[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8009387, member: 18"] OK, I take it's that's your view, but if you look at reviews from the time, they generally say the opposite re MP. Many reviews of DOS2 massively praise the multiplayer, even whilst noting it's different from the previous game. Loads of people have written about how great they thought DOS2's MP was, what an amazing time they had. Rock, Paper, Shotgun had a regular column quite recently about the misadventures of two people playing it MP and clearly having a great time. Further, you're saying it "sucks big time" for MP, but you also very specifically said you'd [I]never played it [/I]MP. So what are you going on? Reviews tend to say otherwise. You have no experience of it. So you're going on assumption? What other people have said on other messageboards? What? That seems like a strong statement to make after specifically saying you'd never tried something. Do I suspect you're correct? Sure. I strongly do suspect you're right. But it's immaterial, because reviews ranged form the neutral to the very very positive about the MP, and that includes a lot of the early player reviews. And my point is that people buy games based reviews and based of word-of-mouth, and even if this has changed and somehow escaped my notice, at launch and for some time thereafter the reviews and word-of-mouth were that DOS2 had MP and the MP was cool.
