Poll: Would you buy a game ONLY for multiplayer?

[Stu1701]

The multi-player would have to be really good for me to do so. I'm a big fan of story based game play.

 

[Aura Guardian]

Damn does everyone on the Escapist hate multiplayer except for TF2?

OT: The only games I've bought without any consideration at single player at all are L4D and L4D2.

becuase they are valve fanboys, jk.

I dont know the real reason. :/ :\

That could be a reason. I love TF2 but I hate Valve and their other games.

Team fortress 2 and counter strike source.

i bought Bad Company2 for its multiplayer, best thing was that i got a decent story tacked onto it with comedy and generally decent characters.

and i bought the PS3's orange box (its really not that bad guys) so i will buy games if they don't have multiplayer as well (the TF2 in it is almost unplayable due to chronic lack of players)

 

[nevets69ing]

i bought halo 3 just for the multiplayer

 

[Kielgasten]

I´m sure someone has said it before:

Left for Dead

 

[Nouw]

Of course I would! I love Multiplayer

 

[Jast]

I only truly enjoy multiplayer when I am in the same room as the person I am playing with. Even if the person I'm playing cannot play for crap, offline multiplayer has always been far more enjoyable to me. So no I would most certainly not buy a game for multiplayer.

 

[cornmancer]

I bought TF2, so I guess yeah.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

No, never. I wouldn't purchase a game if it was multiplayer-oriented or if half the achievements had to be earned online.

 

[Kosnark]

I love multiplayer i feel like hating multiplayer archtype is a new hipster thing to do. WC3 TFT soon SC2 MW2 BF2 LoL I play games as a competitive sport not that I dont enjoy great single player ie Dragon Age Bioshock Mass Effect 1&2 maby it is bad taste but compettive multiplayer is way longer lasting than replay value of stories and liniar games.

 

[ShockValue]

I definitely would. I have a few times already, my most recent one being Team Fortress 2.

 

[Snotnarok]

Team Fortress 2
Bad Company 2 - this game has no campaign, don't fool yourself.
Borderlands
Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect

In short, yes.

 

[nicholaxxx]

I've bought MAG and Counter strike, and I'll be buying SCII and Blazblue for the multiplayer.

 

[Stryc9]

Yes, I bought Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament 2004, and both Battlefront games and they're all pretty much multiplayer focused. Don't ask me why I bought them though, I hardly do that much multiplayer.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Well, yes.
In fact, I do it all the time.
If the game is good, I don't really care if it has a singleplayer campaign.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

If/ when I replace the 360 I had that bricked, I am getting L4D for the multiplayer.

I got ODST in the first place for horde and for the maps. Now that I have gotten securely addicted to Firefly, I am probably going to give it a run through to hear Animal Mother and Nathan Fillion.

Another benefit to Watching Firefly is that I have something else to shout references to other than Full Metal Jacket when I play as Adam Baldwin's character.

PS: If the comment made it seem like I didn't know, yes I do realize that they shut down Firefly years ago. God I still love it! Wow I have to stop posting this late, I get SEVERELY off topic XD

 

[Lullabye]

Spoiler: Yes.

Yes I have.I also very much enjoyed monopoly.

 

[syndicated44]

Bad company 2. I got about halfway through the single player decided and I dont think I have played it for quite some time.
