Poll: Do you like multiplayer?

[WayOutThere]

I don't really care for multiplayer. I'll make a thread explaining why some other time. Right now, I just want to know if I'm in a tiny minority of gamers that have no real interest in it or if many gamers don't.

 

[Smack-Ferret]

I like co-op games with friends. I don't like playing free for all's with people who play the game from sunrise to sunset that hack.

i'm inbetween cos some games can have fun multiplayer that almost anyone can pick-up and understand how to play(l4d is a very easy game to understand, for example.), but then others( for me it's halo 3.) that i always die within 1 minute of re-spawning, so i end up rage quitting.

Because spending more than a minute learning to play would be such a drain on your obviously powerful intellect..

have you heard of what a hyperbole is? cos if you haven't you better look it up before this turns into a flame war.

also i had trouble with a console FPS. so what? i despise trying to aim at people with an analog stick. i much prefer a computer FPS. the only exception to that rule is L4d cos 90% of the enemies run blindly at you, allowing me to aim in there general direction, with the only problem being the special zombies when played by other people, who most die on 1-2 hits anyway ,allowing me to kill them.even then i still dislike the analog stick aiming.

I hate it when a game gets judge solely on either its multiplayer or single player modes. You need to consider both!

You've been given no reason to insult him. Keep these forums a happy place bro.

While i prefer local multiplayer and usually stick with that, i dont mind it. It has its good moments, which generally out weighs the bad, specially on the PC.

My thoughts exactly although Halo 3 is an exception to the PC rule which is generally true.

 

[blackshark121]

I love it, but it needs to be well executed.

 

[GrindBass]

I really enjoy playing split-screen with some mates occasionally, it's a shame this feature isn't included an a fair number of newer games as developers focus on online. But I'm not a huge fan of online play, partly I suppose because not many of my friends have a PS3 but also I'm not much of a team player so I tend to go it alone and die a lot. Or maybe that's just because I'm rubbish...

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

I love multiplayer, except when there's lag, my team is rubbish, or the other team is made entirely of little kids who play the game 20 hours a day.

But I definitely give GOOD multiplayer games 5 stars, provide a lot more replay value than a purely single player game.

 

[rhyno435]

It depends on the game. I love CoD4 online. Certain games I don't enjoy as much.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I like multiplayer ... I DON'T like when multiplayer gameplay is required to unlock game content

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

It depends on the game, if its a multiplayer only game then the multiplayer is perfected and I love it (A.K.A. TF2).

Some games the multiplayer is good even though it has a campain (I.E., Call Of Duty 4) and usually thats around a 4.

Some games the multiplayer is just tacked on and its terable(Turning Point Fall Of Liberty, acually that whole game sucked) aka a 1.

And some games like Half Life and Bioshock dont even have a multiplayer yet the singleplayer is amasing. (and yes I know there is such thing as Half Life Deathmatch, but thats not the point.)

So it all depends on what game your talking about.

 

[KaiRai]

Sometimes online multiplayer is a pain in the ass. Badly, but mostly it's good fun. I'll give it a 4

 

[high_castle]

I don't mind local co-op on some games. Racing games, for instance, just wouldn't be fun without the split-screen. But most of the time I'm playing games to escape my real life and the people within it. Plus 90% of the human race are idiots, so why would I want to play online and encounter them? For that reason, I much prefer single-player for most games.

 

[DazZ.]

I tend to only play multiplayer games.

Unless the story is awesome and there is alot to explore. I prefer being able to joke about with people and get better whilst I play. Will give the single player ago but it has to be fucking good to hold my attention.

 

[falcon1985]

As long as it's with friends, it's ok. I have no problem with LAN games, at least the people you're playing with are in the same damn building. That way if they pull a dick move you can just walk over and tear them appart.

It's when squaring off against complete strangers online that the proverbial shit tends to hit the fan. For some reason every online game turns into a hatefull, racist, ignorance spewing mess. My guess is it's because there are too many angsty 12 year olds without adult supervision playing, who were told they are special, because every child is special an all that crap.

i just don't have the patience to not kill stupid people i guess

I'm a 4, if it's a good game I love love love multiplayer. My husband and I are doing RE5 on every difficulty together. My whole family used to get in on Turok 2 and Mario Party. We <3 Katamari was so awesome multiplayer.

There are some games I don't like multiplayer. Things like Baldur's Gate where I just want to dick about without having someone there to bore silly. I prefer local multiplayer where I can just chill with my friends and family rather than the luck of the draw online, but then I've made some friends that way too.
