Multiplayer/Co-Op & Frictional Games? NO!!!

[Rowedekhelicon]

I think that the creation of game should fulfill following goals:
1. To get money (not so important - maybe a little :-))
2. To create good game, which would amuse players
3. To create immortal game.
And sorry, but adventure cannot reach the third goal. When you're playing alone, the game cannot become immortal. And this immortality always depends on Multiplayer.

I'm sorry, but that's just completely backwards and wrong.

What's immortal about a multiplayer game when in 5 years time few people will even be playing the game anymore? They'll have moved on to bigger and better things. The only way to attain true immortality is to have a strong single player experience. One that stays near and dear to your heart for all time. One that will keep you returning for a sense of nostalgia or just because it was that damned fun. I have many such games.

Multiplayer prolongs the lifetime of a game, but it certainly doesn't make it immortal. It's a short-lived thing (relatively speaking) that almost always dies out at some point after a game's initial release.
