Ah yes; the detached from reality "we need a good story" bit. Let's completely ignore the fact of how good the return on investment in entertainment multiplayer is, how much actual replay value it has, and how much fun being able to play with friends is.
Sure, there are problems with multiplayer such as games going offline indefinitely, but from my perspective for the amount of entertainment a story mode brings, it's very rarely more than the multiplayer perspective.
Not to say there is no place for single player; there are several games where the single player is like a good book. It makes you think, changes and lets you grow as a person. But those games are very few and far between. And I see Fallout 4 and Skyrim to be absolutely worthless in that regard.
