Do you prefer the single player or multiplayer aspect of a game?

Which aspect of a game do u prefer? singleplayer or multiplayer and why?

I'm not a huge multiplayer so i would say that i prefer the sp aspect the most.

I prefer Single Player because the games I play and enjoy the most are JRPGs, however games like CoD, PES and such have to be played in MP

Single. I could care less about multiplayer. Thats something more for kids to waste time on.

Single Player.

Depends on the game. Games like UnCharted 3 and AC Brotherhood shouldnt need MP. They should scrap the MP and add more to the SP experience. That is just my opinion.Inmate_69

On topic i prefer the SP , I enjoy some story and the variation found there.

Single Player.

Agreed, because I like to play the game first by my slef, so I can enjoy it. Then if it's mulitplayer I will play it only if it's worth it to me.

Singleplayer. I do not care about multiplayer.

mostly singleplayer.

Depends on the game. Most games I prefer singleplayer, but for something like Battlefield or COD I prefer multiplayer.

Definetly single-player. I dont care if a game has multiplayer or not, but if it doesent have single-player im not gonna buy it.

It mostly depends on the game, but in general, I'd have to say single player, since I might buy a game even if it doesn't have online, but I've never bought a multiplayer-only game (thought Fat Princess might soon become an exception - I've been wanting to get it for quite some time now but I keep hearing how the community is dead). I mean, my most anticipated game release for 2011 is a single player-only game, which is Skyrim.

multiplayer because its disgraceful when sp only has 10 hour story

Definitely single player. The only exception I guess would be certain games with split screen single player, like me and my friends how we used to gather around and play Combat Evolved or Burnout together. Ghost Recon 2 was a lot of fun in split screen as well. Online multiplayer these days is just mostly garbage. Local MP and single player is where it's AT. So in that respect, it's actually kind of hard to choose...

SP...... and MP, combined 8) Demon's Souls b......

I'm not a fan of multiplayer so sp is more for me.

**** you kittens arent jerks

Single Player I like engaging stories and the experience.

Always single player. I never play the mp portion of games anymore.

Depends on the game. Games like UnCharted 3 and AC Brotherhood shouldnt need MP. They should scrap the MP and add more to the SP experience. That is just my opinion.Inmate_69

I totally agree with you, the multiplayers for those games are good but nothing compared to the games' singleplayer. They should take out the multiplayer and add some co-op stuff. my opinion.

single player only. in fact one of the things i look for online when i consider buying a game is making sure it has little if any online content, the less online content/multiplayer/ect, the more likely i am to buy the game.

It depends on the genre. FPS, I would like a good SP but the MP needs to be pretty good aswell. For basically anything else I care more about SP.

I prefer the co-op of mulitplayer & as well as single player such as Ace Combat 5:Squadron Leader.8)

Single player, by a margin of about a million miles. Multiplayer is full of horrible children who can't get any fun out of a game unless they're ruining it for everyone else. Single player has a story, characters, a progression from beginning to middle to end, everything that makes a game a game.

I remember somebody else on this forum saying - The day single player games die, is the day I quit gaming.

That sums up my stance on this topic.

Well, as everyone basically said, it really depends on the game. I bought MW2 for the mp, and actually ended up liking the sp quite a bit. Games like AC2 and Brotherhood I got for the sp. Sports games are also big mp games for me. I'd say the majority of my gameplay time is spent in sp unless it's really great mp such as B:BC2, KZ2 (before everyone got rocket/grenade launchers), and COD games (though I do find the COD sp experience to be a bit better at times than the mp). So overall I'd say I get games for the sp, especially if it's a long sp (i.e. AC series, Bioshock 1/2, ME2) or one that keeps you coming back for more.

I always prefer the singleplayer. Multiplayer I do play on occasion, and I rarely ever buy a multiplayer only game.

well that's rather single minded. MP is basically a standard now, so having a game without it isn't that common. Sure, I think it's rather useless to have mp in Dead Space 2, Red Faction Guerrilla, and a few others but it doesn't disuade me from getting a game of the sp is still good. That's why I'm going to get Crysis 2 eventually, the mp really doesn't look appealing to me, but the sp looks pretty neat. Though, I really hope Deus Ex: Human Revolution doesn't have mp, that would just be horrible and most likely be really unbalanced. IDK what happened with Homefront and its 4 hour sp, but I doubt that was the fault of the mp, especially since they were hyping the sp for so long it seems like they intentionally made it so short.

I hate games that rely to much on multiplayer. Killzone,COD and Halo that means you.

SIngleplayer, I do enjoy the MP of some games a lot (KZ2, Resistance 2, BioShock 2).

Single player

I very rarely play on-line. Just deathmatch once and then. Not a huge fan of multiplayer modes on games.
