Dedicated to sharing news and details on console games that feature fully OFFLINE bots, AI Horde/Survival modes and highlighting great single player experiences
Playable-on-disc? Must be the Baldur's Gate 3 - Deluxe Edition.
Preorder:
The Deluxe Edition for PS5, Xbox, and PC includes the Digital Deluxe edition, as well as exclusive physical feelies, including a 3-disc OST, map, and more - all for $79.99.
It’s true… QUAKE II is available NOW on all platforms! 💥
XB:
PS:
Switch:
Includes the NEW “Call of the Machine” expansion, Quake II 64 for free, local and online co-op multiplayer, crossplay, and MORE!
For anyone wondering, YES you can play campaign early access if you get a PHYSICAL DISC copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, I can confirm this works on both PS5 and Xbox Series X.
@ObsoleteSony
Nostalgia plays a big part but honestly the problem nowadays is no one risktakes, it's all safe bet IPs now, we don't even get sequels to those either, it's all just micro updates and 'content updates'
Bring me back to the PS2/PS3/Xbox/Xbox 360/GCN/Wii days, at least then we had
@DaveOshry
Most people don't know once you finish the campaign once, you can actually replay it with traditional FPS health mechanics with health pickups and wearable armour on it's second play through.
there is a clip somewhere of it being show at E3, and all the journos going oh wow this
FYI this is about 85% of all
@Ubisoft
games.
GR Breakpoint
Skull & Bones
Rainbow Six Extraction
Recent Just Dance Games
For Honor
Crew 1 and 2
Division 1 and 2
All have expiry dates
The Crew has delisted and will remain playable until March 31st, 2024. After this date, the game servers will shut down, which means the game will not be accessible anymore.
Evil Dead the Game's Bots WILL NOT function offline.
Entire game is online only.
Please tweet to the devs that you want offline support and we hopefully can get it changed like Back 4 Blood.
As we get ready for this Friday’s launch, the Evil Dead: The Game devs answer questions about player roles, balance, replayability, lore, single-player gameplay options, and much more in today’s Community Q&A video:
@Th3Bat0fG0tham
@Wario64
I won't be anymore.
Its not about INTERNET access.
Would you buy a book if 10-15 years later the book stops being readable?
It's basic consumer rights.
A good should be a good, not a SERVICE
@FortuneKingYT
@DoesItPlay1
This is coming from an Xbox Series X owner as well as over 20 other Xbox consoles in my house...
Back compat REQUIRES INTERNET for downloading dude, they also already stopped the program, let alone the forced activation.
Doesitplay is about PHYSICAL preservation
This game is badass
It's going to have a full offline progression system and is all about offline bot matches.
It looks and plays awesome.
also 32:9 support
The offline preview demo for Out of Action is now available on Steam!
Try it out, expect issues, keep your expectations realistic, shoot some bots, shoot them again, but most importantly... have fun! (hopefully).
@corybarlog
as an advocate for offline COMPLETE disc builds of games, for the sake of preservation NEVER do this please.
Don't let the few ruin it for FUTURE generations.
@PBValve
Americans are getting upset, everyone else not so much.
Police is such an underused theme for shooters, I'm sad we don't get more of them.
This just reminds me of how awesome Urban Chaos Riot Response is.
@mikegarndesign
Also Rainbow Six Vegas 2
- full offline progression system that worked online and offline as well as between modes
- LAN support
- split-screen
-campaign incl co-op.
Rainbow Six Siege does exact 0 of these.
I refuse to believe The Walking Dead: Destinies is an actual game. I'm convinced it's an elaborate prank by the developers to see if anyone actually takes it seriously.
Someone showed me an early copy version (with tomorrows update installed) for MWIII
FFS, it's got the EXACT same 3 bugs that MWII has because they share the same UI
- attachments all locked
- can't select custom classes during a match
- press o bug works for custom class 1
100% you are wrong here.
The Xbox Series X requires updates for backwards compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games to function, you CAN NOT just put the disc in .
You are factually wrong.
Now this is how you do END OF LIFE support for an online only game, by releasing a FREE version that works with offline bots!
Hell yeah, win for for offline bot gamers.
You can get the FREE Private hosted server edition for PC here:
That's a wrap, folks… Now Knockout City's gone offline, but the party never stops! Play the Private Hosted Server Edition, Jam to the Knockout City soundtrack, and check out the Pirate Radio podcast to get your KO fix anytime! Catch you on the flip side!
Here we go again
I have about 20 comments already like this on my latest video about lack of offline support in Black Ops 6.
I hope PSN and XBL or Activision servers crash at launch.
@ProRebornYT
@videotechx
You live in gamer bubble online world.
There are literally thousands of gaming consumers who don't go on social media.
Most consumers don't give a crap about frame rates etc
Treyarch really said "Oh you like Zombies? Here's literally EVERY feature you could've ever wanted, and been asking about for years."
Seriously, Black Ops 6 Zombies looks incredible. Cannot WAIT to play this on October 25th!
Pretty impressive early access title here, some rough bits but looks to be shaping up to be a solid game.
✅Supports OFFLINE play
✅Class system with unique gear for each faction
✅Supports 24 bots
✅Various modes like Conquest, Gun Game and TDM
@InsurgencyGame
More offline content please.
Can OFFLINE players please get more modes like survival mode?
Can OFFLINE players please get all the cosemtics unlocked?
@Win98Tech
They need to stop with their online only DRM fetish for one.
Get back to Ubisoft basics
- Bring back Prince of Persia
- Bring back single player focused Clancy titles
- Remake Far Cry 2
- New 3D platformer Rayman
- New IP that isn't online multiplayer or a Battle Royale
> Multi Million Dollar development cycles
> Adds AI Bot team mates
> Makes game online only
Helldivers II and Suicide Squad, both could have been amazing single player OFFLINE games, even if they added support later, damage is done and solo offline players will forget they exist
@TheGhostOfHope
Black Ops II 9GB
- 4 player split-screen
- offline zombies mode

@OpHarshDoorstop
Fantastic offline support and single player focused
✅Plays OFFLINE
✅Has OFFLINE BOTS 64v64
✅Realistic teams/factions/classes
Oh and it's FREE, If you like games like Insurgency, you will love this
Insurgency is very consistant and getting maps and weapon DLC that works OFFLINE.
Please if you haven't and like military bot shooters, give this one a go, it's criminally underrated and often on very good sale prices.
🌠UPDATE 1.14 OPERATION: ACCOLADE is coming soon 🌠
Get ready! Our next major content update coming to Insurgency: Sandstorm on March 30th!
Stay tuned for reveals and more information over the next few days.
@Treyarch
"Black Ops 6 needs to be online only because of texture streaming"
hacked PS4 build works fully offline perfectly fine
Corporate word salad, you are forcing online to sell MTX.
I've bought COD on every platform, day 1 for 2 decades.
You can get fucked with your online only BS
@Th3Bat0fG0tham
@Wario64
Do you know how many people say this to me every time this argument happens?
the chances of that happening are EXTREMELY LOW.
If it was that easy to implement offline support, it would have it from the START.
"No ONe PlAyS GaMEs FrOm 10 YEaRs Ago"
"No OnE plAyS Offline wiTH BotS"
Literally posted on Reddit today, and yes I did give him all the information he could ever need about offline bot support on Black Ops 1 and Xbox 360 in general.
@dark1x
Literally giving you game an expiry date by doing this.
If we purchased books and the publisher said well in 15 years, the book will be unreadable...it wouldn't fly with consumers.
Unsure why people accept this in gaming.
I've been an avid fan of Hypercharge: Unboxed since it launched on Switch many years ago and it's now on Xbox too.
@HyperchargeGame
is an awesome indie team who CARES about OFFLINE play
- OFFLINE BOTS
- OFFLINE PROGRESSION
- OFFLINE WAVE BASED DEFENSE
- 4 PLAYER SPLIT-SCREEN
Skylanders is a cool series.
What's cooler is replacing all my figures with complete NFC sets of Skylander Coins so I don't have to pay $500 USD for ONE 'rare' figure.
All I'm seeing is people bitching that TimeSplitters has no trophies...
Do people not play for FUN anymore?
Do you need arbitrary reward systems to let you know when to activate your dopamine?
Jesus Christ, just enjoy the damn game people.
and here we go all the stupid comments about
It's 2024 don't you have internet to play COD?
Would you buy a physical book if the publisher could just make it unreadable whenever they want?
How about a car that just dosen't work because the manufacturer said oh it's old?
no?
@TwoStarGames
I'm sick to death of modern game design,
People measure games by time played instead of entertainment had, peoole are more inclined to say a game is better because it made them repeat the same gameplay for 40+ hours to grind for an arbitrary cosmetic reward...
@OrdinaryGamers
Piracy is key to preservation, sorry not sorry.
I LEGALLY OWN Marvel Ultimate Alliance DLC on Xbox 360, it was delisted years ago, and is no longer downloadable even if you own it.
Piracy is the only option here.
I find the people saying stuff like
"It wouldn't fit on the disc anyway"
Missing the fact that code in a box means:
- no lending or borrowing copies
- no second hand/used copies
This is to push gamepass onto consumers.
Forza Horizon 4 will delist on December 15th
Starting today, June 25; Forza Horizon 4’s DLC will get delisted from platforms, meaning that only Forza Horizon 4 Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions will be available for purchase from this day until
Remember when you bought a fighting game and just played against the CPU?
like....does not one enjoy that anymore? I can boot up Tekken, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat anytime and just play a couple of rounds and turn it off.
Why is everyone obsessed with online?
@RWSstudios
Online only DRM will collapse the AAA industry imo.
I refuse to not only not buy, but even play games with online only DRM.
Yes, even if they were free.
I will not encourage that practice.
@Treyarch
No offline campaign/bots?
No buy.
Ruined an entire franchise with your MTX Greed.
PS4 leaked build works OFFLINE.
So making it online only was a conscious decision of yours
Hard disagree.
If you are talking about bots in your ONLINE game, I get it, but FPS games should have offline bot support, it does give the game longevity.
I can still play games multiplayer modes like Timesplitters and Unreal Tournament, BECAUSE they have offline bot support.
First hot take of 2023:
I'm getting tired of gamers begging for Multiplayer game devs to put bots in their games.
The vast majority of players don't care about bots and adding bots won't give your game longevity. Most players will boot up, see its all bots and leave/refund.
@charlieINTEL
And people wonder why having OFFLINE support in Call of Duty 6 is needed.
Both PSN and XBLA down in the last week.
Would render the game unplayable.
Brink
✅Free on Steam
✅Works offline
✅Supports offline bots
✅Supports offline LAN
✅Full offline progression system
✅Customizable characters/Weapons
This is an underated gem, and often super cheap to pick up on Xbox 360/PS3 as well
Well then
@Ubisoft
where's the offline modes for
For Honor
Rainbow Six Extraction
Ghost Recon Breakpoint
The Division 1 and 2
The Crew 1
Skull & Bones
Recent Just Dance Games
We heard your concerns about access to The Crew games
Today, we want to express our commitment to the future of The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.
We can confirm an offline mode to ensure long term access to both titles, stay tuned for more news in the next months.
MWIII patch 1.33
Does not fix anything for OFFLINE multiplayer.
- attachments snd gear still broken
- can't select custom classes
- 24 player glitch still works
@WarzoneTFN
I only want 3 things
- Offline Bot support
- MW3 (2011) offline progression system separate from online
- Loadout restrictions/setting of custom classes so you can force bots on each team to use specific loadouts
even better if you could choose EVERY bots loadout individually
Wow the UI designer of Modern Warfare III actually responded to me regarding the MWII and MWIII OFFLINE UI Bug, this is a good sign hopefully
Thanks
@benfurneaux
for being one of the cool ones who actually listen.
Protips:
- Play more indies
- Spend more time playing games instead of watching others play them
- Stop grinding arbitrary reward systsms in games and just play for fun
It feels like gaming as a whole has stopped growing. Like we hit a wall or a peak or people got it all out of their system with the pandemic and what not.
I don't know any gaming YTers that are really growing rn. Everything is stagnant and I don't see how it picks back up.
