Arcades were great. It was always fun to play with friends or a date. Plus, arcade games were usually pretty simple so even people who weren’t gamers could learn to play pretty quickly. I feel the same way about how some studios release unfinished games or try to scam customers into buying a complete product for additional fees. And local multiplayer is always great, playing with your friends and family beside you in the same room. Online play is great for other reasons but playing with strangers isn’t a guaranteed good experience. Luckily there are still quite a few games that come out as promised on release date but it’s a decreasing number, forcing people apart who like to play together. Maybe it’s the economy or the damn business logic of it — forcing people to buy more consoles, rather than controllers. But breaking up full games into half games and DLC’s is pretty messed up. Wonder how gaming will change in another ten years, hopefully for the better. Good post. I haven’t thought of Nintendo 64 in decades, but now I remember loving playing Starfox local multiplayer with friends.

Yeah, the arcades were wonderful places because not only gamer had fun. On the other hand I don't get why most companies are forcing online modes only, the best for everyone would be that all multiplayer games feature both local and online modes. I hope the future of gaming change for the better too. Thanks for your opinión dude!
