Bots are always a good addition to increase the shelf-life of the game, there are a lot of games that you simply can't play anymore because the servers are gone, or the player-base has moved on to something else, or sometimes you have to install mods/user-made patches to play online, like with the older Battlefield games. Also for some more realistic games with complex mechanics [Project Reality, Forgotten Hope 2] or games with a veteran player-base [like Red Orchestra] playing against bots makes for good practice. The stakes are low because if you screw up, you're not screwing over your entire team and getting kicked from servers all the time. You can learn the mechanics of the game without ruining an entire round for the whole lobby. Ultimately I think it's good for a game's community to have bots so people can at least learn basic mechanics, plus once the player-base starts to disperse you can keep lobbies alive somewhat longer by adding bots to sparsely populated servers.
You forgot to add 'playing offline with bots is just as good as, if not better than, playing online with humans. Playing offline with bots is fun.' Yet you still somehow tie them to online multiplayer. Shame.
I think bots are good for the longevity of a game. Growing up I didn't have many friends and the one I played games with lived 20 miles away and our parents did not want to drive or agree on who drove and when. Games like killzone were nice for me because I had multiplayer but with the computer sure they weren't amazing but it helped simulate multiplayer for me
I think bot matches should be an option for all FPS/TPS games. I love chaotic shooter action but at the same time I sometimes prefer playing with the same modes and weapon loadouts by myself. Not to mention that online-only games that fail tend to be unplayable due to closed servers. Meaning that I can't be able to play MAG, Lawbreakers, The Punisher: No Mercy, or Battleborn even for curiosity.
I would agree. My biggest gripe is when games are online only with no bots like MAG, socom confrontation, I think overwatch? Because what happens when the servers are gone. The games turn into paperweights. So what now?
Ill be honest, I still play quite a few games that I used to online when I was younger. But living out where I did, internet was often divided up into times of day in terms of usage, so bots always came in hand for me, games like counter strike and team fortress classic had bot mods that were near impossible to beat at best and at least competent at worst. Lately I have seen bot mods for older call of dutys i used to play on my playstation back in the day, like modern warfare 2, cod 4 and world at war, and they play act just like tryarch's bots do, plus being able to do some extra things like dropshotting and all sorts of player created tactics, this mod has even been implemented into the combat training for black ops 1, making the ai much better, and allowing you to prestige with the bots. The reason I go on my tangent about these things is because i missed out on a lot of hours playing some of these games that didnt have bots, and now that i can play them with bots, and complete challenges and get unlocks as well, it adds a whole new dimension to the content I can play around with in these old games, and the fact that these bots are being updated currently really makes me happy to see that other people truly do care about a good experience offline, because what if im on my laptop at 30,000 feet in the air and want a good match of dom? what if a storm hits and our router is unable to connect for a few days, now I dont ever have to miss out on some good fragging action in these classics, and with some bots that can truly wipe the floor with me and make it look totally fair, I owe the creators of these mods more than they could ever imagine for this!
I asked this question about 14 years ago on my old channel, but now there are way more games with bots, when I posted a video on my old deleted channel they had pertty much stopped making games with bots to prevent piracy and focus on multiplayer back then, I got 100's of comments saying bots are pointless and stupid and only newbs and people who suck at fps want to play with bots, but fortunately that has changed in the last few years, with Battlefield 2042, ready or not and so many others trying to make more advanced A I and finaly realizing that without A I or a dedicated mutliplayer fanbase a fps game is just some empty maps and a selection of weapons - useless.
@@FoxParasyte who is going to download a pirated battlefield, or battlefront, or unreal tournament without bots ? its just empty maps, unreal 3 2007 was so heavly pirated, they stopped making it. because you can play it offline.
Activision spent a lot of money the late 2000's so it would have drm protection that would force you to play online with bots in MW2 and BO 1, most devs did not have that kind of money. Im speaking about PC, consoles versions there are more games with bots. because its more of an offline device.
@@DizzyGamerOfficial thankfully me being a very small channel im able to reply to comments and chat. If i do ever get big *which I doubt I will* I fear i won't be able to talk to you guys as much.
Yeah I feel this hard.. I don't really enjoy playing online or trying to grind for stats/ranks anymore. Gaming is supposed to be about having fun, not about feeling anxious or unhappy dealing with other players, cheap tactics and stressful rankups. Battle Royale used to be my favorite when it first came out, but I quickly realized I didn't enjoy the feelings of stress, negativity and anxiety you get from hiding or trying to win the game. I much prefer games with bots for this reason. I mostly play Ravenfield, which is a bot only, high customizable FPS on PC/Mac. Otherwise,I try to play games like CS, Quake and others that have bots readily available. Great video, I like your channel; you seem to have some great, original ideas.
Thank you! I dont nessesarily mind the anxious feeling when your playing battle royal games or when your playing competitivly and the game is close. That I do enjoy. But I dont want that all the time. Ill have to look into that game you suggested sounds interesting.
They should include bots for three reasons: -to practice aim and tactics so you can be prepared against Real players -In case of Bad Internet connection and being unable to join a Online lobby -And maybe if you hate playing online..
my resson is because if the multiplayer game has console commands, u can test those commands in an offline game without setting up a dedicated server. Example: TF2
Yes. I’m tired of playing games as an e sport. I just want to chill out in a game as a bad player. Often bots are better than me or match my skill in games. I want them.
Those who say less people in multiplayer modes if they put bots in... just makes me never play Shooters... which is true. I don’t play any shooter without bots.
every game should be playable offline with bots with everything unlocked this is what brought me to play the new star wars battlefront 2, counter strike, bf2 heat of battle mod and angels fall first bot matches are fun bc i actually get to try everything without paying microtransactions compare that to section 8 prejudice where you can only unlock most of the stuff playing online of a dead game so most of the stuff will never be experienced anymore
Curious. If these games had that Offline mode should everything be unlocked from the start. Or do you believe like i do, that the game should play the exact same as the regular multiplayer where you unlock things as you progress by rank or leveling up.
@@FoxParasyte i'm good with either way but i'd prefer if everything was already unlocked really give it a sandbox experience like the old games do maybe it depends on the game and the progression system is a way to tutorialize the player on the different mechanics to not overwhelm them and not just pad out the game time
I like the progression thing because it raises the replay value, giving players a reason to play more of the game. So that they can unlock everything and rank up to the highest level. I've never been a fan of everything being unlocked from the start, i don't think there is one game like that where i have played half as much as one with progression unlockables.
@@FoxParasyte to each their own world war z's progression system is too slow for me and having some of the currency rewards locked behind timed events is annoying even if i can play them solo with bots i've never stopped playing left 4 dead 2 even though you have everything from the start, and if i just want more content i'll just install some mods multiplayer games with progression tend to not have mod support also which is part of the fun because its "cheating" i just want a sandbox experience where i play the game whatever way i want because its fun instead of playing it just a certain way just to unlock certain items i dont like playing a video game to feel like a job like a lot of live service games are
I feel like it'd be nice to see more of. I have bad anxiety and I can play games online with my friends perfectly fine yet when it's just me, I usually opt for something less social like Minecraft opposed to something like R6
Without even watching the video first, absolutely. Almost every multiplayer game should have bots. Not only will this help newcomers, bots are also good to test mechanics, relax and have some fun, and ensures that if the game is low on playerbase, bots will make sure the game NEVER dies. Some good examples of games with bots: Call of Duty games from Black Ops 1 to even Cold War, Brink, CSGO, almost any fighting game on the market, etc Edit to a 2 year old comment: The WW1 Game Series is also perfect for offline bots. Verdun, Tannenberg, and Isonzo all have offline modes with large scale bot battles.
I wish I had you as a friend when I was in middle school or high school cause I would have a video game buddy. We could play video games together and have a good time. I have a massive love for video games, animations, fantasy creatures, vehicles, robots, movies etc. I have a video game buddy and his name is Lucas. Lucas is 7 I think and he only plays certain video games. Lucas plays Onrush, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic the Fighters, Sonic Forces, MX vs ATV All Out, Kirby Air Ride, Spider-Man and some other PS3 games. I hope you have a nice day!
Great video. I mean it. 👍 Bots I feel should be required. Games i play with bots are black ops 1,2,3 killzone 3, and killzone mercenary . People be to toxic nowadays. I agree they say some hateful stuff. Long time ago I was playing resident evil operation raccoon city and was getting hate messages and dude talking crap in the lobby before the match. Like people love to be mean or something.. and I was playing battlefield hardline the other day and was getting wrecked. But I learn the map and started to do good the people who own that seriver ban me from there. They only wanted me to kill but, when i started to get better they where like nope BAN. Sometimes people don't wanna play against other people and i don't blam them. You made a lot of good points in the video. I look forward to your other vids

Brink was an excellent game it just needed better performance for online play and more game modes other than that I loved it in fact i maxed out 6 characters
I love Brink, it's honestly one of the more fun games i've played. When i played it online with a few of my friends back when it came out we all loved it. We all pretty much agreed there were tons of online games better but still. I think we all maxed out our characters and platinumed the game before moving on to something else.
When I use to Play COUNTER-STRIKE - Online Gamers packs back in 2003, we enjoyed BOTS for training purposes, in the Klan I was in,.. [TKa] Ras.... Sincerely, Matt Sabre-Tooth..
Great video buddy. Yeah I don't understand why a game like hunt 1869 would be online only. It's such a gorgeous beautiful game and I personally can't stand playing online. I don't like the excessive loading screens and I don't like getting shot by a player who's just sitting at the top of a barn for 20 minutes waiting for someone to walk past. It is curious in this age where AI can do so many things why I developer wouldn't just do these arena battle style modes but offer them offline as well

Honestly I tend to only spend my money on video games that can be played and enjoyed both online and offline. Bot support adds to the shelf life & the appeal of a video game for me, the only reason I didn't by games like the crew and insurgency sandstorm, is because I'd have to be always connected to the internet just to play and experience these games firsthand. Most of the games I love most can be played both online and offline The borderlands franchise , the doom franchise, battlefield bad company 1&2 the halo franchise, wolfenstein franchise the forza horizon series, left4dead 1&2 and I even enjoyed back4blood oddly enough. I also enjoy cod 2019 cod black ops 1,2, &3 the original modern warfare trilogy, prodeus and the street fighter 30th anniversary, street fighter IV, king of fighters XIII , dragon ball fighterz, need for speed hot pursuit remastered and the list of games goes on and on. Single player games and multiplayer games that have offline bots support and games that are capable of being played both online and offline are still relevant and much needed in the gaming industry & the growing gaming community as a whole. During the covid pandemic gaming was a means of stress relief & relaxation for me when so many of us where stuck inside during the early stages of the pandemic and travel was restricted but I was a gamer even before then. So many people would've lost their minds during the pandemic without having the option of playing video games to reduce the stress such a situation could have a person. So I'm all in favor of more video games having an offline single player mode and offline bots support for games like rainbow six seige which sadly cant be played offline though it's a good one. Also I wish halo infinite added offline bot support that could actually be played offline so you could more options than just the single player campaign which is fun to play. But that's just my opinion sorry for the tldr.
Honestly, every multiplayer shooter should have a bot option and it should not have to take anything away from the PvP experience. For me, I don't even care if the bots are the smartest or greatest, I just want them to be present and serviceable. They provide a safe learning environment for new players as well as a potentially fun environment for those who do not prefer PvP. By including bots, you're giving players choices. And by allowing offline play, people who do not have internet or have an inconsistent connection can still fully enjoy the game. I personally only purchase multiplayer shooters that have bots. No bots, no purchase. And I have made a concerted effort over the past few years to reward those companies that do provide bots in their games with my money. I'm just so thankful for the developers that keep gamers like me in mind because I prefer to play against bots.
I love playing CoD's Multiplayer offline against bots. However I wish some of the older CoDs (World at War and MW2 specifically) had offline bots. Like when they remastered MW1 and added that feature into the game.
+1, creo que los bots deberían ser una opción siempre para la gente que quiere jugar tranquilamente y sin tener que suscribirse a alguna cuota abusiva de online (en caso de jugar en consolas, claro)
kinda explained some of that in the video... People who are against it complain that it takes a lot more time and money to introduce bots. I've also heard many people complain about games that include bots in their main modes saying it doesnt make the game competitive when you arent playing against real players.
Why? What's the point in going on? I've given 2 examples to you and there were additional ones in the video that were brought up. Besides i'm for bots i want them in every game as long as the devs actually implement them well which a good amount of them do not.
NO. If a game is dead, it’s dead. Bots should always be a private thing. It is a literal scam to do so. Fortnite actually does this and some other shady games as well.
Any game claiming to be a multi-player game that doesn't have offline bots / LAN / custom server support is a scam. If you are forced to play on 'official' online servers, you don't own the game, you just subsribed a cloud-based gaming service.
Bots are always a good addition to increase the shelf-life of the game, there are a lot of games that you simply can't play anymore because the servers are gone, or the player-base has moved on to something else, or sometimes you have to install mods/user-made patches to play online, like with the older Battlefield games.

There is a mod for mw2 that adds bots, it's pretty good
the real answer for this is that dev. this days are just lazy ang greed thats why we see few multi. games have bots
If bots are good, this is easy purchase for me
The answer is yes.
Yes.
Me encantan los Bots y no me gusta jugar Online.
+1, creo que los bots deberían ser una opción siempre para la gente que quiere jugar tranquilamente y sin tener que suscribirse a alguna cuota abusiva de online (en caso de jugar en consolas, claro)
Omg evolved is my baby child ,😭😭😭😭
It's really not even that bad of a game. It's just painfully boring playing solo after an hour imo.
I used to play it with my mates it's very funny tbh 🤣
I still hate bots because you can't improve against them. If you want bots, why not make a separate mode for that?
OFFLINE BOTS FOREVER!
YES! Why would you even ask such a question?!
I've heard people be against it for various reasons
@@FoxParasyte Such as?
kinda explained some of that in the video...
People who are against it complain that it takes a lot more time and money to introduce bots. I've also heard many people complain about games that include bots in their main modes saying it doesnt make the game competitive when you arent playing against real players.
@@FoxParasyte Both of those reasons are bullshit, but go on.
Why? What's the point in going on? I've given 2 examples to you and there were additional ones in the video that were brought up. Besides i'm for bots i want them in every game as long as the devs actually implement them well which a good amount of them do not.
More rise and fall of game studios please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm currently working on another, it's an unorthodox one of a company most people would never expect.
NO. If a game is dead, it’s dead. Bots should always be a private thing. It is a literal scam to do so. Fortnite actually does this and some other shady games as well.
What makes it a scam?
Any game claiming to be a multi-player game that doesn't have offline bots / LAN / custom server support is a scam. If you are forced to play on 'official' online servers, you don't own the game, you just subsribed a cloud-based gaming service.
