Poll: So who actually likes Multiplayer?

[[.redacted]]

I nearly always play multiplayer, I just get so much more of a kick out of beating people not machines.

 

[Jodan]

i prefer cooperation to competition and would rather challenge myself against myself than another person who is compleatley diferent.
even in co-op i find pits one person against another even while trying to complete a shared objecttive this usually make me just zone out of the game and loose intrest.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

As a rule a game has to carry itself on single player to be worth playing in my mind, If it has good multiplayer too, that's a bonus. I generally dislike games that focus almost entirely on the multiplayer and end up neglecting the single player game.

Notable exception: Valve. TF2 and the L4D series are great multiplayer games that I would hesitate to play by myself, however these games were designed with more than one player in mind.

I don't even understand why people find the annoying 9-year old XBL kid is so annoying anyway. I mean, the mute function is there for a reason.

 

[jpoon]

Not a big fan, but on a rare occasion I will play some mp.

 

[aashell13]

I like LAN and CO-OP depending on who i'm playing with, but i don't like online multiplayer at all. Long Live Single-Player PC Gaming! Huzzah!

 

[Ulvai]

right now I'm only playing MMO (D&D Online). So... yeah.

I'm surprised to see this many people not liking multiplayer. How is playing without friends all the time even fun?

How is playing with a person you do not even know that insults your whole generation while screaming on the top of his voice that sounds like it hasn't hit puberty even fun?

Actually, it's quite hilarious.

Also, I was referring to playing with friends too, not just random people.

 

[marblemadness]

People who don't like multiplayer either only play RPG's or they have no friends. There are dozens and dozens of fun multiplayer games for all consoles and the PC. If you can't find one you enjoy, then you just don't like to have fun!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Of course I love multiplayer, otherwise TF2 would be a very boring game to me. I only dislike multiplayer when it is obviously the only focus of the developer. I don't have a lot of friends to game with anymore, so I need a good singleplayer campaign. "The multiplayer is awesome though" doesn't win me over.

 

[Nannernade]

For most games yes I do love multiplayer but I really only find enjoyment in it when I'm playing with some of my mates, allows us to laugh and giggle whenever we kill someone half way across the map with a random bullet. Also pretty fun when you face off against your mates.

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

I really love multiplayer where you work together as a team. Borderlands, Left 4 dead, Tomb Raider and the Guardian of Light... those are all super aweosme in my books.

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

Multiplayer? Hell yeah, i enjoy it as much as the single palyer and i usually play it alot more of it than sp of the game if it is good.

As for those 9 year olds screaming, it is honey for my ear to hear them cry after i destroy them and their little dreams in any FPS .

 

[Azex]

local co-op is and always should be a beautiful thing. ever since old school nes and beat em ups.

too bad its getting harder and harder to find such experiences. i got army of two 40th day specificly for this for me and my brother.

 

[loc978]

I voted "kind of"... I'm all for split screens or LAN, but online multiplayer with people I don't know in real life can suck it... and it's not even about listening to mouth-breathers with microphones for me. Multiplayer is about teamwork, which doesn't exist online outside of "guilds" and such, which I refuse to be a part of.

 

[lemonadeader]

Multiplayer with my mates yes, because i win Online not so much... but then again my xbox doesnt have live ^_^ Have to borrow my mates

 

[dibblywibbles]

multiplayer rocks my socks. I often wish certain games I play I could play with my friends. awesome story driven game that I can share with my friends?(like final fantasy 3...or 6 depending on how you view the world) yes please.

 

[C95J]

Yeah, multiplayer is great. For me, it is multiplayer that makes a game, of course it depends what game, but generally I get lots more time online than on the single player.

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

I only play multiplayer in one game, Team Fortress 2. The humor, the personalities of the classes, the collectables, the "fun" severs, there's no other game I'm willing to play online other than that. And because so many game focus on multiplayer and has the campaign as an afterthought, I don't play many new games. Though I'm willing to give Bulletstom's singleplayer a chance.

I would play more Left 4 Dead, when my computer stops crashing when I try to...

 

[Vibhor]

Actually, it's quite hilarious.

Also, I was referring to playing with friends too, not just random people.

Since Co-op doesn't count as multiplayer and competitive multiplayer also can ruin your friendship (the insulting bit).
So yeah! Co-op FTW
