Fire Hawk D said:I'd bet my hat that the number of people who buy the game (for whatever reason) far, far, FAR outweighs the people who don't buy the game JUST because of multiplayer.
But how many people are only playing the multiplayer because there are achievements in it?
Most of the tacked-on MP I have played is not actually all that terrible - Tomb Raider, AC: Brotherhood, ME3, etc - but I didn't really want it, and wouldn't have played it without the blackmail of MP achievements.
Of course, I'm not sure how much I'd want to play even something like L4D2 or GoW3 if there were no achievements at all in the MP. It's a tough one to call.
