output). Rare did 2 HD launch titles, along with release Conker earlier in the year. 3 games in 2005 and 2 of those games had online functionality. That had to have been a tough year for the studio.
Zombi U multiplayer is very unbalanced tho. Whoever controls the zombie is bound to get TOO OP. You have currency and overtime you start to gain more. So eventually it gets to a point where they can start spamming the most OP zombi there is. The armored zombie which can only be killed by melee to the head to take off their helmet then shooting. But when you have like 15 of them chasing you. Melee is death sentence. So really matches literally last forever cuz there is no objective for the survivor. But in reality the match is only fun for like 4 minutes before the zombie spawned gets too op.
Going over Far Cry's multiplayer but not talking about Far Cry 2 with it's insane map editor that allowed for amazing custom maps in the early stages of the series?
It is such a shame that bungie has so completely abandoned destiny 2 pvp, because unironically it was so much fun when me and my friends were all playing it back in the day
Hardline's multiplayer is actually really really good, the problem is that it's good because it's a copy of BF4, which still existed and was still being supported, which meant it kind of had no reason to exist. Also it did have a couple unique and good ideas that I wish would be replicated elsewhere. The ziplines and grapple hook made camping much less prevalent and encouraged more movement, which helped it stay fast-paced when a lot of BF4s game can get kinda stalemate-y. And the other one is that is such a small change but is so nice, friendly grenades did not prompt grenade indicates, and friendly molotovs were blue flame and not red. This helped keep that mobility because in other games you can halt a push just by friendly grenades giving indicators and stalling your own team. This was especially bad in MW2019 where all thermite sticks look the same, but kill you insanely fast, so if you run past one thinking it's a friendly one, you're very quickly dead.
With the failure of the Friday the 13th and Texas chainsaw games, it’s obvious that multiplayer horror is a really difficult genre to succeed in long term. They’re really awkward to balance, confining to one horror franchise is awful for longevity and the licensing needed is probably crazy expensive, and it’s hard to differentiate considering it’s usually a hide and seek with objectives for survivors.
The F13 game only died because of the case going on with the license the devs and publisher were really open with the community showing us the new content they had and were working on but wouldnt be able to release, which ultimately killed all the momentum the game had. On the plus side they were able to go and help bring us the predator game(illfonic) and new TCM game(gun media).
Lost planet 2 was part of my core childhood memories. Loved playing Co-Op with my cousin. But yeah, the multiplayer mode outside of Co-Op was pretty lackluster. If we ever did it we’d just play locally. We loved playing the desert city level, the one where you have to take out the three legged ankrid (or whatever they were called- memory is hazy). Thank you for letting me reminisce on that, the opening scene with the train was just as iconic for me as the lighter sparking intro in Black ops.
I loved the battlefield hardline campaign! It was only game I’ve been able to find that gives me that cops vs robbers feeling without being overly tactical
I made a Far Cry 5 map that to this day I'm still proud of. It was a small mountain town with a lake that ran through the middle, and the central point was a bridge will all sorts of vertical combat and everything.
To be fair, RE:Verse IS a lot of fun. Unfortunately it’s infested with cheaters due to the forced cross play so all console plays stopped playing because they couldn’t opt out at all of playing with PC players.
My favorite part about the last of us part 1s multiplayer is that you could connect your PSN and Facebook, and have your Facebook friends be the members of your group. So if you didn't perform and get enough scrap or food, your Facebook friends could canonical die or leave the group
I'd actually buy the next Assassin's Creed game if they brought the multiplayer back. I'd much rather have Ubisoft make shorter single player games with multiplayer side modes than 100+ hour RPGs that feature cash shops
Multiplayer games ride or die by how much the game caters to a sole person's experience and how it creates a community. Halo, even with matchmaking, was designed to be a party game set in an FPS. Of course later games would cater to this with server browser, forge, etc, but the main point still stands. Comp only came to be after the game formed a community and had some time to settle. I'm not saying Competitive modes are bad but how you design them, and how they're implemented is important. Overwatch is an egregious example of a competitive scene being created for the sake of rather than having it created naturally. This led to the Devs. designing the game around the competitive audience which alienated the massive population of the casual audience. Honestly, A Multiplayer game should focus on player choice and a lone player's experience, because if it doesn't do those things right then your likely to fail. It makes me wish the era of server browsers didn't die, or become commercialized.
The resident evil multiplayer twist transforming into a monster was kinda neat. I will say that im glad that the ability to switch from third to first person is the standard now. I like third for running around sometimes, but for combat, its first and its not close imo
The last of us multiplayer was a hidden gem from it's day. THe only bad part of it was the DLC packs of weaponds and skills that made the game pay to win but it was easy to deal (on my experence). I miss those days
Does anyone remember MAG? I remember getting it because it could have 256 players in a single match. When I actually decided to play it I was able to play it for a week and later that month the servers were shut down… and since it was an online only game I just bought a useless disc.
I remember avoiding titanfall 2 on release because at that point i was exhausted of fast paced high octane shooters since in that era they were abundant. I wouldnt be suprised if that was other folks reasoning too
Max Payne 3’s multiplayer was honestly shockingly good when it came out. It was just extremely well done and functioned surprisingly well for an afterthought type mode. I still remember Assassins Creed Brotherhood’s multiplayer too. I’d have so much fun finding benches with 2 of the same character I had and blending making people have to pick like it was 3 Card Monty
Anybody else remember the xbox 360 game singularity? Survival horror game with time travel on a russian island, that also had a small multiplayer scene. Super fun monster vs soldier - defend the objective game modes.
the Lost planet multiplayer mode was in Lost Planet 2. I actually really enjoyed it, and I had a lot of fun playing it. I loved the gun sword. It was a gun that had sword that would extend and retract into the gun when you used the melee attack. It was so Cool, and fun to use.
The Gundam Evolution game was so fun for me, but the lack of cross-platform and basically starting at season 2 for us on console was bad. Then the announcement of the servers closing killed the game. Barley lasted a year smh.
For whatever reason, you forgot to mention the multiplayer mode for the avatar game on the ps3. I remember I had a capture the flag mode, and a team death match.
Wasn’t Resident Evil: Revelations’ Multiplayer pretty good?? I remember playing that 24/7, it had an addictive gameplay loop in which you got currency to buy stronger guns and medals for each mission
Guys the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was SO good. Ok, it wasn’t actually really that great, but I always played as the base Human Vanguard, because they had the most hilarious combo with the Biotic Charge/Nova. You just charge in from halfway across the map and slam energy in the enemy’s faces. It’s great. You can play Shepard that way too.
spent more hours than i will ever know in ME3 multiplayer. it was surprisingly deep and i enjoyed the progression system in that game. i loved grinding out levels to have an OP build. id also like to add that The game losing MP in the Remaster shouldnt be a point against it imho. MOST games when they get remastered/remade they cut the MP out of the game. happened with Crysis, TLOU, and various other games that were actually pretty fun to play MP mode in. idk why but usually when a game gets remastered/remade MP gets cut....Halo is just about the only game i think of that MP stayed intact in the Remaster/remakes. edit: idk what you guys are talking about crysis3 mp not being unique enough. i still do this day miss the ability to change attachments and equipment on my gear mid-match and mid kill. i wish more games would allow that. but games are too focused on balanced competitive focus. I would love to be able to get a kill in BF1 and then swap on a Sniper scope for a dude way off in the distance after i just got a close range skill. no other game allows you to do that kinda thing that i am aware of.
@@tripps_on_knivesWhen The Last of Us was "remastered" (ported to PS4) it kept the multiplayer. It was The Last of Us Part 1 (the PS5 remake) that didn't include it.
It is 2024, how have you not played any of the Bioshock games? I highly recommend you give them all a go. For the multiplayer aspect, I have never played it. It did not appeal to me.
On titanfall day there was 10k ppl on xbox best day ever now its around 2-3k everyday i just hate that after the ddos attacks from someone in the damn community ruined the game
There was a co-op Far Cry 3 mode though but I think you had to buy it? I was so addicted to it, sad when the remaster version didn't have co-op and then the servers got shut down!
Battlefield Hardline had an incredible multiplayer. Besides 4 it’s my most played battlefield, or maybe tied with 1. Phenomenal gunplay, a variety of fun and unique weapons, and it was surprisingly balanced too. Everything felt amazing and anytime who thinks hardline was a bad game is fooling themselves. Sure it might’ve not been “battlefield” game, but it was a far more competent fps than the garbage we have today.
I feel like its obvious as to why we keep getting "Resident Evil" games that are multiplayer and have very little to do with resident evil. The name resident evil will sell games on its own and Capcom wants a big multiplayer game because of the aggressive monetization those communities usually accept.
Resident Evil still has so much potential for a multiplayer mode. Sad that Capcom hasn’t been able to make something multiplayer that captures the spirit of the original games.
Maybe something like Outbreak, but I'm going to say please God no. Every time people ask for multiplayer in single player games it inevitably turns them to shit. Just look at Fallout, eg. Or the EA acquired 2010-2014 era single player franchises. Best case scenario you get a tacked on multiplayer that might as well not exist that's developed by a side studio.
Honestly, the only thing wrong with crucible was the running, so so much running and someone else could finish the objective when you were 3/4 of the way there. Broke up the fun too much. And the dead space 2 multiplier was secretly good. I played too much of it
The only reason Friday the 13th failed as opposed to Dead by Daylight because of licensing rights for the Jason movies, Dead by Daylight is a clone and hasn't come close to the gameplay F13 had. Years have gone by and DbD still only has one way of escaping the multiple maps they've released since launch.
I played the resident evil verse game last year and it was fun but there was a lot of connection issues and there was only one game mode so it got boring fast
I remember playing so much Lost Planet 2 before I could even read properly! I loved playing the story missions with people and the PvP just to look at people’s characters. Though I’m sure the rose-tinted opinion of someone who was 4-5 when playing might be fairly skewed lol
Friday the 13th was an indie game that blew up so much the servers couldn’t handle it. What every indie game dev wants. Even if for a couple months to a year.
i think it's crazy how hard hardline flopped, it is to this day still my favorite battlefield game, and i really enjoyed the campaign and liked how it was setup like a law and order type of show almost, and i fucking loved the multiplayer
For anyone who doesn't know, Titanfall 2's hacker situation got dealt with and now you can play the vanilla game again OR get the Northstar client for the same multiplayer and/or new gamemodes, weapons, custom rules thanks to mods and community servers.
Doom Eternal should have been included. Its multiplayer 'Battlemode' was a big wet fart. Even before the game released, most of the Doom fandom looked at Battlemode and thought *cue Joe Pesci meme* "What the fuck is this piece of shit?" What's strange is that id Software was pushing Battlemode HARD post-launch, desperately trying to make it popular. While the Doom fanbase screamed "JUST GIVE US CLASSIC DEATH MATCH!", Hugo Martin was like "So anyways, check out this new Battlemode demon skin!"
MEDTROID PRIME HUNTERS SUPERIORITY. I had it on a flash cart when I was a kid and would get on the school bus in the morning and everyone would get on their DS and launch Download Play so they could join my lobby even though I was the only person to own the game (illegitimately). Download Play was so badass.

Multiplayer mode “Because You never know; you might have the next call of duty on your hands” is so funny to me
Video Ideas: "Older multiplayer games that are still massively played today" & "Games one of you two enjoyed but the other didn't"
Titanfall 2 released one week after Battlefield & 1 week before a Call of Duty (Both still in their prime)
It had no chance period.
That's why I feel like Titanfall 2 could benefit from earlier release (2016) or early (2017) just to give fps players new game between big releases.

Respawn could've used more development time to work on Titanfall 2 because at launch the multiplayer felt pretty hollow and had alot of controversial changes.
A majority of Titanfall 2's maps (excluding the ones ported over from 1) are full of invisible barriers or out of bounds timers that stop the player from exploring interesting routes. some Titanfall 2's maps do feel as if they've been dumbed down to appeal to a more casual playstyle. crashsite, boomtown and drydock were deservingly disliked.
Drydock is the biggest offender of this. Given how Titanfall 1's Rise worked, it is absolutely baffling that Drydock is completely covered with invisible barriers along the top and walls you can't wallrun on. It completely nullifies any extra potential interesting routes. Drydock takes what Rise did well on and completely throws it out the window, on Drydock there are several walls that could lead to interesting routes that you can't even wallrun on. Not being able to wallrun on certain walls in a Titanfall game feels like a huge slap on the face.
At launch alot of people didn't like the titan loadout changes either or how the ttk on the weapons were ramped up. Removing the ability to switch out a titans weapon made it feel as if the titan wasn't yours. Titanfall 2 doesn't even let you change the titans os voice which was a great QOL feature. The maps in Titanfall 2 also had less interactivity to them. Titanfall 1 let you hack large turrets which allowed you to provide firepower for your team and one map even had a powergrid that could be used as a trap.
In Titanfall 2 many weapons outclass eachother where in Titanfall 1 each weapon had its own unique use in any given situation. Titanfall 2 was also less balanced at launch compared to how it is now.
Titanfall 2's campaign was a great addition but its biggest drawback according to the playerbase was that the campaign was too short.
If titanfall 2 just came out like a year later, it would have still been alive, and we would have not gotten trash apex
This isn't to say that 343 are a great developer by any means, but talking about reputation of a studio when Dice have released 1 playable good game at launch in the last decade is wild.
The vials you collect in RE:Verse don't allow you to turn back to human - you do that automatically once you die as a bioweapon. The vials you collect as a human determine the kind of bioweapon you can turn into.
Battlefield hardline mp was really fun. I used to love playing it with my friends when I got an Xbox one
A lot of people play crucible in D2 but it has been forgotten by Bungie in the past but now they started redoing some new updates.
Destiny 2's PvP should not be on this list
Missed mentioning the GOW Ascension multiplayer. That one was really something.
1:10:46 - Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl 2 is way more than just a repackage of the first game. It's a pretty good sequel, not just something they seem like they're going to drop and run.
You mention Conker. That came out in 2005 for the original Xbox. You know what else came out that year. The 360, along with 2 launch titles from Rare, Kameo and Perfect Dark. Doing a launch title for a new system is rough, and it was especially rough for HD consoles, since those required a lot more effort going from creating 280p/480i games to 720p (when the 360 launched, it didn't have an HDMI port and 1080p games were rare throughout the entire generation, with devs opting to focus more on frame-rates rather than full 1080p output). Rare did 2 HD launch titles, along with release Conker earlier in the year. 3 games in 2005 and 2 of those games had online functionality. That had to have been a tough year for the studio.
Zombi U multiplayer is very unbalanced tho. Whoever controls the zombie is bound to get TOO OP. You have currency and overtime you start to gain more. So eventually it gets to a point where they can start spamming the most OP zombi there is. The armored zombie which can only be killed by melee to the head to take off their helmet then shooting. But when you have like 15 of them chasing you. Melee is death sentence. So really matches literally last forever cuz there is no objective for the survivor. But in reality the match is only fun for like 4 minutes before the zombie spawned gets too op.
37:37 I know First Hunt as that one game that came bundled with the original DS in Europe.
Going over Far Cry's multiplayer but not talking about Far Cry 2 with it's insane map editor that allowed for amazing custom maps in the early stages of the series?
It is such a shame that bungie has so completely abandoned destiny 2 pvp, because unironically it was so much fun when me and my friends were all playing it back in the day
Hardline's multiplayer is actually really really good, the problem is that it's good because it's a copy of BF4, which still existed and was still being supported, which meant it kind of had no reason to exist. Also it did have a couple unique and good ideas that I wish would be replicated elsewhere. The ziplines and grapple hook made camping much less prevalent and encouraged more movement, which helped it stay fast-paced when a lot of BF4s game can get kinda stalemate-y. And the other one is that is such a small change but is so nice, friendly grenades did not prompt grenade indicates, and friendly molotovs were blue flame and not red. This helped keep that mobility because in other games you can halt a push just by friendly grenades giving indicators and stalling your own team. This was especially bad in MW2019 where all thermite sticks look the same, but kill you insanely fast, so if you run past one thinking it's a friendly one, you're very quickly dead.
Titanfall 2 was like an Anime it was the child and EA was the anime dad
Thumbs down till Titanfall 2 is removed from the thumb nail at least
Yea. Titanfall 2 on this list is a huge miss.
@halimbademjon ikr. "Claims" Dead multiplayer game but yet I still play in matches in 2024 with no problem.
With the failure of the Friday the 13th and Texas chainsaw games, it’s obvious that multiplayer horror is a really difficult genre to succeed in long term. They’re really awkward to balance, confining to one horror franchise is awful for longevity and the licensing needed is probably crazy expensive, and it’s hard to differentiate considering it’s usually a hide and seek with objectives for survivors.
eh thats not why friday the 13th failed
The F13 game only died because of the case going on with the license the devs and publisher were really open with the community showing us the new content they had and were working on but wouldnt be able to release, which ultimately killed all the momentum the game had. On the plus side they were able to go and help bring us the predator game(illfonic) and new TCM game(gun media).
Lost planet 2 was part of my core childhood memories. Loved playing Co-Op with my cousin. But yeah, the multiplayer mode outside of Co-Op was pretty lackluster. If we ever did it we’d just play locally.
We loved playing the desert city level, the one where you have to take out the three legged ankrid (or whatever they were called- memory is hazy).
Thank you for letting me reminisce on that, the opening scene with the train was just as iconic for me as the lighter sparking intro in Black ops.
I loved the battlefield hardline campaign! It was only game I’ve been able to find that gives me that cops vs robbers feeling without being overly tactical
Video starts at 2:00
Tlou Factions are still active right?! Like they didnt shut the down too that game is amazing. First thing i played when i got my ps5 2 months ago
Yup factions is still going strong, thousands of players daily. Sucks about factions 2 getting cancelled though.
I made a Far Cry 5 map that to this day I'm still proud of. It was a small mountain town with a lake that ran through the middle, and the central point was a bridge will all sorts of vertical combat and everything.
This is why games like these should also provide offline bots or splitscreen if possible
To be fair, RE:Verse IS a lot of fun. Unfortunately it’s infested with cheaters due to the forced cross play so all console plays stopped playing because they couldn’t opt out at all of playing with PC players.
27:02 God i miss playing this game online. it was so fun running away and dodging people and randomly getting assassinated or assassinating
Didn’t Titanfall 2 get occasional updates and cosmetics up to like 5 years after release?
My favorite part about the last of us part 1s multiplayer is that you could connect your PSN and Facebook, and have your Facebook friends be the members of your group. So if you didn't perform and get enough scrap or food, your Facebook friends could canonical die or leave the group
I'd actually buy the next Assassin's Creed game if they brought the multiplayer back. I'd much rather have Ubisoft make shorter single player games with multiplayer side modes than 100+ hour RPGs that feature cash shops
Multiplayer games ride or die by how much the game caters to a sole person's experience and how it creates a community. Halo, even with matchmaking, was designed to be a party game set in an FPS. Of course later games would cater to this with server browser, forge, etc, but the main point still stands. Comp only came to be after the game formed a community and had some time to settle. I'm not saying Competitive modes are bad but how you design them, and how they're implemented is important. Overwatch is an egregious example of a competitive scene being created for the sake of rather than having it created naturally. This led to the Devs. designing the game around the competitive audience which alienated the massive population of the casual audience.
Honestly, A Multiplayer game should focus on player choice and a lone player's experience, because if it doesn't do those things right then your likely to fail. It makes me wish the era of server browsers didn't die, or become commercialized.
The resident evil multiplayer twist transforming into a monster was kinda neat. I will say that im glad that the ability to switch from third to first person is the standard now. I like third for running around sometimes, but for combat, its first and its not close imo
The last of us multiplayer was a hidden gem from it's day. THe only bad part of it was the DLC packs of weaponds and skills that made the game pay to win but it was easy to deal (on my experence).
I miss those days
As someone who isn’t a battlefield fan, bf hardline is my fave battlefield game. The mode where the capture points were vehicles was so fun.
Does anyone remember MAG? I remember getting it because it could have 256 players in a single match. When I actually decided to play it I was able to play it for a week and later that month the servers were shut down… and since it was an online only game I just bought a useless disc.
I remember avoiding titanfall 2 on release because at that point i was exhausted of fast paced high octane shooters since in that era they were abundant. I wouldnt be suprised if that was other folks reasoning too
Max Payne 3’s multiplayer was honestly shockingly good when it came out. It was just extremely well done and functioned surprisingly well for an afterthought type mode. I still remember Assassins Creed Brotherhood’s multiplayer too. I’d have so much fun finding benches with 2 of the same character I had and blending making people have to pick like it was 3 Card Monty
Anybody else remember the xbox 360 game singularity? Survival horror game with time travel on a russian island, that also had a small multiplayer scene. Super fun monster vs soldier - defend the objective game modes.
the Lost planet multiplayer mode was in Lost Planet 2. I actually really enjoyed it, and I had a lot of fun playing it. I loved the gun sword. It was a gun that had sword that would extend and retract into the gun when you used the melee attack. It was so Cool, and fun to use.
The Gundam Evolution game was so fun for me, but the lack of cross-platform and basically starting at season 2 for us on console was bad. Then the announcement of the servers closing killed the game. Barley lasted a year smh.
For whatever reason, you forgot to mention the multiplayer mode for the avatar game on the ps3.
I remember I had a capture the flag mode, and a team death match.
Titanfall 2, massive potential released in between Cod and Battlefield, shame
Wasn’t Resident Evil: Revelations’ Multiplayer pretty good?? I remember playing that 24/7, it had an addictive gameplay loop in which you got currency to buy stronger guns and medals for each mission
Guys the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was SO good. Ok, it wasn’t actually really that great, but I always played as the base Human Vanguard, because they had the most hilarious combo with the Biotic Charge/Nova. You just charge in from halfway across the map and slam energy in the enemy’s faces. It’s great. You can play Shepard that way too.
spent more hours than i will ever know in ME3 multiplayer. it was surprisingly deep and i enjoyed the progression system in that game. i loved grinding out levels to have an OP build. id also like to add that The game losing MP in the Remaster shouldnt be a point against it imho. MOST games when they get remastered/remade they cut the MP out of the game. happened with Crysis, TLOU, and various other games that were actually pretty fun to play MP mode in. idk why but usually when a game gets remastered/remade MP gets cut....Halo is just about the only game i think of that MP stayed intact in the Remaster/remakes.
edit: idk what you guys are talking about crysis3 mp not being unique enough. i still do this day miss the ability to change attachments and equipment on my gear mid-match and mid kill. i wish more games would allow that. but games are too focused on balanced competitive focus. I would love to be able to get a kill in BF1 and then swap on a Sniper scope for a dude way off in the distance after i just got a close range skill. no other game allows you to do that kinda thing that i am aware of.
@@tripps_on_knivesWhen The Last of Us was "remastered" (ported to PS4) it kept the multiplayer. It was The Last of Us Part 1 (the PS5 remake) that didn't include it.
PC + PS5 port didnt keep it. ps4 ver. the servers have been shutdown. but it did launch with it on ps4@@redlion-paladin4609
Ft13tG was really fun and I found it more fun consistently than dbd for me and its so sad it fell apart the way it did.
Me too, i loved that game. Dbd is just a way different experience its not nearly as fun or immersive
The fact you used Conkers Bad Fur Day 64 and mentioned the xbox remake... subbed.
I feel like MGSV: The Phantom Pain’s multiplayer died too fast and I thought it was a fun PvP experience. At least from what I remember.
wolfenstein 2009 was on steam for a while...
It is 2024, how have you not played any of the Bioshock games? I highly recommend you give them all a go. For the multiplayer aspect, I have never played it. It did not appeal to me.
On titanfall day there was 10k ppl on xbox best day ever now its around 2-3k everyday i just hate that after the ddos attacks from someone in the damn community ruined the game
Battlefield Hardline’s online was some of the most fun I’ve had in a multiplayer shooter ever. That shit was AWESOME.
BF hardline was actually really fun. From the campaign to the multiplayer , i have too many memories
There was a co-op Far Cry 3 mode though but I think you had to buy it? I was so addicted to it, sad when the remaster version didn't have co-op and then the servers got shut down!
Nah FC3 coop was a free mode just like PvP, and recently the servers were brought back officially!
Battlefield Hardline had an incredible multiplayer. Besides 4 it’s my most played battlefield, or maybe tied with 1. Phenomenal gunplay, a variety of fun and unique weapons, and it was surprisingly balanced too. Everything felt amazing and anytime who thinks hardline was a bad game is fooling themselves. Sure it might’ve not been “battlefield” game, but it was a far more competent fps than the garbage we have today.
Hardline is great. I got the hardest gun to get before they made it easier to get.
BF Hardline was so good. The gameplay was good, the guns felt great, amazing new features that need to be in the next BF games and the music
I feel like its obvious as to why we keep getting "Resident Evil" games that are multiplayer and have very little to do with resident evil. The name resident evil will sell games on its own and Capcom wants a big multiplayer game because of the aggressive monetization those communities usually accept.
Resident Evil still has so much potential for a multiplayer mode. Sad that Capcom hasn’t been able to make something multiplayer that captures the spirit of the original games.
Maybe something like Outbreak, but I'm going to say please God no. Every time people ask for multiplayer in single player games it inevitably turns them to shit. Just look at Fallout, eg. Or the EA acquired 2010-2014 era single player franchises.
Best case scenario you get a tacked on multiplayer that might as well not exist that's developed by a side studio.
this second guy seems like an absolute joy to have in your party
Man AC Brotherhoods Multiplayer was soo fun, I would've been a esport player in that thing, nearly won every lobby, insanely fun Multiplayer
Honestly, the only thing wrong with crucible was the running, so so much running and someone else could finish the objective when you were 3/4 of the way there. Broke up the fun too much.
And the dead space 2 multiplier was secretly good. I played too much of it
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Dragon Age 4's (you know, 2014's game of the year winner!) multiplayer mode!
Not every game needs to attempt multi-player.. Especially games that have years of established single-player games in their history
On playstation, I always found a lobby for Friday the 13th up until they took it off the marketplace
The only reason Friday the 13th failed as opposed to Dead by Daylight because of licensing rights for the Jason movies, Dead by Daylight is a clone and hasn't come close to the gameplay F13 had. Years have gone by and DbD still only has one way of escaping the multiple maps they've released since launch.
You left out the resident evil 3 remake multiplayer mode
Capcom had a good Resident Evil Multiplayer in RE Outbreak and they just won't remake it. Game was too ahead of its time.
I played the resident evil verse game last year and it was fun but there was a lot of connection issues and there was only one game mode so it got boring fast
I remember playing so much Lost Planet 2 before I could even read properly! I loved playing the story missions with people and the PvP just to look at people’s characters. Though I’m sure the rose-tinted opinion of someone who was 4-5 when playing might be fairly skewed lol
Metroid Prime 2 did not have online multi-player and devs also said "it was for the Metroid fan, not the Halo fan"
Titanfall is still going with flightcore and such. I also heard they finally fixed the servers and have rotating game modes
Battlefield Hardline was the best Battlefield and I stand by that
Anyone remember the "Hood: Outlaws & Legends" game that came out back in 2021? That was short-lived for sure.
Titanfall 2 still poppin rn
For Battlefield Hardline, it was my first Battlefield I ever got into and honestly my preferred game of the franchise for some reason
Friday the 13th was an indie game that blew up so much the servers couldn’t handle it. What every indie game dev wants. Even if for a couple months to a year.
Max Payne 3 had a customized character for online the characters from story mode were unlockables for getting high levels
i think it's crazy how hard hardline flopped, it is to this day still my favorite battlefield game, and i really enjoyed the campaign and liked how it was setup like a law and order type of show almost, and i fucking loved the multiplayer
Seeing "they tried so hard" on comic sans it kinda funny lmao
What happened to Titan Fall 2 was a crime. I have no doubt EA sabotaged the release, by releasing it when they did.
For anyone who doesn't know, Titanfall 2's hacker situation got dealt with and now you can play the vanilla game again OR get the Northstar client for the same multiplayer and/or new gamemodes, weapons, custom rules thanks to mods and community servers.
what is the game in the first clip?
Doom Eternal should have been included. Its multiplayer 'Battlemode' was a big wet fart. Even before the game released, most of the Doom fandom looked at Battlemode and thought *cue Joe Pesci meme* "What the fuck is this piece of shit?"
What's strange is that id Software was pushing Battlemode HARD post-launch, desperately trying to make it popular. While the Doom fanbase screamed "JUST GIVE US CLASSIC DEATH MATCH!", Hugo Martin was like "So anyways, check out this new Battlemode demon skin!"
MEDTROID PRIME HUNTERS SUPERIORITY. I had it on a flash cart when I was a kid and would get on the school bus in the morning and everyone would get on their DS and launch Download Play so they could join my lobby even though I was the only person to own the game (illegitimately). Download Play was so badass.
Quantum of Solace multiplayer wasn’t revolutionary or anything but it was legitimately fun for a bit.
