Do you prefer single player or mutliplayer/online?

I vastly prefer single player gaming experiences, because they have greater depth. Multiplayer is just a side mode to me, where other people are required to play, and what are you doing? 10 minute matches over and over again? That gets old FAST, and it's repetitive. I have PS3 and free online, but I never play Resistance or MotorStorm online, because there's not enough depth. No story development or progression. The only multiplayer games that I ever enjoyed were Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Party games, etc. But overall, I can't wait for games like MGS4, FFXIII, Ratchet & Clank Future, Lair, Heavenly Sword. All promised to be AAA gaming experiences for a single player. I guess I'm just jaded from multiplayer gaming in general.

Multiplayer is just there to add a little more zest, but that's it. It Get's old fast.  

Single player. Single player ganes allow for much more depth, story telling and a sense of accomplishment. Sure multiplayer is fun (especially with friends in the room), but its very short term stimulus. In single player you have continuous story, level design and other game elements not available in multiplayer modes. When you accomplish something in single player, the next time you boot up the game, your previous accomplishments come instantly into play. Multiplayer, maybe you'll have some sort of game stats but that's usually it. Co-op is probably the best kind of multiplayer, but not many deep single player games can support it.

It's too close to call for me. It depends on what game it is and what aspect of play it focuses on. For shooters, it would obviously be multiplayer because that is what they usually focus on and playing with friends is one of the most fun things you can do when you play video games in my opinion. That's why I prefered Xbox over the PS2 last gen. But for RPGs like Kotor, Fable, and the Elder Scrolls, it would be single player obviously because that is what it focuses on and there usually isn't a multiplayer for those kind of games. But then again, there are exceptions, like Neverwinter Nights, where I have more fun online playing with other people.

I guess it just depends on your favorite genre, but it's really hard to choose for me. I have so much fun with RPGs, but I think of all of the times I've had playing something like Halo 1 and 2 with my friends and the amount of fun I've had with them. It's just too hard to choose.
