Now we all know that most of the multiplayer done in gaming is bad, so I'll sum it up for ya, but I'll have to give a take on both the Goods and the Bads of Multiplayer Transactions.
Of course I have to go with the awful hate that goes on with your typical 12 year old gamer, but most of what gaming is today, is nothing but online interactions! No split screen either! The joyful gaming that made a 4-player match awesome and memorable! Gone out of our hands! We are forced to play with that stupid ass kid that no one will try to kick or vote kick (For you PC Gamers). Will our children ever see and play the awesome split-screen multiplayer matches that marked us as kids with that awesome 007 64 game?
Most people say that our generation of gaming will end with us destroying what was awesome back then and create something new with what we already have. Online matches can be fun, but some are just repetitive and just... Well, hard! With all those awesome players that take this match as serious as a FIFA fan on crack! STOP IT WITH THE HEADSHOTS!!!!
Well. now to the "Good" topic that was so anticipated for. Now a lot of people love, and I mean, LOVE getting to know people that they met on CS: GO or CoD. My cousin met his wife when he played Halo 2 for the entire day! Meeting people might be the half of what's cool, but a lot of my friends are either from Canada, England or Japan, and I met them all on a single match of Team Death Match on Gears of War 2.
And that's the thing, I met them from either half way around the world or a country above me! You can meet any now a days. People from across the world can meet all at once by just playing a match of Slayer or King of the Hill. As bad as it sounds, actual terrorists contacted each other by playing CoD Black Ops 2. Reason why the network was temporarily taken down in early 2015.
The one thing that haunt gaming as a whole is that the multiplayer option can be forced on you. Titanfall is of those games that hit us big. A triple A game can become one of Indie's finest sellers on Steam. You can't say Team Fortress 2 is a triple A game because it's a what I like to call a mini game: a game of which you play for the sake of fun instead it being based on story or plot. As soon as one of gaming's funnest factors became what it is now, people are worrying about the next generation that may happen... God the humanity of what could come...Zelda Tri-Force Heroes became such a game... The pain it brought when I saw it...
Now what can even this out? Another good to even the bad. What is it? Oh! Besides the friends, besides the people across the world, there is triumph in each match you complete. The teamwork you brought after defeat the infamous Blue Team. The score you got on Death Match. Everything in each match that you can achieve makes you feel good! Yes! I finally won a match in TF2! Finally! I killed my player in CoD! It's just an awesome feeling to get when you finally achieve a goal you could pass in the past or even for days after doing it.
What you think of what I had to say? I know there's a lot of things that make you mad or happy in today's multiplayer gaming and I know I might have missed a few or more. Wait... Are you going to answer me this time?
And 'til next time...
