Poll: do you prefer single or multiplayer

[tim98042]

yeah both for me, there's nothing like completing a single player, but i play mostly on the multiplayer just because i think it has more longevity

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Single player. I do play multiplayer games with some friends but I prefer single player games.

 

[Robert632]

I prefer sinleplayer, but that's mostly because I can't seem to kill many people during a multiplayer mnatch, and just ten to go in with a group and I also try to be semi-sneaky.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I get bored very easily with multi-player, because you're constantly fighting the same battle over and over.

With single-player you get a well constructed adventure with interesting characters and story (if the game is good).

 

[mad825]

blah, real gamers never will go on multi player(online) often. (excluding PC gamers, RTS on-line rules)

most people who do go on-line are phoneys as such because they have been exploited or they are social freaks and dont want to miss out on the newest fad

 

[AvsJoe]

Single-player 100% of the time in most genres but multi-player in sports and fighting games.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

It depends. Am I playing an FPS? A sports game? An RPG?

i completely agree it depends

 

[Carnagath]

Single player only, unless it's something like Demon's Souls. I've had my share of fun with MMO's but that's over. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the mannered nature of the SC2 beta testers so I enjoy going online on that, no matter if I win or lose, since there's no teabagging mentality going on. For the time being at least, I'm sure the retard hordes will fuck that up once the game is released.

 

[The Zango]

Mostly single player but only on occasion will i play abit of Left 4 dead 2 online (its not the only game but the most prevalent.

 

[Carlston]

its in the title.
for the sake of an easier way to judge hinge your decision on first person shooters
me I'll have to go both.

Always single, unless the multi player game has those people right next to me in a lan ect.
Since every fracking FPS devolves into aimbots and hacks in a week anyway...

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

It depends completely on the game.

Personally, I play FPS games with friends when I can...

 

[Liberaliter]

I lean more towards singleplayer, but I do love a bit of local multiplayer or online if its with friends.

 

[CrikeyO]

Both. I can get really into the story of a game like BioShock, but multiplayer like MW2 or Team Fortress 2 can be quite enjoyable with friends.

 

[Gladion]

I enjoy both, but it really depends on the game. Heavy Rain? I could not imagine playing that with others around. God of War? Yeah, it's better with other people around. Left 4 Dead? I never play that without any friends.

I quite enjoy trying to get a good story from most games.

With the emphasis on trying I suppose?

 

[Flames66]

I prefer co-operative multiplayer.

Single player is fun, but it's almost always more fun with a friend.

I despise competitive multiplayer, though.

Agreed. I like to play with other players against some enemy (AI), but I'm not too keen on playing against the players.

 

[darth jacen]

i don't mind either but usually do enjoy the single player more

 

[Audioave10]

Singleplayer only for me as I'm quite old to be trying to keep up with you guys.

 

[Meggiepants]

I don't mind either, as long as I have someone that I can trust to play with.

Co-op on campaign modes can be really fun if it is done right. But some games are really better solo, like Fallout 3 or Bioshock. If they were to add multiplayer to those I think it would ruin the experience for me.

 

[Audioave10]

I just don't have the time for multiplayer.

 

[Keava]

If its shooter then rather would go for multiplayer, i get bored running aorund killing random spawns for no reason at all, and with real people at least its more dynamic.
For other genres it really depends with what in mind the game was made. Some i like only for their singleplayer, some moslty mutliplayer and some manage both.
