Are you a Single Player gamer mainly? And do you buy MP focused games for SP?

*Note* You are suppose to wait until level 10 before you make a thread.

But im a single player gamer and despise how many games are tacking on multiplayer.

i am a sp gamer. only online games i play are fifa regularly and call of duty every blue moon. I don't have the time to dedicate myself to getting good at online games. I'm also ultra competitive, so i get frustrated easily when i play online, and am losing. I play games to relax, not to raise my blood pressure.

Both. I enjoy playing lengthy SP games (Fallout 3 + New Vegas/KH 1+2/GTA/RDR/ and so on) just as much as MP games ( Killzone 2, Uncharted 2+3[mostly 3 now], Fifa 12[this one is a mix between SP and MP], Resistance 3, and so on).

All that I care is that the game is good and fun, be it SP only or MP only game :)

EDIT: Oh level 1 user.. such a shame, this thread will likely be closed :S You need to a level 10 to post here buddy....

Mostly single player. Most the multiplayer I have is local multiplayer, but I do play online multiplayer from time to time.

I have a couple of multiplayer games I play extensively - namely League of Legends (less recently) and Tribes: Ascend - and I tend to stick to them. Whenever I get a game with multiplayer, I play it a few times to see how it is, and then just focus on the SP portion.

I'm definitely a singleplayer guy first and foremost. I do enjoy the occasional multiplayer RTS, fighting or racing game, and to a lesser extent shooter, but without some kind of story to keep me going I lose interest pretty quickly.

Yes, I'm a single player focused gamer. I hate, haaaate the way MP gaming has taken over this gen. I do buy games like CoD MW3 and BF3 for it's campaign. I love single player games and wish we had more focused games for it.

Too many damn tacked on multiplayer, every game has to have it now *cough max payne cough*.

I usually beat the SP first and then move on to the MP. I'd say it's about 50% in both catagories.

Really the only multiplayer gamse I play are Quake Live, TF2, and Tribes Ascend. I mostly play single player games though.

The rules are simple, but mostly SP.Badosh

I hate it too. I dont play games to run around in circles competing for kills. Thats not what gaming is about. This generation seems to have this idea that gaming is all about.... shooting each other. What the hell happened to gaming & gamers?

Gaming is about the single player experience. A journey from start to finish. Not being planted on a small arena ( map ) & shooting other people until you get the magic number on the scoreboard.

I dont even considering MP apart of gaming. Its just a mindless bonus mode for the trigger happy kids.

Single player since if you are not a competitive person multiplayer pretty much universally is ass.

both equally. I have hundreds of hours invested in singleplayer RPGs and RTS games, and also admin a TF2 server and play many other online games

I'm a SP gamer all the way! I also enjoy local MP gaming a good bit.

Online mp just kind of came and went for me. It can be fun, but very rarely do you get a fresh experience. Plus I don't have the time to take online gaming seriously which is almost a requirement to enjoy a lot of competitive games.

I consider MP a bonus mode. Thats always what it was. A bonus mode to the actual game. Target practice, virtual paintball matches, nothing more.

Now for games that are purely focused on MP i consider those games glorified bonus modes. That's why you'll never see me purchase a game like BRINK. If its MP only then then it either should be "free to play" or shouldnt exist.

Keep in mind i dont hate multiplayer but gamers today want to glorify it, make it the main attraction, & make it seem like more than it really is. For me its not worth any money, at all.

You must have very little experience with multiplayer games then. Must be just CoD, and maybe one or two other games.

Even in my noobiest days of any online game I play I don't think I've ever experienced anything bad enough to actually care about.

Give me a good SP any day, see I know a lot of people who just play through their games once and never touch them again or just do MP after. I hate those people (well not really), I try to get the most out of my product so I'll replay a game more than once.

Hell I played through each Uncharted game like more than 7 times (which is easy to do because Uncharted is just so awesome). MP is ok with me, I like playing online with friends but I find most MP modes just seem tacked on and get boring after a short time.

Though online gaming is important to me, that's part of the reason why I went with PS3 over 360 because it offers more MP variety and it's FREE.

Main reason why I went with it was becuase of the excluisves, which it has plenty of awesome SP ones like God of War, Uncharted (great MP aswell), MGS4, Rachet and Clank ect...
