Very easy to understand. Taking out local multi-player forces players to buy multiple copies and systems to play with their friends. Online multi-player is great and all but nothing tops talking shyt to your friends when you bust their ass in Halo, 2K, Mario Kart, etc. right as they're sitting next to you.
Nintendo is still the king of local multi-player but that's more cause their online is a damn joke compare to XBL and PSN

Yeah it's crazy the new Halo got rid of local and a couple others just terrible. The last game I played that had local was Borderlands

King of Fighters 2006
kof-maximum-impact2-character-select-screen.png

-38 playable characters
-Each character had 16 costumes/colors each
-Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Mission Mode, Survival Mode, Time Attack Mode, Vs. Mode, etc.
-A mode that gave you the profile and backstory of each character including fighting style, country of origin, age, hobbies, etc.

No DLC, everything included in the game.
---------

In wrestling games, entire match types have steadily been removed from the games. Backstage modes gotten rid of and now you can only fight backstage in a specific match type. In No Mercy every character had 4 costume slots and you could edit all the costumes however you wanted plus you could create your own match types like a First Blood Royal Rumble(eliminated when you bleed) or a Fatal Four Way Iron Man Match.
---------

In Resident Evil 3 when you beat the game you unlock 5 extra costumes and 7 extra costumes in the Dreamcast version. You already know this would be DLC these days.

---------
On PS2 when you beat Resident Evil 4 you unlock 3 extra game modes.

All of the Resident Evils had Mercenaries Mode IIRC but still.

If this game came out today, all 3 of these modes would be separate paid DLC and so would the extra costumes. :smh:

Shows how disgraceful the Street Fighter V launch was. I don't give a fukk how good the gameplay is, Capcom can eat a dikk for releasing a game at full price with half the content and half the characters. And then they have the gall to charge for the characters that should have been in the game at launch.

you could lift weights, you had to eat or your health would go down and actually had to go in restaurant, you could gamble in casino, gamble on horse races, go to the lot physically and buy a new whip...
I think it's gonna be a while before developers are able to balance actual gameplay elements with scope and size of these games

On Snes or Sega Genesis don't remember but on the NHL game whenever you finish your game you could watch the final seconds or minutes of a game still playing after your game.

that feature was on the OG Madden from Sega too I believe

its to make room for graphics.. they think all we care about is how realistic a game looks... we don't care about gameplay

and also 75% of these kids don't even know about or care about the past to even know those features existed

but as far as football goes .. I miss front page sports 96 on my PC ... they did stuff still not done today..
the trades where realistic.. I was able to realign divisions
Have you read the rest of the threads on the arcadium? Console & game threads are usually 75% full of posters complaining about graphics and frame rate. Idk if it's just me, but anytime I watch a new game trailer, I'm just looking at if it's fun or not, not analyzing its FPS and graphics

I know .. I was saying programmers are taking away features and gameplay so they can try to improve the graphics...
me personally .. I want gameplay and fun

do you think its a coincidence they redoing all these old ps1/ps2/Nintendo/sega games from 15-20 years ago ...
throw graphics and frame rate out the window.... most of these next gen games are not fun after 60 minutes or have little to no replay value.
