Is anyone else sick of multiplayer only focused ratings by users?

Increasingly all i ever read about game experience by users on this forum is just whether the multiplayer part of a game is fun or not. Do you actually want a plot in your games? Something like a narrative, that's going to make you remember it? I am not referring to racing or fighting games, ok those never had any, but all other , FPS or not, action/shooter adventures. Maybe it's just really young people who post on these forums and just want to get to the "big weapons" as soon as possible or something. In ten years time when a game like Heavy Rain comes along people will droop their heads on the side and stare at it. Yes i am bitter!

I never play online multiplayer, I just enjoy the single player campaign. The muliplayer A) doesn't interest me at all and B) I've got quite a backlog of games I haven't started on, and if I spent time online I'd never get through what I've already got, much less find time to play any of the great new stuff coming out.

So yeah, multiplayer is of absolutely no interest to me, and neither are games that focus almost entirely on multiplayer and give you some stinky little 5 hour excuse for a single player campaign that only serves as a primer for the multiplayer.

I always wonder what people will think 5 years from now, when they read these fabulous game reviews on Gamespot, run out all excited and buy the game, only to find out the multiplayer servers were shut down years ago and the single player campaign is crap.

I play most games for the single player experience. I really enjoy a game where the story pulls you in and makes you care about the characters and where the plot is leading. I really enjoyed Uncharted 1 and 2 and Bioshock. I have purchased Heavy Rain but have not played it yet. Looking forward to it though.
