Personally I much prefer a really good single player game over a multiplayer game if that's what you're asking...

nice title...

Multiplayer can make me mad just because there are some pretty cheap deaths that way, but single player can also get extremely annoying i.e. Killzone 2 Elite mode. It just depends on what I'm in the mood for I guess.

Oh haha at the title, but I figured this would be the "true" meaning. I vastly prefer single-player experiences. Whenever a game relies more on the multiplayer experience, I get the huge notion the devs wanted me to save $60.

I think everyone here likes to play with themself at one point or another.

Pretty much most of the last two generations were comprised of nothing but self satisfaction, but we finally became fed up with it and wanted more.

Now we play with others, multiple partners even. We can play with each other as much as we want because it's practically free.

Playing with yourself may not be as popular as playing with others is now, but you can always rest assured that after playing with others and not having your expectations met, you can always come back to that special someone for satisfaction: you.

I personally like to play with myself, because I know what I want and there's always an emotional attachment that I just can't get when I play with other people.

Playing with yourselfcomes first. Playing with others comes second. If you're good at the first your playmates will appreciateyou better in the second. Sometimes it doesn't matter which comes first, so long as you play often.

I almost always complete a game's single player campaign before even checking out the online play. But good online play tends to renew my enthusiasm when I bore with playing alone.

I like both, a good single player game can only last a certain length and has a certain re playability whereas multiplayer games just keep going, it really depends on what mood you are in.

depends on the game really.

if its something like Kingdom Hearts or Devil May Cry(games that are single player or have deep stories), i like to play all by my lonesome but if its something like CoD4, it so much more fun having friends around to shoot at and blow up.

then there are games like mgs4 where i like the story, but love playing people online as well. im pretty evened out i guess

i seem to be immature because the title of the thread made me laugh.

I played oblivion and recently fallout3, there is alot of fun stuff to do an see. having a friend around would make it cool too i guess. just toss the controller back an forth. kinda like when my buddies an i played GTA3, we passed the controller around us everytime we died from going on gun rampages throughout the city.

I play with yourself, I like single player missions but sometimes they tend to get annoying like bike missions of gta4. I play multiplayer but I prefer to be casual in the online area rather than hardcore because there are alot of cheap tricks out there. Learned it when I took seriously Warcraft 3.

But mostly, playing with myself with noone else watching is good, as someone watching puts me off what I am actually good at. Playing with myself is a enjoyable experience, that is part of everyones life at one stage. I just love it! :P

yeah, playing with myself has always been less stressful... although i do like to play with others. sometimes i play with myself while my gf watches... she likes to watch me play with myself once in a while, but it often end's up me feeling a little awkward, so we end up playing together... sometimes i catch her playing with herself too... but i always want to join as i get bored by only watching...

we play terrorist hunt in R6V1 (that mode still hasn't lost it's charm :) )

sometimes we take turns on call of duty; she's good at it so i can't complain...

that's pretty much all we play together as i promised my self that "i shall play a guitar based game no more!"

Single player. All day long. Multiplayer modes never hold my interest for long. KZ2 was the only thing I played for over a month, and even its lost its original flare. The Red Faction multiplayer is pretty darn fun, but I still stick with the single player mode most of the time. I really play games for the story experience. That's what attracks me to them. And like you said, TC, Its a lot harder to get frustrated when you're playing alone. Playing with yourself FTW.

I completely misinterpreted the title,lol,was that your intent TC?:P

but yea,i simply cant play games with strong single player with others,we say jokes,etc.

even with another person just there,it takes away from me being"in the game"

strong narratives are MEANT to be played by yourself

I consider Single player and online multi-player to be still playing by yourself unless you actually know the other people. But I prefer gaming with other people even if its just a single-player game. Recently I was playing Uncharted beta and then my sister just sits down on the couch watching. She gets a laugh out of reading other people's usernames. Now I just hand her the mic when I'm online and she has no-problem trash-talking and making fun of everyone there. I guess the bad news is now everyone probably thinks I'm jerk.

I like to play by myself. There's no one else to annoy me or frustrate me when it's just myself playing. I prefer RPGs anyway, so that's why I like single player games.

It all depends on the game, games with an in depth singl player (Bioshock, Prototype, Infamous, GTA 4,ect.) I will play by myself. Games with less of a single player (COD, Little Big Planet, Smash Bro's, ect.) I will play with friends. I do prefer playing with people because what is the point of shooting someone in the face if you can't talk Sh!% with them.
