A reason later I found out that multiplayer and online play are the worst. Hell before this online only trend they couldn't goad you into paying for cheats basically. Sure there were addicted assholes that would spend money on magazines and shit for cheats and hints but when it became mandatory to have an internet connection and register was required at purchase I knew the game industry had gone to shit and not to save for another game ever again. This just hammers that fact deeper in. Yes the best gaming was when the game not the underlying buy buy buy multiplayer was added on progressively like politics to draw you into the hidden trap later on.
