Peeves and Preferences!
#9
Phantasy Star Online's oficial servers died a while ago, but the comunnity managed to create their own free servers. most of the older games with early internet access were not using it as an integral part of the gameplay, as it is now. the Dreamcast, for example. most of their games opened the internet acess for console gaming but there wasnt any game that actually relied on it(not even PSO, who was a MMORPG with single player mode).

Now what i completely disagree and reject is the said dependancy on internet. as in the only replay value of some games is the "MULTIPLAER ONLINE" function. not like in the past there was games that only relied on said multiplayer gameplay, but hell i remember Bomberman 64 being one great game to either play alone or with 4 dudes equally.

and what i really find wonderful is the existance of platforms such as wiiware or steam. it really opened a market and the posibility for basically anyone to be able to create a game and being able to reach such a massive audience that in normal ways would be imposible for several factors.
