XBOX might make a terrible mistake!

**hiter101** · 12-05-2002

they are so much promoting XBL and making a fuse about XBL games i dont think they realize most people dont have XBL and need to produce better single player games and give add ons not just to XBL people for example people who dont have live and bought SC still deserve the add on becayse they paid the same 50 bux its pretty sad that the only non XBL game that im excited about is Star Wars KOTOR

You can play XBL games without having XBL. Disregarding a game as having good single player simply because they are Live enabled is a huge mistake.

On a side note...

Brute Force, Star Wars: KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, DOAX Volleyball, Fable, many more non xbl games that are going to be great are on their way.

can u truley tell me games like mechassault and ghost recon are worth 50 bux a peace just for their single player

**Dirty DeStrO** · 12-05-2002

One more thing is that I think when Microsoft launched XBOX it was under the presumption that it would focus most of its resources to games with online capabilities. That fact was a big selling point to alot of people.

I haven't played them, so I couldn't tell you from my own experience. However, a friend of mine said that the MA single-player campaign was lots of fun. Dunno how long it was though...

Actually.....no it wasn't

**bbchs_trash** · 12-05-2002

Well actually, I think the downloads should be Live exclusive. You paid the same $50 for the game, but we paid the $50 for Live. And yes, Mech Assault is worth getting without Live. The single player is awesome, 20 missions long, and yes Ghost Recon's single player is also very good.

You complain like the only games that are coming out are Live games. Dude there are like a whole 8 Live games, half of which are sports games. Soo whoopie doo.... you act like they quit making Single Player games. If you're so up and mad about it get Broadband and Live.

They are not making a mistake, pointless topic!

**CharlieHustle** · 12-05-2002

Also Ghost Recon is very fun without live. You control a squad of 2 (4 per squad). You are only given a handful of soldiers. These are no stupid soldiers also *cough* conflict desert storm *cough*, they will advance do recon or cease fire at your order. You can also switch between soldiers at any point. So, you must try to keep them alive for further missions. You get to unlock specialists after each mission also. Its very fun to play offline.

8 games for now microsoft said that in 2003 they would have more then 50 XBL games 50! thats alot of games you may have paid extra but thats to compete against other but we should not be without added contesnt to games cuz we dont have XBL its like saying we get half the game and u get the whole game plus the ability to play online for the price of only 50 bux for a starter kit i really dont think its fair

**NINE BREAKER** · 12-05-2002

Mech Assault is hella worth the 50 bones! Don't know about SC, believe me I AM getting it, but MA's single player and multi player are awesome.

I've been playing Ghost Recon for about 3 weeks straight, and I've only gone online with it one time..and that was becuase a friend (Discretion) invited me in so I tried it. Online in incredible. Stupendous. Stellar.

Single player is just as good.

**qpid** · 12-05-2002

It's called a selling point, m$ is having the downloads and addons for games to get people to buy xbl

**SPARTAN VI** · 12-05-2002

FEAR NOT! MS won't make anymore mistakes, XBOX LIVE is a blessing as are the games that are coming to it. I think there will conitinue to be a steady flow of offline games as well as LIVE enabled games. Ehh... I hope.

Welcome to XBA qpid.

**rockola** · 12-05-2002

this is why I think MS isnt really advertising xboxlive that hard. people are already starting to think that just because a game is live enabled it isnt good withought. live is awesome and like it or not. internet gameplay will be a big part of any consoles future. but just because games are live enabled doesnt mean that the game isnt good for people that dont have it. yea sure some will be and some wont. but they said that 50 games will be live compatable. but what is the compatability. splinter cell is live compatable but it is strictly a single player game. MA is a good single player game, along with ghost recon but live adds to its replayability. and makes the game better than it is withought it.

dont fight it, get with it, you'll have a lot of fun

**bbchs_trash** · 12-06-2002

I wouldn't have payed the $50 bucks if there was no downloadable content. If they start giving it to the people who didn't buy it, or are whining about it, then I would be pretty ****ed off. You get the full single player experience so shutup. You don't get robbed. The extra levels for SC will be on OXM(well half of them) and most other downloadable content is meant for those of us on LIVE. More like mulitplayer maps, weapons, and characters aren't for those who aren't online. Just quit all your *****ing and moaning and buy Live... its not that expensive, I'm 15 and pay for it all, Broadband account and Live.

**hiter101** · 12-06-2002

Most people dont have Live because they dont have broadband and wil prob not be gettin it but releasing games like star wars galaxies which can only be playes on live will really hurt M$ because 80% of xbox owners dont have live

**shnike123** · 12-06-2002

Hmm i dont have braudband atm but if i my parents ever decide to get it live will be my first buy. I love playing pc games online and being able to take a consol online is even better. eheh oh and btw mech assault is very worth 50 bucks but i havent play ghost recon yet. Another thing BUY SPLINTER CELL NOW. hehe

**qpid** · 12-06-2002

Well according to iga via http://xbox.ign.com/articles/379/379464p1.html

"Those without Xbox Live won't be left behind
If you don't have Xbox Live, all of the online content will be made available to all gamers. The method for delivery hasn't been decided yet, but the content won't be offered until after it's available for download on Xbox Live."

Thanks for the welcome btw

Ghost Recon is a MUCH better single player game. It's multiplayer aspects are so bad that me and my room mate quite playing it together and just started seperate campaigns. Not being able to use a named specialist, not having stats for your generic troops, having to solve the same mission in the campaign and in a quick mission to unlock multiplayer missions and other unlocks sometimes have you beating the mission as a single palyer 5 times. UGH!!
