Why no love for SP buyers?

Post » Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:36 pm

What is it with these games always having a bunch of MP preorder bonuses? Not everyone plays MP, so why aren't we ever offered some SP bonuses as a thanks for preordering? I was about to preorder but there's no way I will now. I don't give a rat's bum bum about early MP unlocks or bonus XP or lame skins and dog tags.

And I certainly will not pay extra for something I will never use. I mean that's why the current preorder price is 79.99 right? Just like with Mass Effect 3. The Deluxe edition is 20 bucks dearer just for the MP crap and the bonus fluff content. And the base game on its own is 59.99. So why isn't there a base C3 preorder available?

Cause people probably care more about MP unlocks than SP unlocks! Don't get me wrong, I love the Crysis campaign too, but why would anyone pre-order for a SP exclusive?

I don't understand preorder bonuses at all. Well actually I do, I just don't like them. I don't like the fact that my gameplay is affected by external "non-game" factors (in this case, when I've bought the game).

you for real? If C3 was meant to be a strictly multiplayer VS game with no solo campaign mode, then your question would make sense. if people are buying it just for MP and have no intention of playing the solo campaign mode, then they're stupid beyond description.

Well, Crysis was always centered around the SP mode, but nowadays, everyone can pirate the SP and play it. That's why people want a good MP!

I completly agree. I don′t give a damn about MP and roughly half of my friends that play FPS are also totally indifferent about MP-content.

What I would like to see instead as a bonus would be extra SP-content. Not some garbage like an extra weapon or trash like a different style of your armor, no, an extra playable area that extends the SP-campaign with say...20minutes - half an hour.

By no means vital or important to the story as a whole, but still a worthwhile extra. THAT would be a pre-order bonus worth going for!
