My Best mates favourite game is Destiny 2, i play it as often as i can with him (unless i talk him into playing some cod/siege) many times i have been unable to play with him due to the restrictions in some of the places i stay its not just sharing the connection hotel wide but also some hotels put a cap on your connection.

Okay, i could understand that you have to be connected to the internet, but why do you have to have ps plus for a single player game stupid lol
edit: just found out the game has co-op, still stupid to lock the single player aspect behind a paywall.

You needed paid PSN for Destiny until it went free to play I think? The singleplayer always ran on the shared world as everyone else? Maybe I'm tripping. There is an explanation to this I'm sure.

I somehow doubt platform holders tell every developer how each individual game should operate as far as online goes.

No I know my cousins kid was playing the campaign solo without online back with base Destiny 2, I'm sure you could always play the campaign levels on your own at least in 2, before it went free.

Well, Gearbox are the publishers, and I wouldn't really trust anything associated with Randy Bitchford.

If the game is always online it means it has an expiration date, sooner or later they'll shut down the servers. I'd rather that not happen. There's 0 reason for this game to require an internet connection.

Not saying I agree with it but this will be the reason. Its more like Destiny, division than I first thought. Its more of a games as a service game.

Suddenly my interest in Godfall went to zero. Not everyone is online all the time. Hell, I'm not online at all when I play because I don't bother with multiplayer games. Was it always known PS Plus was needed even when playing solo?

This isn't Sony, it's EA requiring it to be always online.
If you're upset with Sony for needing PS+ to play online games, you better be equally upset with Nintendo and Microsoft.

Is there a more recent faq than this one :
gearboxsoftware.zendesk.com
looking into it the faq avoid response to the question
same for gaas
i don't see why a coop/up to 3 players game need to be always online....
if it's the case all interest is lost for me
Thank for this thread making me investigating it....i was really thinking it was a full game with dlc (a la borderland) something i'm fine with

Funny how you immediately thought I was an xbox player. I never owned an xbox, PC/PS4 owner here my dude. If xbox makes you pay for fortnite then yes it's dumb as shit as well.

Every godfall thread was trolled relentlessly now all of a sudden 'they're not interested' in the game because of PS+ online requirement LMFAO
These guys are not too bright.
Still bought it. It's a fun game. Like someone else said in this thread: There are alot of 'concerned' people in this thread who have 24/7 reliable internet connections

So all the free to play games, or games like Destiny, on PS4 not requiring PSPlus to play solo; are you saying that was also the pubs choice and they were just randomly fucking over Xbox? This was always touted as something great/expected that Sony didn't do and something shitty that MS did but now it’s occurring on a PS5 game it’s not their fault? Can’t have it both ways.
I’m a Destiny diehard so this doesn’t affect me whatsoever, I’m always connected to online anyway and even then I might’ve just gotten this on PC. But I do find the mental gymnastics here kind of weird; everyone saying “well what’s the big deal, if you’re upset at this you should be upset with MS/Nintendo”. I mean, yeah, people were already upset at MS and Nintendo over this very thing. Don’t act like people not liking this from a Sony launch exclusive is out of left field or unfair. It’s only a single example but the fact Sony are allowing it sets the precedent.

Requiring PS+ even if you're playing single-player is fucking retarded

I did too. But there were times when Ubi's servers would be down. It was quite frustrating when I just wanted to play the single player.

That doesn’t even make sense, as 99% of the people saying how shit having to pay in this circumstance was, were PS players who didn’t have to do it. It’s pretty weak to hand wave people away and just assume they must be “Xbox fanatics” cause they’re not interested in a game for doing something that’s arguably shitty (that people have already been shitty with MS/Nintendo about). You guys do yourselves no favours immediately jumping to the console wars defence.

I think this is a record of continues bad news. Also the Destiny 2 comparison is false. You only pay for PS+ for Destiny 2 if you want to play multiplayer. You can play single player just fine. Yes, this was the case since the game launched. I know because I didn’t pay for PS+ for a good amount of that game at launch.

to be honest i dont give a single ef if you are a playstation,xbox or whatever,paying for online is dumb? its depens,if it brings a decent infrastructure andservices i dont mind paying 38 euros a year,im not broke,so i dont understand all the fuss with this game now and all that stupid " its like 2013 on reverse" observations,games as a service work in that way since a long time ago,i used the fornite example because its one of the biggest online games on the world and its freen on all systems except one,

Nope. You need PS+ only if you want group with others.

Does anyone actually know 'why' these single player games have to be online?
Almost all these threads boil down to people bitching at each other that they're somehow right but no one ever seems to know why..
WHY was the Crew online only?
Hitman?
Need for Speed?
The Division?
That ps3 Ace Combat game?
Just why? Do we have a conclusive answer? I wont accept 'because reasons', neither should you. There is zero reason for it.

The reasoning they claim is that you are connecting to a persistent world even if you are only playing solo.
I didn't know Godfall had any type of persistent world? Has that been outlined anywhere?

Yeah it sometimes happened to me too. I play Division 2 alot and sometimes there are server maintenance schedules that have the game down for 3 hours. Its frustrating because i love the grind in this game BUT i go find something else to do or play a different game.
I have accepted this online model since Xbox first tried to push it in 2013. All games are eventually going this way so yeah the people finding this surprising is either completely out of touch with reality or are trolling or both.
A few years ago i mocked people for saying games were going to move from physical to digital in a big way in the coming years and look where we are now.
The industry is changing and evolving and now we have big companies pushing for games as a service. Accept the changes and game on or just do something else and quit complaining on forums.

It was not to my knowledge and i assumed it would be same business model than borderland
and this is not out of the question when they sell add-on dlc on epic.

This.
Also doesn't online only model allow developers to capture statistics in real time maybe like most played map or weapons used etc.
I know Division 2 undergoes a lot of server maintenance almost weekly which blocks out the single player portion of the game as well. Surely there is a reason for these server breaks?

If everything is handled server side, you can change things server side without the need to push a patch through the certification process.
Player and enemy damage can be adjusted instantly, weapon damage, drop rates, enemy occurrence frequency (rare enemies) and it also makes it impossible to cheat, since nothing is stored on the console (aside of, maybe, game settings).
There are advantages in doing things this way.
